Blood Rituals (Boston Preternatural Investigations Unit, Book 1) by Aoibh Wood, narrated by Abby Craden
A complex and thrilling debut I usually find out about new books and new authors through fellow reviewers and readers. This one, however, came to my attention when Abby Craden tweeted about it. It’s a debut, another very exciting and promising debut. Cait Reagan is a police detective working on a gruesome murder. Her boyfriend […]
The Veracity of Lies by Anna Woiwood
A difficult but captivating story This is a hard book to read. It’s often discouraging and tragic. It’s also very good. I’ll start with content warnings so you can decide if you’re up to it. There’s a lot of abuse of all sorts: drugs and alcohol, abuse of power, men over women, sexual and emotional. […]
Something’s Different by Quinn Ivins, narrated by Anastasia Watley
An original premise I liked this book’s premise of identical twins switching places in the workplace. As I love Quinn Ivins’s writing, I set aside everything to read this book. Even though I enjoyed it, it didn’t live up to my expectations. Caitlyn Taylor is an unemployed academic who comes home after finishing her PhD […]
Reflector by C.X. Myers
A breathtaking debut novel Reflector is everything I like in fantasy, more specifically in urban fantasy (my favourite kind of fantasy). Great worldbuilding, fantastic characters, magic, elves, demons and it all works so well that it never feels foreign. It’s plausible and relatable and that is so impressive to me. All the more so as […]
The Carlisle Series by Roslyn Sinclair, narrated by Abby Craden
A great audiobook version for a fantastic series Unlike many other reviewers in our genre, I’m not a follower of fan fiction. But for as long as I’ve been reviewing Sapphic books I was told that I shouldn’t miss Telanu’s Truth and Measure. I admit that I was put off by 271,584 reasons, the number of […]
These Thin Lines by Milena McKay
Another breathtaking book by Milena McKay Vi Courtenay doesn’t know what to expect when she arrives for the first day of her internship – an internship chosen for her by her family – at Lilien Haus of Fashion but it’s certainly not to literally fall at the feet of the most beautiful woman she’s ever […]
Destination You by JJ Arias
A perfect book Now and again, as a reader, I happen upon a perfect book, one in which the author promises something and then exceeds expectations. Destination You is one of them. Taylor is heading home to Miami for her 10th High School reunion. She is waiting at the New York airport for her flight […]
