A book overflowing with queer kindness

Tell Me Anything by Skye Kilaen

by 2 Comments

The thing about Skye Kilaen is that she has so much compassion for her characters and her stories are so full of kindness that when she rips my still beating heart out of my chest in chapter one, I keep reading because I trust my heart in her hands. Skye writes beautiful LGBTQ+ romances, she’s self published, and unless you hang out in the right book circles, you probably don’t know who she is. But you should, because she’s so gooooooooood. Tell Me Anything is […]

It’s a sapphic scifi romance bodyguard novella.. enough said!

Glorious Day by Skye Kilaen

I’ve read a few of Skye Kilean’s books and enjoyed all of them, so of course I had to read her sapphic scifi romance princess/bodyguard book. While that’s not a trope I usually seek out, The Unbroken reminded me of how much fun it is (and how much pining there is) when done right. The novella is told from Elsenna’s first person POV. She’s the Vice-Captain of the despotic king’s guard, quite a rise in the ranks from two years ago when she was the […]

Sure, it’s a dystopia, but it’s a very comforting one

The author calls this book “hopepunk” and that’s definitely a good description. Despite the fact that it’s set in a world reeling from climate changes and the after effects of war, it’s really quite sweet, full of chosen family and people doing their best to heal and help others heal. Van’s partner died three years ago in a battle with raiders. Irene had run defense for the circuit towns, a group of settlements who’ve banded together loosely for protection against raiders. After her passing, Van […]

It’s like I see the beginning of something and my brain goes right to the end.

The Home I Find With You by Skye Kilaen

It was profoundly strange to read a dystopian romance set in a United States after a climate change and racism driven civil war while my city and state were going through a climate driven disaster exacerbated by racist policies. If it had been written by another author, I probably would have put it aside as too close to home, but Skye Kilaen was writes with such kindness that it was a balm to read about her characters working together as a community to survive. Set […]

There are no guarantees, but you can talk yourself out of trying for a good thing.

Get It Right by Skye Kilaen

There are plenty of problems to go around. Challenges are abundant, so why not take a chance on love? Ellen “Finn” Finnegan is newly out on parole after serving 5 years of her sentence for felony theft. She’s trying to find a job so that she can pay her parole fees and find housing that isn’t her cousin’s stepsister’s couch. While she was in prison, she worked in the infirmary and fell in love with Vivian Curiel, the prison nurse who treated her like a […]
