After a surprising divorce, losing her job, and unable to cast even the simplest of spells correctly, Ramona finds herself working retail in her own personal hell—a fake “magic” shop, selling crystals and manifestation journals at 35. That is, until a spellbook in the donation bin seems suspiciously real. When Ramona drunkenly tries one ofRead More
Orcs for the Sapphic Gaze: Legends & Lattes: The Graphic Novel Review
I loved Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree when I read it a few years ago: it really made me fall in love with cozy fantasy, especially queer cozy fantasy. So the graphic novel adaptation (out October 6th) has been one of my most-anticipated releases of the year. I’m happy to say I liked itRead More
A Enthralling Collection of Hauntings and Transformations: Skin Thief by Suzan Palumbo
To me, a good short story collection should be like a box of chocolates: cohesive as a whole, but with a variety of flavor and a few surprises along the way. Skin Thief by Suzan Palumbo is an excellent chocolate box of a book. Collecting twelve dark fantasy and horror short stories published between 2018Read More
An F/F Love Letter to Bioshock: This Gilded Abyss by Rebecca Thorne Review
This Gilded Abyss is Rebecca Thorne’s F/F lovers-to-enemies(-to-lovers) letter to Bioshock—this isn’t me being snarky, the dedication is “For everyone who fought for their lives in Rapture.” In this case, the Rapture analogue is Fall, a domed city at the bottom of the ocean, only reachable by the immense submersible Luminosity at the end ofRead More
A Cozy Sapphic Romantasy: The Keeper of Magical Things by Julie Leong
Maybe you are like me, and suffering from a lack of motivation to read much during the long hot summer, in which case I invite you to look up Julie Leong’s delightful fantasy books.

(Mis)fortune Favours the Bold: Misery’s Wife by Joan Tierney
I’ve had my eye on Misery’s Wife since I first saw it pop up on my feed: a Portuguese inspired fairytale featuring three sisters who had been whisked away to marry mysterious kings—one of the ocean, one of the sky, and one of misery—only for their youngest sister to receive a message to save her third sisterRead More
Disaster Sword Lesbians: Call Me Traitor by Everina Maxwell
I have greatly enjoyed Everina Maxwell’s past books (Winter’s Orbit and Ocean’s Echo), so I was really excited to hear that she was back and writing ladies now. Out Dec 1, Call Me Traitor is a delightful romp and I would like to thank Tor for the ARC. Pencil this one into your calendars if you like dark academia, courtRead More
Dark Academia meets Appalachian Horror: The Forest Bleeds by Rachel Kitch
Having reached my tolerance limit with two back-to-back romance reviews, I now return to home territory: all things gnarly and body horror-related. This time, we are dealing with rotting limbs, forest cryptids, blood magic, the horrors of pursuing a PhD, and one of the slimiest, grossest fictional billionaires I have had the misfortune of discoveringRead More
An Innovative Reincarnation Romance: The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri
Once upon a time, there was a witch and a knight. They loved each other, and that love led to their deaths. But that death was not permanent, because they were born again, loved again, and died again. And again. And again. And again. Because on the isle, stories are as real and as repetitiveRead More
Sapphics on the Seven Seas: The Siren’s Kiss by Leslie Vedder Review
The Siren’s Kiss by Leslie Vedder (out September 1) is a book I was hoping would break a reading slump, and it did just that. e follow Rayleigh, who has been cursed to captain the ghost ship of the famed pirate Red-Handed Roger unless she can retrieve his heart from the Sea Witch, and Maren,Read More
