Today we are participating in the #SpinTheDawnTour organised by Caffeine Book Tours, to celebrate this #ownvoices Asian fantasy book! I’ve been excited for this book since I first heard the synopsis – after all, the cover is absolutely MAGNIFICENT and I never say no to a Chinese-inspired story with hints of Mulan. I’m happy to […]
Note: This is the sequel to Flame in the Mist, which you can find my review here. It is also the conclusion of this duology, so this review will have slight spoilers! You can also find Jeann’s review for book 1 over here. Want to check out graphics I made for this series, as well […]
If you were drawn by the cover of this title, DON’T FALL FOR THE TRAP. Seriously, I love a good rebellion story and a beautiful crown on the cover. But Ash Princess did not deliver on many of its promised components, and I ultimately found it a very boring read. I feel like the book […]

The Tiger at Midnight immediately caught my attention with its gorgeous cover. Before I knew it, the writing sucked me in, and after I got to meet the characters, I was thoroughly ensnared in its pages. This Indian-inspired fantasy is full of deceit, secrets, and a game of chase between two morally gray characters. It’s […]
The Sisters of the Winter Wood is a quiet, captivating tale that follows the growth of two sisters – vastly different from one another – and the secret power that their heritage has passed onto them. I really enjoyed this adult fantasy, and would really recommend it for readers looking for a magical escape into […]
I cannot believe it took me so long to read The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. I’ve seen so many rave reviews of it and Aentee @ Read at Midnight even tried to push me to read it by literally sending me her copy back in 2016. Better late than never though! I ended up listening […]
