Lynn’s Review: In the battle between zombies and unicorns, I am decidedly pro-zombies. I enjoyed more of the zombie stories than the unicorn stories. This surprised me, as I don’t usually go for “scary” stories. I definitely prefer my zombies with a side of romance and/or humor. One of the few zombie movies I’ve enjoyed is […]
Julie’s Review: I grabbed Monstrous Beauty at the library after reading a different book by this author. I immensely enjoyed her storytelling style and wanted more. I’m so glad I did. Monstrous Beauty is different, erie, and a bit gothic. I love a good mermaid fantasy, and really need to read more of them. […]

Lynn’s Review: A Court of Mist and Fury is a complete 180 turn. In as much I loved Court of Thorns and Roses, I loved this even more. And that may seem unusual for a second book in a series. But it’s so very true. More feels. More tension. More everything I want in a book. […]
Julie’s Review: Here’s the thing. I have a peeve. Well, I have tons of peeves about bookish stuff, and I’ve written about them plenty before. And this one hits upon a peeve of mine. First, let’s chat about what I did like. I liked the characters and the unique personalities. The three main characters each […]
Lynn’s Review: A book review in chart form: I guess a regular review, too. There were some aspects about Starflight that I really did enjoy. It’s a good starter sci fi book. There aren’t a bunch of weird character or place names to try and remember. It’s not heavy on the science. The only […]
Julie’s Review: This book was simultaneously a fairy tale and a very serious glimpse into our history. I thought the combination was very well done and interesting. I loved how the book started off with the tale of the three sisters and their curse to be stuck until they can save a soul on […]
