Skin by Tanya Allan (REVIEW)
There is no growth without change. For Edward, truer words were never spoken, as he finds himself transformed into the lovely and self-actualized, Emilia.

The Sissy Pilot By Sara Desmarais (REVIEW)
Although, perhaps, the least sexual of all the Sara Desmarais novels I have had the pleasure of enjoying to date, The Sissy Pilot is the most interesting from a sheer storytelling perspective.

Hops, Follows, and Tag Alongs, Oh My!
The Feature & Follow Hop, courtesy of Parajunkee’s View and Alison Can Read. Q. What hyped up book do you think was not worth all the talk? A. I finally checked out Anita Blake after hearing all the hype, but she just didn’t work for me. Yeah, she kicked ass, but she certainly lacked something. Jonathan Strange &… Continue reading
