I read the first three books of C.L. Wilson’s Tairen Soul fantasy romance series ages ago, but I fell off the wagon for one reason or another. And I love the idea of fantasy romances; invented world fantasies are some of my favorites, and I’m a sucker for stories about… Read more »
As I started reading this, it seemed very familiar. Like, creepy déjà vu familiar, so I went poking around and found out that The Girl With All The Gifts is an expanded version of Mike Carey’s short story “Iphigenia in Aulis,” which I must have read at some point. But déjà vu… Read more »
I’d been itching for a good fantasy novel lately, so when Thief’s Magic popped up on NetGalley, I thought I’d give it a try. I ended up enjoying it a lot, but the structure of the book itself is a bit on the nonstandard side, and I spent most of the… Read more »
Do you hear that, guys? It’s the sound of an angelic chorus ringing out through the skies. I have finally found BDSM erotica that not only doesn’t suck but is feminist-friendly. I’ll give you all a moment to take that in. Now, on with the review. I came across… Read more »
Do you ever read a really good book by an author, but they didn’t have any other full length novels out at the time you finished said book, so you don’t think about that author or any potential new books they might have until months later, when, like magic, they’ve released another full… Read more »
How much did I love this book? A polyamorous couple, both of whom are people of color, bisexuality being portrayed as something totally natural, sex work being dealt with as a complex issue… And that’s not even getting into how hot the sex scenes are. To put it simply, I… Read more »
I’m afraid to report that my quest for BDSM erotica that doesn’t make me want to throw the book (or, I should say, my Kindle) across the room continues. What started off as a somewhat promising premise in the first of two shibari-centric stories – a younger woman, Ava, seeking… Read more »
I was poking around in my library’s digital collection the other day and stumbled across this book. Â The cover on the re-released version, which I saw, is obviously meant to evoke a Twilight/50 Shades of Grey sort of feel, and that made me cringe. (Seriously, publishers, STOP DOING THAT.) Â But… Read more »
I like urban fantasy, and I like police procedural shows, so it stands to reason that I’d enjoy a police procedural with fantasy elements.  And I really do enjoy urban fantasy cop novels, or at least ones that are as entertaining as Dirty Magic is.  I’ve seen books by Jaye Wells… Read more »
As a quick note before I get started with my actual review, I’ve noticed a lot of reviews say this isn’t your typical BDSM story because, basically, it’s not 50 Shades of Grey. Well… this should be the typical BDSM romance, because 50 Shades of Grey is an absolutely terrible portrayal… Read more »
