Wow. That’s all I can say. This book took me by surprise in the best way. Retellings can be hit or miss. This book was most definitely a hit. In fact, I think this is my favorite Hades and Persephone retelling that I’ve read! This book drew me in from the very first page. It […]

[Portia’s Review: A Fate of Wrath & Flame (Fate & Flame #1) by K.A. Tucker
“You are about to enter a world unlike that which you know.” KA Tucker has been a favorite author of mine since I first stepped into Ten Tiny Breaths. I read everything she writes. I have even read her previously published fantasy series, Causal Enchantment. I can’t even describe my excitement over her diving into […]
[Kodie’s Review] Aetherbound by E. K. Johnston
Pendt Harland’s family sees her as a waste of food on their long-haul space cruiser when her genes reveal an undesirable mutation. But if she plays her cards right she might have a chance to do much more than survive. During a space-station layover, Pendt escapes and forms a lucky bond with the Brannick twins, the teenage heirs of the powerful family that owns the station.

[Gabrielle’s Reviews]: The Betrayals by Bridget Collins
So I’ve been sitting on The Betrayals by Bridget Collins for a while. Honestly, I have been conflicted about what to say. But if I had written this review immediately after reading, it would be a completely different review. But having spent some time ruminating on everything I read, I have a greater appreciation for […]
[Skye’s Review]: Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard
What a fun, action-packed start to a new trilogy! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up Realm Breaker. High fantasy, especially in YA, can be hit or miss. I hoped Realm Breaker would be a hit, but feared it would end up being a miss. Well, I can happily report that this […]
[Faiza’s Review] : The Nightborn (Stormbringer #2) by Isabel Cooper
This book had a strong prologue and introduced the main plot of the series but I had a hard time getting past the first 20% of the book. I felt like it dragged on a little, but after it the book picked up very fast. It follows the events of the first book in this […]
[Lisa’s Review:] The Crown of Gilded Bones (Blood and Ash #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
If you are debating whether or not to read this book, you must be new to the gang. In that case, please abort mission, clear your schedule (for the next seventy-two+ hours), get some coffee, put your hair in a bun and grab From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1). If you did read […]
[Faiza’s Review]: Witches Steeped in Gold (Witches Steeped in Gold #1) by Ciannon Smart
TRUST NO WITCH. “Unlike storms, trouble doesn’t give signs like rain, so we must always be ready for it.” Witches Steeped in Gold is a Jamaican based fantasy novel which follows two female witches, Ira and Jazmyne, who form an alliance in the name of revenge and power. “The quest for power is like a singular […]
