[Diane’s Review]: The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin

I’ll just start off by saying this is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read in every aspect. From the poetic atmospheric language to the sheer beauty of this story I was truly invested. Rachel has a talent with bringing the seasons to life, their very essence seeping from the pages and into […]

[Faiza’s Review] : The Nightborn (Stormbringer #2) by Isabel Cooper

This book had a strong prologue and introduced the main plot of the series but I had a hard time getting past the first 20% of the book. I felt like it dragged on a little, but after it the book picked up very fast. It follows the events of the first book in this […]

[Gabrielle’s Review]: Witches Steeped in Gold (Witches Steeped in Gold #1) by Ciannon Smart

Can I say, this book was a love triangle of betrayals. The book was magical and Smart has an absolutely lovely way with words. Before I dive into my thoughts, one thing I want to mention is that if you have trouble following time jumps without labels, this book may be challenging at times, as […]

[Diane’s Review]: Down Comes the Night by Allison Saft

While my expectations were high going into this book, I was rather disappointed. I found a lot of myself in Wren, especially when it came to the empathy of others, but there was something about her character that lacked a compelling need to care about her outcome. Also, a lot of medical terminology is used, […]
