“For here was the thing that no fairy tale would ever admit, but that she understood in that moment: love was not inherently good.”

The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean

by Leave a Comment

This was a weird and unique read. If you like darker fantasy that plays with ideas as the basis for stories, this might be a good one for you to check out. It was relatively short, but the imagination the author showcases was really fun, and the icky elements were icky in a good way. I’m not quite sure how to talk about the book, though! The main character here is Devon, a Book Eater, which is a human-like being who instead of eating food, […]

Last of the Lumberjanes

Lumberjanes: End of Summer Adventure by Shannon Watters, Kat Leygh

So it turns out the Lumberjanes series has reached its conclusion with volume 20: “End of Summer Adventure”. This series has had ups and downs and I think the conclusion is a little mixed.

But then again, the actual reveals are kind of […]

The penultimate Kate Daniels novel.

Magic Binds (Kate Daniels, #9) by Ilona Andrews

by 6 Comments

This is my favorite one of these so far. Everything is finally coming together. This is also actually the first of these books where I feel emotionally invested in Kate/Curran as a couple, which is kind of mind-boggling if you think about it. I’m really not reading this for the romance, but the worldbuilding and the side characters, and also Kate is a badass. Here’s the blurb, because I just can’t right now: “Kate and the former Beast Lord Curran Lennart are finally making their […]
