An interesting mix that reminded me of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella
Review of Malice by Heather Walter This was a quality book that I loved in some parts but struggled with some others. I just adore fairytale retellings, especially if they are sapphic. This was a book that I was dying to read and I had a lot of high expectations for it. In the end, […]
A cosy fantasy romance

An incredibly rich and in-depth start of a series
Review of The Unbroken by C.L. Clark I’m going to start by saying that the content of The Unbroken is incredibly rich and in-depth. The first half reads like a non-fictional account of the climate, politics, art, history, etc of Qaz?l which is a plus for world building but a heavyweight to carry for pacing. […]
This book was on my list of most anticipated reads of 2021
Review of Sweet & Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley This was a good debut read. This book was actually on my list of most anticipated reads of 2021. Sapphic-YA-fantasy will get me just about every time. However, I do think my high expectations might have affected my enjoyment a little bit. I didn’t love this […]
Another good wlw steampunk book by Nita Round
Review of ‘Fur and Fangs’ by Nita Round This was another good wlw steampunk book by Round. Nita Round had such a great 2020 that I was happy to see another new book from her to start off 2021. Round seems to write pretty fast, which I’m glad about since I’m always in the mood […]
A good lesbian urban fantasy novella by Diana Green
Review of ‘Solstice Moon’ by Diana Green This was a quick and good lesbian urban fantasy novella by Green. This is my third read by Green and all of them have been enjoyable reads. She’s a good storyteller and I always enjoy visiting her fantasy type worlds. This time she took us on an urban […]
A YA paranormal novel with a very different writing style
Review of ‘The Scapegracers’ by Hannah Abigail Clarke This book was weird in some of the best ways possible and I had a blast reading it. This is YA paranormal novel but to get technical it’s almost more magical realism with witches and at times almost borders on horror. I could see Clarke writing a […]
After underestimating Caren Werlinger books, I now know they are wonderful
Review of ‘Face the Wind’ by Caren J. Werlinger After years of underestimating Caren Werlinger books, I now know when I open one that it’s going to be wonderful. There will be romantic aspects but it won’t be a romance novel. It’s going to be beautifully written, probably bittersweet, full of love and the need […]
A cute WLW New Adult fantasy novella
Review of ‘Evie and the Pack-Horse Librarians’ by Laurel Beckley This was a cute WLW New Adult fantasy novella. This was originally published by Less than 3 Press under the name of ‘The Book Woman’, so if you read it then I believe it is the same story. It says republished not revised or reedited. […]
