[Lisa’s Review:] Storm and Fury (The Harbinger #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

There are not enough words to describe my feelings when my girl Hannah handed me an ARC for this one at 2019’s Apollycon. I spent my days running around the Hyatt Recency in Arlington and my nights reading Storm and Fury as fast as I possibly could. I loved the Dark Elements series and was […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: The Dark Tide by Alicia Jasinska

[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 […]
