The Golden Couple

“Yes! What makes a great thriller? A therapist who has lost her license in the quest of doing what SHE thinks is right. An affair. A couple who seems too good to be true, and their emotional reactions mirror that. The sneaking suspicion of being watched... so many levels of being watched. Avery, the therapist who seems like a detective, starts her non-traditional therapy process with her new clients, her 'golden couple,' who are coming to therapy because of a one-night-affair, but things don’t add up. While Avery expects some glossing over of the truth, she generally doesn't have a curve ball every session. Can they fix what is broken? What is the cost of safety and security? The characters are intriguing and I had no clue who I should be rooting for until the conclusion. Very enjoyable.”

The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea

“'She was not a creature of courage, but she was one of spite.' This book is exactly my niche- queer fairy-tales, trans pirates, bloodsucking mermaids, a sentient sea, and a delightfully mean witch. I can't shut up about it!!!”

The Dragonet Prophecy

“I am obsessed with this book! To say that only twelve-year old Kvothe would have died for this book does a disservice to the fact that twenty-five-year old Kvothe is currently flipping out for a bunch of dragons. Every twist and turn had me that much closer to throwing my phone -- thanks to the audiobook and the indubitably talented narrator Shannon McManus. If there was a way for me to physically inject the Wings of Fire series fully into my veins, I would.”
