My Thoughts I absolutely adored PHANTASMA. It read as a dark gothic romantasy. Yum! I thought the levels of Phantasma were a creative nod to Dante’s Inferno and the nine circles of Hell. I loved the characters, especially Blackwell and Poe (even though Poe’s just a cat). I thought Smith’s depiction of Ophelia’s struggle with […]

My Thoughts I seem to go through a reading slump for a couple of months each year. Only when I force myself to start reading an old favorite or something fluffy do I successfully banish my slump to “The Upside Down.” LOVE, THEORETICALLY is that book for me this year. LOVE, THEORETICALLY was a fun, […]

My Thoughts STUCK WITH YOU is my least favorite of the STEMinist Novellas. Normally, instalove doesn’t bother me, but I couldn’t get over part of the premise. I liked the idea of them being stuck in the elevator together so they could air out their grievances, but Erik’s thoughts on why Sadie was mad at […]

My Thoughts I read the STEMinist Novellas out of order and started with the third one first. Thankfully, you can read these in any order. I loved BELOW ZERO and I was worried I wouldn’t enjoy UNDER ONE ROOF as much, but I did. I loved both Liam and Mara. I loved the forced proximity […]

My Thoughts I want more! I loved Hannah and Ian, and their story. I loved the setting and the idea of him rescuing her. I wish there was more to their story and relationship. Since this was a short story, Hazelwood did a great job of sharing the most important parts. Also, I didn’t realize […]
