ARC Review: A Far Wilder Magic

What a cute lil magical story! I’m so tired of giving formal summaries of books so let me sum it up like this: Margaret misses her alchemist mom who abandoned her to search for the last Hala, a mythical creature of great power and destruction. Enter: Wes. An absolute golden retriever of a human who …

Book Review: The Midnight Library

The longer it has been since I read this book, the more I despise it. I just. don't. get it. There's a magical library you go to when you die that has all of the other ways your life could have been. It is somehow made of limitless lives, yet there are certain things that …

ARC Review! All of us Villains

Was it what I was expecting? No. Did it get me out of a months long reading slump? Yes.  The town of Ilvernath has a secret—it is the last town on earth that has access to high magick. Magick that is awarded to one of seven families through a deadly curse. Every 20 years, each …

ARC Review: Our Violent Ends

So I was a really big fan of These Violent delights. And while I definitely enjoyed Our Violent Ends, I wouldn’t say it quite lived up to the first book. Still 1000% better than Shakespeare though. Roma and Juliette return while facing an even bigger threat. Not only are monsters lurking in the city, but someone …

ARC Review: City of Shattered Light

A solid sapphic sci-fi read (hehe)! Asa is set to become the heiress of her father’s tech empire, a role she was raised for. But when Asa’s father risks her sister’s life to further his own experiments, she runs away to Requiem. Enter: Riven, head of one of the most ragtag yet deadly gangs in …

ARC Review: Under the Whispering Door

AHHH SO MANY TEARS. Wallace Price is dead, and a jerk. When his reaper, Mei, comes to collect him, Wallace can't believe his fate. But then he meets Hugo, the man who will guide him into the life beyond. What starts as a tenuous tolerance of Hugo at first soon blooms into something like friendship. …

ARC Review: Iron Widow

I seriously can’t even form coherent thoughts after reading that because it was just so good?? I can easily see this being the biggest fantasy book of the year. This was art. And I don’t know how to review art. So this post should be interesting. I’m not sure how to summarize this one because …

Book Review: One Last Stop

Sigh. This is why I can’t read romance books. August doesn’t believe in putting down roots, getting too comfortable, and she certainly doesn’t believe in love. That’s is until she meets Jane on day on the subway, a girl that looks like she could be straight out of a 70s. There’s just one problem: Jane …

ARC Review: Carmilla

Lesbian vampire novels from the 1800s is a genre I didn’t know I needed until now. Laura is devastated when her summer companion dies before making it to her household. When the bewitching and beautiful Carmilla shows up shortly after, it seems like a stroke of good fortune. But with a strange illness sweeping through …

ARC Review: What We Devour

For those of you who like my rant reviews, wooow you’re in for a treat. I always feel really bad rating ARCs low, but sometimes I just can't help it. Every. Single. Thing. About this story made about 0 sense to me. Basically there's this really cool concept of the Noble and Vile, right? Demigods …
