I got the hardcover special edition of To Cage A Wild Bird by Brooke Fast through the FairyLoot Romantasy/Adult Fantasy Subscription box. If it weren’t for FairyLoot, I probably never would have found this book. As soon as I started reading, I knew I wouldn’t be able to put it down. It reminded me of other dystopian stories I’ve read and watched. I finished it quickly because the fast-paced plot and the challenges faced by Raven Thorne and the other characters kept me hooked.
I picked up The Winter King by C.L. Wilson for a Romanceopoly Challenge prompt and am so glad I did. Though it’s over 500 pages, every page was worth it. Having read C.L. Wilson before, I was eager to start her Weathermages of Mystral series, especially because of her descriptive world-building and characters.
Once I saw the cover and read the synopsis of Half City by Kate Golden, I knew I needed to read it. A mixture of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural, sign me up immediately! And it’s also marketed as an Urban Fantasy, which is one of my favorite subgenres to read, especially when this subgenre tends to have strong female leads.
