4/5: Guardian Demon Smut, Souls, and a Crow Who Steals Your Keys I won this fabulous book. I jumped into book 4 cold and didn’t drown. Props to Aurora Ascher for that miracle. Sunshine (angel, chaos-...

4/5: Let’s be real, navigating the corporate world as a woman often feels like playing chess on a board that’s both rigged and on fire while someone keeps asking if you’ve “considered being nicer.” E...

5/5: It’s Not Hysteria is the reproductive health resource we’ve long needed and deserved. Dr. Karen Tang cuts through centuries of stigma, silence, and “just deal with it” advice with clarity, compas...

5/5: Tim Curry is fabulous as is his new memoir, Vagabond. You MUST read it. Tim Curry. Yes, that Tim Curry, the man who once strutted across celluloid in nothing but fishnets, thigh-highs, and sheer...

4/5: My cat gave it 4 stars, would’ve been 5, but she got distracted by a sunbeam. Kacen Callender’s writing doesn’t just grab you, it claims you. Like, legally. With paperwork and emotional binding ...

5/5: The Dead Letter Delivery is a clever, atmospheric, and utterly addictive read perfect for fans who like their mysteries steeped in magic and their love stories agonizingly delayed. Sylvia the pa...

5/5: Another fabulous mystery from C.J. Archer! Murder at the Dressmaker’s Salon is so sharp, it slices through alibis like shears through silk. Secrets? Plenty. Lies? More than a debutante’s diary....

4/5: Society gossips? She investigates. Politics stink? She follows the trail. Family worries she’s neglecting her duties? Please. Someone has to solve murders between tea service and avoiding chapero...

5/5: "The Witches of El Paso" Casts a Spell You Won’t Want to Break The Witches of El Paso is generational magic at its most intoxicating: part family saga, part supernatural thriller, and 100% impos...

4/5: Welcome to the future. Your DNA has been scanned. Resistance is futile. The Family Experiment where “family values” meet genetic engineering and a healthy dose of British dystopian chaos. Is it ...

3/5: I love science fiction. It's my all time favorite genre. The weird, the vast, the existential. I’ve marathoned space operas and meditated on Martian dust storms with joy. Sadly this was a meh for...

5/5: It’s a super-fast read because try putting it down. I love this series. It’s a guilty pleasure with no guilt attached because when a story’s this sharp, this brisk, and this alive, it’s not a ind...

5/5: I love this series. Not in the polite, book-club-nodding way where you sip tea and say “charming.” No. I love it like a guilty secret. Like finding a door in your basement that wasn’t there yeste...

3/5: Anne Rice built a cathedral of the night with The Vampire Chronicles. I walked those shadowed halls with a flashlight under my chin, as a kid. So when I returned this summer to revisit the series...

5/5: I picked up The Librarian of Crooked Lane because it had “library” in the title. I’m weak, I’ll judge a book by its Dewey Decimal appeal. This quick, clever fantasy is like Sherlock if Watson wer...

3/5: A solid meh from start to sunstroke. Cactus-based therapy, with too little shade and even less payoff.

5/5: A one-way ride into the absurd. Jason Pargin’s I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom is a literary nitro boost; fast, loud, and gloriously unhinged. No spoilers. When Lyft driver A...

5/5: Cleo Fox returns because murder demands a sequel. When a famous actress meets her final curtain in what’s officially ruled a suicide, Cleo smells foul play quicker than an understudy senses a lead actor’s cold coming on. Archer blends Downton Abbey elegance with Clue worthy twists, elevating the cozy mystery beyond tea trays and into territory where charm has claws. Cleo navigates Edwardian society with wit as sharp as a hatpin and instincts quicker than a dropped curtain. Smart, sassy, and gloriously unputdownable. My cat read over my shoulder and gave it five stars—then demanded a role ...

4/5: Enter Murder at the Mayfair Hotel, where turn-of-the-century London luxury comes with a side of murder, and one Cleopatra Fox, orphan, poor relation, and unintentional sleuth, who sashays into th...
