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 […]
[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 […]
