Until the Last Page by Chantal Gadoury
If you love fairytale retellings and are after a fun read, pick up this book!
Jo gets to live out our dream of being sucked into (literally!) the book she's reading. She's cares about everyone she comes across, even if they are supposed to be fictional, and is determined to help them in any way she can. Aneurin is a classic stuck up prince when we first meet him, and he gets some wonderful character development.
The story was a joy to read. Thank you Chantal for the copy!

L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 40: The Best New SF & Fantasy of the Year by L. Ron Hubbard, L. Ron Hubbard
This year brings another batch of talented writers and artists. From space travel, to wendigos, to AI cats, to falling in love with a toaster (yep!) - there’s truly something for everybody.
Along with a look into the future of sci-fi and fantasy publishing, we also get a glimpse into the past with an interview from the 80s with L. Ron Hubbard himself.
If you want to jump back into sci-fi, this is a great option as each story allows you to read in bite-sized chunks and work through the book. Or you can always sit and binge the entire thing at once.
Happy 40 years to the anthology!

Of War and Heroes by Benjamin Sanford
Of War and Heroes is a classic fantasy farm boy to hero story with a twist. The world is fully immersive and have intricately created monarchies and armies. But the fantasy land elements combine with humans crash landing and making Super Bowl references!
You learn the differences in our world and theirs every time a human makes a normal human reference and the Araxians don’t get it. The poor Araxians don’t have carrots or dogs!
Tosha and Raven’s storyline was the most interesting to me. I knew how it was going to go up to a certain point and then it took me in a completely different direction to what I expected.
The found family coming together was great and I can’t wait to see what happens to them in book 2.

The Ghosts of Rathalla by Matthew K. Perkins
The Ghosts of Rathalla takes place in a unique setting where our two main characters journey across a continent to deliver a message in hopes of stopping a war.
It is full of deep lore and history which affects every decision the characters make. From reincarnation to not riding horses, each religion in this world has a reason they act the way they act.
From the first chapter us as the reader know what the main characters are going to find at the end of their journey, but they do not. This brings a whole heap of anticipation. The book is only about 200 pages, but there’s a whole adventure found within.

The Heaven Spot by Mary Frances Hill
A book full of mystery with a strong focus on family.
Maggie is such a complex character. Her flaws are at the forefront of the story. We see her mistakes and her decisions good or bad.
The thriller and mystery aspects keep you reading because you just need to find out who killed her daughter.
The little details really pull it all together. From the importance of The Little Mermaid to a pair of hedge shears, every little detail bridges the story from the past to the present and leads you down the road of finding out what happened in the days Maggie can’t remember.

This was my first time reading a Melanie Summers book and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
It was fun and heartfelt and full of enemies to lovers goodness.
I equally loved the romance and the family storylines. Some of it was so relatable; cue my parents still not understanding what I do for a living.
I loved the dynamics of everyone on the trip and the fact that after they messed up - there was communication! Hell yeah, communication for the win!
