Sorority – Review
"Pledges don't want pity. They just want to endure." Before I begin, this book has some serious triggers in it. Eating disorders, self-harm, drug use, abuse, and addition, animal cruelty, bullying, and I'm sure I missed a few. Basically, if it's upsetting and triggering, it's probably in the book. Sorority is a difficult book to [...]

Four Dead Queens – Review
"The four thrones, and their respective queens, sat in a circle around the dial. While the quadrants remained divided, the queens ruled from the same court. Together, yet apart." Keralie Corrington is a thief. And she's definitely a liar. Varin, on the other hand, is honest. He is an upstanding citizen from the most enlightened quadrant. [...]
