Review: Foul Lady Fortune by Chloe Gong

Posted on March 29, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Ahh! I can’t believe we’re getting a sequel (sort of). Foul Lady Fortune is set in the same world as These Violet Delights, and I am here for it! Though don’t expect to see too many characters in common, as Rosalind is very much her own person here. Continue reading →

Review: Thistlefoot by GennaRose Nethercott

Posted on March 15, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Wow! Thistlefoot was such an intense read. I went into it expecting something fun and fascinating, and what I got was so much more. This is a book that isn’t afraid to get a bit dark. But it has a light and fascinating moments to help balance the story. Continue reading →

Review: Queen of Thieves by Beezy Marsh

Posted on March 8, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I picked Queen of Thieves because I wanted to try and break out of my comfort zone and read more historical fiction and the like. While Queen of Thieves is very well written, I think it just wasn’t my cup of tea. Continue reading →

Review: The Wilderwomen by Ruth Emmie Lang

Posted on March 8, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Okay, so I absolutely fell in love with Ruth Emmie Lang’s writing in Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance, so I was expecting to love The Wilderwomen with all of my heart. Sadly, that didn’t happen – though it wasn’t a bad read, so at least there’s that. Continue reading →

Review: Sign Here by Claudia Lux

Posted on February 22, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Huh. I’ve got to admit; Sign Here was nothing like what I expected. Granted, I only briefly scanned the description when picking my BOTM choices (I like surprises when I can arrange them). I thought this would lean more toward horror and less toward dark humor and satire. Continue reading →

Posted on February 15, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Pretty sure that, at this point, I’ll read anything written by Adrienne Young! Spells for Forgetting is no exception to that rule. Any book that promises ancestral magic, isolated towns, and a magical thriller will get my attention. Continue reading →

Posted on February 8, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Wow. There was no way I could read the description of The Many Daughters of Afong Moy and successfully walk away. This is one of those books that demands to be read, you know? Continue reading →
