Mallory Lass reviews Killer Instinct by Barbara Winkes
Content warning: violence against women, murder of women, homophobic father, abandoned by father, alcohol abuse Unsolved serial murders committed by one, or maybe two people, will keep you guessing in this thriller that takes place in the dead of winter.

Mallory Lass reviews America by Gabby Rivera, Illustrated by Joe Quinones and Annie Wu
I only recently (in the last 18 months) got into reading comic books. Honestly, I never understood the appeal, and no one I knew read them when I was younger. But, I am so glad I started. They are a little intimidating to figure out (I still couldn’t tell you their naming/numbering system, it makesRead More

Mallory Lass reviews the Alpennia Series by Heather Rose Jones
The Alpennia Series never stopped surprising me and often put a smile on my face or pulled a laugh from my lips. The theme of “found family” runs through this series and gave me so many warm and fuzzy feelings. I’ve also wanted to give at least one or two of the characters in eachRead More
Mallory Lass reviews Lily and the Crown by Roslyn Sinclair
I couldn’t find a way to write this review without spoilers, so you may want to proceed with caution if that’s a deal breaker. Also, this book wasn’t my jam. Despite featuring one of my favorite tropes (age-gap), being a space opera, and lots of people singing its praises, I couldn’t get into it. LilyRead More
Mallory Lass reviews Rescue Her Heart by KC Luck
Rescue Her Heart is a fun debut novel featuring a mysterious disappearance of both father and fuel, space girlfriends and pirate battles. I would call it science fiction light, so if you are interested in a lot of word building, this might not be for you. However, if you are a fan of adventure romanceRead More
