Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Jade Lion and the Witch Boy

4/5: A good addition to an excellent second series of own voices authors. This particular story also added just as important PoC representation, different for both MCs. The ideas were good, with the j...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Heart of the Wren

5/5: A great start to a new season of these wonderful books. This was a particularly clever piece of 1980s Ireland, Irish folklore, and some really creepy happenings. Lorcan and Dara really fit togeth...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Romance in Autumn

5/5: A really enjoyable mix of shorter stories, more contemporary but also some fantasy and paranormal elements sprinkled through. It's crucial to give own voices authors a prominent space in their ca...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Absolutely Pucked (Punk as Puck 3)

5/5: 4.5 stars. Killian was such a supremely awful character earlier in the series that it felt really unlikely that he could ever be redeemed. I'm so impressed with the author that not only did this ...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of What Grows Wild (Skin Sessions, #6)

4/5: The sixth part of this unique series. Issan and his greenhouse with unusual new plants added yet another layer to these stories. Lucifer is new on the scene, although he definitely wasn't happy. ...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Nothing But the Night (Basic Instincts Book 2)

5/5: The second part of this series, but could be read as a standalone. It was really full of action, danger, and suspense. There was a bit less intimacy between these MCs, but it fit well into the st...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Bend Him Break Him

5/5: 4.5 stars. Great cover that really fits the characters. I loved the start and the second half, only the bit in between didn't quite work for me personally. I think the phase between Isaac being n...

Saskia Veldhuis 's review of Client Privilege

5/5: Audiobook - very good narration. It did sound unusual in my airpods - the voices sounded as if they came from different directions (stereo). This isn't negative, just not something I have experie...
