I love the warm feeling that the holidays bring. Seeing that this book would revolve around Christmas, I knew it was a must read and I was excited to read about these best friends. Nick and Noel embodied the warm feeling of love and comfort that every Hallmark Christmas movie captures. Their dialogue and complete […]

[Diane’s Review]: The Last Legacy by Adrienne Young
Back to Bastian we go! Adrienne has ushered us back to Bastian with a protagonist so clever and cunning I couldn’t put this book down! I have always had a deep love for Adrienne’s strong female characters and Bryn Roth is no exception. She is a fierce, intelligent chameleon, able to meld herself into whatever […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon
After reading Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon, I knew that I was going to love this book—and I was correct!! Rachel Lynn Solomon has this unique way of writing stories and characters that I immediately fall in love with, and that is exactly what happened with Quinn and Tarek. I connected with Quinn […]

[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]: The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake
Friends, saying this book took me by surprise would be an understatement. It’s been a while since I’ve read such a thought-provoking book. This book truly makes you think and feel. The Last True Poets of the Sea centers itself around darker, emotional themes such as grief, loss, pain, confusion, and fear of the unknown. […]
[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 […]
