[Bre’s Review] Blog Tour + Giveaway: Beyond the Shadowed Earth by Joanna Ruth Meyer
“One must always take care when treating with gods,” said her father. “It might not be worth the risk.” If you’re in the mood for a YA fantasy with great world building, this is the book for you. And while it’s set in the same world as a previous book, I felt like I understood […]

“Because it’s what I am. Not a Paper Girl anymore, just ‘girl’–almost a caste of its own.

Witches. France/French/Francophile. Enemies-to-Lovers. There are others of course (dragons come to mind), but needless to say, all I […]
[Kaye’s Review]: A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
A Curse So Dark And Lonely was a breath of fresh air from many books I have read recently. The pacing of the book was very well done leaving me to easily pick up where I left off with no questions. The writing style let me read quickly with no complicated wording and mystery that, […]
