Danika reviews Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde
This. Was. Adorable. I was between rating this 4 stars or 5, but I couldn’t think of anything that I would change about it to improve it, so I guess that makes it an automatic 5 stars! Queens of Geek follows two point of view characters, Charlie and Taylor, as well as their friend Jamie.Read More
Rachel reviews Her Name in the Sky by Kelly Quindlen
You know a novel is well-written if you find yourself sucked into the story, feeling every single emotion the characters are feeling, and either moving you to tears or making you smile without realizing.

Sponsored Review: Danika reviews The Buddha of Lightning Peak by Yudron Wangmo
Within a few chapters of starting The Buddha of Lightning Peak, I thought I understood where the story was going: Plucky teenager takes on corporation to save the environment! Having been environmentally-focused as a teenager, this was a plot that would have been just fine by me. By the midway point of the book, however, itRead More

Why did no one tell me about this book earlier?? Honestly, this should be much more well known. Ice Massacre is about Meela, and 18-year-old girl who has been trained to fight killer mermaids. She’s needed to defend her island, but she has qualms about being sent out to massacre the “sea demons”: she befriended oneRead More
Danika reviews Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst
I haven’t fallen so head over heels for a book in years. Here’s the premise: a YA fantasy book where two princesses fall in love. I mean, there’s a lot more to it. There’s court politics and betrayal and suppressed magic and warring religious factions, but that’s the hook that got to me, and IRead More
Shira Glassman reviews Not Your Sidekick by CB Lee
I’m surprised by how slowly the indie SFF world seems to be responding to fandom’s current preference for superheroes. Maybe that’s because superheroes originated in print to begin with, so anyone wanting to write them goes for graphic novels rather than prose. But CB Lee’s Not Your Sidekick is a much-needed contribution for those of us who for whateverRead More
Marthese reviews Silhouette of a Sparrow by Molly Beth Griffin
“Isabella was joy and excitement and adventure and everything else seemed dull in comparison” Silhouette of a Sparrow is set in 1920s America and follows the story of Garnet. I had been meaning to read it since it came out; the chapters of the book all feature a different bird which is a quirky conceptRead More
