Be Gay Do Heists: Hammajang Luck by Makana Yamamoto Review

June 29, 2025 by Caelin

There are few things more satisfying than watching a plan unfold with no hiccups—or with a few hiccups that get resolved in the most epic of ways. Heist plots are perfect for creating that irresistible balance of intrigue, action, and suspense that makes me keep on turning the page. Hammajang Luck by Makana Yamamoto is aRead More

A Cyberpunk Heist: Hammajang Luck by Makana Yamamoto Review

April 23, 2025 by Emory Rose

I picked up Hammajang Luck by Makana Yamamoto during the Trans Rights Readathon, as the dramatic setup for this cyberpunk heist novel compelled me. It ended up being one of the most memorable stories I read for the event. Edie’s last heist ended with them being sold out by their childhood friend, Angel, and spending eight yearsRead More

A Race Between Witches and Witch Hunters: VenCo by Cherie Dimaline Review

January 21, 2025 by Rachel Friars

When Lucky discovers that the twoRead More

A Compelling Queer Indigenous Fantasy: To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose Review

January 20, 2025 by Maggie

I love a magic school book, and I love a dragon book, and I especially love a dragon school book. To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose was such a great entry to the genre. I couldn’t put it down, and I keep thinking about its innovative world-building. Anequs is the protagonist I didn’t know I’veRead More

A Lush Horror Novella Embracing Death and Renewal: Green Fuse Burning by Tiffany Morris Review

December 1, 2024 by Emory Rose

“Why did people need to be in nature to process the things that happened to them? Maybe it was because what was thought of as wild did not require a veil—it saw you as you truly were: an animal skulking among animals.”  Though I haven’t read a lot of horror, there is plenty of horrorRead More

The Beauty of Decay: Green Fuse Burning by Tiffany Morris

October 30, 2024 by Danika Ellis

Last weekend was Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, which I’ve done every year for the past ten years. For the October readathon, I save up horror and other Halloween-themed books all year to marathon that day. Green Fuse Burning seemed like a perfect choice: it’s a 99-page horror novella with an Indigenous and sapphic main character.Read More
