The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava ReidFantasyJune 8, 2021, by Del ReyARC The Wolf and the Woodsman is a fabulous debut fantasy. Full of everything I love when I'm seeking out a new epic adventure. There is such depth to this world-building and the plot arc is complex- full of sacrifice, past abuse, talk of cultural identity, and scenes of persecution and oppression. I don't know if I'll do a good job of it, but I'll try to hammer out some words in a workable review. Evike is the only Continue Reading

Review: Hannaford Prep, The Complete Series by J. Bree
Hanaford Prep: The Complete Series by J BreeNew Adult/ Young Adult Contemporary RomanceSelf Published Review by Jen Takes a drink. Where do I begin? Let's start with the title. I read several books, 1-4 to be exact. BUT, to say it’s complete isn’t exactly true. There are several storylines you can follow in multiple other books. There are many characters with complex backstories and you could be busy for months if you choose to be. This series was highly recommended in one Continue Reading
