[Caitlyn’s Review]: From Dust, a Flame by Rebecca Podos

What I truly love about fantasy at any level is its ability to invite readers into various cultures, seeped in ethnic and religious symbolism. I love books that introduce me to the pagan rituals of medieval Russia and the godly war of ancient Greece; they invite a new perspective, a new nuance to a tried-and-true […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Count Your Lucky Stars (Written in the Stars #3) by Alexandria Bellefleur

Starting this book, I had not read Bellefleur’s other works. After finishing, Count Your Lucky Stars, however, I am going to change that. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this read and seeing Margot and Olivia overcome their past miscommunication and ingrained fears regarding their history. While romance books are usually catnip for me […]

[Diane’s Review]: One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

So badly I wanted to love this book. The premise was so amazing and the ensemble of characters was great! Going into this I was hoping for something similar to Casey’s previous novel. With this one I found it hard to connect with August. While I loved the idea of her, I found the way […]

[Diane’s Review:] A Dark and Hollow Star (A Dark and Hollow Star #1) by Ashley Shuttleworth

QUEER BOOK OF THE YEAR! ALSO I NOW LIVE IN THE UNSEELIE SPRING COURT! Where to even begin?! I mean, that’s obvious, so without further ado… From the top! Ashley kicks this book off with a killer Prologue. Normally I find myself slipping during these drawling bits of info dumping, but not theirs. I was […]

[Skye’s Review:] Sweet and Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley

Adrienne Tooley’s writing is perfect for this type of book. The world she creates is one full of magic reminiscent of the fairytales we grew up hearing. She incorporates little nods to those stories by mentioning trolls under bridges or frogs who claim to be princes. I really appreciated and enjoyed those easter eggs she […]

[Skye’s Review:] Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

One of the main reasons I was super excited to read Honey Girl was because of the main character Grace. Grace has finally finished her schooling and now has her Ph.D. in Astronomy. She’s been working on her degree for 11 years. Now, she’s not sure what she wants to do. So much of her […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: The Dark Tide by Alicia Jasinska

I like to think Alicia Jasinska read Beauty and the Beast and thought: let’s make our beast a QUEEN and let’s make it dark. And I was totally and completely about it. This book focuses on two POVs: Lina Kirk and Queen Eva and they each have something to prove. The dynamic between Lina and […]

[Skye’s Review]: The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski

“So you tell me what would make a good, quiet girl get herself in trouble, especially when she had so much to lose. Tell me.” With a quote like that, you know you’re in for a delightful ride. That quote is from the very first chapter. Needless to say, I was helpless to Marie Rutkoski’s […]
