The Flight Risk by Macon Leigh
Macon Leigh’s writing is free and sharp, tough yet tender, like the MC of this book Sometimes, you’ve barely started reading a story and you know it’s going to be good. The kind of good that makes you want to swear because it’s so fucking good. The kind of good that makes you have to […]
Homebodies by Tembe Denton-Hurst, narrated by Marcella Cox
A very powerful debut As is too often the case (why?), the synopsis gives too much away, so do yourself a favour and don’t read it. Or forget it. Because if you expect it to be only the start of the story, you’ll be disappointed, the main events are all there. On the surface, Mickey […]
Yerba Buena by Nina LaCour, narrated by Julia Whelan
An emotional debut adult novel by a well-known YA author Don’t go into this book expecting a romance novel. While there’s a romantic arc, Yerba Buena is more about finding oneself than finding true love, even if that too is part of the journey. As a consequence, the MCs don’t spend that much time on […]
A strong sophomore book for Munir
Review of A Period of unCertainty by Sheryn Munir This was a good read. When I saw the name Sheryn Munir, I knew I had read her before but just didn’t really remember. I finally realized that I had read her debut when she was with another publisher, about three years ago. I remember it […]

I will remember these characters for a long time
Review of Skye Falling by Mia McKenzie This was a good read. It took me a little while to get into the book -more on that later- but once I did, I was hooked. My plan was to read half the book one night but I read it all in one sitting since I was […]
An atypical story by Gerri Hill
Review of The Cottage by Gerri Hill, Audiobook narrated by Abby Craden Gerri Hill has such an extensive back catalogue that she’s often releasing new audiobooks to the glee of her readers. Bonus points for choosing narrator Abby Craden for many of them, such as in this case. Unfortunately, I cannot say that I enjoy […]
Honey Girl was on my list for the most anticipated books of 2021
Review of Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers This book! Honey Girl was on my list for the most anticipated books of 2021. When I found out I was accepted for a review copy, I could not have been happier. I went into this book with a lot of high expectations and I’m happy to say […]
I don’t think that this book was for me
Review of We Play Ourselves by Jen Silverman This was interesting. In the end, I don’t think that this book was for me, but I did really like the author’s writing style. The way Silverman writes got me through a book that I might have really struggled with otherwise. The book I reviewed right before […]
