Wow, this book… it was deliciously dark. Schaeffer brings readers into a tantalizing world where supernatural beings called unnaturals roam the earth and are mistrusted by the rest of the humans. Some of them are benign, such as fluffy dacts that are kept as pets, while some are dangerous, such as unicorns that suck the […]
Mirage: something that appears real or possible but is not in fact so. The title of MIRAGE may suggest an optical illusion of sorts, but the story in this book felt so real and touching when I read it. This Moroccan-inspired fantasy brings readers across planets and kingdoms. It touches upon colonization, oppression, and the […]
While this is only the first book in a series, I’m confident that Trail of Lightning will debut as a top Urban Fantasy book.

Emergency Contact isn’t a light, fluffy rom-com. There are pretty intense elements of the story that gives it an almost bittersweet vibe to it. […]

I feel like The Hazel Wood is definitely a hit or miss kind of book. Readers will either be enchanted by it or not care either way, like I did. The first half of this book was really hard for me to continue: it was slow and tiring and full of dialogue with no explanations. […]
