Saving Ruby King by Catherine Adel West review

I saw this book’s beautiful cover on Instagram and entered a giveaway to win it. I didn’t know when it appeared on my doorstep, that it would be a sparkling debut that would burrow it’s way into my soul.  Alice King is dead. She was shot in her own doorway, leaving behind her twenty-four year

The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson REVIEW

Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik REVIEW

Chaos Reigning is the third and final book in the Consortium Rebellion Trilogy, a series of romance books that take place in space. I wish there were more! I love that the characters in each book do more than have a romance plot, but have real stakes and issues that have nothing to do with
