Susan reviews In The Name of The Father by Gerri Hill

April 12, 2017 by Danika Ellis

In The Name of The Father by Gerri Hill is the sequel to her 2007 novel Hunter’s Way (which I reviewed here at the Lesbrary!), with Hunter’s newest case being investing the murder of a Catholic priest, complicated by publicity issues, homophobia, outside interference, and the attempts to bury any suggestion that the victim mayRead More

Susan reviews Hunter's Way by Gerri Hill

February 15, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Hunter’s Way by Gerri Hill revolves around two homicide detectives: Tori Hunter and Samantha Kennedy. They are the classic opposites buddy-cop duo: Hunter is aggressive and antagonistic, burning through six partners in seven years but apparently being a good enough detective alone to make up for it. Samantha Kennedy is on the surface a muchRead More

December 15, 2016 by Danika Ellis

It revolves around a group of lesbian gangsters in Manchester, which is the perfect intersection of two of my interests and my hometown in ways that I didn’t even know I wanted. Donna and Carla lead the Bronte CloseRead More

Susan reviews Stranger on Lesbos by Valerie Taylor

October 12, 2016 by Danika Ellis

Valerie Taylor’s Stranger on Lesbos is an example of classic pulp lesbian fiction. It was published in 1960, at the midpoint of the genre, and it seems like a really tropey example of it! Frances Ollenfield escaped a childhood of abuse and poverty into a marriage that is slowly becoming more and more loveless asRead More

Susan reviews "i love this part" by Tillie Walden

September 14, 2016 by Danika Ellis

i love this part is a graphic novel by Tillie Walden, which effectively serves as snapshots of the romance and relationship between two American schoolgirls. It was described to me as a sweet queer romance… Which is half right. For the most part, it’s simple and straightforward. The two girls are in love, and spendRead More
