This was excellent! I loved What Moves the Dead, so I was very eager to read this story which follows our favorite sworn soldier, Alex Easton.

This was a fantastic book! I have wanted to read S.T. Gibson’s work for a while and am so glad that I picked up this book. I am a sucker for dark academia and when you add vampires to the mix, this book became a must-read. Once I started reading this book, I didn’t want […]

This was good! When I saw comparisons to The Bird Box, I was a bit worried since I was not a big fan of that book but this one worked well for me. I couldn’t imagine what it would have been like to live in the world these characters must navigate. I didn’t want to stop […]

This was a powerful book! It took me a long time to read this one, not because it was bad, but because I had an idea where the story was going and I knew that it would be painful to read. I thought it was an important story and I really felt for Tessa. Readers […]

I adored this book! I was very excited when I heard that Ali Hazelwood was writing a Vampyre/Werewolf book. Let’s just say, I had incredibly high expectations. I tend to enjoy paranormal romances so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one and I think I might have squealed a bit when it […]
