Caren J. Werlinger books are never just a book
Review of ‘Turning for Home’ by Caren J. Werlinger Caren J. Werlinger books are never just a book. You know, going in, that it will get into you, move you, change you. I wasn’t in the right headspace to tackle it when this second edition was released in April, complete with a short story, ‘Just […]
Diversity at its best in this YA horror debut novel
Review of ‘The Haunting of the Antique Brooch’ by Hina Ansari This is so not the cozy young adult mystery I was expecting. It’s bona fide YA horror debut novel, complete with ghosts, demons, djinns, and a gorgeous and mysterious girl. Sixteen-year-old Roni and her friend Matty
A disturbing but fascinating lesbian debut novel
Review of ‘The Feasting Virgin’ by Georgia Kolias Who believes in virgin births nowadays? Well, Xeni, for one, who is not as crazy as she sounds. Or maybe she is, but she also has this poetic quality that makes you want to see beyond the crazy. Delusions, religion, magic, they’re all interpretations of what is […]
There’s a storm brewing in this lesbian comedy book

A very good lesbian mystery book
Review of ‘Galileo’ by Ann McMan This was a good sequel to the Evan Reed Mystery series. While I liked book one ‘Dust’, I thought this book was much stronger. I have to admit since ‘Dust’ was written eight years ago I had given up on ever seeing book two. I was really happy to […]
