Megan G reviews Knit One, Girl Two by Shira Glassman

June 15, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Clara Ziegler is a part-time theater clerk, and a full-time knitter. Clara dyes yarn, and sells it as part of her sock club – a subscription service for yarn, where every other month you receive a surprise colour of yarn. The only problem? She used all her best ideas on the first round, and isRead More

Susan reviews Iron & Velvet by Alexis Hall

June 14, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Iron and Velvet by Alexis Hall is the first book in the Kate Kane series, following Kate Kane, private investigator, as she attempts to investigate the magic-induced murder of a young werewolf at a vampire nightclub (and hopefully avoids the three-way supernatural war that would result). I absolutely loved it. It’s very trope-heavy–Kate isn’t justRead More

Danika reviews Noteworthy by Riley Redgate

May 29, 2017 by Danika Ellis

This is a story that I still miss days after reading it. I was completely absorbed in the story, and I read most of it in one day. Jordan’s double life (disguised as a boy to join an all male capella group), the arts academy environment, and the world of a capella was all fascinating. AddRead More

Anna Marie reviews Sea-Witch Volume 1: may she lay us waste by moss angel witchmonstr

May 28, 2017 by Danika Ellis

“I have nothing to fear from monsters. It was people who broke my teeth with rocks.” [Before I get into the review I think its important to let folks know that I am not a trans woman! and therefore dont experience transmisogyny like moss angel does] Sea Witch is a wild and transformative novel aboutRead More

Through these witty and concise columns, readers follow Jacobs’ life with her partner, Bonnie, and their ever-present Schnauzers in Rehoboth Beach, a small town inRead More

Tierney reviews Turning for Home by Caren J. Werlinger

May 24, 2017 by Danika Ellis

It’s hard to summarize the plot of Turning for Home, chiefly because it’s kind of a hodgepodge of happenings without much tying them together beyond the fact that they are centered around a single main character – but I will try. *spoilers ahead, throughout this whole review* Jules returns to the small Ohio town inRead More
