When I was at the university studying literature, I took a lot of classes on the writing of minority groups. The question often came up: what makes this book representative of the group? In other words, if a Native American writes a Harlequin romance with an all white cast, is that truly a Native AmericanRead More
Danika reviews Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy by Judith C. Brown
Between being an English major (recently graduated!) and a book blogger, it has been years now since I’ve been able to just pick a book to read because I was in the mood for it. I always had a stack of school books and review books I had to get through first. Finally, IRead More
Danika reviews The Magistrate (Book 1 of the Prisonworld Trilogy) by Keira Michelle Telford
When I read the blurb for The Magistrate, I was instantly intrigued. Poverty is rife in twenty-fourth century London, England. Crime rates are at an all-time high, and living conditions for many are bleak. Capital punishment and public hangings have been reinstated, and Magistrates, in their new role, are tasked with patrolling the streets to enforce arrestRead More
Tag reviews Women On the Edge of Space: Lesbian Erotic Science Fiction Stories edited by Cecilia Tan and Danielle Bodnar
I have to admit that I’m not the biggest fan of science fiction. There are a million reasons: the cheese factor in sci-fi tends to be higher than my secondhand embarrassment can handle, it’s too sci and not enough fi, or too fi and not enough sci. Science fiction is a careful balance of gettingRead More
Danika reviews If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizan
I was a little worried to start this book, actually. If You Could Be Mine is a book about two teenage girls in love in Iran. Homosexuality is illegal, but sex changes are legal and even partially funded by the government. The questions is, how far will Sahar go to be able to stay with Nasrin,Read More
Casey reviews Le Bleu est un Couleur Chaude (Blue is the Warmest Colour) by Julie Maroh
I had admittedly never heard of French author and graphic artist Julie Maroh’s graphic novel, Le Bleu est un Couleur Chaude (it’s being translated as Blue is the Warmest Colour, although the title more literally says “blue is a warm colour”) until I read about the film version’s win of the Palme D’Or—the top prize—atRead More
Anna M. reviews At Seventeen by Gerri Hill
I’m not sure exactly how it happened, but I established a habit of purchasing and reading every Gerri Hill book as it’s released. I tend to like her generic romances more than those with thriller elements, but I foresee myself reading her new books until I am seriously disappointed by something she writes. The curseRead More

Lena reviews Roadkill by Alexandra Allred
The general conceit about most established fictional detectives is their lack of home life. Either because of the job or because of their need for the job, Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot and Sam Spade don’t really have a lot else going on. The opposite is true for Allie Lindell, Alexandra Allred’s doggedly determined protagonistRead More
Marcia reviews Desire: Stories of Longing by K.L. Joy
Opening with a cover that features rope bondage, and the party following the collaring ceremony of two of lead character Vivianne’s friends, it is immediately clear that Desire: Stories of Longing by K.L. Joy is not straight-forward (pardon the pun) erotica. The short novel follows new Domme Vivianne as her life in the BDSM sceneRead More
