Furious Heaven (The Sun Chronicles #2) by Kate Elliott, narrated by Natalie Naudus

Epic Space Adventure! I listened to the almost 32-hour-long audiobook of Furious Heaven (The Sun Chronicles #2) by Kate Elliott, narrated by Natalie Naudus and thought it was great! This is the sequel to Unconquerable Sun. The series is a gender-swapped Alexander the Great in space where all of the important characters are strong and […]
Unconquerable Sun (The Sun Chronicles #1) by Kate Elliott, narrated by Natalie Naudus

Fun and Fast-Paced Space Opera! I listened again to the audiobook of Unconquerable Sun by Kate Elliott to prepare for the release of the sequel, Furious Heaven and I loved it just as much the second time around. The story is voiced by one of my favorite narrators Natalie Naudus and she does such a […]
A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon

A Beautifully Written and Sweeping Epic Fantasy I really enjoyed the beautifully written 865-page epic fantasy A Day of Fallen Night (The Roots of Chaos #0) by Samantha Shannon. This is the new prequel to The Priory of the Orange Tree. I loved The Priory of the Orange Tree, but it took me at least […]
Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick, narrated by Natalie Naudus

Emotional Ride! I loved the new release Forget Me Not written by Alyson Derrick and beautifully narrated by Natalie Naudus. I had pre-ordered the audio because I enjoyed the last book (She Gets the Girl) that Alyson Derrick co-wrote with her wife Rachael Lippincott. Forget Me Not is a sapphic YA romance about two 18 […]
A Pirate’s Life for Tea (Tomes & Tea Cozy Fantasies #2) by Rebecca Thorne

Fun Cozy Fantasy! I loved A Pirate’s Life for Tea by Rebecca Thorne – this is the sequel to the first book in the series Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea. The author Rebecca Thorne has described these stories as “cozy fantasies with higher stakes”. There is more action and adventure than a typical cozy fantasy, but […]
6 Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did) by Tess Sharpe

Emotional Read! I loved the new YA romance 6 Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did) by Tess Sharpe. I have had it on my radar since I read and loved Sharpe’s last novel the YA sapphic thriller The Girls I’ve Been. Her previous book dealt with very serious issues, but was also […]
I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself by Marisa Crane

Interesting and Unique Dystopian Tale I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself by Marisa Crane is a very good speculative fiction debut that is a mix of 1984 and The Scarlett Letter with embedded political commentary about the surveillance state, censorship, and surviving under a right-wing regime. The book is very queer, character-driven, and a highly […]
Last Chance Chicago by Diana DiGangi

Excellent new debut! I usually don’t gravitate towards debuts, but this particular genre interested me so I took a chance on a brand new release and I loved it. Last Chance Chicago by Diana DiGangi is such a good book! This is a very well written and smart financial thriller with so much heart. The […]
