Wild magic by may dawney

Kam

Aug 14, 2020

Wild magic by may dawney wild magic is to a novel, what a web show is to a tv show. just as good, in a different format. that choice allows dawney to share her story with us in a unique way. hyper-focused both on the event and the mc. it’s the first of 4 books, all sharing part of a whole story. it is kind of a deconstruction of storytelling and

Death before dessert by a.e. radley

Kam

Death before dessert by a.e. radley (amanda radley ) agatha christie, but queer in my humble opinion, radley hit the mark on this one. the light tone of this book allows the reader to dive into some of the darkest places of the human soul. radley address some of the worst parts of our social behaviour in this story. fair warning, if you require som

Uncharted by robyn nyx tomb raider on steroids so, imagine if, by magic, someone, could mash up lara croft with indiana jones and nathan drake and every other fictional archeologist/treasure hunter/adventurer into one, or two, epic characters. you would get half the awesomeness of nyx protagonist gave us. you know what the queerness is maxed up in

Big girl pill

Kam

Mar 28, 2020

Big girl pill by k d williamson slow ignition, big kaboom it’s some great williamson here. the story takes a while to pick up. at least more so than her usual story. the decor and protagonist set up takes a bit, but it is so worth it. while maya is my favorite character in the book. in my humble opinion, nina is the true character to focus on. he

Going up

Going up by a.e. raddley not so classic rags-to-riches story so if you are already fond of raddley and a sucker for ice queen, read no more. and get yourself going up now. just be aware it ain’t your typical romance. this story is a refreshing light in the lesfics world. or should i say in the romance lesfic world? why do you ask me? well, while

The wrong mcelroy by kl hughes who doesn’t like a nice rom-com? you? well pass your way then, neither this review or the book is for you then. boom time save! for my part, i enjoy every now and then a cheesy rom-com, especially when it’s a fake dating trope novel. a trope can make a story sink or swim, with this one, it’s swim. let’s dig in

Greengage plots review

Kam

Sep 29, 2018

Greengage plots emma sterner-radley an insular chronicle where to begins? i still feel lukewarm about this book, even after the second read. it's definitely a good story, most of all a story that needed to be told. it just did not spark my personal fire. as most of emma's books, it's a romance. a cute one at that. if you are looking for a late bloo

Lucky 7 - you need it.

Kam

Lucky 7 by rae d. magdon it’s everything you want and more let’s be clear from the start. i am sold. lucky7 might be rae d. madgon best work so far. if i should read only one queerbook until the end of time. it would be a serious contestant. luck7 is a futuristic dystopian cyberpunk adventure with a dash of romantic intrigue. in other words, th

Just for show

Just for show ( hollywood series) jae showing a good read while being set in the hollywood series universe, just for show is a stand-alone book. don’t be afraid to pick it up.. jae uses a classic trope: fake relationship. the thing with classic storyline is that it’s easy to crash and burn. it was not the case with this book. jae almost-nearly
