‘’Something within me sighed in relief and slotted into place like a bridge completes’’ My Summer of Love by Helen Cross was nothing like I expected. This was a library find and knowing that there was a lesbian movie with the same title, I borrowed it. Only, I had no idea what the movie was aboutRead More
Megan G reviews Sodom Road Exit by Amber Dawn
Buried under a mountain of debt, Starla Martin is forced to say goodbye to her life in Toronto and return to her hometown of Crystal Beach. To help her with her debt, her mother offers to find her a job with her at the local library, but Starla knows that just living with her motherRead More
Danika reviews Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant
I found Into the Drowning Deep because I was looking for deep sea fiction. I’ve had an interest in the deep ocean since I was a kid, and I was craving a book to satisfy that itch. Throw in some killer mermaids, and how I could resist giving this one a go? It wasn’t until after IRead More
Anna Marie Reviews PSYCHO NYMPH EXILE by Porpentine Charity Heartscape
“She resolved to never call something good again. If something was truly good there would be no need to call it good, and it wouldn’t need to pressure her to think so. It would help or hurt her, that was all. Things were only good if they drilled to the end of time and couldRead More
Danika reviews As I Descended by Robin Talley
When I heard a YA book was coming out that was a lesbian boarding school Macbeth retelling, I was already on board before I had even heard that it was by Robin Talley, the author of one of my favourite lesbian YA books. This isn’t a direct retelling of Macbeth, but it does cover mostRead More
Audrey reviews Maplecroft: the Borden Dispatches by Cherie Priest
Lizzie Borden took an axe, and then she killed her father and stepmother, and then she used her inheritance to buy a big house called Maplecroft. Parts one and three of that sentence happened in Fall River, Massachusetts, in the 1890s. Part two is debatable. She was acquitted. In Cherie Priest’s world, there are strangeRead More
Casey reviews The Haunting on Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Reviewing Shirley Jackson’s classic haunted house story The Haunting on Hill House seems a little seasonally inappropriate for the beginning of the New Year, but I’m going to go ahead and talk about it anyway, especially since it’s often not talked about as a queer / lesbian book, which is a shame, I think. IRead More
Abigail reviews Child of Doors by J.S. Little
This book was a wild read from start to finish. It has been a while since I read some truly weird speculative fiction like this. That’s about as specific as I can be about the genre of this book. It was part horror, part paranormal, part science fiction, part fantasy, and possibly meant to beRead More
Danika reviews Fist of the Spider Woman edited by Amber Dawn
This book freaked me out. Again, it was one I meant to read in October for my Halloween-y reads, but my inter-library loan didn’t come in until late November. It’s a bit of a shame, because it would have made for a fantastic Halloween read. It’s a short story collection (with a few poems)Read More
Danika reviews The Red Tree by Caitlin R. Kiernan
For October, in honor of Halloween, I’ve been picking up some appropriate books. This one I was especially excited about, because there aren’t a lot of lesbian horror books. Besides, the premise really appealed to me. Here, I’ll just paste part of the the blurb. Sarah Crowe left Atlanta, and the remnants of a tumultuousRead More
