Book Review: These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan
I was hesitant about buying These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan, despite the amazing things I’d heard. The tropes all sounded like things I’d enjoy, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to pull the trigger and buy a physical copy right away. I borrowed it from my library in audiobook format instead though, and I’m…

6 Completed Fantasy Series That You Can Binge Right Now
I’ll be the first to admit that there’s no better feeling than driving to the bookstore on release day to get your hands on a brand-new book in a series you’re part-way through. I get SO excited to pick up a new installment, but then simultaneously dread coming to the end of the book, knowing…

Book Review: Ruthless Fae (Zodiac Academy 2) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti
I am absolutely loving the Zodiac Academy books. They’re soapy, dramatic, and angsty in all the best ways, with a vibe and feel that makes them like the fantasy equivalent of Gossip Girl. The characters can be a little over the top and the plot takes some wild twists and turns which make for extremely…

Book Review: Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
Hell Bent was one of my most anticipated releases of 2022 and WOW. It was everything I wanted in a sequel. It’s been days since I finished and I’m still thinking about how everything unfolded and how much I enjoyed it. It was one of those books for me where I originally sat down to…

Book Review: Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent
One of my favourite aspects of the book corner of social media is that I feel like I’m never short on recommendations for new books. A lot of the bookstagrammers that I follow have been recommending Daughter of No Worlds for months now, so I finally ordered a copy from Amazon to give the series…

I feel like I just wrote my January wrap-up and already, here we are in February. While we’re still in the thick of winter here in Atlantic Canada, the days are at least starting to feel longer and we’ve actually had some sunshine lately! Winter can be absolutely brutal on your brain when it’s nothing…

Book Review: A Light in the Flame by Jennifer Armentrout
A Light in the Flame was the second book in the Flesh and Fire series, which serves as a prequel/companion to the Blood and Ash series. The book came out in 2022 but I only managed to get it off of my TBR this month and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked…

Book Review: Gild by Raven Kennedy
The Plated Prisoner series is one of my most anticipated series of this year. I’ve seen it just about everywhere, with most people telling me that it only gets better as the books go on, so I finally took the first book, Gild, off of my TBR and started it last week. I wasn’t sure…

Book Review: The Awakening (The Zodiac Academy #1) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti
I have so much respect for fantasy authors because it’s not just a good story that you’re building; it’s an entire universe. Every interaction must play out within the context of the world you’re creating for it to make sense, and I can’t imagine the time, effort, and imagination it takes to ensure that everything…

Book Review: Promise of Darkness by Bec McMaster
Promise of Darkness was gifted to me this holiday season by a wonderful friend who knows I have a love for fantasy romance novels. The premise is a bit of a blend of some major fantasies that are currently popular (think Blood and Ash meets A Court of Thorns and Roses with a mix of…
