Thank you to Giana Darling and the team at Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of Serpentine Valentine. I have been excited about this book ever since Giana first teased it! All I have to tell you is that this is a dark academia, sapphic, Medusa retelling, that should be enough to get you to look at this twice. I loved this book, and even if you think it is not for you, trust me give it a try and get ready to be whisked away to Archeron University with Lex and Luna. From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes a sapphic dark academia Medusa retelling about a…

Sierra Simone’s Villain I’d Like to F… ARC Review
Thank you to Sierra Simone and her team for the advance reader copy of Villain I’d Like to F… This review will specifically cover The Conquering of Tate the Pious, Sierra’s contribution to this anthology.

I am a Sierra Simone review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. England is burning with Norman fires, and Tate—the youngest ever abbess of Far Hope Abbey—is determined to guard the abbey’s ancient secrets with her very life. Her life may be what it takes, however, for…

Rachel Lacey’s Hideaway ARC Review
Thank you to Rachel Lacey, Sarina Bowen, Jenn Gaffney, and the team at the World of True North for the advance reader copy of Hideaway, the eighth book in the Vino & Veritas series.

This is the first Vino & Veritas story about a lesbian couple. And it happens to be the first F/F adult story I have read in quite awhile. Check out the Goodreads synopsis… “After being rejected one too many times, Chelsea makes a bold vow: No more men.

Katee Robert’s Queen Takes Rose ARC Review
Thank you to Katee Robert for the advance reader copy of Queen Takes Rose, the sixth and final standalone in the Wicked Villains series. This book releases on November 10th! This is my first time getting to read an ARC for Katee Robert. I really got into her books over the summer. This Wicked Villains series specifically blew me away. I had always wanted to satisfy the part of me that wanted a more mature fairy re-telling and these did that for me and so much more. Check out the Goodreads synopsis… “Once upon a time I made a deal with the devil. It turns out I like playing in the dark.…

Sierra Simone’s Feast of Sparks ARC Review
Thank you to Sierra Simone and the team at Candi Kane PR for the review copy of Feast of Sparks, the second book in the Thornchapel series. I have a review for the first book in this series, A Lesson in Thorns. In that review, I have a warning about the maturity of this book, and once again I am warning you this book is not for the faint of heart. Like I’m talking an orgy in the second chapter, and if that is not for you I would not pick up any Sierra Simone books. But if that is not something that turns you off, I highly recommend Sierra’s…
