I was so excited to dive into A Mirror Mended by Alix E. Harrow. This novella was the sequel to A Spindle Splintered – which I LOVED. It stands to reason this novella would be just as good. It turns out though that this novella wasn’t quite my favorite. I still respect it though and respect those […]
All The Horses Of Iceland by Sarah Tolmie | Novella Review
March 21, 2022
I had hoped I would vibe a bit more with All The Horses Of Iceland by Sarah Tolmie. Historical fantasy is right up my alley. I just finished watching The Bachelor which had set the finale parts in Iceland. So, now I feel a bit more affinity with the place — trite as that may sound. […]
Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente | Novella Review

Autumn Book Picks: Nightstruck
September 24, 2019
Tis the season for SPOOKY. Nightstruck by Jenna Black certainly meets the mark for a spine chilling read. It is a young adult book featuring a Philadelphia that’s straight out of hell. And there’s no escape. Nightstruck basically opens on a sinister note. Apparently a veil between the worlds has been breached and bait has been […]
