I requested a digital arc of Voices from NetGalley. I was thrilled to see the approval for this one in my inbox because I have long held a fascination for Joan of Arc.

The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding: A Love Letter to Middle Grade

Four Dead Queens: Too Many POVs
I received an ARC of Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte at San Diego Comic-con last summer. I was cautiously optimistic since YA and royals don't always mix well for me.

A Curse so Dark and Lonely: Netgalley Review
I requested A Curse so Dark and Lonely from Bloomsbury to review on Netgalley. I was honestly a little hesitant about this one, I put off requesting it for a while, but Milana really loved it so I went for it! It's definitely heavy on the romance, and there a teeny bit of a love triangle. After that fizzles, I … Continue reading A Curse so Dark and Lonely: Netgalley Review
