“Have you heard of the legends of sleeping kings? The legends that heroes like Llewellyn and Glendower and Arthur aren’t really dead, but are instead sleeping in tombs, waiting to be woken?” The story is about a group of four boys (and a girl… eventually) that’s looking for the body of old Welsh King Glendower, […]

[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]: 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 […]
[Skye’s Review]: The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake
Friends, saying this book took me by surprise would be an understatement. It’s been a while since I’ve read such a thought-provoking book. This book truly makes you think and feel.

[Marie’s Review]: Stormrise by Jillian Boehme
Books and movies inspired by Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night are some of my favorite adaptations. Stormrise by Jillian Boehme has strong leanings and similarities to Disney’s Mulan – Mulan is one of my favorite Disney movies – and Boehme adds in fantasy elements, so of course the book caught my eye. At the start of the […]
[Annmarie’s Review] Butterfly in Frost by Sylvia Day
” You’re looking at it in the wrong way.” His grip tightens. “You’re broken. I’m broken. We don’t throw the pieces away. We fit them together until they make something new.” I think this quote is really helps sum up this story. Both characters are broken due to something in their past but they find […]
