Megan G reviews Cinnamon Blade: Knife in Shining Armour by Shira Glassman

June 21, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Cinnamon Blade keeps having to rescue Soledad Castillo, and with each rescue her attraction to the woman grows. Once she finally finds an appropriate setting to ask her out, things start to get crazy. Or, really, crazier. As soon as I saw that Cinnamon Blade: Knife in Shining Armor was a sort-of follow up to Knit One,Read More

Megan Casey reviews For Every Season by Frankie J. Jones

June 20, 2018 by Danika Ellis

When I pick up a Bella book, I sometimes wonder if I shouldn’t just assign it a rating of somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3.5 and go on to something else. I’m talking about Bella originals, now, not reprints. I usually come around to the hope that I might run into something really outstanding,Read More

Genevra Littlejohn reviews Beneath the Silver Rose by T.S Adrian

June 19, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Shadiya is a prized courtesan of the Silver Rose, one of dozens of elegant Sisters who serve the men–though never the women–of the land of Anderholm. Fiercer-tempered than any of her compatriots, Shadiya makes what would be reckoned by many in her position as a mistake; rather than allowing herself to be raped, she killsRead More

Ren reviews We Were Witches by Ariel Gore

June 17, 2018 by Danika Ellis

TW: self harm, violence against women, sexual assault ‘Beautiful’ does not even begin to encompass the captive, rhythmic style Ariel Gore possesses. I found it difficult to read quickly despite it being a relatively short work; every few pages there would be a line simple in structure but devastating in truth. I would be leftRead More

Mallory Lass reviews Lily and the Crown by Roslyn Sinclair

June 14, 2018 by Danika Ellis

I couldn’t find a way to write this review without spoilers, so you may want to proceed with caution if that’s a deal breaker. Also, this book wasn’t my jam. Despite featuring one of my favorite tropes (age-gap), being a space opera, and lots of people singing its praises, I couldn’t get into it. LilyRead More

Susan reviews My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness by Nagata Kabi

June 13, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Nagata Kabi’s My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness is an autobiographical manga about the creator’s life as a young queer Japanese woman with depression, who decides that the best way to resolve her difficulties connecting with people and her understanding of her own sexuality is to hire an escort. My Lesbian Experience With Loneless is aRead More

Julie Thompson reviews The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara

June 12, 2018 by Danika Ellis

My earliest memories of pirates include Muppet Treasure Island, The Goonies, and the treasure chest at the dentist’s office. Female swashbucklers, however, did not enter my consciousness until much, much later. I lived vicariously through sanitized depictions of redeemable and charming male anti-heroes. If you want more than tired tales of Black Beard or evenRead More

Alexa reviews Into the Mystic Volume 3 by NineStar Press

June 10, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Her ghost had once told Clotho that no proper ghost story has a happy ending, because ghosts don’t end.  It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for fantasy, paranormal and fairytales, so of course I had to pick up an anthology that has nine F/F stories with paranormal elements. While the stories hadRead More

Marthese reviews Gretel and “Dragon Essence” by Niamh Murphy

June 8, 2018 by Danika Ellis

”She had trusted two strangers in her house, offering them food and shelter. It was nonsense not to trust her.” – Gretel: A Fairytale Retold With GDPR the copious amounts of author newsletters were at best purgatory. The ‘please subscribe to us’ emails were really great to weed out authors that I am not so interestedRead More
