During the summers, the town opens its gates to the public and tourists searching for answers or salvation. In this town, things don’t simply happen.

[Skye’s Review]: Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar

Star Daughter felt unique and different from most books that have been published recently. It showcases how amazing Hindu mythology is, and it has a diverse cast of characters. I love that publishers are publishing diverse books. We need more representation in publishing, and this book is a step in the right direction. It gives […]

[Lisa’s Review:] Set Fire to the Gods (Set Fire to the Gods #1) by Sara Raasch & Kristen Simmons

Gladiator meets the Last Airbender. Sarah Raasch & Kristen Simmon’s Set Fire to the Gods is a solid start into their eponymous new young adult fantasy series, in which gladiators settle wars between their gods in arena fights with elemental magic. The sort of ancient greek slash roman world-building drew me in from the get-go. […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston

This is the third book in Ashley Poston’s Once Upon a Con series, and I was so excited to see that it was a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast! This book revolves around Rosie Thorne, who is grieving her mother’s death and trying her best to navigate a new reality in her absence. […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

This book brought the drama and steamy romance on a level that I wish more books did, and I was completely about it. Jasmine Lin Rodriguez is reeling from a messy break up that has gone public, putting her in a spotlight she desperately does not need. Gorgeous telenovela star Ashton Suárez fears his acting […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: “Today Tonight Tomorrow” by Rachel Lynn Solomon

To start off, I have to say that this book has become one of my top 3 reads of not only 2020 but pretty much of all time! I read this book in a span of hours and finished it around five in the morning and was so giddy that I could not fall asleep. […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu

Every once in a while, we stumble over a book that holds all the promise in the world; cursed princesses, witches, and an impossible task, and yet for some reason, we don’t connect with the story or the characters at all. Unfortunately, this exactly what happened to me with this book. While the idea behind […]

[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 […]
