• Review: I Can’t Even Think Straight – Dean Atta

  Coming out for Kai didn’t quite go as planned, but the freedom he finds makes it all worthwhile, even if his best friend Matt isn’t ready to come out yet. Atta has knocked it out of the park again, a beautiful novel with nods to his previous work.

• Review: Rebel Hearts – Tanya Byrne

  There’s two approaches to teaching about the climate, empathy or anarchy and Ren and Pearl are on opposite sides, but for how long? A super sweet romance that fans of Tanya Byrne are going to eat up!

• Review – A Tempest of Tea – Hafsa Faizal

  A tea shop that accommodates the needs of vampires by night is set to be shut down because of their night time guests, but Arthie is having none of it. A fun read with plenty of drama and tea.

• Review: Highly Suspicous and Unfairly Cute – Talia Hibbert

  Academic rivals sign up for the same extra curriculum outdoor adventure for extra credit, but they get a lot more than they bargain for. In typical Hibbert fashion, this is another beautiful romance to add to her repertoire.
