[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 […]

[Caitlyn’s review]: Daughter of Sparta (Daughter of Sparta #1) by Claire M. Andrews

Where this past winter was all about Russian folklore (with new reads like The Bright & the Pale by Jessica Rubinowski, old favorites like The Winternight Triology by Katharine Arden, and books that are getting well deserved attention like Leigh Bardugo’s Grisha-verse), then I’m proclaiming this summer all about Greek mythology! For me, great Greek […]

[Skye’s Review]: Blood like Magic by Liselle Sambury

I was super excited to read this book. Everything about this book seemed right up my alley. This book has witches and the main character faces an impossible task: she has to kill her first love. Sounds great, right? Sadly, I could tell immediately that this book wasn’t for me. The author’s writing style didn’t […]

[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 […]

[Diane’s Review:] A Dark and Hollow Star (A Dark and Hollow Star #1) by Ashley Shuttleworth

QUEER BOOK OF THE YEAR! ALSO I NOW LIVE IN THE UNSEELIE SPRING COURT! Where to even begin?! I mean, that’s obvious, so without further ado… From the top! Ashley kicks this book off with a killer Prologue. Normally I find myself slipping during these drawling bits of info dumping, but not theirs. I was […]

Attention all YA Fantasy fans, The Prison Healer is a book that needs to be on your radar. This debut is chock full of lovable characters along with an intense, anxiety-inducing plot and setting.

[Skye’s Review]: The Infinity Courts by Akemi Dawn Bowman

Wow. This book needs to be on everyone’s radar. The Infinity Courts is unlike any book I’ve ever read. The concept is so freaking cool. Imagine the afterlife is a place created by humanity’s consciousness, a place called Infinity. However, Infinity isn’t the paradise we’ve all daydreamed and wondered about. Infinity has been taken over […]
