The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters

3.75

Deeply human characters but wanted to see more moments of indigenous joy. 

Gothikana by RuNyx

2.5

It barely scratched the itch but it did meet minimum requirements so I have to give it some credit. It falls victim to so many cliches that make it hard to get fully immersed. Also is it a romance? Or is it smut? Because it felt like it couldn’t choose. There was the potential to make it good smut but then the story got coy.
