And […]
Audiobook review: Fire & Water by Alexis Hall I just finished reading Fire & Water in February, so being able to hear it performed so soon was a lot of fun.

Shadows & Dreams Author: Alexis Hall Reviewer: B. Rating: A What I’m Talking About: “Here lies Kate Kane. She achieved something. Beloved daughter.

Iron & Velvet Author: Alexis Hall Reviewer: B. Rating: A What I’m Talking About: “Here lies Kate Kane. Killed in a foreplay accident. Beloved daughter.

How To Belong With A Billionaire Author: Alexis Hall Reviewer: B. Rating: A What I’m Talking About: I believe starting this review of How to Belong with a Billionaire with a trigger warning needs to be done for two reasons: 1) there is an unsuccessful attempted rape towards the end of the narrative, and 2) […]

The Affair of the Mysterious Letter Author: Alexis Hall Reviewer: B. Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: “I am the sorceress Shaharazad Haas.

How To Blow It With A Billionaire Author: Alexis Hall Reviewer: B. Rating: A What I’m Talking About: Opening with a prologue tinted with such sinister and brutal (and potentially prophetic) avarice that my nerves were on edge for the entirety of the narrative, How to Blow It with a Billionaire was as wonderful and […]

Pansies Author: Alexis Hall Reviewer: B.
