As a recent advocate for fantasy and a fantasy reader, I felt like it was finally time for me to explore the creators of the fantasy genre. While I love authors like Leigh Bardugo and VE Schwab and Kiersten White and Cassandra Clare for really modernizing the genre, I have to give props to the…

This was my first Talia Hibbert book. I know from my paranormal romance research that Talia Hibbert is more known for her steamy novels with hunky bros on the cover.

Good Morrow, gentle fellows! I woke up this morning looking over my Goodreads when I noticed I didn’t write a review for Well Met. How could I make such an error? It probably was vacation brain taking over trying to pack and figure out what reads to take with me. But I’m back from vacation…

The entire story read like you’re watching an anime. It was like Soul Eater plus Tokyo Ghoul and Assassination Classroom and any other horror/humor anime…

Dragons. Back when I was a kid, dragons were everywhere and it fatigued me. I didn’t get the obsession with dragons back then. Now, with Daenerys Targaryen mothering dragons in Game of Thrones, Seraphina by Rachel Hartman, and Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, I can feel the flutter of dragon wings across…

I have no idea how I’m going to write this review without giving too much away. But I’m dedicated to sharing with you all my thoughts so let’s see how this goes shall we? I picked up this book because of @thebiblioteque on Instagram is obsessed with Jennifer L Armentrout and I’m so thankful for…
