[Rachel’s Review: The Faithless Hawk by Margaret Owen]

Review I have A LOT of feelings about The Faithless Hawk by Margaret Owen. About 72 of them are just me senselessly screaming “AHHHHH” but let me try to organize some of my more coherent ones for you. I LOVED the Merciful Crow when I read it last year and was desperately waiting for the […]

[Rachel’s Review]: There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool

Holy squad goals Batman, what the heck did I just read? This book was AMAZING with a unique magic system and a fantastic cast of characters. Honestly wish I could give it more than 5 stars. It’s like the author looked at all of us and was like: Ephyra, Beru, Anton, Jude and Hassan are […]

[Rachel’s Review]: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

I finished this book two weeks ago and I still cannot stop thinking about it. I wasn’t a fan of Gods of Jade and Shadow by the same author so I almost didn’t pick up this book but DANG AM I GLAD I DID! The first 60 or so pages are a little slow, but […]

[Rachel’s Review]: Foul is Fair by Hannah Capin

First and foremost I would suggest reading the content warnings on Hannah Capin’s website to determine if this is a safe book for you. Although it is an amazing book and I do recommend it, it’s important to keep your own wellbeing in mind! I didn’t even hear about this book until about a week […]

[Rachel’s Review]: The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White

Kiersten White has covered some of my favorite topics with Slayer (and upcoming Chosen!) diving deeper into the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the eerie horror of The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein taking the question of whether Frankenstein the doctor or the creation was more of a monster to new heights. So […]

[Rachel’s Review]: The Grace Year by Kim Liggett

I am still really struggling to determine my feelings on this one. Overall I enjoyed The Grace Year and would recommend it to fans of the Handmaid’s Tale and Lord of the Flies. I thought some parts of this were really strong and I liked the world-building, however, it was not clear how quickly time […]

[Rachel’s Review]: Gravemaidens by Kelly Coon

I. Loved. This. Book! It was so dark and had my heart absolutely racing from start to finish. Main character Kammani’s fifteen year old sister Nanaea is one of three beautiful girls chosen to accompany Lugal Marus, the leader of their city-state, into the Netherworld (aka afterlife) to be his Queen and serve him for […]

[Rachel’s Review]: American Royals by Katharine McGee

Ya know how sometimes you read a book and it’s just so fun that it hardly even feels like reading? This book was like watching a reality tv show or movie play out right before your eyes and I enjoyed every minute of it! American Royals is an alternative history where George Washington decided to […]
