Book Review: Elysium Girls
If you like weird west stories and chosen one narratives, then read Elysium Girls. The setting and the world are something of a twist on classic western with a vibe that isn’t quite steampunk but something similar. There is even a magic showdown. While I did enjoy the book, I didn’t find myself as immersed…

To the Flame by A.E. Ross My rating: 5 of 5 stars Review: To the Flame When I first heard about To the Flame and realized one of the main characters was nonbinary, I had to read it. I preordered it right away, but then when the author was looking for people to review…
Read MoreBook Review: A Dream So Dark
I received a copy of A Dream So Dark from NetGalley. I enjoyed the world, the characters, and the voice in A Dream So Dark as much as I did the first book, A Blade So Black. It wasn’t too hard to fall back into this world, and by the time I was about 30%…
Read MoreBook Review: Eclipse the Skies
I received a copy of Eclipse the Skies from NetGalley. I was excited to read this sequel, but it took me a little longer than I expected to really get into it. I was about half way through before I reached a point where I really did not want to put it down. What I…
Read MoreBook Review: Anya and the Dragon
I took a big hiatus from reviewing books here, really from reading in general, but I’m back! Anya and the Dragon had been sitting in my NetGalley queue for a long time. It is the first novel I have read since August, and it was like getting a nice cold drink of water after being…
Read MoreBook Review: The Bone Garden
The middle-grade reading spree continues with The Bone Garden. I got a free ARC of this creepy but cute little book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I didn’t think necromancy could be the cute, but alas, it was. In spite of its cuteness, I wasn’t as engaged with The Bone Garden as…
Read MoreBook Review:All the Impossible Things
Alright, so I’m back to that middle grade reading spree! Granted, it hasn’t felt like much of a spree yet since this is only the third middle grade book I’ve read this summer… Spree or not, I received a free copy of All the Impossible Things from Netgalley and read the whole thing in one…
Read MoreBook Review: Waking Up the Sun
Waking Up the Sun was a cute romance set in a dark yet enchanting forest where two people, the only two people in the forest, gradually fall in love with each other. My favorite part about this was the mental illness representation. The main characters panic attacks, combine with his description of his cycles of…
Read MoreBook Review: City of Ghosts
For the next couple of weeks, while I try to finish my own middle grade novel, I’m going to be on a paranormal middle grade reading spree. City of Ghosts is the second title I’ve read since I started and it was so much better than the first book I read off my middle grade…
Read MoreBook Review: Curse of the Dead-Eyed Doll
I requested Curse of the Dead-Eyed Doll on NetGalley because I’m currently writing a middle grade horror story, and I haven’t read much middle grade this years. Last year, when I listened to the audio book of Doll Bones, I remembered why I read books in that age category even though I was an adult.…
