Content warning: this review includes discussion of suicide, violence, and rape. Ever since I heard the premise of One’s Company, it’s been on my TBR.

In this dual POV romance, Cat starts working at a video game company, hired to add in romance plot lines to a fantasy game in progress.

Within these pages, you will read about what happened from my perspective, as well as from those whose stories collided with my own. And that is how we got here, to this book you now hold in your hands. My memoir, but more than that—it is a monument. Carved from a mass of bad decisionsRead More

With the weather getting colder and the… general state of the world, I’ve been gravitating towards cozy fantasy lately, which is why I finally picked up a book that’s been on my TBR for far too long: Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne.
