Positive Lightning –- After first reading the title, I had to start with researching what the heck “positive lightning” actually is. Was it just a play on words? In short, no – positive lightning is a rare phenomenon where an extraordinarily powerful lightning strike runs from cloud to ground (rather than the other way around), and theyRead More

Anna M. reviews Homestead by Radclyffe
Radclyffe’s Homestead is a departure from the romances featuring doctors and first responders and so on that usually characterize her books. It’s a sequel of sorts to 2007’s When Dreams Tremble (which I don’t think I’ve read–sometimes it’s hard to tell them all apart), exploring the same upstate New York setting and featuring that coupleRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews Wet Paint by Sera Breen
Wet Paint is a fun, light romance novella, which would be perfect for a beach read (too bad that’s a bit out of season now). It plays into typical romance tropes, describing characters’ appearances in detail (who are all breathtakingly beautiful, of course), and sets up the free spirit artist who has just gotten outRead More

Lena reviews Broken Star by Joann Lee
It’s been said that there are only seven basic stories and everything we write falls somewhere within their confines. I’m generally a bit more optimistic about our creative prowess, but sometimes there are stories so formulaic that I think even seven basic plots is generous and perhaps it’s more like four. Broken Star, by JoannRead More
