20th August 2020
Moon Fever (The S.P.E.A.R. Mission Files #2) by Ileandra Young
- Publisher: Bold Strokes Books, August 11th 2020
- Genre: Fantasy, Romance, LGBTQ+
- Format: Paperback (eARC)
- Page Count: 303 pages
- My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
CW: speciesism from main character, ableist language from main character, blood, transphobia, sexism, loss of body parts, torture

I have very conflicted feelings about this sequel. Danika’s egotistic actions irk me constantly, but I am still very invested in her story. In Both Ways, her stubbornness and rashness often lead her into horrible situations. And now? Things are worse. With her team investigating in recent werewolf attacks, she is drastically overpowered by the edanes and yet somehow thinks it is a good idea for her to get involved in their conflicts.

CW: off-screen child abuse, sexual assault, and physical torture.

I finished this book in two sittings and would have in one if not for a scheduled dinner. Since I tend to get sucked into a book and forget about reality, I am happy to say that me being hyper-alert of my surroundings in-between sittings is an indication that the suspense had really got to me. Sylver and Gold is that enthralling.

A Love that Leads to Home by Ronica Black | ARC Review

A Love that Leads to Home by Ronica Black
- Publisher: Bold Strokes Books, August 11th 2020
- Genre: Romance, LGBTQ+
- Format: Paperback (eARC)
- Page Count: 290 pages
- My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Is it a good thing that I tend to love toaster-oven romance more than most other tropes? A story where at least one party is figuring out their sexuality almost always focuses more on the development of the relationship, and I love an extremely slow-burn book where both characters try to understand what they are feeling for each other. Reading toaster-oven romances is often like experiencing falling in love all over again, and Black’s A Love that Leads to Home is one of those beautiful works.

- Format: Paperback (eARC)
- Page Count: 240 pages
- My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
This is the epitome of opposites-attract romance with conflictive characters. And I don’t just mean that they are different. Their individual existences are also ironically contradictory.
