It is no secret that We Hunt The Flame was one of my favourite books I have read this year. I was obsessed with it before I read it and I only became more obsessed after I read it. Zafira is the Hunter, braving the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir […]
REVIEW: Dreadnought
My Thoughts: I came across this book in my recent search for good transgirl YA, the same search that turned up “If I Was Your Girl.” Luckily for me, this one turned out much more positive. Here we are presented with a much younger character just starting out her journey. Through superhero magic, Danny is […]

Life is quiet and uneventful. Well, except when Hazel’s long-lost father uses necromancy to trap her dead mother’s soul. That simply won’t do. Necromancy is forbidden in […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Wayward Son

Everything about this book brings me joy, clumsy first kisses, sexuality exploration without fear, hate to love romance, give it all […]
