A Tribute of Fire by Sariah Wilson – REVIEW
I have a confession. I’ve never read a Reylo book. You see, I’m a huge Star Wars fan, and I thought I could never enjoy reading books based on the Rey/Kylo Ren ship. However, I recently decided to try a Reylo book for the first time. A Tribute of Fire fit the bill! It’s a… Continue reading

For She is Wrath by Emily Varga – REVIEW
If you tell me a book is a fantasy retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo, I’m already going to be sitting down, ready to listen. Add in some Djinn magic, a stabby heroine, a killer revenge plot, and an incredible female friendship, and you have the makings of a five-star book. Did I mention… Continue reading

The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh by Claudia Gray – REVIEW
The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh is the latest entry in the Mr. Darcy & Miss Tilney series, one of my favorite ongoing series. Claudia Gray is one of my auto-buy authors, and I love almost everything she writes. Her Firebird series series is one of my all-time favorites, and I have also devoured… Continue reading

To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose – REVIEW
Somehow I completely missed To Shape a Dragon’s Breath when it was published last year.

A dark romantasy book set around a mysterious magical circus? Of course, I’m going to be interested! Sanctuary of the Shadow is romantic, magical, and full of dangers. Not everything is as it seems, and the characters quickly learn they can’t trust everyone and everything they’ve been told. Continue reading

Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett – REVIEW
Welcome back to Back Shelf Saturdays, where I review backlist titles I didn’t get to read when they were first published. I do this (almost) every week to ensure I’m reading more than just newly released and forthcoming titles. For my purposes, a backlist title is at least one year past its release date. This… Continue reading

Draw Down the Moon by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast – REVIEW
Have you ever read a book solely because of how beautiful the cover looks? The cover of Draw Down the Moon completely captured me. I went into the book entirely blind. Well, almost entirely. I didn’t even read the blurb! Facebook promoted an ad to me for the book, and I immediately knew I needed… Continue reading

Cascade Failure by L.M. Sagas: REVIEW
I’ve been on a mission lately to read more “happy” books – more books that make me feel good while reading them. Finding happy books is already hard, but finding happy books that are science fiction or fantasy seems even more difficult. Luckily, L.M. Sagas is here to save the day with her new book, Cascade… Continue reading

Review: Heartbreak Incorporated by Alex de Campi
Heartbreak Incorporated is the latest novel release from Alex de Campi. De Campi is best known for her stellar work in comics and graphic novels. Just last year, I read and reviewed her graphic novel Parasocial, and I enjoyed it so much that it made it to my top ten books of 2023. After that, I quickly… Continue reading
