[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. […]

[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 […]
