Taking a Vacation – Hiatus Announcement

How is it already September? Seriously, I blinked in March 2020 and here we are with slightly cooler temperatures and Pumpkin Spice (I’m not complaining!). But that’s not the reason for today’s impromptu post. I wanted to let you all know that Reader Voracious is taking a brief hiatus and make it official instead of just ghosting for a couple of weeks like usual.

Right now, I expect to take the month of September off and come back in October refreshed and ready to go, but depending how things progress that may change.

ARC Review: Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw

Haunted houses. Messy people making bad decisions. “Destination horror.” What could go wrong? Nothing But Blackened Teeth is a quiet piece of character-driven horror that draws on Japanese folklore while also shining a light on the horrors of fractured relationships. I absolutely loved this novella and can’t wa

Review: A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson

A Dowry of Blood is hands-down one of the most beautifully written pieces of fiction that I’ve ever read. I hear queer polyam romance with vampires and pick up a copy of the book. I don’t make the rules. I’ve been on a Gothic fiction kick, and this novella came highly recommended to me. It is lyrical perfection and I loved every word of this queer reimagining of Dracula’s brides and it has stayed with me long after reading.

6 Sci-Fi Beach Reads to read this summer

It’s a little late in the Northern Hemisphere’s summer season, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t all looking for the perfect reads to take our mind off the heat. Science fiction tends to be left off of most beach read recommendation lists, so I wanted to put together a list of fast-paced and page-turning science fiction books that make for perfect summer reads.

My criteria for a sci-fi beach read: exciting page turners with a fast pace. These are the books suck you in and keep you engaged in the sun or melting in your home, helping you forget the heat.

Review: Redemptor (Raybearer #2) by Jordan Ifueko

Raybearer was my favorite book of 2020 and I am screaming that I have been blessed with an eARC and it was everything I wanted! This review could easily be a series of screaming gifs. How do you review a book that touches you deeply? This satisfying conclusion to the Raybearer duology charts not only an epic adventure through the Underworld but also has the best character development. I genuinely worked on this review for days and I am sorry this review wound up being an essay on how much Tarisai’s emotional journey meant to me, but it is what it is.

TL;DR this duology is a must-read for fans of rich world-building, found families, and fighting to make the world a better place.
