The Last Days of Hong Kong by G.D. Penman
A satisfying ending to the Witch of Empire series This is the end of a good and unique series. This series is alt-history/urban fantasy. It is pretty hardcore urban fantasy, with one of the better magic systems I’ve read in a while, so I would recommend this series more towards big fantasy and paranormal fans. […]
I absolutely recommend this one to readers looking for good Halloween books
Review of Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper I had so much fun with this! This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2021 and I’m happy to say that it was just as good as I hoped. The vibe was The Other Woman/John Tucker Must Die with some the Goblet of Fire, but […]
Steamy, emotional, and with a little bit of magic
Review of Unbeliever: Love is Magic is Love by Karin Kallmaker This was a good novella. It’s that time of year again, the days are getting colder (well technically the whole summer has been cold as it’s been one of the worst in years) and the leaves are already falling from the trees. Fall is […]
A fun and entertaining fantasy book
Review of Rand by Silvia Shaw This was a fun and entertaining fantasy book. I have been a fan of Maggie Brown for a while now. I have read most of the books she has released with Bella with In the Company of Crocodiles and Playing the Spy, being my two favorites. While I haven’t […]
What an epic love story!
Review Guardian by Jen Lawrence This was my kind of book. What an epic love story! I often joke about how there are certain kinds of fantasy books that I call “gateway” books. If you have not heard me say that before, I mean fantasy books that anyone can read. Even if you are not […]
This book is running for the biggest surprise of ’21 for me
Review of Give Me Grace by Bethany A. Perry Wow! This was way better than I expected. I mean, I always go into a book hoping I will love it, but dark fantasy can be hit or miss for me. Luckily, this was a big ole hit. This was the final read on my “I […]
The epic fantasy book I have been searching all year for
Review The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri Finally! The epic fantasy book I have been searching all year for. I love fantasy and there is nothing I would rather read than some sapphic fantasy. While I have read some okay and even some good fantasy books this year, there has not been anything I thought […]
A crazy but entertaining read
Review of Buried by Lizzie Strong This was pretty crazy. If you have read my reviews this year you might notice that I have been complaining about reading a lot of well written books, but I’m just not connecting with them. Funny enough, the opposite was true with this book. Now, I don’t mean that […]
A good retelling story based on a Russian folktale
Review of These Feathered Flames by Alexandra Overy This was a good read. It had a few bumps but it was well written, especially for a debut. While I know a few Russian folktales, I knew nothing about this one besides The Firebird name. I can’t say how close this was to the original tale, […]
