Book Review: Flamesworn (Immortals Descending #5) by Iris Foxglove
Read my reviews of previous books in the Immortals Descending series: Storm Front (#1) | Shadowfall (#2) | Daybreak (#3) | Tempest (#4) One of the (many) things I love about this series is how the authors take risks with their storytelling.

Book Review: Justice (Damned Connections #2) by Lark Taylor
Read my review of the first book in the Damned Connections series, Patience. The vampire Sebastian has never been the villain of any of the books in this shared world, but he’s always leaned pretty heavily toward anti-hero. I found the hint at the end of the previous book that…

Read my reviews of the previous books in the Carnal Tower series: Shades of Lust (#1) | Waiting on Forever (#2) | Taste of Greed (#3) As a firm believer that sex work is work, I adore the simultaneously realistic and aspirational world of the Carnal Tower. We’re now halfway through the series,…

Book Review: Lust (Seven Deadly Sins #1) by Sienna Moreau
A romance series set around representations of the seven deadly sins isn’t a new concept, but one of the best parts of speculative fiction is how uniquely authors can put their own spin on things. In this case, Moreau develops an open-world urban fantasy in which the demigod sins have…
