Wow. What a powerful and thought-provoking read! I’m so thankful to Berkley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book via NetGalley. I love mythological retellings, but I haven’t read any that focus on Aphrodite, so I was really intrigued by this one.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I thought it was a really unique premise and world, and the whole concept of people in the modern world making bargains with faeries was so interesting.

I enjoy stories and films that revolve around Arthurian legends and was excited to read The Chosen Queen, which is told from Igraine’s perspective. Arthur's mother is not usually a well-defined character, and she is often glossed over in Arthurian tales, so I appreciated the focus on her story for a change. The premise of exploring … Continue reading Book Review: The Chosen Queen by Sam Davey

Last Chance to Save the World is a fast-paced, high-stakes finale that's a wild ride from start to finish. I've loved this novella series, and this was a fantastic ending. The trilogy has the perfect mix of snarky banter, clever heists, and an epically slow-burning romance that I adored. The plot is suspenseful and high-stakes … Continue reading Book Review: Last Chance to Save the World by Beth Revis
