Anddd we have another Snow White retelling to add to our shelves! I’d recommend to read this with a fresh, open mind, considering the multiplicity of fairy tale retellings set in science fiction settings. This one still remains highly original and has characters and plots that are unique to itself, despite the seemingly similar backgrounds […]
This book was fast-paced, fun, and full of action! Future Shock brings a cast of characters together to go into the future and bring back information on what’s happening over there. Elena is an orphan, and we start the book with her being rejected from yet another job. Thus, when Aether Corporation provides an opportunity […]
If you’re looking for a quick LGBTQ+ story, this is the one for you.

She’s attracted to a girl she works with but isn’t sure […]
Steampunk isn’t my usual genre, but I thoroughly enjoyed The Diabolical Miss Hyde.

It is an honest and real representation of how the incarceration of a sibling can impact your parents, your friends, yourself and the public perception of everyone around you. The […]
I remember when this book first came out, I was all “ewww it sounds like there’s a love triangle” and read reviews that lamented about the romance. And from that, I endeavored to stay away from it. However, I kept on seeing it lately (especially with the sequel releasing recently), and when I remembered that […]
This fast-paced retelling of Snow White was full of fun, adventure, and swoons as we follow Lorelai and her path to reclaiming the throne of Ravenspire. From the very beginning, I loved her character. She was courageous and knew how to fight back. She may have been based on Snow White, but she certainly isn’t […]
