This story is my newest obsession – the gothic vibes, the snark and charm of the characters, and the swoon-worthy relationships. It’s a tale of murder-mystery and coming-of-age, in a historical setting.
ARC Review: This Vicious Grace by Emily Thiede
What a spectacular debut… just wow! This will quickly become a cult favorite for YA fantasy readers. I couldn’t put it down and I will be anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.
ARC Review: Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid
This story is gritty and real. It’s delightfully dark and grippingly gruesome. A marvelous structure of chilling fairytale in true Grimm fashion. The unique voice and style is immersive. The pacing of events is expertly crafted and I couldn’t put it down. The tension and conflict in the story flows like a building tidal wave that sweeps you away and crashes into shore.

ARC Review: Belle Morte by Bella Higgin
Overall, this book is an exciting, light read. It’s exactly as I expected it to be and didn’t disappoint. If you are looking for something new and profound, this isn’t it. But if the vampire sub-genre and all its typical tropes are your guilty pleasure, than this is one you will enjoy as much as I did.
