I was super excited to read Bone Crier’s Moon. I love the premise: the Bone Criers are essentially sirens that ferry the dead. To be able to ferry the dead, a leuress (what the Bone Crier’s call themselves) must undergo a ritual where she finds her amouré, her soulmate, and kills him. By killing him, […]

[Lisa’s Review]: From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
With her most recent surprise release From Blood and Ash, Jen officially joined the ranks of high fantasy authors with a massive bang. It’s hands down the best book I’ve read this year, and definitely one of her best books to date. From epic fight scenes, over swoon-worthy men to strong female characters and steamy […]
[Diana’s Review]: Ruthless Gods by Emily Duncan
“Can you love someone and ask them to shatter themselves for you?” I… honestly don’t know what to say. Rest assured though, that whatever dark magic Emily Duncan had woven into writing Wicked Saints, it has become tenfold in this one. Ruthless Gods is everything dark, terrifying, and bloody but also ironically, impossibly sweet and […]
[Bre’s Review]: From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
“From Blood and Ash. We Will Rise.” Vicious and swoon-worthy, From Blood and Ash will take you on an adventure in a world where nothing is black and white. This story is about a young girl caught between good and bad, truth and lies. “Maiden or not, good or bad, Chosen or forsaken, I […]
[Skye’s Review]: From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Ladies and gentlemen, Jennifer L. Armentrout has officially made her foray into high fantasy, and it’s as if she was always there. From Blood and Ash is classic Jen but on another level. It’s more mature, developed, mysterious, and swoon-worthy than any of her other books. Full of epic fight scenes, hilarious witty banter, heartfelt […]
[Lisa’s Review]: There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool
There Will Come a Darkness is a solid fantasy debut that follows multiple characters through a well-established world of magic, prophecies, deceit, and political intrigue. Katy Rose Pool did an excellent job with the world-building. I was intrigued from the moment the book showed up on our available review copies list, and my curiosity grew […]
[Skye’s Review]: The Shadows Between Us By Tricia Levenseller
All I knew about this book was that it’s described as a Slytherin romance. Oh, boy, is it that. The main character of this book, Alessandra, is the epitome of a Slytherin. She’s ambitious, cunning, ruthless, charming and witty. She’s done horrible things yet you can’t help but like her. She accepts who she is […]
[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 […]
