Book Reviews

As I mentioned in a previous review, I’m currently working my way through the 32 finalists in the Books of Horror Indie Author Brawl. Daughter’s Drawings by Nick Botic is one of those 32 finalists, but it was on my radar before that. Since its release on July 7th, 2023, …

Since it’s Pride this month, this seems like the perfect time to highlight queer voices and representation in literature. I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of an upcoming graphic novel, The Science of Ghosts, written by Lilah Sturges and illustrated by El Garing. This book will be …

I was given the opportunity to check out an advance review copy and I’m …

It’s finally happened. I found a book that I had to take a break from in order to let my emotions settle. This panic-inducing masterpiece is In The Tall Trees by Angel Van Atta. I was already a fan of the author before reading this, but now she’s become an …
