Sam reviews Robins in the Night by Dajo Jago
I first read Robins in the Night by Dajo Jago shortly after it came out in 2015.

Sam reviews Burning Roses by S. L. Huang
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I don’t want to spoil too much about Burning Roses by S.L. Huang, because first and foremost it is short.

Sam reviews The Thousand Eyes by A. K. Larkwood
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link When I reviewed The Unspoken Name by A. K. Larkwood, this is what I wrote: The novel ends with the promise of more adventures to come, and I would certainly love to see more of these characters and this world. But if it turns out this was aRead More
Larkie reviews Passing Strange by Ellen Klages
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Passing Strange is a novella that feels like it has it all: a bit of mystery, a lot of history, and just a hint of magic.
