Loud Pipes Save Lives by Jennifer Giacalone

SPONSORED REVIEW: Loud Pipes Save Lives by Jennifer Giacalone

March 21, 2020 by Danika Ellis

The city didn’t care. It lay serene as they all loved and teemed and scrambled and strove. Loud Pipes Save Lives is a thriller with a noir feel, following a New York cop, a vigilante women’s motorcycle club, and the many people tangled up in the ensuing investigation. From the beginning, I was pulled inRead More

The Derby Daredevils is a middle grade series following a junior roller derby team, with an #ownvoices queer main character.

Marthese reviews Not Your Average Love Spell by Barbara Ann Wright

March 14, 2020 by Danika Ellis

“Camille reminded herself that they had a lot of indoctrination to undo” Not Your Average Love Spell is a not-so-average book that I discovered thanks to Netgalley, for which I am grateful. From the start, this book was one adventure after another, yet it didn’t feel rushed and was well-paced. Not Your Average Love SpellRead More

March 11, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Zodiac Starforce Volume One: By the Power of Astra is about a team of astrology-inspired magical girls, who have already done that whole “saving the world” thing and are trying to get back to their regular lives. It’s excellent. I love the art and the character designs. All of the girls have really sensible, practical-lookingRead More

Sheila reviews Wolf by Chris Fenwick

March 8, 2020 by Danika Ellis

The first book in the State Changers series by Chris Fenwick is Wolf. I wanted to read this book to expand more outside of what I usually read. I used to read a lot of fantasy books when I was younger, and thought that this would be a great way to dip back into thisRead More
