Review: Courtney and Jupiter have been best friends since they were kids. Courtney is in love with Jupiter but Jupiter is a lesbian. Then we enter the new girl Rae who is attracted to them both. Whew, chile. This book is geared for a younger audience but these kids were going through it like adults at times. They had so […]
Review: I was at my local library and this book was on display at the Black History Month section. The book features 16 contributing authors and I have read three of the authors separately so I decided to check the book out. I’m over 100 pages in and these are some really good short stories. Even though this book is […]
Review: Stonewall and Joy have been casually seeing each other for the last 6 months. Stonewall is a ex-con who has turned his life around. Joy is a Detective. Honestly, their ‘relationship’ annoyed me to no end. For the WHOLE book they kept going back and forth as to whether they are together or not. I was 90% into the […]
Review: So anyone that knows me knows I LOVE holiday reads. If it’s holiday themed I will read it without a second thought! I was so excited to read this Christmas story with Zach and Mina. They went through a lot in “Pas De Deux: A Dance For Two” and it was nice to have a book that shows how […]
Review: In the spirit of Christmas it is my personal mission to read as many holiday books as I possibly can before the season is over. Which is why I requested this book off of NetGalley. Finn and Naomi work together in HOPE Children’s Hospital. Finn is rough, broody but given his history you can’t blame him at all. Finn […]
Review: Ava and Noah knew each other growing up. Noah is Jaden’s best friend and Ava is Jaden’s younger sister. They did have a mutual attraction when they were younger but they were kids. I enjoyed seeing the flashbacks and felt it helped me connect to the characters more. After a forbidden kiss Noah and Ava don’t speak or see […]
Review: This book is about three sisters Zofi, Akeylah and Ren. They all come from different walks of life and are reunited with each other when the King announces he is dying and one of them will ascend to the throne. With the way this book was set up it could have gone either way. I’m happy to report this […]
Review: Wow. This was a powerful read and at times hard to read book as well. This book touched on police brutality and current race relations. As a woman of color this book made my heart heavy. I know this is a sensitive topic but it’s one that NEEDS to be discussed. I felt the pain the characters felt […]
Review: I really enjoyed this Alice in Wonderland retelling. It was nice to have the heroine as person of color and I loved how diverse all the characters are in this story. It hard to believe that this is McKinney’s debut novel. The story was action packed and I love how it was also modern with important issues that are […]
My Review: I’ve been dying to read Portia’s story since “A Princess in Theory” and it didn’t disappoint at all. We are introduced to Portia, in the previous book and she was very easy not to like. I knew there was another side to her and I couldn’t wait to until unravel the many layers that is Portia. On her […]
