Rachel Griffin has a gift. Her writing is more than atmospheric and descriptive; her prose transports you into the woods. She captures nature in its rawest, purest form. The setting is a character in itself. I can’t wait for her to write more books! Wild is the Witch is a story about Iris, an 18-year-old […]

[Skye’s Review:] Our Way Back to Always by Nina Moreno
This book was everything I wanted it to be and more! Our Way Back to Always is captivating from beginning to end; full of great tropes, swoon-worthy romance, and Latinx culture. This story was the perfect balance between romance, comedy, and grief. Nina Moreno really captured the various feelings of senior year: excitement, dread, worry, […]
[Skye’s Review]: Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard
What a fun, action-packed start to a new trilogy! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up Realm Breaker. High fantasy, especially in YA, can be hit or miss. I hoped Realm Breaker would be a hit, but feared it would end up being a miss. Well, I can happily report that this […]
[Skye’s Review:] The Bright & the Pale by Jessica Rubinkowski
For this book, I thought it would be best to make two lists to showcase my thoughts. Things I liked: –The mythology. I can’t wait to learn more about the Bright and Pale gods in the next book! I feel like we barely skimmed the surface of the mythology surrounding the gods in this book. […]

It’s 1893, war is on the horizon for those in the First American Kingdom. War, however, is the least of Claire Emerson’s worries. Her top priority is finding a way to […]
[Skye’s Review:] Love & Olives (Love and Gelato #3) by Jenna Evans Welch
I have been a fan of Jenna Evans Welch’s books since I read her debut, Love & Gelato. I absolutely adore that book and her second book, Love & Luck. So, it should come as no surprise that I feel the exact same way about Love & Olives. Jenna Evans Welch knows how to write […]
[Portia’s Review] Sanctum (Blackwater Pack #1) by Hannah McBride
Let me step right out and explain that I don’t have a deep well of shifter/werewolf genre knowledge to draw from. I have found very few urban fantasy or other style shifter books that I could get into. So I went into this a little bit nervous, because I wanted nothing more than to enjoy […]
[Skye’s Review]: Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar
Star Daughter felt unique and different from most books that have been published recently. It showcases how amazing Hindu mythology is, and it has a diverse cast of characters. I love that publishers are publishing diverse books. We need more representation in publishing, and this book is a step in the right direction. It gives […]
