Marked (House of Night #1) by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast So, as a whole this series is decent. It manages to capture Native American traditions, Goddess Worship, Paganism and the occult in a fairly positive light. That being said, the characters and writing was […]
Blue is for Nightmares by Laurie Faria Stolarz This is an excellent series, particularly for young Pagans or Wiccans. It mixes in a nice blend of reality and magick (Yes, magick with a k!) The only issue I took with the series, which come sup […]
The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo I really loved this. The stories were familiar, yet had haunting twists, and were told beautifully with their differences. The illustrations were a nice addition too. Also, because it bears mentioning, the book itself is quite lovely. The […]
The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco Deserves the stars for creativity and world creation alone. Essentially it seems like the author took the concept of Geisha, the Hindu religion, Muslim, Asian, and European culture and smooshed them altogether to create this world. Haha, which sounds […]
Bitten (Women of the Otherworld #1) by Kelley Armstrong Kelley Armstrong is my second favorite author in a rather short list. This was the first series I ever read by her and I absolutely fell in love with it. The characters are incredibly visceral, especially […]

The Hawkweed Prophecy by Irena Brignull I enjoyed this. The story was interesting; although some of the character growth was kind of lost in translation. It left it open for a sequel so maybe things will end up being rounded out. The structure of magic […]
First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson #1) by Darynda Jones You’re either gonna love this series or hate it. I haven’t found anyone who was in between. I personally love it to pieces. The first person point of view is filled with hilarious jokes, […]
Fruits Basket (Furuba #1) by Natsuki Takaya I can’t praise this Shoujo (Shoujo literally translates to Girl and Shoujo manga are geared specifically to teen girls) manga enough! Based on an old folktale about the creation of the Chinese Zodiac, Fruits Basket (Or Furuba, as […]
“A Court of Thorns and Roses”, Book #1by Sarah J. Maas Excuse me while I fangirl over this book (and the series as a whole). This is some quality YA right here. A clever plot that is based loosely on the Beauty & the Beast […]
