[Bre’s Review] Blog Tour + Giveaway: The Queen’s Assassin

“All the answers you seek are there, but only if you are willing to hear them.” The Queen’s Assassin is reminiscent of the old school YA that I remember from many late nights of reading. It has all the elements of an intriguing fantasy including assassins, romance, and political intrigue.  I will admit that I […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw

Winterwood is a hauntingly beautiful story, about a young girl, her magical heritage, dark woods full of lost things, and the boy she found in said woods on the one night a month the trees don’t see everything. “But tonight I walk without her, chasing that same moon up the same dark, frozen river – […]

[Bre’s Review] Blog Tour + Giveaway: Beyond the Shadowed Earth by Joanna Ruth Meyer

“One must always take care when treating with gods,” said her father. “It might not be worth the risk.” If you’re in the mood for a YA fantasy with great world building, this is the book for you. And while it’s set in the same world as a previous book, I felt like I understood […]

[Skye’s Review]: Girls of Storm and Shadow by Natasha Ngan

“Because it’s what I am. Not a Paper Girl anymore, just ‘girl’–almost a caste of its own. An oppressed caste, yes, but one braver and bolder and capable of more brilliance than any other in this world.” This book explores two main concepts: the effects of trauma and doing horrible things in the name of […]

[Lisa’s Review]: The Blacksmith Queen by G. A. Aiken

So here’s the thing: when I first read the synopsis for this book I was so damn excited to read it. Strong female characters, magic, kilt-wearing warriors, backstabbing, prophecies, and war. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a new high fantasy series, right? And yet, this one didn’t do it for me at all. The […]

[Bre’s Review]: Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo

“Trust no one, betray everyone.Kill or be killed, always.” This book has been compared to Six of Crows. And while they are both about a group of kids going on a mission, the resemblance stops there. This book isn’t about a group of misfit friends. I would call them a gang of acquaintances at best […]

[Victoria’s Review]: Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin

There are a few key words that, whenever I see them combined to describe a new or new-to-me book, automatically guarantees that that book shall shoot straight to the top of my TBR or Most Anticipated Lists. Witches. France/French/Francophile. Enemies-to-Lovers. There are others of course (dragons come to mind), but needless to say, all I […]
