A quick and enjoyable story about two very different people
Review of Lost in Love by Emily Banting Anna is a 30-something researcher that has had to upend her life to move back to her small English hometown to take care of her ailing father. She has no trust in doctors after her experience with them when her mother was dying. So it is no […]
A short but promising ghost story
Review of ‘Harrington House’ by J.P. Noether This story feels like a teaser for something. It efficiently sets the scene but it’s way too short to be satisfying. Laren is a promising MC. She’s just out of what sounds like an emotionally abusive relationship, which left her insecure on many levels. She’s an artist and […]
This was by far my least favorite of the series
Review of The Hellion’s Waltz by Olivia Waite I’m a big fan of the Feminine Pursuits series and was excited to read this third installment. While I did like it, I’m sorry to say that it was by far my least favorite of the series. This was a pandemic book and while I give authors […]
The writing was good but the story was lacking
Review of Queen of All by Anya Leigh Josephs This was just okay. The writing was good but the story was lacking. I love sapphic, YA fantasy, but unfortunately, this wasn’t the book I was hoping for. While this was disappointing, I did see some clear potential in the writing. Since this is the start […]
This wasn’t really my kind of book
Review of Old Love by Nancy J. Hedin I thought this was okay but it wasn’t really my kind of book. While I’m a cozy mystery fan, this book had this quirky edge that never really fit right for me. I think the book had some good ideas, but the execution just kept feeling a […]
A mix of apocalyptic, dystopian, cli-fi, fantasy, and YA book
Review of Girls at the Edge of the World by Laura Brooke Robson A very good premise, but the book as a whole didn’t all come together for me. This book was a really interesting mix of apocalyptic, dystopian, cli-fi, fantasy, and YA. When you throw in sapphic characters… well let’s just say this was […]
This series was not for my personal tastes
Review of Death’s Champion by Karen Frost First I want to thank YLVA for publishing this fantasy series. YLVA does not normally publish epic fantasy stories so I was really happy to see that they did publish this and I hope they will publish many more fantasy stories to come. We need all the WLW […]
A well written book but I just didn’t really connect with it
Review of Cure for Insomnia by Laina Villeneuve A well written book but I just didn’t really connect with it. This is my fifth book by Villeneuve and while I like her writing style, for some reason I could not get into this story. I was excited for diverse characters with STEM jobs, but I […]
This was not a book for me, but it was still well written
Review of Tracing Invisible Threads by C. Fonseca This was a well-written book that unfortunately did not connect to my personal tastes. I’ve had some bad luck lately where I have been reading books where the author was clearly talented, had written well-written books, but they just were not the type of books that I […]
