Marthese reviews The Other Side: An Anthology of Queer Paranormal Romance edited by Melanie Gillman and Kori Michele Handwerker

January 26, 2017 by Danika Ellis

“Anyway, I’m pretty sure malevolent spirits wouldn’t scrub your bathtub” The Other Side: An Anthology of Queer Paranormal Romance is, as the name implies, a queer paranormal romance comic anthology, published in July 2016. I had donated to a crowd-funding campaign for this anthology and I’ve been meaning to read it since it arrived inRead More

Tierney reviews The Roundabout by Gerri Hill

January 25, 2017 by Danika Ellis

[Trigger warning for sexual assault and online harassment.] The Roundabout is a gentle, lighthearted romance – with one serious flaw, which unfortunately is a deal-breaker. In the small and very gay town of Eureka Springs, an unattached queer woman is apparently a hot commodity. Megan Phenix is being courted by a variety of women whomRead More

Kalyanii reviews Solitaire by Kelley Eskridge

January 23, 2017 by Danika Ellis

    With the turn of the new year, I decided it was high-time I broaden my literary horizons. After all, I came of age in the ‘80’s and attended a university that deemed literary fiction (often times penned by male authors of western European descent) to be the be-all-and-end-all of that worthy of one’sRead More

Shira Glassman reviews The Dyke and the Dybbuk by Ellen Galford

January 21, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Ellen Galford’s The Dyke and the Dybbuk is, for only being eighteen years old, fairly iconic and hallowed in the tiny subgenre in which I spend most of my writing time. In other words, it may very well be the first great piece of sapphic Jewish fantasy. If I’m wrong, I’d love to know about more! InRead More

Megan Casey reviews Megan Casey reviews Command of Silence, by Paulette Callen

January 18, 2017 by Danika Ellis

After reading only a few chapters of this book, I wondered why it was not a best seller. It has all the trappings of one. Think of the play Elephant Man: it is a less-than-wonderfully-written play, but the subject matter guarantees it a wide audience just as a train wreck guarantees a gaggle of rubberneckers.Read More

Julie Thompson reviews The Liberators of Willow Run by Marianne K. Martin

January 16, 2017 by Danika Ellis

***A little bit of spoilers ahead*** Can you use an electric mixer? If so, you can learn to operate a drill. During World War II, the United States “enlisted” women to help with the war effort on the homefront. At the Willow Run plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Audrey Draper is securing her independence with eachRead More

Stephanie reviews Her Sigh: A Lesbian Anthology by Victoria Zagar

January 12, 2017 by Danika Ellis

As most of you know, I LOVE short story collections, so when I came across Her Sigh: A Lesbian Anthology by Victoria Zagar, I thought I’d give it a go.  Short stories don’t get a lot of love in lesbian literature, (most folks want to read romance novels), so I’m always excited when I seeRead More

Susan reviews Mahou Josei Chimaka by Kaiju

January 11, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Mahou Josei Chimaka by Kaiju is a graphic novel riffing on all of the magical girl stories you know and love: as a teenage magical girl, Chimaka collected all of the artifacts she needed to save the world, went to battle her Destined Foe… And lost. Badly. After that, she broke up with her DestinedRead More

Danika reviews Goldie Vance Vol. 1 by Hope Larson (Author) and Brittney Williams (illustrator)

January 9, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Aahh, it’s been a long time since I’ve read a book with surprise queer content. It’s such a great surprise. Goldie Vance is an all-ages comic that has been described as Lumberjanes meets Nancy Drew, which I think is a pretty solid assessment. It also gave me hints of Veronia Mars, but that may justRead More
