Review: In honor of Black History Month, I have been reading more books written by black authors. I have seen this book on social media and decided to take a chance reading this new to me author. I really liked Miah and Elle. They were complex but simple at the same time. They are a newly interracial couple and face […]
Review: Amanda is one of the descendants of Cupid but doesn’t believe in love. Isn’t that something? This was a cute and funny story about a girl trying to run away from love as fast as she can. Amanda has always felt love wasn’t real and pretty much a chemical disorder. I liked Amanda and thought she was a hoot! […]
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: When I saw this cover and read the blurb I had to read! Even though the book is billed as a stand alone I think I would have benefited more if I read the first book. . At times I got a little confused with the different characters. Even with that minor issue I did like the story line […]
Review: Mila is a Wiccan looking for answers on how her best friend, Riley, dies. She does a spell but things don’t as planned and this is where things get interesting. I have to say that I LOVED the way the story unfolded. Along the way truths are revealed and walls are broken down and unlikely people become friends. This […]
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 […]
Review: I’ve been not so patiently wait for this book and it was really good. Czermak has such a way with words and a very vivid description to detail. Reading this story felt like a movie was playing out before my very eyes. I loved seeing the maturation of the characters. The secondary story was well written and I loved […]
