Isabel Luna is like the Jan Brady of the Brady Bunch. A middle sister longing to break out of everyone’s shadow and be more than people think of her. That’s what the author initially believed of her creation too, but as you get to know Isabel, the reader and one Captain Sirius Dovan learn there’s…

Twisted Tales: Suddenly Super Review
What if Violet was an Agent of Syndrome? This was another solid addition to the Twisted Tales series. It’s unfortunate this tale is only available out of the U.S. because Calonita does a great job on the first Pixar-based tale. All from Violet’s POV, Calonita explores the girl’s negative feelings about her powers. Since being…

Truth or Dare Review
I always enjoy it when Archie comics brings the spotlight to one of the lesser-known reoccuring characters.

I can see why Robbins thought she was prime material for a psychological thriller in liu of Saw and Escape Room. He…

The grand final book in the Waterfire Saga has the merls facing up to their biggest challenges yet-Overthrowing Vallerio and his accomplices and destroying Abbedon and Orfeo. It’s a thrilling book with some surprise conclusions that I hadn’t seen coming and filled with action that kept me at the edge of my seat. But there…

Waterfire Saga: Dark Tide Review
Donnelly gets right into the action with a heist! I love heists. Sera has grown in her confidence and badassery, formulating and succeeding in divesting the throne’s treasurey. Just in time too because they’ll need that gold to convince the goblin tribe to join their covert Blackfin army when they fight Sera’s traitorous uncle. But…
