Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
Assistant to the Villain is another book that took a backseat on my TBR for far too long. It got pushed back again and again on my reading list in favor of upcoming releases. Clearing my November schedule of deadlines gave me the time to finally get to it. I’m very glad that I did.…

How to Dream by Thich Nhat Hanh
I’ve made no secret of feeling burnt out lately. In fact, this review is coming a couple weeks after I’ve finished the book. This month, I needed a book that wasn’t going to feel too heavy, and I wanted to know I would like it. That made it an easy choice. I had an unread…

Daughter of Stone by B.A. Pepper
I know I’ve said it many times, but I had a very full schedule of ARCs in October. The final one was Daughter of Stone, which published on the very last day of the month. I was drawn to it because it was described as having witchy vibes, deadly magical trials, and lore inspired by…

Oblivion’s Hymn by A.J. Peterson
I need to give a very big thank you to The Nerd Fam for getting the eARC Oblivion’s Hymn into my hands. October has been a hectic month, but I knew this was a book I needed to read. The gorgeous cover certainly drew my eye, but it was the promise of a unique magic…

Child of Shivay by JR Cathers
Advance reader copies (ARCs) of Child of Shivay by JR Cathers were sent out in waves. Each wave went to a new round of applicants. Since my reading schedule for October was already very full, I tried to ignore the first few waves. However, a couple friends of mine jumped on the book right away.…

If the Dead Belong Here by Carson Faust
I can’t pinpoint exactly what it was that first drew me to apply for an advance reader copy (ARC) of If the Dead Belong Here by Carson Faust. It’s a great title and a gorgeous cover of course, but on the surface it looks to be outside of my usual genres and favored tropes. Perhaps…

The Serpent’s Bride by Kathryn Ann Kingsley
When I submitted my application for an advance reader copy (ARC) of this book, I knew I already had two other ARCs on my schedule to read and review for their release within the next week. (The Call of Wind releases on Friday, August 29th and Isle of Ember releases Tuesday, September 2nd.) Still, that…

Isle of Ember by Alycia E. Anderson
I have anxiously been awaiting the release of Isle of Ember since I read the first book of the series back in April. As soon as I’d finished the advance reader copy (ARC) of that one, I let the author know how much I’d loved it and told her to please sign me up for…

The Call of Wind by K. R. House
I was very excited to be approved as an ARC (advance reader copy) reader for The Call of Wind by K. R. House. For a while now, I’ve been following her journey toward publication on TikTok. In addition to her videos about the process, she also makes a game of creating magic systems on the…

Marked by Alyson Dawn
For a while now, I’ve been connected with Alyson Dawn on TikTok because we have a mutual love of books and stories. Every so often, I would see her post about a book she was working on writing. Everything she said about it piqued my interest. When she put word out that it was ready…

House of the Beast by Michelle Wong
I have really been looking forward to this one. I would like to give a very big thank you to The Nerd Fam and Harper Collins for the gifted eARC! This one will be coming out on August 5th and is currently available for pre-order. It’s being offered in hardcover, eBook, audiobook, and a gorgeous…

A big thank you to The Nerd Fam for the gifted copy of the eARC! Lore of the Tides is now available for purchase, having officially released on July 8th. This is the sequel to Lore of the Wilds and the final installment in the duology. I covered Lore of the Wilds last week. Content…
