Wild Magic By May Dawney

Wild magic by may dawney

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

Death before dessert by a.e. radley

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

Big Girl Pill

Big girl pill

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

The Wrong McElroy

The wrong mcelroy

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

Greengage plots review

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.

Lucky 7 - you need it.

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
The Music & The Mirror

The music & the mirror

Bring Holly Home

Bring holly home

Bring holly home a.e. radley above average, below perfection full disclosure, i am a fan of a.e. radley . but this story missed its mark for me. it is good, however, it is lacking that magic touch that made radley character’s so relatable in previous books. let’s start with the good points - the storytelling is organic, the plot is light and th
Just For Show

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
Out

Out

Out claire highton-stevenson a story about luck the character of michelle charmed me. their is something so true about her, about her doubts and her fragility, she is almost the incarnation of every awakening not-straight person. out is definitely a love story, after a beginning worthy of the most unrealistic romcom the rest of the story found its
Journey's end Review

Journey’s end (flight series book3) a.e. radley noooo i don’t wanna it to end! journey’s end , as the title suggests, is the conclusion of the adventure of the family love story. * grunt* to me it felt anything but time for the end. probably because i am a slut, a total fan of this series and just always see the potential for more, more plot
