[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 […]

[Victoria’s Review]: Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin

There are a few key words that, whenever I see them combined to describe a new or new-to-me book, automatically guarantees that that book shall shoot straight to the top of my TBR or Most Anticipated Lists. Witches. France/French/Francophile. Enemies-to-Lovers. There are others of course (dragons come to mind), but needless to say, all I […]

[Bre’s Review]: War of Hearts of S. Young

“…you’ll come across more bad things this world has to offer. But don’t ever forget that there’s love and kindness in this world too.” I finished this book this morning and I already want to re-read it. I loved every part of Thea and Conall’s story. They were so strong apart, but once together they […]

[Victoria’s Review]: The Blacksmith Queen by G.A. Aiken

This story had all the elements that made me sit up and pay attention – warrior women, centaurs, witches, magic, Game of Thrones level of plotting and backstabbing… And yet…I don’t know what it was about this book, but it just really didn’t vibe with me. There were elements that I really enjoyed, which I’ll […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin

Now, can I just say. . . . . This book, I can’t even begin to describe in the appropriate words how much I LOVED this entire narrative and plot and characters and everything. Just, everything. One word does come to mind though and that is: GRAY Let me explain. The world or storytelling isn’t […]

[Asis’ Review] Loki: Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee

The quotes used on this Review were taken from the ARC and may change after publication. I came into this book not really knowing what to expect, I haven’t really read any comics but I do love the MCU and was hopeful for what this book would bring us. I really appreciated the way Loki […]
