When I first read this, I rated it 3.75. While reading it, I was thinking of lowering it to 3 stars and which is what I set it at once finishing it. But after taking the day to think, I do have to lower it to 2.5. I hate doing that because I really love […]
An Arcane Inheritance truly snuck up on me. Before I knew it, I was drawn into the world that Kamilah Cole created and in tears by the end! I definitely am adding all of Cole’s other books to my TBR. The beginning moments of Ellory having deja vu moments were subtle but interesting enough to […]
Such a thought-provoking book on gender and identity, an epic look into a world that doesn’t have gender. The world-building is probably the biggest focus for people but everything else works in the background and slowly sneaks up on you.

Another thriller audiobook that I listened to while driving back home from the Utah Shakespeare Festival. This one has stayed with me in the weeks since finishing it and still gives me the chills. I may even have to change what kind of romance smut I read due to this, I don’t know. It was […]

A couple of chapters later, when the Grand Witcher offers Venus revenge, that the story starts becoming interesting. To clarify, […]

First, I’ve never been a fan of Romeo and Juliet. Shocking, I know (not really for those who know me). It’s an overdone tragedy when there are plenty of others out there that can fit the bill as easily as Romeo and Juliet. Now, this is not a judgment on anyone if they do like […]
