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 […]
A quick and enjoyable story about two very different people
Review of Lost in Love by Emily Banting Anna is a 30-something researcher that has had to upend her life to move back to her small English hometown to take care of her ailing father. She has no trust in doctors after her experience with them when her mother was dying. So it is no […]
A very good sports romance focused on ice hockey
Review of Hat Trick by Ali Spooner and KL Gallagher Full disclosure, I’m the web designer who created KL Gallagher’s site so I was curious to read her debut book, Hat Trick, but neither the authors nor the publisher asked me to leave a review. Despite that Ms. Spooner has an impressive back catalogue, I’m […]
A solid paranormal-romance novella
Review of The Better to Kiss You With by Michelle Osgood This was a cute novella. For my second Halloween read I decided to go with a werewolf story. While I’m more team vampire, I love a good werewolf story or really any kind of shape-shifting animal/human. This is a story that I’ve wanted to […]
An original premise for an entertaining read
Review of Free Fall at Angel Creek by Julie Tizard I’ve got this author on my radar (no pun intended) since I read her debut The Road to Wings which won a GCLS Goldie Award. Her expertise in airplanes and flying make her books very original and interesting. I couldn’t pass this up. When Flight […]
A very well written, engaging historical novel
Review of In the Shadow of the Past by J.E. Leak In the Shadow of the Past by J. E. Leak is an atmospheric lesbian noir. I think the style and language are more like noir-ish or noir light, but the author inserts plenty of intrigue into the plot. The stunning Kathryn Hammond, she of […]
I absolutely recommend this one to readers looking for good Halloween books
Review of Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper I had so much fun with this! This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2021 and I’m happy to say that it was just as good as I hoped. The vibe was The Other Woman/John Tucker Must Die with some the Goblet of Fire, but […]
A short but promising ghost story
Review of ‘Harrington House’ by J.P. Noether This story feels like a teaser for something. It efficiently sets the scene but it’s way too short to be satisfying. Laren is a promising MC. She’s just out of what sounds like an emotionally abusive relationship, which left her insecure on many levels. She’s an artist and […]
A great way to start off my Halloween reads
Review of The Lost Girls by Sonia Hartl This was a fun read! It’s my favorite time of the year again and I could not be more excited about what that means book-wise. For the next month I will only be reading a few ARC’s, and instead concentrating on paranormal, urban fantasy, horror, and magical […]
