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 […]
A frustrating but addicting sports series book
Review of ‘Lighting the Lamp’ by K.R. Collins This series is on its way to being the most frustrating while clearly addicting I’ve read in a long time. I’m going to try not to spoil too much, but damn, it’s not gonna be easy. If you’re worried I might fail and don’t want to ruin […]
Endgame by Zoe Reed
A solid sweet Sapphic young adult sports romance Another new author for me, so I had no expectations. This is a lesbian young adult sports romance and I think Reed did a good job. Even when I’m much older than the MCs I can remember how I felt at 22. How sometimes you make a […]

A sweet romance in the bisexual books category
Review of ‘No Parking’ by Valentine Wheeler This was a nice read. My first by Wheeler and I believe her full-length debut. For some reason, I thought this was a novella but according to my Kindle it was a full-length story and it felt like it. This was a little different than I expected, but […]
I enjoyed this lesbian coming out book more than I expected
Review of ‘Tokyo Love’ by Diana Jean I ended up enjoying this lesbian coming out book more than I expected to. I originally picked this novel thinking it was going to be leaning more sci-fi-ish then quickly realized it was a ‘toaster oven’ romance with a slightly futuristic feel instead. Luckily, instead of being disappointed, […]
A solid and enjoyable LGBTQ science fiction book
Review of ‘A Pale Light in the Black’ by K.B. Wagers This was a solid and enjoyable LGBTQ science fiction book. I’m a big sci-fi fan but have not read as much lately as I would like too. This had the sci-fi space opera feel that I was looking for and I was happy to […]
