Review: The Iron Crown by L.L. MacRae
I listened to the audiobook narrated by RJ Bayley through Scribd. The Iron Crown has been on my TBR for a long time but since it’s in Kindle Unlimited I’m not able to buy it for my Kobo. Luckily, the author announced she’d do an audiobook, which would be wide! I immediately started listening as Read More
Review: The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle
I read The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle was one of the books I read during the Ready Player Read(athon) for the horror prompt. I don’t read a lot of horror but I had this one on my digital shelf and it was pretty short, so I gave it a go. And I’m Read More
SPSFC: Speak To Our Desire by Brenda W. Clough
Speak To Our Desires by Brenda W. Clough is one of the allocations for our Wayward Stars team and Izzy from The Shaggy Shepherd and I were the first ones to read it. We read 20-25% before giving our verdict as we try to do with all of the allocations to give them a fair Read More
Review: The Elite by Kiera Cass
The Elite is the second book of the Selection series by Kiera Cass. I read the three books in quick succession since I wasn’t feeling great at the time and binged the three books, so forgive me if I confuse certain details from the books. America Singer is still our protagonist and the only point Read More
Review: The Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller
Because I’m obsessed with reading challenges this year, I’m also slowly ticking off the Oasis badges. One of the prompts was ‘Pirates’, and this was the first interesting book I could find on Scribd. It wasn’t too long and I can’t get enough of YA fantasy so it was an easy choice. I didn’t know Read More
ARC Review: The Reanimator’s Heart by Kara Jorgensen
Thank you to the author for giving me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. I usually don’t like books with necromancers because zombies are a trigger for me, but I wanted to give this one a try. Mostly because of the author. I had a feeling that even if this book included Read More
ARC Review: Notorious Sorcerer by Davinia Evans
Thank you to the publisher, Orbit, and Nazia Khatun for the free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. Siyon Velo is our Notorious Sorcerer but he doesn’t start out there. He’s not even an alchemist apprentice, running errands and gathering ingredients. Without formal training, he’ll never get into the Summer Club. Read More
Review: Spark by Sarah Beth Durst
I read Spark by Sarah Beth Durst as part of the SFF Oasis readathon in July for the Animal Companion prompt. While recovering from eye surgery, I got hooked on audiobooks but still prefer shorter works. Most middle-grade books are on the shorter side while they still hold the same wonder I’m looking for in Read More
Book Tour: With Fire in Their Blood by Kat Delacorte
Thank you to the Write Reads and the publisher, Penguin, for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. With Fire in Their Blood is a YA urban fantasy, witches, factions, and small-town Italy. Aside from the witches, I got Romeo and Juliet vibes from it but I was wrong. Even though Read More
