“What else does a phoenix do when it’s done burning?”

Burn Down, Rise Up by Vincent Tirado

by Leave a Comment

I have a thing for strong heroines, so of course this cover caught my eye. And when I saw that it was sapphic horror, well, of course I had to read it! It’s a love letter to the Bronx and reminded me a bit of a YA version of Alyssa Cole’s When No One Is Watching. “It’s fine,” she said in a way that … [Read more]

I'm bumping this up a full star from 3.5 to 4.5, and rounding up past that to five stars, because as previously mentioned: objectivity, gone. Haha … [Read more]

Three stars, for now. It’s not the book it’s me??

Moon Witch, Spider King (The Dark Star Trilogy, #2) by Marlon James

by Leave a Comment

This book has been holding up my review queue since I finished it in late March. I was surprised at my reaction to it when I read it, and wasn't sure what I wanted to say, because I wasn't sure if I liked the book or not. And, if I didn't like it, why not? I feel like nothing much has changed in … [Read more]
