Where this past winter was all about Russian folklore (with new reads like The Bright & the Pale by Jessica Rubinowski, old favorites like The Winternight Triology by Katharine Arden, and books that are getting well deserved attention like Leigh Bardugo’s Grisha-verse), then I’m proclaiming this summer all about Greek mythology! For me, great Greek […]

[Diana’s Review]: Daughter of Sparta (Daughter of Sparta #1) by Claire M. Andrews
“The gods are envious of us. They will never understand the beauty of watching the day pass and knowing that it could perhaps be your last. They will never experience the bitter taste of fear as it floods your senses, or the sometimes bittersweet ache of pain.” I have a weakness for gorgeous covers and […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Elixir (Covenant 3.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Elixir is a Covenant Novella from Aiden’s perspective, bridging the third and fourth books in the series, Deity and Apollyon. If you have not read Deity yet, do not read this review. If you’re like me and have been dying for scenes in Aiden’s point of view since the very beginning, this one is the […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Deity (Covenant #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Wow. I don’t even know where to start with this one. It’s one of my favorite books in this series, and my reread totally reminded me why. Also, this review contains spoilers for the first and second book in the series, Half-Blood, and Pure. Make sure you’re up to date before reading this review. After […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Pure (Covenant #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
It’s been years since I read this series, but like the first time, once you start, there’s no stopping. I finished Half-Blood, closed the book, and then grabbed this one. Jen has an unmatched ability to capture me with her writing, time, and time again. I’ve never tried to put my feelings about this series […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Half-Blood (Covenant #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I’m currently re-reading this series, and I’m only now getting around to writing this down, but here’s what I remember from the day I stumbled over this series: I remember reading the synopsis for this book, thinking, holy crap, I have to read this right freaking now. Greek mythology, badass female warrior, and romance that […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Seasons of the Storm (Seasons of the Storm #1) by Elle Cosimano
Seasons of the Storm is a unique, exciting, and action-packed tale about personified seasons, starcrossed lovers, and the power of friendship. I went into this book knowing the bare minimum but loved the idea of personified seasons, and each respective season killing their predecessor each year form the get-go. Throw forbidden romance in there, and […]
