Farewell Katia, See You As Soon As You Publish The Next One

Just Might Work by Katia Rose

November 30, 2022 by Abi 1 Comment

And so, my journey through the sapphic romances of Katia Rose comes to an end. Originally this review of Just Might Work was going to be “Oh hey so this one has the best smut of the lot” but then I read Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner and frankly that blew everyone out of the water in the smut department, so with all due respect to the smut, I will be forced to talk about the way in which I liked the characters, very much […]

*slaps roof* This Thing Can Fit So Much Gay Sex In It

Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner

November 30, 2022 by Abi 1 Comment

Somewhere midway through the chapter two “Oh no my friend brought me to breakfast with my one night stand from last night and it’s her mom” scene of Mistakes Were Made I realised that Meryl Wilsner had sucked me in for the ride. It was truly an outstanding entry in the awkward reunion genre, a little awkward, a little sexy, a little funny. It set the tone for the rest of the book, and it was enough to get me over my general mistrust of […]

  I love him so, so much. But what I’ve realized through all of this is that we need other people too: siblings, parents, friends, more friends, a therapist. Even teachers sometimes. That doesn’t mean our relationship isn’t strong. ― Alice Oseman, Heartstopper Volume 4 I’ve been working my way through my recommendation list lately. As soon as I wrap up one series, I’m sad that it is over. I tend to go looking for something along the same lines. After falling in love with […]

I Swear the Fact That This Book Uses Photograph by Nickleback as an Emotional Beat is Good, Actually

The Devil Wears Tartan by Katia Rose

September 23, 2022 by Abi 3 Comments

So funny thing about me is that I’m Scottish, kinda. I’m like, the right amount of kinda Scottish to vibe with the way in which this book is kinda Scottish. It’s set in Ottawa. I live in London. Moira Murray (a name so Scottish my parents are wishing I’d changed mine to something similar instead of making it so that my Scottishness is no longer the first thing that anyone immediately knows about me) and Kenzie Andrianakis (closer to my current level of Scot) are […]

A Trans-Austen Historical Romance

A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall

August 25, 2022 by Sofi Keren 5 Comments

I love reading Austen and the Brontë sisters. Jane Eyre is a favorite, even if Mr. Rochester is the worst and definitely killed his wife. But reading period romances used to remind me, in the back of my mind, that those stories weren’t written for people like me. It wouldn’t have been historically accurate for two queer people to get together and not be shunned by society, right? Or…maybe not. Gentleman Jack has been a breath of fresh air, with a main character based on […]

Neverland will never let go…

Hooked by A.C. Wise

August 22, 2022 by TylerDFC Leave a Comment

He remembers drowning. That single sentence, recurring often in Hooked, A.C. Wise’s sequel to Wendy, Darling, is the cornerstone of the existential dread that permeates the story. Described as dark fantasy I think this book edges deeper into horror, more even than the first book, which had moments of horror. This is a mean tale and a reinvention of Neverland and the Peter Pan mythos into something modern and terrifying at its core. What set Wendy, Darling apart from the pack of other modern takes on Peter […]
