For this batch of quick reviews, I have a bunch of books in Maz Maddox's Stallion Ridge series! It's a series of connected m/m romance stories, so I recommend reading them in order, though each focuses on a different main couple, set in a fantasy Wild West world filled with different paranormal creatures. All these books are quick, sweet reads that have uncomplicated plots and focus mostly on...
My blog is going in a really weird direction I had not expected when I created it. But this is what I do now! I rank things! Well, I ranked two things (sci-f worlds and fantasy worlds), so this is obviously the logical next step. I'm gonna rank supernatural creatures by how fuckable they are! It'll be great. Trust me. There are about a million different types of supernaturals out there, so...

It's #Mermay! That time of year when artists start flooding Twitter and other social media with gorgeous drawings of mermaids, mermen, and merpals of all genders and even species. (Myself included this year!) So I thought, what better topic to give book recs for than merfolk? Unfortunately I haven't read a ton of mer books, despite them being one of my favorite supernatural creatures. I've got a...

Meanwhile, Chris is just trying to survive, and his family must decide whether rescuing him is worth the...
When I was a kid, there were only two things I constantly pretended to be, and one of them was a mermaid. I used to spread my parents' blue comforter out on their floor and drag myself around on it, pretend it was the ocean. In our little pool, and even in my grandparents' hot tub, I'd pretend I was, well, essentially a mermaid veterinarian, helping all the injured sea creatures. I don't really...
