This is the first book I ever read of Becca’s and I love it just as much now as the day I read it. Even here you can see how she was already the queen of worldbuilding. The two kingdoms we found ourselves in are so well built, so different, and full of places I […]

[Skye’s Post]: The Scarlet Alchemist (The Scarlet Alchemist #1) by Kylie Lee Baker
Wow. That’s all I can say. WOW. Kylie Lee Baker just did that. She really just wrote one of my favorite books of 2023. Set in a world where gold and immortality reign supreme, The Scarlet Alchemist is a YA historical fantasy set in an alternate version of China during the Tang Dynasty. Zilan practices […]
[Skye’s Review]: Night of the Witch by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis
Night of the Witch seemed right up my alley. The book’s synopsis promises witches and an enemies to lovers romance. SOLD. It practically had my name written on it. Sadly, I have to report that I did not finish this book. No one is more heartbroken than me about this news. I was so excited […]
[Skye’s Review:] The Drowned Woods by Emily Lloyd-Jones
It’s hard to beat a good heist–especially when the crew is a ragtag group of misfits. Throw in some Welch mythology, and you have The Drowned Woods! This was the first book I’ve read with Welch mythology, and I loved it! Now, I need all of the Welch mythology books. Someone send me some recommendations. […]
[Skye’s Review:] Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin
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:] Blade Breaker by Victoria Aveyard
I’m not sure where to start. In fact, I’m not sure how I feel about this book yet. I expected more from Blade Breaker than it delivered. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a bad book by any means. It’s a good book; it’s just not a great book. It’s not a book that will […]
[Skye’s Review:] A Forgery of Roses by Jessica S. Olson
A Forgery of Roses is a story rich in sisterhood, magic, and mystery. If you’re looking for a book with a unique magic system, look no further. Our main character, Myra, is a prodigy which means she can heal through her paintings. However, being a prodigy means a life of hiding. As usual, when there […]
[Skye’s Review]: Edgewood by Kristen Ciccarelli
Edgewood is the type of story that grows on you. It quietly thrusts its roots in you from the very first page, maintaining a solid, invisible grip on you that you don’t feel until it’s too late. Before you know it, you find yourself halfway through the book with no desire to stop reading. This […]
