Thank you to Bloom Books and Raincoast Books for the Bloom re-release edition of Hate, the first book in the Madison Kate series. When Bloom announced they were picking this up I took it as the sign I was waiting for to dive into this series finally.

From bestselling author Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale reimagining of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He is righteousness. She is sin. Father Cade Frédéric is…

Thank you to Karina Halle and the teams at Reckless Readers and Literary Yours PR for the advance reader copy of A Ship of Bones and Teeth. I have been excited about this book since its announcement and I am pleased to say it lived up to the hype.

I am a Karina Halle review team member but remain honest and genuine in my reviews. A STANDALONE gothic dark fantasy pirate romance re-telling of The Little Mermaid from the New…
