Much as I despise cold weather, there’s something really wonderful about the rituals of early autumn. You pack up your shorts and sundresses. You begin wearing scarves and boots. You convince yourself that flannel is fashionable outside the lesbian bar. You slurp Oktoberfest ales every evening, and pumpkin spiced lattes every morning. You reach forRead More
Anna M. reviews Lady Knight by L-J Baker
I picked up L-J Baker’s Lady Knight (published in 2007) at a used book store recently and was pleasantly surprised by its successful blend of fantasy and alt-historical realism. The book is sent in a medieval-esque period in which divine power is real and kingdoms stand at the brink of a new holy war. RiannonRead More
Art&Lies reviews Pennance by Clare Ashton
Clare Ashton’s Pennance is set at the farthest reaches of southwest England, in the title’s eponymous village, which unfortunately turns out to be the most interesting feature of the book. We meet twenty-something Lucy in the midst of her breakdown over the death of her boyfriend, who we later find burned to death in aRead More

Marcia reviews Love Devours: Tales of Monstrous Adoration by Sarah Diemer
I really wanted to like Love Devours: Tales of Monstrous Adoration, a short collection of short stories with a dark fantasy/sci-fi theme by Sarah Diemer. That isn’t to say that the collection is wholly without merit, but some combination of the stories themselves and how they were organized seemed determined to hit me somewhere around “prettyRead More
Danika reviews “Good Girl” by Malinda Lo
“Good Girl” by Malinda Lo is a short story contained in the collection Diverse Energies edited by Tobias S. Buckell & Joe Monti. It’s a dystopian collection, and I can never resist dystopian stories. Add in that there’s a lesbian story by a known author, and I couldn’t resist! In dystopians, I feel like the worldRead More
Kristi reviews Chasing by Sonje Jones
In Chasing by Sonje Jones, Cornelia Osgood (Oz to her friends) is a PI working her way through cases — and her clients. She is dealing with a singer who is receiving increasingly uncomfortable letters from a mystery fan; a nosy wife who wants tabs kept on her philandering husband; and a few other drop-inRead More
Danika reviews First Spring Grass Fire by Rae Spoon
From about the first page of First Spring Grass Fire, I was already frustrated, for three reasons: 1) it is very well-written, 2) it is very short, and 3) it is, at the moment, Rae Spoon’s only book. I was dreading getting to the end of the book pretty much the moment I started it. I firstRead More

Danika reviews Haunted Hearths & Sapphic Shades: Lesbian Ghost Stories edited by Catherine Lundoff
This book was not what I was expecting. Which isn’t a fault of Haunted Hearths & Sapphic Shades, I don’t think, but it was surprising. I picked up Haunted Hearths expecting… ghost stories. You know, campfire, spooky, ghost stories! In fact, there aren’t very many stories in this collection that are very scary, or thatRead More
