Unbroken by Alli Temple
Can sapphic pirates ever retire? This book got my adrenaline pumping and my heart beating fast. In Uncharted, Lady Georgina Elizabeth Millicent Cressida Wright reunited with her childhood friend Lou (just Lou) who had, in the meantime, become the infamous Captain Cinder. Unbroken picks up just before Uncharted ended and is told, this time, not […]
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 […]
Bluebird by Ciel Pierlot
A very exciting space opera debut I was very impatient to read this book because, well, “lesbian gunslinger fights spies in space!” And it has everything I was hoping for and more: spaceships, rebels, forbidden love, horrible villains, flawed heroines who kick ass… In a universe in which three factions are at war, two stories […]
Girl Island by Kate Castle
Beware of teenage girls I read this whole story in a shroud of constant trepidation. I don’t know how to say it in a way that doesn’t make it sound like it’s a bad thing because it’s really not. I knew what I was getting into (overall). It’s written on the cover, Mean Girls (which […]
A new book by Cari Hunter is always a cause for celebration
Review of Unbreakable by Cari Hunter I hate gore, I don’t like violence and I avoid those types of books like the plague. But I love Cari Hunter’s novels. Call me crazy but I find that her well-written, British-based, police procedural/thrillers are right up my street. A new book by Cari Hunter is always a […]
A very good and promising debut novel
Review of Holding Fire by Annelise Sorrell Discovering new talented authors is always exciting, even more, if they are independently published. So when my friend and co-reviewer Jude recommended me this novel, I jumped at the chance to read it. As an employee of Nexus Security, Rei Takeda is assigned to look after her boss’s […]
This was good, dark, and creepy
Review of The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould This was good, dark, and creepy. I’m a big fan of paranormal mystery/crime books and I’ve been lucky that there have been some good ones released lately. While the stories are quite different, this had a similar vibe to The River Has Teeth. The River […]
KJ knows how to keep the readers on the edge of their seats
Review of Ignis by KJ This is the second book I’ve read by this author – along with her debut novel Coming Home – and I have to say that I love KJ’s writing even though this one is completely different from her debut. Felicity Davis, the principal of Rawson Girls Grammar School, is an […]
A fantastic sequel to Compass Rose
Review of Sea Wolf by Anna Burke After Anna Burke’s amazing debut novel Compass Rose stormed the WLW books world in 2018, I have this author on my radar. Three years later and with four more books under her belt in the genres of fantasy, historical fiction and traditional romance, we finally have the Compass […]
