Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season One – a review by Luke

In celebration of twenty years of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I will review each of the seven seasons. Being one of my favourite series of all time—if not my absolute favourite—I am excited to write about it! It seems appropriate to start with this line: “Welcome to the Hellmouth!” Here, I will review the first…

Don’t Let Me Go by J.H. Trumble – a review by Luke

(Disclaimer: The f-bomb—you know, the one that rhymes with duck—is present at some point in this review.)   Plot It's been eight months since Nate and Adam started their relationship. But when Adam accepts a job opportunity all the way in New York, they face one of the toughest obstacles: distance. Through Skype calls, Nate catches glimpses of Adam's…

Bitten by Kelley Armstrong – a review by Luke

A while ago, I finished reading all the books in the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong. While I liked each of them, I enjoyed some more than I did others. But my absolute favourite entries were the ones that followed Elena Michaels. She was the main character in the first book, Bitten, as well as the second (Stolen), sixth…

Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern – a review by Luke

I have read a few Cecelia Ahern books: P.S. I Love You, How to Fall in Love, If You Could See Me Now, and Flawed. While I enjoyed each of them, my favourite remains to be the first book of hers that I read: Where Rainbows End—or, for those of you who live in the U.S., Love, Rosie.  The story follows the…

Moment of Fate by Karen Stivali – a review by Luke

When I started to read M/M (Male/Male) Romances—well, the kind with more mature content—I remember that whenever I reached a certain type of scene, my eyes would widen, my mouth would gape open, and my cheeks would burn so hot, it was almost like I'd eaten spicy food that I couldn't tolerate well. Or some…

The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas – a review

The Throne of Glass series entered my life last year, and it introduced me to one of my favourite authors right now, Sarah J. Maas. Before it, I wasn't the biggest fan of high fantasy and just stuck to urban fantasy. What inspired me to check this series out was because fellow people on this group for…

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas – a review of the series by Luke

In anticipation of A Court of Wings and Ruin, I decided to refresh my memory by rereading A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury. Even though I'd read them in October last year, I found that I had already forgotten quite a bit. And like the first time I read them, I didn't…
