This is an incredible story of a journey of self-discovery. Shea is proposed to, however, it’s with an heirloom ring that causes Shea to start a journey through different parts of the world to learn the original story of the ring.
I loved the way this author described the places that Shea was visiting. Everything felt so real and alive. I also love the idea of the story. Something that I found relatable while still feeling like a very new idea.

This story is so well done. Covering a range of topics like body image and racism, this book at once swept me off my feet while being informative. There are several topics in this book I will never fully understand, but the general idea of love is something I think we all can grasp. Also, the idea of finding oneself is beautifully illustrated in this.

Wow! I loved this. This book speaks on homophobia and racism but our heroine, Florence, is fighting against this.
Florence is from Jamaica, but when her father brings her back to his home, she just doesn’t quite fit in. No amount of hair straightening can solve these overwhelming issues. But when she does something her father deems unforgivable, she is tossed out of the house.
She makes her way to Rose Hall to hopefully work, but winds up finding a mystery instead. This story is full of magic and love. Something that I will cherish.

As a lover of magical girls, how could I possibly say no to this?
A late twenties millennial woman is going through a rough time after covid and starts to not see a light at the end of the tunnel anymore. However, she is turned into a magical girl with amazing powers! However, how can she use this magic on the very real-world problems on Earth?
This was delightful! I am so happy I got a chance to read this not only from Netgalley but because this book was translated and I feel like that’s magical in itself seeing how hard it is to get many books translated to English. There are some! I know!!! But, this one is particularly special to me.

Okay. This was irresistible! The cozy fantasy vibes, the sweet endearing sapphic romance, and just the overwhelming kindness that just radiated through this book. I absolutely loved this.
Kianthe is the mage of ages and is in love with Reyna, a guard for a quite evil queen. They decide to run away together and find the perfect middle of nowhere town. They get to work opening their tea shop and bookstore, not yet knowing how attached to this town they would become or the difference they would make.
This has plant magic and earth magic, dragons and dragon eggs, and a very loveable griffin. Not to mention the utter calmness this book brought me with its wonderful townspeople and solvable problems.
I can’t recommend this enough!

A sapphic opposites-attract romance!
Opal wins the lottery and is immediately asked for money from numerous people. As she gives her money away, she decides to protect herself by buying a flower farm. However, when she meets the gorgeous Pepper, things take a turn.
There is a lot of adult content in this one. It was almost too much because it didn’t leave a lot of room for emotional connections. I definitely enjoyed this and would say to give it a go!

This has dual timelines focusing on an intriguing topic, protests and relationships. Minnow is in 2018 and Keen in 1968. Both have similarities but are dealing with completely different areas. I found this to be incredibly interesting.
Great writing and fantastic characters. However, I can’t say I loved the characters themselves. It’s definitely a love-hate relationship there. I feel like this story is missing something, particularly with it ending the way it did. But, I can’t help but recommend this as a wonderful piece of fiction.

I thought this wound up being pretty cool. This has a creative storytelling style that helped move me through the story, even the style of writing causing tension for me at times.
Evelyn and Richard are newlyweds that seem quite oddly matched. They are staying on a Greek island for their honeymoon. However, things get weird quickly, and as the tension rises, I learned about a whole other twist that kept me on my toes till the very end. And, the ending is strange. But, for such an interesting book, I wouldn’t expect any less!

Yes! When I requested this, it was because I’m a fan of C. J. Tudor, so I didn’t really read what exactly this entails. But we have Vampyrs!!!! Yes! And, I loved every second of this!!
There is a brutal murder to be investigated, and Detective Barbara Atkins goes to Deadheart, Alaska, to figure out what is going on. The townspeople blame the nearby group of Vampyrs. They want to cull their colony in retaliation. Barbara has to get to work to stop this while investigating.
All of the characters are so interesting, and the atmosphere gives these very dark, sinister, definitely creepy vibes. And, reading this at night had me scared, like looking at the darkened windows of my living room wondering what’s out there kind of scared.
Definitely recommend!
