My Lovely Wife, Samantha Downing
I confess I am late in reviewing this one. I bought this as a hardcover after it released, and as I'm not a fan of reading hardcovers, it sat, and sat, and sat some more. But I'm glad I finally read it, so let's get into the review. I confess I was a little wary… Continue reading My Lovely Wife, Samantha Downing

The Night Ship, Jess Kidd
The Night Ship isn't releasing until October. But this came via a Goodreads giveaway, and anyone that has won there knows they email you to remind you to review the book. Which then had me worried if I didn't review it promptly, I wouldn't eventually win future books. I know I can't be the only… Continue reading The Night Ship, Jess Kidd
Stealing Infinity, Alyson Noël
I’ve only recently started reading time travel books, and I confess, while it’s not my favorite trope, when it’s done and researched well, I find it incredibly exciting. So while Stealing Infinity took a bit to get into, it was most certainly exciting. Though there were secrets that didn’t always make sense. Two days into… Continue reading Stealing Infinity, Alyson Noël
Juniper & Thorn, Ava Reid
Earlier this month, I bought The Wolf and the Woodsman, and before I could start it, I was approved for an ARC of Juniper & Thorn, and because the temptation of the blurb was too much to pass on, I started this one first. Going in, I didn’t know what to expect, and I confess… Continue reading Juniper & Thorn, Ava Reid

The Hazel Wood, Melissa Albert
“It carried with it a hard beat of fear, but beneath it, something else: surrender. After a life of running, always running. Meditating and counting and clinging to Ella’s hands in an effort to stay afloat on an oceanic anger.” Ahh! This book is so well-reviewed that I’m afraid I have little to add to… Continue reading The Hazel Wood, Melissa Albert
The Path of Thorns, A.G. Slatter
I wasn’t sure what to expect reading this one. It carried the fantasy genre in various places, but we were a bit into the book before the fantasy came into play. The Path of Thorns feels more historical or literary than fantasy, which is okay. There is a lot of day-to-day life to get through,… Continue reading The Path of Thorns, A.G. Slatter
