With her surprise release of From Blood and Ash earlier this year, Jen caught most of us off guard. Finally, a High Fantasy series! What wasn’t a surprise to me at all is that I fell head over heels in love with the book. Naturally, I have been dying to get my hands on the […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Blood and Honey (Serpent and Dove #2) by Shelby Mahurin
Shelby Mahurin’s Serpent & Dove was one of my favorite books in 2019, and hands down one of the best debuts I had read in a long time. Naturally, reading the sequel was a no brainer, and all I can say is get ready folks! Shelby once again managed to completely pull me into her […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Sanctum (Blackwater Pack #1) by Hannah McBride
First things first, thank you, Hannah, for providing me with an ARC. I got to read very early versions of the book and was beyond excited to see the final product. It’s no secret that I’m total trash for shifter books, but holy awesome. It’s hard to believe that this is Hannah’s debut novel. The […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Want You to Want Me (Want You #2) by Lorelei James
Want You to Want Me is the second installment of Lorelei James Want You series and a cute, entertaining, frenemies to lovers romance. I haven’t read Lorelei James before, but based on the synopsis, I knew this could be right up my alley. Told in dual-point-of-view Want You to Want Me is a story about […]

[Lisa’s Review:] Set Fire to the Gods (Set Fire to the Gods #1) by Sara Raasch & Kristen Simmons
Gladiator meets the Last Airbender. Sarah Raasch & Kristen Simmon’s Set Fire to the Gods is a solid start into their eponymous new young adult fantasy series, in which gladiators settle wars between their gods in arena fights with elemental magic. The sort of ancient greek slash roman world-building drew me in from the get-go. […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu
Every once in a while, we stumble over a book that holds all the promise in the world; cursed princesses, witches, and an impossible task, and yet for some reason, we don’t connect with the story or the characters at all. Unfortunately, this exactly what happened to me with this book. While the idea behind […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
When I first read the synopsis, I immediately requested this one to review. Male on male, fake boyfriends and British humor – sign me up. But to be honest, I didn’t like it all that much. If I hadn’t had to review it and I’d believe in DNF’s, I probably would have put the book […]
