  • Review: Ander & Santi Were Here by Jonny Garza Villa (Release 05/02/2023)

    I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I loved almost everything about this book. Santi, Ander, and their friends and family felt like they could waltz right off the page as real people. I loved watching Ander and Santi’s romance blossom throughout the book,…

    I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. As a fan of both of Cale’s books that I’ve previously read (The Love Interest, and If This Gets Out), I was so excited when I was approved to review The Pledge. While this book is definitely…

  • Review: Wake The Bones by Elizabeth Kilcoyne (Release 07/12/2022)

    I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really wanted to like this book, horror isn’t typically my favorite genre because I spook really easily, but this novel’s premise sounded interesting enough to make me want to try it. I didn’t expect to find…

    I was provided an eARC of this book by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really wanted to like this book.

  • Review: At the End of Everything by Marieke Nijkamp (Release 01/04/2022)

    I received an ARC from Sourcebooks Fire through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’m struggling with my feelings about this book because my main opinion about it is that it isn’t bad, I may have even liked it at a different point in time, but that publishing it now, especially as new variants…

    I received an ARC of this novel through NetGalley from the publisher’s giveaway, in exchange for an honest review. I had read the author’s debut novel a few months back and found myself deeply immersed in the world-building and suspense of The Wicker King and its companion novella The Iron Raven. Knowing that creeping dread…

  • Review: Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas (Release 03/23/2021)

    I received an E-arc from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This was one of my most anticipated books of the year after reading Aiden’s debut novel Cemetery Boys last year.

  • Review: Even If We Break by Marieke Nijkamp (Released 09/15/2020)

    The disability, neurodivergent, and trans/non-binary rep is where this book shines. As someone with EDS, the same chronic illness as Finn, I’ve never seen myself represented on the page. I’ve never seen a character that’s been allowed to be a crutch user, and face the reality that he may eventually need a wheelchair, but also…
