SPFBO Review: Fade by E.G. Bateman
Starting out with an audiobook because of course I did. ^_^ You can also see this review on The Weatherwax Report When the horrific death of her father leaves Jenna Banks an orphan just before her sixteenth birthday, she is plunged into the world of Hilltop Academy – a world where machine gun-toting Agents protect...

Review: The Girl and the Stars by Mark Lawrence
This is one that I've had my eye upon since I first heard about it. I really liked the Book of the Ancestor series, and this takes place in the same world. So, when I was offered a copy, I couldn't resist! So thank you to the author for the review copy! On Abeth the... Continue Reading →
Review: Dragon Unleashed by Grace Draven
Having really enjoyed the previous book in this series (and pretty much throwing myself at any book that Grace Draven writes), when I saw this appear on NetGalley, I couldn't help putting a request in! So thanks to the author, as well as Ace via NetGalley for the review copy! Magic is outlawed in the... Continue Reading →
Review: The Court of Mortals by A.J. Lancaster
So, I wasn't kidding when I said I was going to jump right into book three as soon as I was finished with book two. ^_^ It was nearly instantaneous! Again, this review is going to contain mild spoilers for things that occur over the course of especially book one, and so if you haven't... Continue Reading →
Review: Legacy of Ash by Matthew Ward
I've had this book on my kindle for a good while, and have meant to read it but haven't ever had time (it is a bit chonk at 800 pages, amirite?). After Orbit was so nice as to send me an ARC of the paperback copy, I moved it as far up my list as... Continue Reading →
Review: The Prince of Secrets by A.J. Lancaster
Now that I've finished up my SPFBO responsibilities for the year, I finally have time to read this one. I've been looking forward to it since reading Stariel! I'm going to make this as spoiler-free for Stariel as possible, but with this one it's hard because, well, even the blurb makes a few details about... Continue Reading →
Review: Starcrossed by Allie Therin
I thought of doing both of these books as one big review, but in the end, I think they both deserve their own time in the spotlight, so to speak. Thanks to the author, as well as Carina Press via NetGalley for the review copy! Psychometric Rory Brodigan’s life hasn’t been the same since the... Continue Reading →
Review: Spellbound by Allie Therin
This was one that I picked up on the description alone. Because who can resist prohibition-era M/M romance? Nobody, probably. Arthur Kenzie’s life’s work is protecting the world from the supernatural relics that could destroy it. When an amulet with the power to control the tides is shipped to New York, he must intercept it... Continue Reading →
SPFBO Finalist Review: Blood of Heirs by Alicia Wanstall-Burke
And with this last book, I'm all done. 🙂 Lidan Tolak is the fiercest of her father’s daughters; more than capable of one day leading her clan. But caught between her warring parents, Lidan’s world begins to unravel when another of her father’s wives falls pregnant. Before she has time to consider the threat of... Continue Reading →
