This is a different and super addictive series
Review of Stitches and Sepsis by Liz Faraim This series is so hard to explain. At times I didn’t even know if I liked the book but it was like a car wreck; I couldn’t stop looking at (reading) it. I ended up staying up until 3 am because I could not stop reading. While […]
This was a lot of fun and really well done
Review of Gretel on Her Own by Elna Holst I had high hopes for this and it didn’t disappoint. If you follow my reviews you probably have heard about how much I enjoy retellings of fairytales, fables, and legends. But what I really love is when an author writes a “what happens after”. I love […]
A well written book but I just didn’t really connect with it
Review of Cure for Insomnia by Laina Villeneuve A well written book but I just didn’t really connect with it. This is my fifth book by Villeneuve and while I like her writing style, for some reason I could not get into this story. I was excited for diverse characters with STEM jobs, but I […]
A crazy but entertaining read
Review of Buried by Lizzie Strong This was pretty crazy. If you have read my reviews this year you might notice that I have been complaining about reading a lot of well written books, but I’m just not connecting with them. Funny enough, the opposite was true with this book. Now, I don’t mean that […]
A good retelling story based on a Russian folktale
Review of These Feathered Flames by Alexandra Overy This was a good read. It had a few bumps but it was well written, especially for a debut. While I know a few Russian folktales, I knew nothing about this one besides The Firebird name. I can’t say how close this was to the original tale, […]
This was actually better than I expected and a real solid debut
Review of The Facts and Legends of Callie Catwell by Sophia DeRise This was a well-written YA novel. This was actually better than I expected and a real solid debut for DeRise. This is the kind of book I wished would have been around when I was a kid. This book takes on some serious […]
An interesting mix that reminded me of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella
Review of Malice by Heather Walter This was a quality book that I loved in some parts but struggled with some others. I just adore fairytale retellings, especially if they are sapphic. This was a book that I was dying to read and I had a lot of high expectations for it. In the end, […]
Bring on the Noyes!
Review of Pas de Deux by EJ Noyes I have so many books to read and review lately that I have been feeling a bit behind. I’m trying to stick to a strict schedule of what I read and when, so hopefully I can feel more caught up. But then I’m given an early copy […]
This was not a book for me, but it was still well written
Review of Tracing Invisible Threads by C. Fonseca This was a well-written book that unfortunately did not connect to my personal tastes. I’ve had some bad luck lately where I have been reading books where the author was clearly talented, had written well-written books, but they just were not the type of books that I […]
