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 […]

[Diane’s Review]: The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout
THIS BOOK WAS A RIDE SENT STRAIGHT FROM THE HEAVENS! JLA has done it again with The Crown of Gilded Bones! From the first line we’re thrown back into the depths of Atlantia and the intensity that is Poppy’s life. After chapter one I was certain this was going to be a five star read. […]
[Gabrielle’s Review]: Witches Steeped in Gold (Witches Steeped in Gold #1) by Ciannon Smart
Can I say, this book was a love triangle of betrayals. The book was magical and Smart has an absolutely lovely way with words. Before I dive into my thoughts, one thing I want to mention is that if you have trouble following time jumps without labels, this book may be challenging at times, as […]
[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 […]
