Caroline Foster trades her name for a maid's uniform to find her missing brother in Whitechapel, and the real Victorian London she finds is darker than any ballroom.

Cursed to turn into a dragon, teamed up with the slayer who's supposed to hunt her. Fire to the Stars has big ideas and a world I loved, but the characters and romance held it back.

I fell hard for the setup, a girl who found a mythical island at twelve and comes back twenty years later to a man who hasn't aged a day. The execution? A little more complicated.

This book made me sob in the early chapters and I was not okay about it. In the best way.

For every burnt out gifted kid who never quite lived up to the version of themselves everyone else imagined

A historical fantasy set in Victorian London with a floromancy magic system that genuinely impressed me, a determined heroine worth rooting for, and a murder mystery at its heart. Just don't go in expecting a romantasy.

An Arcane Study of Stars by Sydney J. Shields had all the right ingredients for a great dark academia fantasy, but the rushed romance, frustrating protagonist, and convenient plot devices held it back.

What sounds like a quirky premise about a sentient Roomba becomes a quiet, bittersweet story about loneliness, efficiency, and what it really means to be human.

A heartbroken sixteen-year-old, a crumbling bed and breakfast, and a touch of quiet magic come together in The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst — a cozy, healing story about finding home in the most unexpected places.

A darkly funny dystopian sci-fi that works because of its voice.
