In the Silences by Rachel Gold
Lesbrary Reviews

Danika reviews In the Silences by Rachel Gold

July 23, 2019 by Danika Ellis

While Rachel Gold usually writes about gender and sexuality, In the Silences expands this by also tackling race. Although it does have a non-binary, genderfluid main character who is discovering and accepting their gender identity, it is just as much about Kaz learning about race, racism, and whiteness. While I originally was a bit worried about aRead More

Shira Glassman reviews Proper English by KJ Charles

July 20, 2019 by Danika Ellis

I can think of no more convincing way to start my review/endorsement of KJ Charles’ new book Proper English than these words I added to a reblog of an aesthetic post on Tumblr: “I just read this yesterday! Folks, y’all know there’s an Edwardian lesbian romance that is also a country house murder mystery where the lesbians solve itRead More

Megan G reviews Unspeakable by Abbie Rushton

July 18, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Megan hasn’t spoken in months. Not since that horrible day. She worries that if she starts talking, she won’t be able to stop, and there are some things she simply cannot tell anybody. Except suddenly Jasmine moves to town; kind and talkative Jasmine. And for some reason, Megan finds herself wanting to speak again. ThisRead More

Marthese reviews Firework by Melissa Brayden

July 12, 2019 by Danika Ellis

“There were olives in her drink, she could fashion an olive branch” It’s summer (here), which means beach reading! Granted, I live on an island and have not yet gone to swim but you get what I mean: giving romances another try. I settled on Firework by Melissa Brayden because it’s a novella and itRead More

Lesbrary Reviews

Mallory Lass reviews Fearless Defenders by Cullen Bunn, illustrated by Will Sliney and Stephanie Hans.

July 11, 2019 by Danika Ellis

As you may know from some of my earlier reviews, I am new-ish to comics and therefore discovering old gems all the time. Fearless Defenders (2013) is a 12 issue run that has been captured into two trade paperback volumes. Some of the individual issue covers are nothing short of amazing, including a romance novelRead More

Susan reviews Hell’s Highway by Gerri Hill

July 10, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Hell’s Highway by Gerri Hill is the sequel to Devil’s Rock, a procedural following FBI agents Andrea Sullivan and Cameron Ross (that I reviewed here!). In Hell’s Highway, they are working and living together in Cameron’s fortified motorhome-slash-giant-mobile-computer-lab, when they’re sent to track down a possible serial killer preying on women along the I-40. I…Read More

Danika reviews “The Freedom of the Shifting Sea” by Jaymee Goh

July 6, 2019 by Danika Ellis

New Suns is an anthology of speculative fiction by people of colour, and it does include a few queer women short stories, but one really stood out to me: “The Freedom of the Shifting Sea” by Jaymee Goh. The author describes it as “A pornographic triptych of three different individuals encountering a creature part human,Read More
