Ink Blood, Sister Scribe by Em..

Posted February 25, 2024 by Alana in Book Reviews, Fantasy / 0 Comments

I’ve found it difficult to categorize this book! A contemporary fantasy with a hefty dose of mystery and some suspense. Magical books tucked away in private libraries that are protected ruthlessly from unscrupulous individuals… Kinda. Also, these books require blood to activate and read and some don’t just stop with a little blood. Törzs juggles three POVs: Esther, Joanna, and Nicholas. Each POV distinct and enjoyable, though I think Nicholas was my fav to follow around. Don’t jump into this […]

Eclipse the Moon by Jessie Mih..

So, it’s confession time. I ADORE Jessie Mihalik’s writing! From Polaris Rising, to her Rogue Queen series, I have devoured every book and stalked every release. Eclipse the Moon is the second book in the Starlight’s Shadow series and it follows tech specialist Kee Ildez, hacker extraordinaire. We are treated to another delicious brooding Valorian, Varro, whom we saw a bit of in Hunt the Stars. Peace is… precarious to say the least and the Starlight’s crew is working overtime […]

Usually, I consume my true crime through audiobooks but as soon as I spied this title on NetGalley I knew I had to request an arc. Thank you to the publisher for my copy!

Review: Just Last Night by Mha..

I was so worried that Just Last Night wouldn’t live up to my inner hype because I have this habit of sticking McFarlane on a pedestal and I’m just hoping that I can keep her up there for forever. I’m thrilled to report that this was everything I hoped for. I sat down and binged this delightful morsel in a day, and may have put off some adulting even after finishing to sit and think about what McFarlane has created. […]

Review: Prime Deceptions by Va..

Posted October 30, 2020 by Alana in Book Reviews, Science Fiction / 0 Comments

Fair warning: This review may have some mild spoilers for book one so… read at your own risk. Or better yet, read book one and then come back. Valarie Valdez has given reader the tongue-in-cheek space opera series we didn’t know we needed and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Funny, thought-provoking, and all the geeky nods and references that I could hope for. Readers are treated to hints of favorites like Mass Effect, Firefly, Gundam, Pokemon, Cowboy […]
