The Midnight Bargain by C.L. Polk

by Leave a Comment

The Midnight Bargain is a magic-fueled fantasy romance exploring what it means for a woman to conform to societal norms. Beatrice and her family have traveled far to a capital city in search of a husband. Her father has left the finances in a tight spot, which puts intense pressure on her to marry. But Beatrice would much rather become a sorceress and forget this whole marriage thing. But that’s against this society’s rules where women are given a painful binding collar on their wedding […]

A companion to find creative and personal freedom

The Companion by E.E. Ottoman

by Leave a Comment

The Companion by E.E. Ottoman is a queer historical romance featuring a trio of trans characters. Madeline is invited to stay with Victor as his companion. The city and the literary scene of 1949 haven’t been kind to a woman like her. Victor comes off as intense, writing the day away in his secluded room. He is sometimes short but always adamant about welcoming her in his unique way. His home is big enough for them to write in separate corners without disturbing each other. He […]

Finna by Nino Cipri was another Lawless Book Club read back in January. In this science fiction novella, we meet Ava and Jules who work at an Ikea-inspired furniture store called  LitenVärld. They’ve recently broken up and are having issues navigating their work and now-only friendship status. Ava is anxious and unsure of what she wants from anything. Jules is Black and non-binary and more zen about the break-up. They’ve worked through much of their trauma and can’t force Ava to figure herself out. Before […]

Cryptid Curious

Cryptid Club by Sarah Andersen

by Leave a Comment

Do you love illustrations or graphic novels? Do you also love cryptids? Then you should read Cryptid Club by Sarah Andersen. It’s a collection of adorable comics about cryptids. I loved how most of the supposed monsters or aliens are sensitive types and often simply antisocial. We get little vignettes about aliens, Mothman, ghosts, sasquatch, Loch Ness, and more. Most of the characters look harmless and anxious. It felt like a collection of funny facts about cryptids. You can run through rather quickly. There isn’t much […]

Grey’s Anatomy with Werewolves

The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson

by Leave a Comment

The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson had so much hype around the omega verse. I’ve been intrigued about it since it’s been hyped lately in romance circles. So I was excited to read this for Lawless Book Club. Mackenzie is a new doctor and also happens to be an omega wolf, which no one knows at her hospital. In this world, werewolves are out to the public. Her grandma keeps fixing her up on terrible dates. To get her grandma off her back, she lies […]

Magical found families are my cat nip

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

by Leave a Comment

After months of work stress, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches was exactly what I needed. This cozy fantasy romance introduces us to Mika Moon, an orphaned witch living in the UK. She meets every quarter in secret places with fellow witches of Britain. They’re not allowed to talk to each other except at these meetings, lest they be discovered and persecuted. Primrose, Mika’s guardian, is the de facto head of the witches who enforces these rules for the greater good. Much to Primrose’s […]
