This Too Shall Burn by Cat Rector
Worldbuilding: Aided the story
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Engaging
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Matches the story well Engaging writing alongside intense character development and a setting rife with tension. I could hardly put down this novel of feminine rage and the anger of dealing with the hypocrisy of both powerful men and the religions they stand behind. Very, very good. Reviewed on |

The Traitor & The Wretch by Jasmine Walls, Rowan MacColl
Worldbuilding: Aided the story
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Strong emotions
Thought Provoking: Did some research after reading
Cover: Matches the story well This is a book about the worst henchmen in existence falling in goopy love. If you like creepy eldritch stuff, giggling at gremlin men and foul-tempered dudes with whoops, one hand (it was all his own fault), you're going to love this. One of the best books I've read all year. Reviewed on |

The Monsters Among Us by Kent Priore
Worldbuilding: Piqued curiosity
Plot: Ambiguous Characters: Unbalanced
Storytelling: Minimalistic
Immersion: Satisfying, fulfilling experience Emotional Response: Didn’t feel much
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Unrelated to the story This is definitely one of the most unusual books I've ever read. I can see what the author was going for, but getting there was a bit messy. I can't say that I wasn't amused as hell getting there, though. Seth's life was a wild ride. Like a train wreck, but with more demons. Reviewed on |

A Hex For Hunger by Alistair Reeves
Worldbuilding: Piqued curiosity
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Engaging
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Matches the story well Still just as full of charm and flawless dialogue flow and banter as the first book, this one's subject matter was darker, more plot-heavy and less cozy. I think Ambrose and Emery's story deserved this treatment, as both of their stories deserved recognition and healing. Reviewed on |
