Review: The Midnight Bargain by C. L. Polk
I read The Midnight Bargain by C. L. Polk as part of the Kobo Plus program. It’s nice to see traditionally published books also being included in the program, and I really wanted to read this one.

Review: Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
I added Black Water Sister by Zen Cho immediately to my TBR once she announced it on her Twitter. The blurb blew me away and gave me all the feels. While I might not be the daughter of immigrant parents from Malaysia, I am the daughter of a man who escaped the blazing Indonesian weather. Read More
Review: Fireheart Tiger by Aliette de Bodard
Fireheart Tiger is Aliette de Bodard’s latest novella. It’s another fantasy story with a Vietnamese inspired world, this time, pre-colonial. It’s short, bittersweet, and left me wanting more.

#Indieapril Author Spotlight: GM White
GM White G.M. White has always been an avid reader, a love of the written word instilled in him by his parents at an early age. This may or may not have something to do with the fact that he was a very talkative child and the only time he was quiet was when he Read More

Thank you to Netgalley and Jo Fletcher for an ARC of The Beautiful Ones. Below is my honest opinion.
