Review: Sunbringer by Hannah Kaner

Godkiller was a book that I loved. It was about quests, and found families, and delicious revenge. And yet, if Godkiller was the pebble, then Sunbringer is the avalanche following right behind. Inevitable and full of characters with hard choices, I can’t help but think of it as a metaphor for US politics. First there’s […]

Review: Godkiller by Hannah Kaner

This book was released a couple of weeks ago, which is lucky for you because you’ll be able to run – not walk – to your local book shop and get this book. And you should, because this one is probably my favorite new author that I’ve read this year. Considering the fact that I […]

Review: Conquer the Kingdom by Jennifer Estep

I regret that I had to hold this review due to the HarperCollins Strike, however, it seems that they’ve reached a tentative agreement with the union, and I feel badly that the author was caught in the middle of this, so I’m going to go ahead and allow this review to post. This books is […]

Review: Bindle Punk Bruja by Desideria Mesa

I really enjoyed this book, even though it made me seethe with rage. You see, Rose is a woman in a world where women have no agency. She’s trying to own and run a business, and is interacting with men who see women as objects for them to use and nothing more. It’s infuriating. And […]

Review: Eclipse the Moon by Jesse Mihalik

This book is part of a series, and I haven’t, unfortunately, read the rest. But this book has me looking to get the rest from the library, because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The mystery and action aspects of this book are top notch. The romance is sweet, resolved without a […]

Review: Tear Down the Throne by Jennifer Estep

You win, Jennifer Estep, you win. I am already in the middle of reading everything you’ve ever written. Seriously, I’ve read this in-progress series, I’ve got one more book in the Crown of Shards series to read. I’m, I think, 4 books or so in on the Elemental Assassin series, and holy Bob, I’m finding […]

Review: Westside Lights by WM Akers

So I didn’t realize, when I picked it up, that this book is the 3rd in a series. I haven’t read the first two. Maybe I wouldn’t have felt quite as lost if I had read those, but I didn’t, and here we are. Much like Gilda with her lover, Cherub, I went through this […]

Review: Capture the Crown by Jennifer Estep

If you held a gun to my head and forced me to describe this book, I would say “light and fluffy”. This might come as a surprise considering the main character has obvious PTSD from having survived a massacre as a child, but that’s how this book feels to me. You can almost ignore the […]
