I’m really excited for Midnight Thief and when Livia Blackburne asked if I’d like to read the prequel novella, Poison Dance, I was all for it! Now, novellas are tricky, and it can especially be tricky to introduce a whole new fantasy world in such a short amount of time. However, Poison Dance did a great job and I was immediately sucked into the world. We meet James, an assassin in the Assassin’s Guild. He’s deadly, he kills for a […]
Let me just start off by saying that I LOVED this book to pieces!! Back in the day, fantasy and high fantasy was all I ever read. When I was younger I used to write — short stories, beginnings of stories, etc — and almost always it would be fantasy. It’s the first genre I loved and is still the genre that I love the most.

It definitely made me think of Mulan – pretending to be a boy, in the army, you can see where I get that – and it really had all the markings of something amazing! […]

This was hilarious and it was probably the bright spot in reading this book. The book starts off with Lorrie about to start up at college again after having to take off a year. Her parents […]
I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive when I started Dare You To. Beth was definitely a prickly character in Pushing the Limits and I wasn’t sure how I’d take to her in this one. I was wrong! In classic Katie McGarry fashion, she writes fantastic characters and stories and relationships that pull you in and doesn’t let you go! In Dare You To, Beth Risk is forced to go live with her uncle after an unfortunate incident […]
