“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 […]
Romance
[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 […]
[Marie’s Review]: The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams
I read The Bromance Book Club as a palate cleanser while reading some very emotionally intense stories at the same time. A professional baseball player who turns to a secret book club consisting of other alpha males who read romance novels to revive their marriages is such a fun and refreshing concept, especially among romance […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: Where I End and You Begin by Preston Norton

In one book, Devney gives us murder and secrets alongside family and loyalty. What else could you want? I’ve been waiting for […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren
Whenever the name Christina Lauren shows up our available ARC’s list, I request the book – no hesitation. Their particular brand of romance simply clicks with me, and let me tell you this one might be my favorite Christina Lauren book yet. Twice in a Blue Moon is a beautifully written, well-paced second chance romance, […]
Half Truths by Claire Contreras
Actual footage of me when Claire announced a book with Secret Societies: I know I go on and on about how amazing Claire Contreras is every time she release a new book, and I’m not going to stop now. I was SO FREAKING EXCITED to get my hands on this, and once I had it […]
[Bre’s Review]: Broken Knight by L.J. Shen
“We break things all the time. It’s called life. If you don’t break, you don’t live. You don’t move. You don’t try. You don’t take chances. Breaking is a part of living.” If you follow me you know that I love small town romances where the guy is at the right place at the right […]
