Review: Witch Please – Ann Aguirre

September 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

Witch Please

Content notes: Yes, the book is just as sweet and adorable as the cover suggests. At one point, Titus feels like he’s “stumbled into a mystic portal where everything was weirder and more interesting and infinitely better” which honestly is a pretty good description of how I felt reading this book. Danica and her cousin ClemRead the Post

Review: Uncharted – Adriana Anders

August 26, 2021 Leave a Comment

Uncharted

Content notes: Whiteout was one of my favorite reads of 2020, so of course I was excited to see what crazy wilderness shenanigans would happen this time. While different in several ways, this book still scratches that same itch for me. It’s some kind of luck for Leo to get a tip about the scientistRead the Post

Review: What If You & Me – Roni Loren

July 6, 2021 Leave a Comment

What If You & Me

Content notes: Grumpy/sunshine is a favorite trope of mine, so I was very excited to read this newest book by Roni Loren, and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s also a fascinating take on that trope: while Andi is extroverted and optimistic, she’s not without her own troubles, and I loved how in some ways she’s lessRead the Post

Review: A Wolf in Duke’s Clothing – Susanna Allen

April 27, 2021 Leave a Comment

A Wolf in Duke's Clothing

Content warnings: It’s hard for me to articulate exactly what I was expecting with this book, but I think I expected more of a paranormal romance with historical elements. This is definitely more of a regency historical with a paranormal layer over top. And while overall I enjoyed the book, there were parts that wereRead the Post

Review: Yes & I Love You – Roni Loren

March 13, 2021 Leave a Comment

Yes & I Love You

Content warnings: While I absolutely adored Roni Loren’s last series, given the cover of this book, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Considering that series was about the survivors of a school shooting, pretty much anything would be fluffier, but I was hoping it wouldn’t lose the heat level or angst. And while IRead the Post

Review: Boyfriend Material – Alexis Hall

July 10, 2020 Comment : 1

Boyfriend Material

Content warnings: You know how some people say something’s a romcom but when you go read it, it’s… just not funny? And it takes itself much too seriously? And then you sit there wondering if, five months into this pandemic, you’re just a soulless husk of a person now? OK, well, this book is notRead the Post

Review: Conventionally Yours – Annabeth Albert

June 5, 2020 Leave a Comment

Conventionally Yours

Content warnings: This is an adorably cute and geeky new adult enemies-to-lovers road trip romance, with a “just one bed!” appearance. While there’s some heavier content that both characters are dealing with, it’s ultimately perfect summer fluff. The rivalry between players Conrad and Alden is a mainstay of the popular Gamer Grandpa Youtube channel, butRead the Post

Review: Until the End – Juno Rushdan

May 20, 2020 Leave a Comment

Until the End

Content warnings: I’ve enjoyed every one of Juno Rushdan’s books I’ve read, but none of them have been as much of an edge-of-your-seat roller coaster ride as this one! This is the third in a series, and while you could probably read it as a stand-alone as everything is recapped well, it won’t be quiteRead the Post

Review: Nothing to Fear – Juno Rushdan

May 15, 2020 Leave a Comment

Nothing to Fear

Content warnings: I loved Every Last Breath so I was very excited to read this book. Forced proximity on-the-run? Neurodivergent heroine? Heck yes! It picks up shortly after the first book, and while you could possibly read it as a standalone, I think it works better as part of the series. After the startling realization thatRead the Post

Review: Starbreaker – Amanda Bouchet

May 2, 2020 Leave a Comment

Starbreaker

I have to get this off my chest, but I have no idea what’s up with that cover, which I think is a definite step back from the first book. Other than that, though, essentially all of my criticisms from the first book were addressed, leaving a delightfully fun, fast-paced space romp. This is theRead the Post
