[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 […]

[Portia’s Review]:Little White Lies (Debutantes #1) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I was a big believer in absolute honesty: say what you mean, mean what you say, and don’t ask a question if you don’t want to know the answer. Buckle up, ya’ll because this review may be long winded. I will honestly say that when I first got this ARC last year, I wasn’t entirely […]
[Skye’s Review]: The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake
Friends, saying this book took me by surprise would be an understatement. It’s been a while since I’ve read such a thought-provoking book. This book truly makes you think and feel. The Last True Poets of the Sea centers itself around darker, emotional themes such as grief, loss, pain, confusion, and fear of the unknown. […]
