This was a hot, sloppy mess.

The Foxhole Court (All for the Game, #1) by Nora Sakavic

by 1 Comment

If you’re not aware of this book, a while back this series started making the rounds on Tumblr. It’s entirely self-published, and managed to break through somehow. It follows a team of college athletes playing a made-up sport called Exy at a fictional university called Palmetto State. The main character is the son of a crime lord and has been on the run for most of his life; he is living under a fake identity when he’s recruited. He also happens to have been childhood […]

Lovely YA book about coming out as nonbinary.

I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver

This was so good! I knew it would be. Too many of my GR friends whose opinions on books I usually align with loved it. I definitely wasn’t expecting to become so angry while reading the first several chapters that I could literally feel in my face that my blood pressure was rising, and the corners of my vision went sort of black. This poor child. All the poor children. What the fuck, parents, what the actual fuck is wrong with you. Oh my god, […]

“There is no consent under capitalism.”

Docile by K.M. Szpara

I liked this! But it didn’t go where I was expecting it to and I had to think about it a bunch before I rated and reviewed it, which I think is ultimately in the book’s favor. If it was easily digestible, I don’t think it would have been worth much of anything. Docile has been touted as a “science fiction parable”, and I think that’s an apt description. Certain things are purposely heightened (the wealth disparity between classes) and taken to their extremes, while […]

“I don’t want to talk about dukes. Bollocks on every last one of them.”

A Delicate Deception (Regency Imposters, #3) by Cat Sebastian

This was a bit rough, but charming in its roughness. It’s my favorite of Sebastian’s Regency Imposters books. At the beginning of the book especially when the lovers are in the “enemies” phase of “enemies to lovers,” the banter and the narration both are very biting and witty, but in a gentle, non-threatening way for my emotions. Amelia is our heroine, and I will admit it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize she was in both prior books in the series. She has […]

Little demons everywhere

Unsung Heroine by Sarah Kuhn

by Leave a Comment

Official book description: Lucy Valdez is many things: fight trainer/bodyguard to superheroines, fabulous vintage fashion plate, undisputed karaoke queen at local joint, The Gutter. She is also one of the toughest fighters in all of San Francisco without superpowers. So why can’t she seem to confess her feelings to her longtime crush Rose Rorick, head of the San Francisco Police Department’s Demon Unit? Well…. actually, she knows why. She’s afraid Rose won’t like the real Lucy, the Lucy underneath all the fabulous bravado. (She is […]
