The Maidens by Alex Michaelides REVIEW

Do you like Greek Mythology? Do you like mysteries? Do you like therapists who throw their job description out the window?  If so, The Maidens by Alex Michaelides is the book for you! This new mystery from the best selling author of The Silent Patient is full of twists, murders, and red herrings. You will

Outlawed by Anna North REVIEW

When I heard Western, I was skeptical.  But then I heard feminist, and I needed it.  I am glad I got it.  This book may be set in the 1890s, but the problems facing these women could be any place or time.  What do you do as a woman when you cannot do the one

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

Atomic Love by Jennie Fields review

I am going to be honest and say that Atomic Love is not what I expected. I went in expecting historical drama, and what I got was historical romance.  In 1950’s Chicago, women have been asked to leave the ‘men’s’ workplaces and go back to ‘women’s work.’ Rosalind was one of these women, but for

Resistor: An Eerden Novel (Ellinor #1) by C.E. Clayton REVIEW

Thank you Book Sirens and C.E. Clayton for an eARC of this book! Ellinor Olyesha Rask is pronounced exactly how you would expect.  Okay, now that is out of the way. Ellinor Olyesha Rask is a great main character, and I want more and that’s that.  The scifi world building is so fun and cool. 

The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson REVIEW

Science fiction is slowly creeping its way to one of my favorite genres. The reason is because of stories like The Space Between Worlds. It is female driven, diverse, and full of character. The science is cool, but it doesn’t bog down the plot and character development like in classic science fiction.  To visit other

Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson REVIEW

In the pages of this novel, I got two of my favorite things: unsurprising romance tropes and surprising fantasy world building. Pearson wrote a young adult fantasy that did not once make me groan over cliches or make me growl over characters’ inability to communicate. Kazi is a young thief turned Rahtan (a soldier for

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia REVIEW

This book had everything: creepy dreams, an eerie house, and a misty graveyard. Usually, I don’t like horror (if you read my The Shadows review, I talk a lot about it), but I couldn’t put this down! The main character, Noemí, is the horror story hero I want. She never does anything that makes me

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett REVIEW

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett was difficult for me to read.  Not because of quality, but I had difficulty reading because of the weight of the text.  Each character has layers upon layers of complexities.  Each scene in the thirty year span of this story is strongly selected.  This book was more than just

You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen REVIEW

Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen are fantastic at making me confused. I’ve now read two of their books, and found myself guessing till the end! You Are Not Alone is creepy, twisty, and fun for the reader! Shay lives in New York in an apartment she shares with her friend Sean, who is in a
