[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 […]
[Blog Tour] [Portia’s Review]: Mayhem by Estelle Laure
HMM. This one is hard to review. Tagged as a feminist mash-up of The Lost Boys and The Craft, I knew I had to read this. Those are two of my favorite cult classics. And it turns out its easy too see the resemblances…. Wayyyyyy to easy. Like, identical in many ways to The Lost […]
[Diana’s Review]: Ruthless Gods by Emily Duncan

[Rachel’s Review]: The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
I am still really struggling to determine my feelings on this one. Overall I enjoyed The Grace Year and would recommend it to fans of the Handmaid’s Tale and Lord of the Flies. I thought some parts of this were really strong and I liked the world-building, however, it was not clear how quickly time […]
[Lisa’s Review]: The Girl the Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young
What drew me in about this book was for one the absolutely gorgeous cover, and then, of course, a girl with mysterious markings and abilities, gods, fate, and war? Count me in. I was beyond excited about the opportunity to read it. With the Girl the Sea Gave Back New York Times bestselling author Adrienne […]
