3.5⭐️ - With Sliced Ice coming out, I realised I’d never read this sequel to The Red Files. I have to admit I didn’t remember much about The Red Files (if you follow my reviews, you’ll know it usually doesn’t have a lot to do with the quality of the book), which made it a … Continue reading Under Your Skin (On The Record #2) – Lee Winter
As I wrote in my review for the book, there can never be enough lesbian pirates stories, and this one is well worth your time. I don't have a lot to add to my original review, I'll focus on the narration. I have very minor complaints about Emily Woo Zeller’s narration. George’s voice sounds a … Continue reading Uncharted – Alli Temple & Emily Woo Zeller (narrator)
Not all gifts are welcome. Briseis is bright and determined and if keeping herself in check didn't require so much of her energy, she’d be an excellent student. But as it is, trying to stop plants – flowers, trees, grass – from reacting to her presence takes a lot of focus. Furthermore, when you’re hiding who … Continue reading This Poison Heart (This Poison Heart #1) – Kalynn Bayron
This book had me laughing by the end of the first page. It’s not a comedy but the relationship between Kieran and Pen includes hilarious moments. The decision to date again hasn’t come easily to Kieran, after a couple of years of protecting herself following two painful break-ups. But she’s ready. And who better than … Continue reading Swipe Right – Tagan Shepard
My favourite Carsen Taite books are usually the ones with lawyers and courtroom scenes but this one comes close. Royal Scott is an FBI agent specializing in undercover operations. At the beginning of the story, she gets pulled from a job and immediately sent to another one, spying on the Mancuso family, and, more precisely, … Continue reading Her Consigliere – Carsen Taite
I was writing my review of Catch and Cradle and browsing the author’s website where I found about this novella, starring Iz, Hope’s nonbinary housemate, and I just had to stop everything and read it. It’s set a few months after the first book but both stories can be read as standalone, though I recommend … Continue reading Stop and Stare – Katia Rose

The day Viv died, Nev lost everything. Nev and Kinsley meet again as adults, by chance. Years of families blaming and badmouthing the other have … Continue reading A Turn of Fate – Ronica Black
Swift Vengeance is a paranormal thriller with a healthy dose of romance. Months after a motorcycle accident that almost killed her, Brittany starts getting visions, terrifying, bloody visions. As much as she’d like to ignore them, she feels she’s getting them for a reason and follows them to Swift Island, in New England. A few … Continue reading Swift Vengeance – Jean Copeland & Jackie D. & Erin Zak
I don’t know what to think of this book. It’s well-written. There are feelings. Teenage angst. So much teenage angst. Andie has been in love with Ivy since forever. Ivy doesn’t do relationships and goes from girl to girl, which isn’t that surprising at nineteen. Andie is okay with it because she’s convinced that, someday, … Continue reading The Love Song of Ivy K. Harlowe – Hannah Moskowitz
I am, it seems, one of a few who enjoyed this book more than the first one in Olivia Waite’s Feminine Pursuits series (both books can be read as standalones). While I liked The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics a lot, I pretty much fell in love with Penelope and therefore with her story. Set … Continue reading The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows (Feminine Pursuits #2) – Olivia Waite & Morag Sims (narrator)
