Ben Galley’s debut novel paints an intricate story with fantastic characters putting a new spin on popular myths while struggling to save their world. As with any high fantasy, expect crazy names and plenty of metaphors.

Hex at a House Party, by Gretchen Galway - Book review
In this installment, Alma is sent to a house party to spy on the witches on behalf of the protectorate.

Bad Moon, by Shyla Colt - Book Review
Bad Moon was definitely not my favorite book, but this doesn’t necessarily mean it was a bad story. Just because I didn’t like it doesn’t mean other people wouldn’t enjoy it.

Dark Touch, by Elle Lewis, was a quick but interesting read. Although the text was embellished with plenty of adjectives and metaphors (which I associate more with epic fantasy than urban fantasy), the plot was fresh, immersive (the battle scenes were written in such a manner that it felt like watching an action movie), and engrossing.
