RECOMMENDED: Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper is $1.99! Ellen gave this one a B:
Overall, this book had many strong elements, with a few minor missteps. I think you pretty much get what you expect in terms of a relatively light, atmospheric, sexy sapphic romance perfect for spooky season. If there are additional series entries, I will absolutely be reading them.
We have a very special request from Brittni. Thanks so much for sending this one in: About four years ago, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder (type 2–yes, there are multiple types). I have been struggling with the illness since I was 12, and having a name for it, and medication to take, has been a blessing. However, the only representation I’ve see in the media of my illness is Kanye West and plots where … Continue reading The Rec League: Bipolar Representation
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! By the time you’re reading this, I’ll be on a train back from NYC. My roommate was nominated for an award and graciously asked me to be her plus one. It was a nice night of yummy appetizers and an open bar on a covered, rooftop deck. We also were craving chocolate, so we grabbed some peanut butter M&Ms and Dove chocolates at a Duane Reade. Not a bad way … Continue reading Links: Subreddits, Imprints, & More

A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair is $2.24! This is a Hades & Persephone fantasy romance that skews more toward the erotic side. I know St. Clair gained a huge following in some of the self-pub/indie pub spaces. Have you read anything by her? Thoughts?
This HaBO is from Elma, who is looking for this darker romance: Hello, I read this book 1-2 years ago, via Kindle. I can’t find it in my history at all though and it is bugging me. What I remember: – It’s set in a South American country. – She is renting a room from an elderly couple. – He is also renting a room from them. Main characters write notes to each other. Elderly … Continue reading HaBO: Elderly Couple Betrays Him
For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten is $2.99! This is a dark romantic fantasy that was featured in Hide Your Wallet and was highly anticipated by me and Aarya. I remember starting it but finding it a little slow.
Welcome back to Cover Snark! Let’s look at some weird ones. From Delight: “Please enjoy this image that has traumatized our little girl group.” Sarah: I don’t know if enjoy is the right word but I can’t look away, that is for certain. Elyse: I am not okay. His head is in the other dude’s body cavity. I can’t see it any other way. Tara: Did we do this one before? For sure we did … Continue reading Cover Snark: More Arms and a Big Pickle
