Skyward Inn by Aliya Whiteley is a really trippy science fiction novel about the aftermath of a war on another planet, called Qita. The Inn serves as a gathering place for residents: a place where they can imbibe and connect with others; that is, until a new face disturbs the peace.

Review: Of Honey and Wildfires (The Songs of Sefate #1) by Sarah Chorn
Of Honey and Wildfires is a rather short book, by fantasy standards anyway, weighing in at just over 300 pages. That’s not to say that this is a bad thing. Quite the opposite, in fact, because I don’t think I could have withstood reading much more than that. Let me explain.

Blood of an Exile (Dragons of Terra #1) by Brian Naslund
Review: Secret Santa by Andrew Shaffer
Secret Santa was a blast to read, short, but an interesting YA paranormal mystery. This 216 pages novella mixed the spirit of Christmas with the mysteries of a demonized doll and peppered it with a dose of humour. The principal character, Lussi, was well developed — we had a great sense of who she was — her reasoning. This made the ride all the sweeter. I especially loved the publishing world backstory, which represented a proper setup for the narrative.

Review + Signed Book Giveaway: Dragon Mage (Rivenworld #1) by ML Spencer
I was first introduced to Dragon Mage by one of my blog cohorts, David S. When I saw the very large, self-published adventure fantasy with the giant dragon on the cover… I was all in. My initial excitement was only exacerbated by some of the great reviews that were floating around about the book. Needless to say, expectations were high; and, spoiler alert: Dragon Mage does not disappoint.
