Review: The Good Luck Girls by Charlotte Nicole Davis

Posted on September 30, 2019 by

The Good Luck Girls is the first novel in a series of the same name by Charlotte Nicole Davis. This series will be perfect for fans of the Handmaid’s Tale or Westworld – or ideally, both. It combines a fantasy world with a heavily character driven plot, and is not afraid to show us the darker sides of a world such as this. Continue reading →

Review: Turning Darkness Into Light by Marie Brennan

Posted on August 16, 2019 by

Turning Darkness Into Light is the latest novel from Marie Brennan, and it’s set in the world of her other novel, Memoirs of Lady Trent. That being said, you honestly don’t have to have read the other one first in order to understand what is happening. I didn’t and was fine.
