The way I dropped everything to listen to this when my ARC request was approved.

Extra Witchy (Fix-It Witches, #3) by Ann Aguirre

December 28, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the ARC. It hasn't affected the content of my review. I really like this series. There's bits about it that I would tweak if I could, but overall this is a really well put together contemporary magical romance series, and I like where she's taking it. … [Read more]

I don’t understand why people like this one, either!!

Lavender House by Lev A.C. Rosen

December 28, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Thanks to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn't affected the content of my review. I'm not sure how much help my review is going to be here, because I'm pretty certain I would have given it a different rating (though maybe not that different) had I not done the audio. I really wish … [Read more]

A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham

December 28, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn't affected the content of my review. I am sad to say this will not be a positive review. Firstly, I want to make it clear that the two stars here is specifically for the audio version. I think if I had read the hard copy I would have … [Read more]

“Let me be clear, Gwendolyn. I would rather be swallowed up into the bowels of hell and enter an arrangement with the fallen angel Lucifer than date Jordy Miller again.”

Never Ever Getting Back Together by Sophie Gonzales

December 28, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the advanced listeners copy. It hasn't affected the contents of my review. This was very nearly a five-star book for me, but the third act conflict didn't really work for me, so it's a four now. This made me very sad because the rest of the book was so … [Read more]

Mermaids, lantern fish and a little courage

A Dive Into the Blue. by Ellie Huynh

December 28, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The one fear/issue I did not have about learning to swim was that the drain in the pool would pull me in, like some Kraken waiting to bring me to Davy Jones locker. But, now well, I still donโ€™t. And that is because of the little girl in A Dive Into the Blue. Ellie Huynh gives us a story of … [Read more]

The most surreal collection I have ever read

Gods of Want: Stories by K-Ming Chang

December 28, 2022 by Mobius_Walker 1 Comment

I picked up this book for a couple of reasons. One, I really enjoy short story collections. Two, I read a short blurb about this book about that described it as spanning the space between magical realism and fantasy which totally piqued my interest. It was available as an audiobook from my local … [Read more]
