Old School Hollywood with Demon Deals

Siren Queen by Nghi Vo

by Leave a Comment

Holy crap, I want more! Siren Queen is the story of Luli Wei, a star who stole her sister’s name to become famous and became the monster in many films, but also managed to find love and friendship outside the monstrous side of Hollywood.

Now to wait for the spin-offs~ Shae and her cousin are sent to Italy by the Council of Aunties to retrieve her other cousin, but almost immediately she runs into Salvatore – a man she met […]

A Warm, Queer Hug

The One True Me and You by Remi K. England

by 4 Comments

This book is nothing less than a warm hug! It was exactly what I needed to bring some light and joy to my day, and I don’t know if I can express how much it means that it exists. Kaylee is in Orlando for GreatCon, a fan convention for Sherlock show The Great Game, and a chance for them to try out they/them pronouns and work on figuring out if they like girls. Teagan is there for a pageant that would give her a scholarship […]
