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 […]
My abeulo says that there are people who belong to the earth, and others, like us Martinezes, belong to the sky. The Last 8 is a dazzling, sky-soaring debut from Laura Pohl. Featuring a Latina main character who is bisexual and aromatic (like me!!), it promises a fast-paced, stand-alone sci-fi adventure where eight teens are […]
I adored Spooner’s previous stand-alone book, Hunted (you can find my review here!), but Sherwood fell a bit flat. I wish I liked it more, but for every good thing about it, there were two disappointing aspects. Honestly, reading this book had its ups and downs.

This Beauty and the Beast retelling may have some familiar tropes, but it’s definitely not a fantasy to be missed! Kemmerer writes fantabulous dialogue in a magical realm where a girl from our modern day and age travels to. This girl, Harper, has cerebral palsy, but she proves time and time again with her cunning […]
I adored this author’s debut, BEYOND A DARKENED SHORE. It caught me by surprise with how much I enjoyed it, and it’s a story I would reread time and time again. Because of that, I was quite excited about this companion sequel, THROUGH THE WHITE WOOD. However, I suppose my expectations were too high with […]
What a stunning fantasy debut! Seriously fantasy readers, you better have this book on your radar. The Girl King reveals a stimulating plot full of betrayal and sacrifices as characters fight their way to the top. Among the ensemble of casts is Lu, Min, and Nokhai. All three of them have very distinct POV’s that […]
This is my first Julie Kagawa book (I know – a shame considering how popular her Iron Fey series was when I was in middle school!), but certainly not my last. Shadow of the Fox is an own voices story set in feudal Japan where demons called youkai roam the land and a treasured scroll […]
Get ready for an incredible adventure and determined heroine that is unputdownable from start to finish! Fire and Heist places magical beings such as wizards and were-dragons – or wyverns – in our currently time today. The catch? No one really knows their secrets, not even Sky, whose family used to be on the council […]
