She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott & Alyson Derrick
This was a lovely read This book reminded me of all the teenage rom-com movies I watched as a teenager, in the late 90s, except that the mains in this book are queer. I would have killed for a movie like this growing up in that time period. Anyway, the blurb mentions how this had […]
Ophelia After All by Racquel Marie
This YA book was a great read 4.50 Stars. This book! While I go into every book hopeful, this book was much better than I ever expected. I just had one of my worst book slumps in over a decade and this was the book that played a big role in getting me out of […]
Gray Matters by Dolores Arden, narrated by Melissa Moran
A very promising debut novel I’ve wanted to listen to something different this week but still with some romance on the side. A story about a relationship between a cop and a forensic analyst while searching for a serial killer was exactly what I was looking for. Remy Devereux is a homicide detective with the San […]
Ophelia After All by Racquel Marie, narrated by Maria Liatis
A delightful and heartwarming YA debut I went into this book hoping I’d enjoy it. I didn’t expect to love it this much. I do not know whether it’s perfect and I really don’t care if it isn’t. I love what it made me feel. I love the characters. I super love Ophelia, how could […]
Bluebird by Ciel Pierlot
A very exciting space opera debut I was very impatient to read this book because, well, “lesbian gunslinger fights spies in space!” And it has everything I was hoping for and more: spaceships, rebels, forbidden love, horrible villains, flawed heroines who kick ass… In a universe in which three factions are at war, two stories […]
The Ghost’s Host by Cathleen Collins
A lot of humour mixed in with a pretty pissed-off poltergeist Ghost Lite. A lot of humour mixed in with a pretty pissed-off poltergeist. Reminded me of Lila Bruce’s Chasing Shadows not because the books are similar in any way, more because this is not a scary, horror-filled novella, more it’s a humorous look at […]
Walk Between Worlds by Samara Breger
A good fantasy debut with all sorts of twists I’ve been trying to decide where to start with this review and I’m still not sure, so I’ll start with what matters most: I liked this book a lot. It’s a debut and I’m very much looking forward to the author’s future stories. I usually try […]
To Break a Covenant by Alison Ames
Read this book with the lights on! Now, this is a horror book! I’m taking another quick ARC break, to try to get in as many Halloween books as I can, and I was ready for something scary. YA horror is pretty popular right now, which I love, but I’ve found a lot of the […]
An exciting YA sci-fi debut with a bisexual love triangle
Review of ‘City of Shattered Light’ by Claire Winn City of Shattered Light is Claire Winn’s debut novel, a pretty exciting and promising debut. It’s longer than many books I’ve read lately but I read it in a couple of days, I didn’t want to put it down. Asanna Almeida is the heir to her […]
