The Witch and the Tsar was so rich and atmospheric. From page one I was transported to old Russia, dropped into the woods with Yaga. Olesya Salnika Gilmore’s writing is gorgeous. I loved seeing Yaga as more human/goddess/healer and less witch/crone. This was such an enjoyable story, with history woven […]

This story is such a fun, suspenseful read! I loved the back and forth timelines, getting glimpses of what it was like for these assassins both now and when they where in their prime. The story centers primarily around Billie, as well as her sister-assassins Natalie, Mary Alice, and Helen. […]

At Least You Have Your Health was thoroughly enjoyable. It is unapologetically feminist and validating in so many ways. I found myself cheering for Maya even while gritting my teeth and questioning whether she would come to regret some of her decisions. This book is about learning to know yourself […]
Oh my goodness. This. Book. It was fantastic. So well paced and well written. I loved the characters and the fact that it is set in my hometown made it so much more fun! But honestly it’s just an amazingly good book. I loved the pining and the witty […]
