Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma

BookTok got me on the hype train with a novel that promises stunning insights into Ethiopian culture and vampires.  Unfortunately, this book just didn’t hit it for me. But before I get into what I didn’t like, let me speak about a few positives:  In this novel, Kidan and Susenyos brilliantly execute the enemy-to-lovers trope.…

I can’t believe that it is already the end of the month! I still have a great deal of ARCs to get to, and many of them are January releases that I will only get to in February (oops) …. but they will definitely be done! There have been so many amazing novels that I’ve…

The Reapers Are The Angels by Alden Bell

​There are only a handful of books that I have read that are zombie themed. Some I’ve hated, and some I’ve loved. This book definitely falls in the latter category. For 25 years, humans have been hiding away from the dead in isolated enclaves, trying to sustain themselves in this new and undead world. Temple…
