Synopsis - Lane Clarke's debut LOVE TIMES INFINITY, about a 16-year-old girl busy with big dreams for college and the biggest crush on the school's new basketball superstar—but when her estranged mother suddenly reappears in her life, she faces important questions about the chances she's willing to take on herself and her future. 

My review - thank you to @theNOVL for an arc copy! it's for promo purposes but this is my honest review!

Love Times Infinity is a book about forgiveness and believing that you are deserving of love. This is a YA contemporary romance from a debut author! It has black rep, Jewish rep, sapphic rep and mental health rep. This book gets heavy at times so check TWs. I was happy to see a character struggling with mental health in therapy, we need more books to show that & normalize it. I loved michie’s grandma, her best friend Jojo, and the romance with Derek. Bonus points for the percy jackson references.

Hemlock Queen - 4/5 stars, sequel to the Foxglove King. Romantasy! I can't be the only one pining for Bastian, Gabriel and Lore to just all be together right guys? Give me book three after that cliffhanger. Really enjoyed the gods backstory in this one and how they are all tied together.   A Feather so Black - a fun adult romantasy for fans of the Cruel Prince and Emily Wilde. Fae, changelings and curses galore. It's also a swan lake retelling! This book set out to do a lot in 500 pages and pulls it off well. Excited for book 2 in the series.  Lady of Light and Shadows - 4/5 stars. Second book in the Tairen Soul series, now with new covers! This is a romantasy series for fans of acotar.

A Darker Mischief

Book Info: A Darker Mischief by Derek Milman Genre: Young Adult Mystery/Thriller Publishing Date: July 2, 2024 Review - 4/5 stars  This was a fun queer dark academia YA thriller. I would say this is definitely more upper YA, I don't think I would have understood most of this or it would've been too much at ages 14-16. There's a lot of interesting history/architect information that made it feel dark academia. I really like how this book ended and we saw where everyone sort of ended up.   Synopsis: The Honeys  meets  The Secret History  in a work of dark academia like no other — a boarding school thriller about a queer teen from Mississippi who finds himself swept into a world of old money, privilege, and the secret society at the heart of it all. When Cal Ware wins a scholarship to an elite New England boarding school, he’s thrilled to leave his past behind. Back home in Mississippi, he was the poor, queer kid who never fit in. But at Essex Academy, he’ll be able...
