No Strings by Lucy Bexley
Jones’ father just died and her life is upside down. Instead of flying back to L.A. promptly, as she’d planned, she’s stuck in New York, as the acting CEO of her father’s media company and acting guardian of her six-year-old brother, whose mother disappeared as soon as the funeral was over. At least it… See Jude’s review
Girl Island by Kate Castle
Ellery, British under-18th heptathlon champion, is still grieving her father’s death when she joins her new classmates at the prestigious King’s Academy for a PE trip to an island in the Indian Ocean. Other than all of them being athletes, Ellery has nothing in common with the other teenagers, except maybe one, Skye, whom she… See Jude’s review
Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake
I loved this. This is exactly the type of romance I want to read and I could not be happier. While I have never read Blake before, I have a few of her YA books sitting on my Kindle waiting to be read, so when I saw she wrote a sapphic adult romance, I just… See Lex’s review
D’Vaughn and Chris Plan a Wedding by Chencia C. Higgins
D’Vaughn hopes being on the show will help her come out to her family, Kris hopes to find true love.

If I Were a Weapon by Skye Kilaen
The premise is really cool. A dying alien race, landed on earth, and sprinkled a bunch of nanites on people who were in close proximity to where their ships touched down. The nanites have given some people different powers, but no one knows what they all mean because all the aliens died as soon as they made it to… See Lex’s review
The Forever and The Now by KJ
KJ tells stories about life with all the ups and downs that reality offers us. Sometimes life is not easy and isn’t particularly fair. That’s when we ask ourselves, why me? There are many tragedies happening all the time, but when it hits… See Sandra’s review
In the Shadow of Love by J. E. Leak
There’s not a lot of action in this book but that’s not what it’s about. We get to know the main characters better, as well as Kat’s shadow, Smitty, and learn about their motivations. The pace is slow but never boring, as the author takes her time to… See Jude’s review

Zero Chill by Carolyn Elizabeth, narrated by Lori Prince
Thayer and Corey are one of my favourite lesfic couples ever. Having read more than 700 lesfic books (at least, as I lost count of some) that tells a lot. Seriously, they manage to be sweet, hot, funny, imperfect, and vulnerable, and together they have this… See Gaby’s review
Ardulum: The Battle for Pruitcu by J.S. Fields, narrated by Lynn Norris
This is both the fifth Ardulum book and the first in a new trilogy. I guess it can be read as a standalone but honestly, I wouldn’t. You probably can enjoy this book on some level even without knowing the characters and the universe it’s set in, but you’d miss…See Jude’s review

Ophelia After All by Raquel Marie, narrated by Maria Liatis
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… See Jude’s review

The Delicate Things we Make by Milena McKay, narrated by Abby Craden
I have a lot of love and tenderness for this book. There’s something about it that speaks of a new era and gives me hope. I won’t repeat what I wrote in my original review, I still agree with myself – which isn’t always the case. It’s been a really interesting experience, listening to it now, a little over a year after it… See Jude’s review
