In Brighter Than Scale, Swifter than Flame, Neon Yang gives us a bright, fast-paced novella about dragons and knights and clandestine feelings.

Family Can Be Monstrous: Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell
In some ways, I have a harder time describing this book now than I did before I read it. That isn’t to say that it’s dense or confusing. But the tone is unique, which makes it hard to categorize. You could call this a sapphic monster romance, but that doesn’t feel quite right. It’s definitelyRead More
A Toxic Polyamorous Bisexual Gothic Fantasy: Savage Blooms by S.T. Gibson Review
Since this is the Lesbrary, I’ll start by saying this has a M/F/M/F, bisexual, polyamorous, why choose relationship. That’s six different pairings, and the F/F relationship doesn’t get a lot of page time in this, though it’s the first book in a trilogy. I look forward to it being explored more in the next twoRead More

After that came Chef’s Kiss by Stephanie Shea. The last one I got to in the month was The Memories of Marlie Rose by Morgan Lee Miller. While I loved all three,Read More

For those who do know her, it’ll be no surprise that Malburi’s debut fantasy novel gives readers exactly what they’re looking for.
