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)
I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The Book of Elsewhere is a somewhat mind-bending book. I was happily letting myself simply be pulled along by the story for most of its duration, but the closer to seeing the full picture I got, the…

Review: Icon and Inferno by Marie Lu (Release 06/11/2024)
I received an eARC of this novel through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This was one of my most anticipated books of the year, only below K. Ancrum’s Icarus, and I had loved Stars and Smoke, and Marie Lu’s books have all been 4 or 5 star reads for me for over a…

Review: The Poisons We Drink by Bethany Baptiste (Release 3/26/2024)
I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book. Once the action starts, it never really lets go, and I definitely didn’t anticipate where this story was going from how it began. I’d happily read more of these characters, and anything…

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…

Review: Venom & Vow by Anna-Marie McLemore and Elliott McLemore (Release 05/16/2023)
I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely loved this book. A.M. and Elliott’s writing voices mixed together so seamlessly, while allowing each character to feel very distinct. This book was very obviously a labor of love, and I really hope that they…

Review: Damsel by Evelyn Skye (Release 04/18/2023)
I received an e-ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. When I heard that Netflix had contracted Evelyn Skye to write an adaptation of an upcoming YA movie, I was immediately hooked. I had enjoyed her first duology greatly when it was released. I really enjoyed this book, and for what its…

Review: Stars and Smoke by Marie Lu (Release 03/28/2023)
I received an e-ARC of this book through NetGalley from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Any time I get to dive into a new world crafted by Marie Lu, it feels like a privilege. This book is an absolute breath of fresh air. She continues to strike a masterful balance between heartbreak…

Review: The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas (Release 09/06/2022)
I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley. The Sunbearer Trials was one of my most anticipated releases of the year. I had loved Thomas’s debut novel and while I was lukewarm about his sophomore novel (though it was actually written first), I had high hopes for this one. I struggled…

The Review: Underfoot Vol. 2 by Ben Fisher and Emily S. Whitten (Release 04/20/2021)
I received an uncorrected proof of this graphic novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the ability to read this volume of the graphic novel directly after finishing volume one, and am now eagerly awaiting volume three. It is a solidly done book, a bit less gory than volume one,…
