Crave

Posted on 19th May 2020

I went into the book with almost no expectations because none of my friends had read it or said a thing about it one way or the other.

The Extraordinaries

I am never more pleased than when I can write a glowing five-star review about a book.

Blood Countess

This book was on my list the moment I saw what it was about. I used to love learning about Elizabeth Báthory.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review!

All The Stars and Teeth

Posted on 14th April 2020

I have to write this review now, even though I don’t have all my thoughts in place, mostly because my head is STILL spinning. I can’t believe it! This review may ramble a bit, so feel free to skim if you start to zone out. Let me start by saying I REGRET not getting the OwlCrate version of this. I wish I had, but at the time I was also getting Fairyloot, and I made a choice. Anyways, besides that, the cover is gorgeous no matter what color it is, and so is the interior. That’s because this book was one of the most amazing reads. (Partially because I love mermaids and magic!)

Wicked Saints — Book Review

Posted on 13th April 2020

Nadya, a young woman with the power of gods on her side finds herself working with the enemy — a young man who uses “blood magic”. He convinces her to help him kill the king. The prince, too, desires his father’s death. The three seem to be working for the same purpose, but will they join together and be able to accomplish this mammoth task?

Of Curses and Kisses

Posted on 12th April 2020

I got really tired of retellings, especially fantasy ones several months ago, and so I hesitated to read this one at the time. I am SO GLAD that I waited. Because I feel that I really wouldn’t have enjoyed this book if I had read it when I first wanted to. (Okay, February, but still.) I enjoyed this book, and I felt that it was a read I had fun with, and one that I liked. This is a 3.5 stars for me.

A Curse of Gold

Posted on 11th April 2020

So, I enjoyed the first book. I love seeing different takes on mythology, and this one was definitely interesting! I hadn’t seen it done that way before, and I was intrigued. Of course, I picked up the sequel (this one) before I’d read the first, so I had to read that first. This is the sequel to A Touch of Gold and I think it is a good sequel.

The Scapegracers

This had witches and it had lesbians. It also had good female friendships. These are all things that I love in books. There was a ton of queer rep, even if just briefly mentioned, in this book. Unfortunately, it didn’t all come together for me in a way that made me love the book.
