    Silver Ravens by Jane Fletcher

    Lori has just lost her job as a video game engineer along with her girlfriend. Desperately in need of a new job, she comes across a series of magazine puzzles. The final solution leads her to Dorstanley and supplies her with odd instructions. Maybe it is a recruitment.

    Surprisingly, it is, but not anything close to what she has imagined. In fact, she thinks the recruiters are out of their minds for believing in a mythical world. But as Tamsin, one of the recruiters Lori finds especially attractive, leads her deeper into the world of fays, Lori no longer knows who is right and who is wrong.

    Still Not Over You by Jenny Frame & Carsen Taite & Ali Vali | ARC Review

    Still Not Over You by Jenny Frame & Carsen Taite & Ali Vali

    I absolutely love the first novella My Forever Girl by Jenny Frame. Its tone is sad from the beginning yet we feel the immense love and caring between Braydon and Faith. Because of unfortunate circumstances, they are divorced and have been avoiding seeing each other for four years. But their friends invite them on a cruise and force them to share adjacent rooms for two weeks. Melancholy flowed relentlessly through the story as Bray and Faith work to forgive each other and, most importantly, themselves. Frame did not disappoint with this emotional butch-femme story and oh what I would give to have a full length novel of them!

    On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden

    “No. No way. You don’t get to decide that. You don’t get to decide what’s important for us. You can choose for yourself, but no one else. When you chose not to respect us, we chose not to respect you. […] Have you ever even considered that something that’s trivial to you could mean … so much more to someone else? You don’t get to take the easy road out and just respect the parts of people you recognize. And, pro-tip: If you find yourself in a similar situation in the future where you’re surrounded by people you don’t understand, try listening. It’ll work a lot better for you than talking.”
