A Lady For a Duke by Alexis Hall

November 2, 2022 by narfna 6 Comments

“I cannot meet him as a stranger. But he has never known me as myself.” I loved this so much I wish I could just drop everything I’m doing right now, including writing this review, and read it again. I honestly haven’t stopped thinking about it since July, and it is now November. I would need to re-read anyway to write a review that does it justice, with like, quotes and shit. As of right now, I’m thinking this review is just going to be […]

Community, Queer Romance, Near-Future SF….What More Could One Want?

The Short While by Jeremy Sorese

January 10, 2022 by GentleRain 4 Comments

This was a really nice surprise to read, as I had no real expectations going in besides being a follower of Jeremy Sorese’s illustrative work on Twitter. I knew he dealt with queer themes and I like his art style, so when I saw on Twitter that he’d done a graphic novel, I looked at the excerpt and decided to buy it. Pricey at US$30, but it is 432 pages and a mixture of illustration, comic panel style sections, and text, so you are getting […]

“His big, obnoxious Scorpio energy is invading your cozy Cancer safe space!”

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas

December 20, 2021 by narfna 4 Comments

I saved this for Halloween* and I’m so glad I did. It was so atmospheric and spooky and fun, with great worldbuilding and great characters. The only reason it’s not getting five stars is that I was straight up able to predict everything that happened in the plot, because the author telegraphed it all pretty hard. It didn’t really affect my enjoyment that much, because the fun here was the world and the characters, but I of all people should just not be able to […]
