I needed a break from The Wheel of Time. I know Olivia Dade has been getting a lot of reviews over the last year, so I thought I’d give this one a shot.

Ooh, boy.  Buckle up, Buttercup, it’s about to get steamy in here. April Whittier, geologist, is a competent, brilliant, funny, lovely woman who has a serious job in Sacramento with a burning secret: she writes FanFic for her favorite show “Gods of the Gates,” a mainstream and wildly popular adaptation of Greek/Roman mythology.  April has gone to great lengths to compartmentalize her real life and online life, but decides to make a change, moving her to the more open and accepting (?) area of Oakland/Berkeley, […]
