A Calculated Risk by Cari Hunter
I want to live in a world in which Cari Hunter’s characters exist Cari Hunter doesn’t churn out books by the dozen every year but they’re all well worth the wait. They’re extremely well-plotted, for one. And with A Calculated Risk, Hunter gives us, once again, the kind of characters I love most. I want […]
In the Roses of Pieria (The Blood Files #1) by Anna Burke
Pure Burke Beauty From the first sentence, you know it’s going to be pure Burke beauty. By the second, the mood is set. When given the opportunity to study hitherto unknown artefacts from the Nektopolian civilisation, Clara Eden doesn’t hesitate long. Higher wages than she’s ever received in her six years as an adjunct teacher […]
Stars Collide by Rachel Lacey
Rachel Lacey’s books always make me happy At thirty-six, Eden Sands is in a slump. And yes, she’s a superstar but she’s also relatively recently divorced, her shows don’t sell out in a few minutes anymore and her last album is doing okay. Okay isn’t enough and while Eden is mostly okay too, it’s not […]
Sucker Punch – Pretty Devils (Wrestling Girls #2) by Kayla Faber
A feel-good romance with sweat and bruises Liv is pretty desperate: she hates her job as a nightclub waitress and her home feels like a prison, with her alcoholic and gambling-addict mother spending all Liv’s hard-earned money. On a whim, she tries out for a spot as a wrestler at the Beatcave and lands a […]
Something’s Different by Quinn Ivins, narrated by Anastasia Watley
An original premise I liked this book’s premise of identical twins switching places in the workplace. As I love Quinn Ivins’s writing, I set aside everything to read this book. Even though I enjoyed it, it didn’t live up to my expectations. Caitlyn Taylor is an unemployed academic who comes home after finishing her PhD […]
Reflector by C.X. Myers
A breathtaking debut novel Reflector is everything I like in fantasy, more specifically in urban fantasy (my favourite kind of fantasy). Great worldbuilding, fantastic characters, magic, elves, demons and it all works so well that it never feels foreign. It’s plausible and relatable and that is so impressive to me. All the more so as […]
Sucker Punch (Wrestling Girls #1) by Kayla Faber
Found family at its best I don’t know why it took me so long to start this book. I enjoyed it a lot, it’s full of fantastic people and found family and exactly the kind of story I like. The author sets the mood brilliantly right from the start. Pam and her cousin Sean inherited […]
One Last Shot by Lily Seabrooke and Jacqueline Ramsden
A very cute and funny twin-swap romance Jokes and comedies are more likely to make me cringe than laugh. This book though brought me a lot of joy, not only because it did make me laugh several times but it made me do so with tenderness. Ava grew up thinking she couldn’t be more different […]
The Carlisle Series by Roslyn Sinclair, narrated by Abby Craden
A great audiobook version for a fantastic series Unlike many other reviewers in our genre, I’m not a follower of fan fiction. But for as long as I’ve been reviewing Sapphic books I was told that I shouldn’t miss Telanu’s Truth and Measure. I admit that I was put off by 271,584 reasons, the number of […]
