Review: Gabriela and His Grace by Liana De la Rosa
Gabriela and His Grace by Liana De la RosaHistorical Romance August 26, 2025 by Berkley Review by Melanie This review is going to be super annoying to write because for the first 85% of this book, I was so confident that this was going to be a 5 star book and already mentally penning the 5 star review in my head and….then the last 15% of the book happened and honestly, I am so irate. I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads because the first 85% is so strong and overall, this entire Continue Reading

Review: August Lane by Regina Black
August Lane by Regina BlackContemporary RomanceJuly 29, 2025, by Grand Central Publishing Review by Melanie I became an immediate fan of this author after reading her debut novel, The Art of Scandal and awaited her second novel with great anticipation. August Lane does not disappoint in that regard. If anything, it takes the drama found in her first novel and increases it by a hundred times. This book is all caps DRAMA. The titular heroine in August Lane is the daughter of a Continue Reading

A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu MandannaCozy FantasyJuly 15, 2025, by Berkley Review by Angela I discovered this author when I read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches a couple of years ago and absolutely fell in love with its charm and humor. I think when I found out that this author was publishing another book set in this world I was over the moon excited. I think this was one of my most anticipated reads of 2025. My expectations were high, and I was not Continue Reading

Review: Soulgazer by Maggie Rapier
Soulgazer by Maggie RapierFantasy RomanceJuly 8, 2025- AceARC Review by Angela I 100% picked this book for review based on the cover. I'm not even going to downplay my absolute adoration for this gorgeous, gorgeous work of cover art. This is the story of a young woman, Saoirse, who is burdened by her power. The power to see the souls of the dead and kill with just a touch. She's been told by her father, the king, that this affliction stems from her touching a soul stone as a girl. Continue Reading
Review: Human Rites by Juno Dawson
Human Rites by Juno DawsonFantasyJuly 1, 2025, by Penguin Books Review by Kate I read all three of the books in Her Majesty’s Royal Coven trilogy in a week, and Human Rites was an excellent conclusion to a spectacular trilogy. For me, one of the best things about these books is the way that Juno Dawson writes. It feels so cinematic, as if I’m watching a movie playing in my head. There’s just the right amount of description to let me imagine the settings, people and emotions Continue Reading
Review: Tusk Love by Thea Guanzon
Tusk Love by Thea GuanzonRomantic FantasyJuly 1, 2025- Random House WorldsARC Review by Angela Honestly, one look at this cover while scrolling through social media and I was instantly intrigued. I probably would have read it for the cover alone even if the blurb didn't shout at me that I needed to put it on my TBR. So, bravo to the art department at Random House Worlds. Quick note- I am not a Critical Role fan and really had no idea how this story fit into that world until I Continue Reading
