Review: Mister Magic (The Graphic Novel) by Kiersten White (Release 06/09/2026)
I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I really enjoyed this adaptation from the novel into a graphic novel. At first I was a bit skeptical of the ability to translate Mister Magic into a visual format, but I found that I worked…

Review: Red Star Rebels by Amie Kaufman (Release 02/10/2026)
Some of the action scenes were fun, and it definitely could be described as “Home Alone” but on Mars. I found the twists to be well-done, but the romance was a weak spot for me.

Review: Queen of Faces by Petra Lord (02/03/2026)
This was a fun book with an interesting cast of characters! I thought the magic system was well-designed and one of the stronger parts of this novel’s world-building.

Review: Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis (Release 01/27/2026)
Enchanting the Fae Queen was a really fun continuation of the world set up in Burgis’s Wooing the Witch Queen. I loved getting to learn more about the fae world, and see beyond Lorelei’s mask.

Review: Coldwire by Chloe Gong (Release 11/04/2025)
2010s style dystopia is back! Chloe Gong continues to be unbeatable in her YA novels. This book is best enjoyed going in as blind as possible. I immediately wanted to re-read the book once I finished and put it down.

Review: The Macabre by Kosoko Jackson (Release: 09/09/2025)
This book thrives in the shades of grey within the world and all of us.

Review: The Book of Elsewhere by Keanu Reeves and China Miéville (Release: 07/23/2024)
The Book of Elsewhere is a somewhat mind-bending book. I happily let myself simply be pulled along by the story, since it’s a complex non-linear path from beginning to end.

Review: Icon and Inferno by Marie Lu (Release 06/11/2024)
Icon and Inferno tries to be more angsty and emotionally devastating, than it’s predecessor, which is a major shift in a series created to counter the negativity present in the everyday world.

Review: The Poisons We Drink by Bethany Baptiste (Release 3/26/2024)
really enjoyed this book. Once the action starts, it never really lets go. It feels very appropriate that a story about a love witch is absolutely brimming with love of all types.

Review: Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong (Release 07/18/2023)
I received an eARC of this book through the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I loved Chloe Gong’s first YA duology, so I naturally jumped at the chance to read her adult debut. The premise of this book is really compelling, but I felt like the execution just didn’t quite reach its full…
