    Alchemy & Ashes

    Amy Yorke, 2025 Four stars for fun that covers the bases as a book one. It’s lighter on fantasy but deeper on feelings (the big squishy love ones) because it’s “New Adult” (think older YA) and the seeds are there for bigger moments in magic. What I wanted was more…

    Betty Corrello, 2025 5 Stars for Nadia, all of her Absolutely masterful writing and storytelling from Betty Corrello.

    Every Chance After

    Jessica Sherry, 2025 4.25 Stars for Falling Hard This was an uplifting and sultry read, with fantastic chemistry and an inclusive small-town community.
