[Asis’ Review] The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

The hype of this book made me very nervous to start reading it in the first place, especially because I essentially knew nothing about it beyond the fact that it was basically an interview with a very famous fictional actress. I hadn’t gone into a book blind in a really long time since I’m always asking […]

[Stephanie’s Review:] A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson

Dowry of Blood is a novella in length, dark gothic vampiric romance story by S.T. Gibson. Before opening the book you are presented with an unforgettable macabre cover of a shrouded women surround by skeletons by the talent artist Marlowe Lune and that just the beginning of the feelings as they start their way in. […]

[Diane’s Review] Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell

Red, White & Royal Blue In Space!! I seriously LOVED this book! It was so cute and so sweet and filled my heart. But also, a bit like a murder mystery which I found quite fun! At some points I found myself getting frustrated with the lack of communication between Kiem and Jainan. I mean […]

[Skye’s Review]: Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell

As soon as I read the synopsis of this book, I was sold. It’s pitched as Red, White, and Royal Blue in space. Need I say more? Red, White and Royal Blue is one of my favorite books! I couldn’t wait to devour this book. Sigh Things didn’t go quite as I imagined. For the […]

[Skye’s Review:] Be Dazzled by Ryan La Sala

If you are looking for a book that will make you smile and laugh, you should read Be Dazzled. Be Dazzled is one of the most fun and cute books I’ve read in awhile. Raffy, our main character, is nothing short of spectacular. His cosplay skills are INCREDIBLE. I loved learning about his process for […]

[Skye’s Review]: Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

Calling all King Arthur fans, this book will be your newest obsession. I’ve come across a lot of interpretations of the legend of King Arthur, but this one is the most unique. I had a lot of fun reading this book, and I think you will too.  The main character of this book is Bree […]

[Skye’s Review:] The Silvered Serpents by Roshani Chokshi

Hi, my name is Skye, and I would absolutely die for all of the main characters in this book. I love these characters so freaking much. Roshani has done a tremendous job portraying each character’s distinct voice; you always know whose POV you’re reading. Their arcs in this book are beautiful. Seeing how each of […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

When I first read the synopsis, I immediately requested this one to review. Male on male, fake boyfriends and British humor – sign me up. But to be honest, I didn’t like it all that much. If I hadn’t had to review it and I’d believe in DNF’s, I probably would have put the book […]
