This dystopian horror novel that places religion and its structured form as the villain managed to make the interesting premise work while embracing a full cast of really lovable characters. All combined with a masterful depiction of body horror that made this a very compelling horror dystopian novel....more

Bound was a pretty intense story (meaning that you should 100% check the trigger warnings for it), but it was still a very engaging read. A werelynx, a werewolverine, and a harpy is a mix I didn't expect, and this did go to some surprising places, but the three of them were very intriguing (Aren definitely left me wanting to know more about him). I'm excited to see where Aveda takes this combination of characters....more

I received this book from NetGalley and Edelweiss+ as an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

At the beginning I thought I wouldn't like this, but it proved me wrong. Despite the bizarre start this got better and it turned into an enjoyable exploration of growing up as a lesbian. I really loved Molly's view of the world and outright refusal to conform to society's expectations of what it means to be a woman, and a queer one at that.
Although I was excited at the prospect of Anna Paquin being the narrator for this, I found the production of this audiobook somewhat lacking. It didn't take much away from the enjoyment of this story, but it's still worth noting....more
