At Midnight edited by Dahlia Adler
At Midnight, edited by Dahlia Adler, is a creative, inclusive mix of fairy tale reimaginings from a diverse YA perspective. Some of the stories are funny, some horrifying, but all are inventive and subversive. Different people will of course have different favorites, but my favorite story was “In the Forests of the Night.” In this retelling of “Fitcher’s Bird,” author Gita Trelease creates a bloody, vengeful, feminist and anti-colonialist version of the fairytale set in … Continue reading At Midnight edited by Dahlia Adler

It’s Wednesday again! Who let that happen? My first dose happened last Thursday and my side effects were minimal, though I heard the second shot is where the side effects get you. I hope this is a sign of a light at the end of the tunnel. March is ending and April is upon us and that means a few holidays, namely Easter and Passover. We hope you all find ways to celebrate safely! … … Continue reading Links: Skype, Cereal Drama, & More

RECOMMENDED: Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews is $2.99! Many of us romance readers can’t recommend this series or this author enough. You can pick this one up without read the story arc of the previous three, but why would you want to deprive yourself of Ilona Andrews goodness.

Under the Lights by Dahlia Adler is $1.99 at Amazon! Fingers crossed for some price-matching. This is a YA/NA lesbian romance and Sarah gave it a B:
In terms of what age group this book is for, it’s tagged as both YA and New Adult. The characters are over 18, but under 21, and there is one on-the-page sex scene, should you be wondering if this book is suitable for a reader you know.
I found this book very easy to get into once I picked it up, and very difficult to put down. My interest waned every time Josh narrated a chapter, but at the end of each of Josh’s chapters there was more of Vanessa, and so I kept going.
