[Caitlyn’s Review]: Anne of Manhattan by Brina Starler

Way back in March 2020, when the pandemic first began and we all turned inside using books and binge watching to escape the looming doom of a global health crisis, I became slightly obsessed with tracking the hashtags #SaveAnnewithanE and #RenewAnnewithanE. Seriously, Netflix could not post a single promo for Tiger King or Ozark without […]

[Rachel’s Review]: Foul is Fair by Hannah Capin

[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, […]

[Rachel’s Review]: Lifestyles of Gods and Monsters by Emily Roberson

This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and I literally squealed when I got my hands on it. I am a HUGE fan of Greek Mythology and the story of Ariadne and the Minotaur has always fascinated me. The myth alone is wild y’all we’ve got: A woman in love with […]
