This is a hard book to review for me. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this book, because overall it was just okay. The concept was really cool, but nothing about it really stood out for me and it was a pretty mediocre space opera. I think a lot of people will love this, but for someone who reads a lot of science fiction it might feel a bit generic. The main thing I have to comment […]

Little thieves steal gold, and great ones steal kingdoms, but only one goes to the gallows. Holy WOW! This book took me completely by surprise! To be honest, this book wasn’t even on my radar until I saw that my bookstabestie Christy (@cbookaddiction) was reading it and enjoying it, so I took a second look at it. Before that, I didn’t plan on reading it at all. I had tried to read Merciful Crow a couple years back and couldn’t […]

It’s very rare that I find a book the hooks me helplessly from the very first page. Here’s a list of all the […]

“Three magics to be feared: curses born of the wrath of gods, poisons that turn soil to ash, and that which leaves one dark of heart and silver in the bone.” I got this ARC at YALLfest last November, to my utter delight! It was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases, and one of the ARCs I wanted to get my hands on the most at the festival. To be honest though? I wasn’t sure how this one would […]

Audiobook Series Review: The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis

Warning: There’s dog killing in this book. I’ve said before that Mindy’s contemporary books are almost always a hit for me. This one was no different! (Which makes me the black sheep in a good way for once, because the reviews for this book are pretty bad.) Mindy loves to write brutal stories, and you know I love brutal. This one is said to be a retelling of Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado, which I can’t speak of because I […]
