Megan Casey reviews Wanted by T.I. Alvarado
Bird Blacker—who has one of the oddest names in lesbian mystery fiction—is an ex-police officer now working as a bounty hunter, probably the first bounty hunter in the genre.

Amanda Clay reviews What We Left Behind by Robin Talley

Casey reviews Give It to Me by Ana Castillo
Doesn’t it always seem that the books that you have the highest expectations for are the ones that let you down? That was my experience reading Give It to Me by Ana Castillo, this year’s winner in the bisexual fiction category at the Lambda Literary awards. This novel left me with a lot of mixedRead More
