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]: A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire (Blood and Ash #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
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 […]
[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 […]
[Skye’s Review:] Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles
Where Dreams Descend felt like a set-up book to me. It felt like the author was laying the groundwork for the next book–which makes me super excited for the sequel. The author has a lot of questions to answer in the next book because, honestly, she didn’t answer many in Where Dreams Descend. The first […]
[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 […]

During the summers, the town opens its gates to the public and tourists searching for answers or salvation. In this town, things don’t simply happen.

[Skye’s Review]: Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar
Star Daughter felt unique and different from most books that have been published recently. It showcases how amazing Hindu mythology is, and it has a diverse cast of characters. I love that publishers are publishing diverse books. We need more representation in publishing, and this book is a step in the right direction. It gives […]
[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. […]
