This is probably the most challenging review I've ever had to write because I have so much to say about A Drowned Kingdom and oh so many notes. I picked this book up after hearing about it through SPFBO and being recommended by a couple of friends. 'A Drowned Kingdom' is about great a great civilisation, with advanced weaponry and engineering, that gets swallowed by the ocean and the story of the outcast survivors?! I couldn't not read it. I named my daughter Atlantis after all!!

The Little Morsel by Rachel Rener & Alora Carter – Book Review
This was a super quick, beautiful, wholesome and heartwarming fantasy read, for adults and middle grade alike.
A grumpy retired war hero (dragon) living a pretty solitary and routine life. A small stray Hooman that arrives at his boulder. A quest for applesauce and an unlikely friendship that will give you all of the feels.

Scratches by Joshua Marsella – Review
What in the f*ck did I just read?!
Ok, I thought I knew what I was going to get with this one. I even read a couple of reviews, which is not like me at all. I'm new to this genre so I wanted to be prepared.

Amari & The Night Brothers – B.B Alston
It may be early in the piece, but I'm calling it. Best Middle Grade of the YEAR!!! Bold claim? You must not have read it yet.

Arc Review: Throwing Shade
I didn't know what book to post as my first review but I honestly love this new genre!!! This is my 3rd series of the Seasoned Paranormal Women genre and it GIVES ME LIFE...And hope 😬 I am steadily but surely approaching midlife myself (32) and reading MCs in their early 20s just doesn't do it for me like it used to. Reading about bad ass women who know, accept and love themselves, their cellulite, their muffin tops and their life choices, is just *insert chef's kiss here.
