I was so excited to read The Sea Spinner after reading and loving The Wind Weaver, the first book in the series. It was such a fantastic read, and so is this one. This book picks up right where the first left off, with Rhya dealing with everything that happened and trying to figure out … Continue reading Book Review: The Sea Spinner by Julie Johnson
Wow. What a powerful and thought-provoking read! I’m so thankful to Berkley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book via NetGalley. I love mythological retellings, but I haven’t read any that focus on Aphrodite, so I was really intrigued by this one. Reading well-known mythological stories from her perspective changed my perspective … Continue reading Book Review: Aphrodite in Pieces by Lauren J.A. Bear
T.J. Klune has a way of pulling at my heartstrings, and this story is no exception. It’s intense and thought-provoking with a sense of urgency that permeates the tone. My word.

I loved the different points of view, the different worlds, and how … Continue reading Book Review: The Thorn Queen by Sasha Peyton Smith
I don’t even know where to start with The Verdant Cage because I have a lot of thoughts! lol I'm really loving the resurgence of dystopias lately, and this one reminds me of the dystopias from the early 2000s. The story is intense right from the start when Rose’s mother is killed in the middle … Continue reading Book Review: The Verdant Cage by Jess Lourey
While You Were Seething was such a fun and romantic story! I’ve read and enjoyed several of Charlotte Stein’s romances before, and this one is just as good as her others. The characters are layered and interesting, the story is fun and emotional, and the romance is positively swoon-worthy. The story follows Daisy, a PR … Continue reading Book Review: While You Were Seething by Charlotte Stein
