Book Review: Lore by Alexandra Bracken
I initially had the opportunity to read a 6 chapter excerpt of Lore (coming 01/25/2021) and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the full book! Thankfully, the wonderful folks at Hyperion Publishing gave me a full copy to review, so I’m amending my initial review (which can be found here) and updating it […]

Book Review: Goblin King (Permafrost #2) by Kara Barbieri
Ya’ll, White Stag has a sequel, and it’s just as engrossing as it’s predecessor. Now, to be honest, I did have some things I wish had been better in White Stag (world building & some of the dialogue) but I found Goblin King (Permafrost #2) to be even stronger. The hunt for the white stag […]
Book Review: Butterfly Broken (Metamorphosis, Book 3) by Rebecca Carpenter
Butterfly Broken (Metamorphosis #3) is here and I’m both thrilled and saddened. I’m saddened because it means this unique and exciting story is coming to an end, but I’m thrilled with the intensity and action of the final installment. In Butterfly Broken, both Bethany and Jeremiah are reeling from the events that have already happened […]
