3 stars — I was so excited for this book. 1) Guy knitters?? Yes please! My hubby is a sexy male knitter, so I’m all over that. 2) Look at that cover! 3) #ownvoices book with main characters of colour?? WOOP! But…well…I kinda had to push myself to finish this book, and if it hadn’t […]

4 stars — OMG, this one tested my second hand embarrassment tolerance to the highest degree. And like, not even that exactly, but just being so annoyed with a main character, and wanting them to do better and be better! I almost put it in the freezer…it was that bad. I actually got worried about […]
4 stars — I got exactly what I was looking for in this book: a cute YA royalty story, mixed in with a strong black heroine. While just by being a book written by a black woman, containing a black heroine, we got a look at everyday life…but race wasn’t the main issue in the […]
Favorite Quotes: “I was looking for you,” Elena hissed. That voice…I shuddered. To Ronan, I mumbled, “Five seconds.” “Five seconds until what?” huffed Elena, her penetrating gaze swiveling my way. I resisted the urge to stick my tongue out at her like a child. Or give her the finger like an adult. Either option appealed […]
3.5 stars — I have not read the first book, Axios, so I can verify this one can be completely read as a standalone. From the reviews, it sounds like there’s a LOT of repeat, instead of just a few fill in the gaps scenes from a different POV. Which makes it great for those […]
I really liked this light bully RH. It had a good start, pacing was great and the build was consistent and stayed interesting. The chemistry between all the boys and her was medium burn. I loved how Raff had a more prominent role in the beginning and Ranger, Maverick and Galen kinda took their time […]
4 stars — Wow. This one was fairly slow to start, and while I was enjoying it, I wasn’t wowed. It had some moments of repetition, and there were some pacing problems where I felt like there could have been some editing down. But then I got sucked right the fuck in, and holy cow […]
Favorite Quotes: A bolt of bright blue plasma seared her retinas. The Bartharrans raged forward. Torin became a dark blur, somehow evading the plasma fire, slipping into the chaos like a fine thread through the eye of a needle. “Whatever you wish, Persephone.” He gestured toward the corridor with a small, ironic flourish. “Please, after […]
Favorite Quote: “We need more women out in the world. To hide them away only creates a demand for them as commodities. We need women in positions of power, in educated jobs, in supportive and leadership roles. That’s how we make the world a safer place for our kids.” This one rocked! The way that […]
