An Enchantment of Ravens — Margaret Rogerson

Spoiler-free review! I was gladdened by the sight of those vicious thorns more than I could say, and wondered whether the stories would have gone any differently if the princesses had been the ones telling them. A book about star-crossed lovers, art, and a fae prince who shape shifts into a raven? YES, please! ✘ plot In Whimsy, humans practice Craft: cooking, artistry, writing stories, even designing clothing – all of which the fair folk are drawn to, despite their...

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue – Mackenzi Lee

I’m very sorry to direct you here instead of posting this on Goodreads, but GR has recently taken to cracking down heavily on any negative reviews that specifically mention the author’s behavior. Alas, I’m only posting this on my own personal blog. update: june 18th, 2019 I loved The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue a lot when it came out. I hadn’t seen much bi rep in books at that time, and as a bi woman, it felt good to...

The Bone Season – Samantha Shannon

“This was what my spirit longed to do, to wander in strange lands. It couldn’t stand being trapped in one body all the time. It had wanderlust.” This was the Life & Lit book of the month for July, and while I honestly didn’t know what to expect and wasn’t feeling particularly enthusiastic about starting this series, I was shocked by how much I loved this book!

Confess — Colleen Hoover

When Auburn Mason Reed returns to Dallas after the loss of her first love, she's desperate for work - anything to get her rent paid so that she can stay in this city that she hates, this city so far from home, this city that she refuses to leave. When she walks right past the art studio with its HELP WANTED sign, she says it's luck; when she realizes the artist shares her middle name, he says it's fate. Just one evening with Owen Mason Gentry, and both of their lives are sent into a tailspin full of delight and regret, lies and confessions, heartache and a shot at love - and all of it comes at a price.

A Court of Thorns and Roses — Sarah J. Maas

19-year-old Feyre's only concern is keeping her father and sisters fed, but a hunting trip in the forest that separates the human realm from that of the Faerie realm goes awry when she comes across a wolf that might not be of her world at all. Killing the wolf proves to be the most risky choice Feyre has ever made, when a shapeshifting Faerie comes across the wall to take her back with him: a life for a life, in exchange for the disguised Faerie she murdered in the woods. As Feyre adjusts to her new home in Prythian, she finds out that all she has known of the Faeries may not be as it seems - and she is plunged into a war that began long before her birth. Can she survive as a mere mortal girl in the world of Faeries, or will she be ripped apart like so many before her?
