Review: Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert
Wicked Beauty by Katee RobertErotic Science Fiction & FantasyJune 7, 2022Sourcebooks CasablancaDreamscape Media, LLC Review by Jen This series by Katee Robert continues to absolutely delight me! I love this world. Book three, Wicked Beauty, stars Achilles, Patroclus, and Helen. Fair warning on two things- first, it most definitely takes major liberties with the traditional mythology around these characters. Inspired by Greek mythology, but that’s where it ends. And, it’s a Continue Reading

Under the Whispering Door by TJ KluneLGBT Contemporary FantasySeptember 21, 2021, by Tor BooksARCReview by Angela Last year's The House in the Cerulean Sea was a warm, wonderful, gentle embrace with the softest romance and I positively adored it. My anticipation for Under the Whispering Door couldn't have been higher, I'm writing this review in May if that tells you anything. And I have to say I enjoyed it just as much, for different reasons, but still had that feeling of comfort when I read Continue Reading
