This is my favorite book of 2020. I know I have raved about Claire Contreras before, and I am here to do it again. This time, in her newest novel, she went for a new-to-her genre: Gothic Romance. Which I happen to be OBSESSED with, so my excitement was through the roof. And let me […]

[Asis’ Review] INSTANT KARMA by Marissa Meyer
I have wanted to read this book ever since I found out about it. I adore Marissa’s writing and that is no secret, it’s completely immersive and beautiful, and once I start it is hard to stop. That was no different in this book. I don’t want to make this statement because it’s been a […]
[Skye’s Review]: Among the Beasts and Briars by Ashley Poston
Among the Beasts and Briars is a fun, light-hearted, fantasy book that reads like a fairytale. It has magic, a cursed forest, and animal companions that may be more than they appear at first glance. This book is perfect if you want a light fantasy book. The writing and world-building in this book are much […]
[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 […]
[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 […]
[Rachel’s Review]: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
I finished this book two weeks ago and I still cannot stop thinking about it. I wasn’t a fan of Gods of Jade and Shadow by the same author so I almost didn’t pick up this book but DANG AM I GLAD I DID! The first 60 or so pages are a little slow, but […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: The Dark Tide by Alicia Jasinska
I like to think Alicia Jasinska read Beauty and the Beast and thought: let’s make our beast a QUEEN and let’s make it dark. And I was totally and completely about it. This book focuses on two POVs: Lina Kirk and Queen Eva and they each have something to prove. The dynamic between Lina and […]
[Skye’s Review]: Bone Crier’s Moon by Kathryn Purdie
I was super excited to read Bone Crier’s Moon. I love the premise: the Bone Criers are essentially sirens that ferry the dead. To be able to ferry the dead, a leuress (what the Bone Crier’s call themselves) must undergo a ritual where she finds her amouré, her soulmate, and kills him. By killing him, […]
