Scale-Bright by Benjanun Sriduangkaew is a novella based on Chinese mythology that takes place in modern Hong Kong. This was an interesting premise and although I found it somewhat different from the fantasy that I usually real, it came recommended by a friend, so I gave it a go. The story follows Julianne Lau, aRead More
Marthese reviews Elves and Escapades by Eleanor Beresford
“you’ve grown up more than you want to admit” Elves and Escapades is the second book in the Scholars and Sorcerers series. The book is only 136 pages and you’ll fly through it like a Pegasus (heh). This book picks up after the events of the first one and is similar in its tender toneRead More
Marthese reviews Dare Seize the Fire by Cody L. Stanford
“gifts sometimes come with sharp edges” Dare Seize the Fire is a young adult adventure book with a hint of fantasy. The story is set in Philadelphia and follows Katie Zielinski which is also called Kasia, Katarzyna, Kat and my favourite: cutie-Kat.

Marthese reviews Pegasi and Prefects (Scholars and Sorcery #1) by Eleanor Beresford
“I take my questions and shining little badges with me” Keeping in line with my recent reviews, I read another short fantasy book. This time, I read Pegasi and Prefects which is the first in the Scholars and Sorcery series. I found it to be a somewhat good introduction but it focuses more on theRead More
Marthese reviews The Eldermaid by K.Henderson
“Death is never more than a breath away” I binge read this book in a day! I had wanted to read this book as soon as I read the blurb, but, well, I was late for my review. It helped that it was a very enjoyable story that made you want to read more. ThisRead More
Marthese Recommends Lesbian Witch Books!
I am currently reading Witches of Echo Park by Amber Benson which so far seems great, but I am only mid-way and the action is just starting. The book only has a secondary queer character – who so far has already flirted with the main character- but I get the queer vibe from many of theRead More
Marthese reviews The Princess Affair by Nell Stark
“You deserve a princess, Kerry, but a princess who will hold your hand in public” – Harris I admit that I am not much of a romance book reader, but this summer I was travelling and wanted to read something light that didn’t get me hooked, so I could drop it if I needed to.Read More
Marthese reviews Adijan and Her Genie by L-J Baker
I love queer fairytale retellings! Although I do not think this is much of a fairytale. It’s set in the Arabian Nights fantasy world and has a few elements of the folktale Aladdin, in the sense that there is a poor messenger who’s however a girl and there is a genie, who’s not really aRead More
Marthese reviews Stir-fry by Emma Donoghue
“In what day in what month of this queue of years would she find that she had become a rootless stranger, a speck in the urban sprawl?” – Stir-fry page 13 If there was one book that I read and I thought ‘this book is me’, this book is it. It is a book thatRead More
Marthese reviews The Girl on the Stairs by Louise Welsh
This book was my first thriller in a while if not ever and this affected how I saw this book. I had some reservations when I started reading this, due to the mixed reviews. I have to say that overall I enjoyed it. This book is about Jane, who is pregnant and lived with herRead More
