The Delicate Things We Make by Milena McKay, narrated by Abby Craden
A gorgeous narration for an impressive debut novel 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 […]
In the Shadow of Love by JE Leak
A good second book in an exciting historical series In The Shadow of Love picks up not long after In The Shadow of the Past ended. While the first book introduced readers to the characters, the era, the context, the second one, as can be inferred from the title, focuses more on the relationship between […]
Love Bleeds Deep by Rien Gray (Fatal Fidelity #2)
The second book in this non-binary assassin series is as intriguing as the first I started this book right after In the Shadow of Love by J. E. Leak and I found the same kind of film noir atmosphere. But while in the former, the feeling comes from the era, in this series, it’s from […]
An exciting YA sci-fi debut with a bisexual love triangle
Review of ‘City of Shattered Light’ by Claire Winn City of Shattered Light is Claire Winn’s debut novel, a pretty exciting and promising debut. It’s longer than many books I’ve read lately but I read it in a couple of days, I didn’t want to put it down. Asanna Almeida is the heir to her […]
When a fling turns to magic
Review of Passion Marked by Ophelia Silk I liked this book a lot more than I expected. While Spellbound, my first book by Ophelia Silk, was okay, this one was far better. It’s not without flaws, however. After a very promising first chapter, I felt like I was reading two stories at once for a […]
A matter of mystery
Review of A Matter of Blood by Catherine Maiorisi, Audiobook narrated by Abby Craden When I was a child I used to devour Agatha Christie novels, there is something appealing in trying to solve a mystery along the way with the detective character. Many years later and hundreds of books after, I’m happy to have […]
A solid and intriguing mystery romance
Review of When in Doubt by VK Powell If you follow my reviews you might know that I’m always game for a good crime novel. Jery Wylder is a committed police officer, her squad is her family. Especially her partner Randy who is almost like a brother to her. But when a drug-house mission goes […]
How to Become a Planet by Nicole Melleby
A wonderful Middle Grade book on depression and discovering new feelings I love this book. It made me cry a lot because I got Pluto and I got her mom and they both try so hard. I don’t know if the fact that I started reading on a day when every little thing was already […]
A sweet yet multilayered romance
Review of Change of Plans by KJ As I was starting KJ’s new novel, I joked that her books were always good, and easy to review. Ugh. I was absolutely right about the good part but the easy to review? Not so much. This book messed with my head. It’s not a difficult book, it’s […]
