Book Review: Full Speed to a Crash Landing

Full Speed to a Crash Landing is one of those books that proved that you don’t need to write a gazillion of pages to make a story interesting. When I requested this book from Netgalley, I kept my expectations just a notch lower than high. Yes, I’ve heard of Beth Ravis and I’ve seen her books raking in excellent reviews for her other books but I have not read any of her books until this one. I’m glad that I picked the right book because I really enjoyed it. It’s short but action packed, straightforward, and hit all the nice…

Book Review: The Unsuitable Heir

In 2016, I discovered one of the most brilliant LGBTQ series there is, the Captive Prince by C.S Pacat. Since then, I’ve been looking for the next book that will make the same impact and though I’ve come across unforgettable ones, nothing could still compare to Captive Prince but I’m not one to easily give up.

And a male protag who already had…

Book Review: Coming Up For Air

I’m never the sporty type but if someone asks me what’s my favorite sport, it’s more likely that my answer would be ‘swimming.’  There’s just something fulfilling about being in the water and feeling it splash against your skin as you swim.  And that is why I immediately picked up and read this book. And wow, Kenneally delivered.  Keneally’s world of swimming was intricate, competitive and realistic. Just like Kenneally’s characters in the previous books,  Coming Up For Air has a bunch of lovable and goal-oriented characters.  Though there’s something that bothered me about Maggie, I still liked her because…
