Danika reviews Once and Future by A.R. Capetta and Cori McCarthy
That’s what resistance looks like, Merlin. It’s not one glorious, shining victory. It’s a torch you keep burning, no matter what. I’m not even sure how to approach writing about this book, because it is so ambitious. Once & Future is a queer, sci fi retelling of the Arthur myth, with a female Arthur. It’sRead More
Babusha reviews the Kate Kane series by Alexis Hall
Look, the books I’m talking about here were released at a time when – I thought I was straight I thought Twilight was the epitome of vampire romance. So after four years of going through some intense self-reflection and some brief boycotting of vampires altogether, I realised that I still loved vampires–I just like themRead More
Marthese reviews Tracker and the Spy (Dragon Horse War trilogy #2) by D. Jackson Leigh
“Not a sparkler, a blazer” Tracker and Spy is the second book in the Dragon Horse War Trilogy. I have to say that I liked it better than the first book, mostly because the main characters were Tan and Kyle, which I liked better as a pair than Jael and Alyssa. We still see partsRead More

Danika reviews Fat Angie: Rebel Girl Revolution by e.E. Charlton-Trujillo
When I finished Fat Angie, I felt a bit conflicted about it. I liked the character and thought the language use was interesting, but it was so dark that I felt like I couldn’t find even a glimmer of hope. Despite the many strong elements of the novel–who can resist queer girls kissing to the theme songRead More
Danika reviews Top Ten by Katie Cotugno
I’ll get this out of the way first: Top Ten is about Gabby and Ryan: their unexpected friendship, and their constant will-they, won’t-they. It starts on the night of their graduation, when their complex friendship gains a whole other complication, and then describes the “top ten” moments of their friendship, not in chronological order. This isRead More
Danika reviews Fat Angie by e.E. Charlton-Trujillo
When I initially picked up Fat Angie, I was put off by the language. At first, I thought it was outdated slang, cringingly unrealistic. As I kept reading though, I realized that it wasn’t dated, because I don’t think anyone has ever spoken like that. Instead, it has more in common with buffyisms–a kind of fictional teenRead More
Megan G reviews Nepantla: An Anthology for Queer Poets of Color edited by Christopher Soto
As soon as I came across this anthology and its haunting cover I knew I had to pick it up. As soon as I realized that the title of this anthology (and the journal it originated from) came from a quote from Gloria Anzaldúa, I knew I’d made the right choice. The poems in thisRead More
