Diversity at its best in this YA horror debut novel
Review of ‘The Haunting of the Antique Brooch’ by Hina Ansari This is so not the cozy young adult mystery I was expecting. It’s bona fide YA horror debut novel, complete with ghosts, demons, djinns, and a gorgeous and mysterious girl. Sixteen-year-old Roni and her friend Matty
A disturbing but fascinating lesbian debut novel
Review of ‘The Feasting Virgin’ by Georgia Kolias Who believes in virgin births nowadays? Well, Xeni, for one, who is not as crazy as she sounds. Or maybe she is, but she also has this poetic quality that makes you want to see beyond the crazy. Delusions, religion, magic, they’re all interpretations of what is […]
A promising lesbian debut novel set in the 90s
Review of ‘The Love Factor’ by Quinn Ivins I’ve been waiting for this book for what feels like forever. It’s a lesbian debut novel but Quinn Ivins has been entertaining me on social media and with her blog for months. The Love Factor is set in 1997 and 1998, which is both a while ago […]
A well-written lesbian action-romance book
Review of ‘Trust’ by Aprille Canniff An entertaining read. I have wanted to read this book for months. I really like stories about women in the military. This lesbian action-romance book is actually a debut for Canniff. I was surprised by that and thought that it was well written. I did think the book was […]

An enjoyable women loving women romance debut
Review of ‘Something to Talk about’ by Meryl Wilsner This was a sweet and enjoyable read. By accident, I seemed to have gotten into a roll of debut reads. This is my third debut in a row and not only is this Wilsner’s debut book, but this is also Berkley’s women loving women romance debut. […]
A good quality lesbian debut book
Review of ‘Begin Again’ by Kat Jackson This was a good quality lesbian debut book. I’m a fan of reading debut novels since I love finding new authors. Bella has a good track record with debut authors so I was excited to see what Jackson had to bring to the table. I’m happy to say […]
‘Heart of Gold’ is one of those special lesbian debut books
Review of ‘Heart of Gold’ by Luci Dreamer Now and again, someone suggests a debut book to me. Honestly, I feel both delight and a little trepidation because I don’t know what I might get in the bargain. To be fair, most are decent reads. But I think I’m like many in that I live […]
This lesbian fantasy romance book is epic in the best possible way
Review of ‘Aurora’s Angel’ by Emily Noon Wow! I’m almost at a loss of what to say because I’m worried I won’t do this book justice. I have wanted to read this book for a while. I had purchased it almost a year ago but never seemed to have enough time to read it. This […]
