The Queen Will Betray You by Sarah Henning

The Queen Will Betray You

Content warning: lots of stabbings, beheadings, poisonings, deaths by burning, drowning, acid, and I’ve probably forgotten some others. Basically, lots of violent death, which will happen when you are having multiple military coups and revolutions and wars in one novel. The Queen Will Betray You is the second book in the trilogy that starts with The Princess Will Save You. It’s very good, but you absolutely should not read it unless you have read the … Continue reading The Queen Will Betray You by Sarah Henning

The Princess Will Save You by Sarah Henning

The Princess Will Save You

Content warning: Torture of a main character. I’m pretty sure that if I start by saying ‘genderswapped Princess Bride where the Princess rescues the stable boy’, about half of you won’t read any further in this review because you will be too busy one-clicking the book. Certainly, that was my reaction when I saw this title appear on NetGalley. And if genderswapped Princess Bride is what you are looking for in a book, you will … Continue reading The Princess Will Save You by Sarah Henning

Books on Sale: Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas & More

RECOMMENDED: Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas is $1.99! So many readers were looking forward to this book when it first released, and Carrie gave it a B+:

Devil in Spring was so delightful that I read it slowly because I had to take frequent squee breaks. I truly cannot sufficiently express how overjoyed this book made me. That said, I don’t think it will be everyone’s catnip, because the main character sometimes seems overly young and naïve, even given her character quirks.

Book Review

Sea Witch Rising by Sarah Henning

Sea Witch Rising

Sea Witch Rising is the sequel to Sea Witch, which was a very loose retelling of The Little Mermaid with an impressive twist. Like Sea Witch, Rising is a hot mess, and, yet, also like Sea Witch, I just gotta have it. There is romance in the story but the book is not a romance. It’s about mermaid witches and an octopus witch and some human witches fighting the Germans and also patriarchy above and below the … Continue reading Sea Witch Rising by Sarah Henning

Books on Sale: Butterface by Avery Flynn & More

Butterface by Avery Flynn is 99c! I believe this is part of today’s deals. This contemporary romance is billed as a romantic comedy with some fake relationship elements. Be warned that the heroine is incredibly self-conscious about her looks, and there seems to be a lot of internal critical comments, if you’re sensitive to those things.
