Cozy Meets Eldritch Horror in Direct Descendant by Tanya Huff

May 12, 2025 by Susanne Salehi

A force to be reckoned with, Tanya Huff has been writing books for nearly forty years. I grew up among her worlds, inhaling words and dreaming of places that would welcome me one day. I still have tattered copies of No Quarter (1996) and Summon the Keeper (1998) on my bookshelves. So, it’s not much of a surprise thatRead More

In Defense of Messy Main Characters: Skye Falling by Mia McKenzie Review

February 20, 2025 by Danika Ellis

I can’t count how many people I’ve recommended The Summer We Got Free by Mia McKenzie since I read it ten years ago. It’s just such an atmospheric, beautifully written, absorbing story. And yet, when she came out with her next novel, Skye Falling, I inexplicably didn’t pick it up. Since then, Skye Falling hasRead More

In Defense of Horny Bisexual Characters: How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler Review

December 23, 2024 by Danika Ellis

I picked this book up for the premise: it’s pitched as Groundhog Day meets Deadpool and is about a chosen one character who has been brought to a fantasy world to save the kingdom.
