    This is my first mermaid or rather merman story and boy do we need more of them. I wonder if all mermen stories have companion animals as well?

    This is a STEM heavy story with a 30+ FMC who is searching for her merman, though she doesn’t know that’s what she’s doing. The search takes place in Canada.

    She must choose between the land life or the sea. I can’t tell you which one, you’ll have to read it to find out.

    Interesting underwater breathing system that is both scientifically inaccurate (obviously) and also makes sense for the story.

    The author has stated this was inspired by Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians and so the smut be smutting.

    We’ve been calling it the “smutty pagemaster” story. Obviously the MMC is a book so you can see where we were going there. However, it turns out the spine is not where the face is and has other purposes * wink*

    The story centers on a teacher in Ghostlight Falls and the school there. We learn there is a ghost receptionist at the school, which makes sense.

    There are also a lot of puns and 90’s references and you’ll need to read the story to find out why.

    We learned there may be other uses for ribbon books marks and that you can in fact fly on a book.

    There is a mystery that needs to be solved and it kind of is. We obviously need there to be a book two to answer some of the other question that arise.

    Did you ever eat that bubble gum that came in the baseball packaged paper? Big League Chew? Well, this story is like that bubble gum.

    It’s a F/F story as well as a human an a 2D human story? One of them is paper. It’s magic, you know how it goes. Also, the paper human is also made of bubble gum. It’s a whole thing, Bubbles.

    The underworld is associated with this story, but you’ll need to read it to find out how. It’s quite the twist.

    Oh, this isn’t a sports romance, but it has the theme of sports in it. If your here for the sentient object romance and magic stuff of Ghostlight Falls you’re in the right place.

    This a cozy romance story set in the new town of Blackthorn Valley a town for Witches and Monsters, but not Trolls or Orcs.

    The founding members of Blackthorn Valley give off Charmed or Witches of EastWick vibes. Each member has a different power and is a different type of monster with the exception of one human. Shhhhhhhh!

    They accidentally call a shifter, a Werewolf named Guy to their new town. He not only brings his whole pack, but he also finds his mate there.

    There is some eggplanting, but it’s more along the lines of romantisy smut and happens towards the endish of the book.

    There is a small battle, but it’s more of a coupke fires and a few fights with Trolls and Orcs. Nothing these witches and werewolfs can’t handle.

    There is one Gargoyle who eventually works security for the town and there’s even a ghost who came with the town. There’s something shifty going on with the Library, but we’re not sure what yet.

    Guess we need to see what happens in book two

    Sheety Stationary the store, really stole my breath away ❤ it’s a store that is alive. I love when it just gets up and walks around. Oh Sheety *swoon*

    This is an alien romance...well, it’s a thruple romance. There is breeding and there is eventually going to be a child. It’s part of the breeding.

    However, I learned these are different aliens from The Close Encounter of the Ghostlight Falls kind. These ones drove into town as opposed to crash landing into town.

    Tillie is the FMC and she is a hot mess. Her life has just kind of blown up on her and she could really use some help. So glad she found her well dressed and put together aliens to help her.

    We again get to meet new people of Ghostlight Falls and we get to see Mappy who seems like a nice guy who flirts with everyone and does pushups on the steps of the visitor center. Seems fine.

    What is he?! He calls himself a gremlin so….whatever he is, we are into it and want our own *drool*

    Not only do you learn more about the town of Ghostlight Falls, but also the people and the bakery. The MMC is named Grim and he’s looking for help

    Advertisement for help wanted at Grim’s bakery

    We love a male who knows how to be in the kitchen. Give us all the bread and baked goods with that eggplant *wink*

    Oh yeah, there’s lots of breeding, but don’t worry no babies. Just a lot of milk, if you know what we mean

    There is also a cat and then a new animal companion that’s a lupig…I think it’s called Charlie…I don’t remember. Too much milk.

    There’s also fighting with a goatman who is also the fire department so not sure if they’ll get saved in the future.

    Anyways, don’t forget to stop by Grim’s on your tour through Ghostlight Falls

    A true fae story, like a true fantasy romance story.

    It’s a great book for those first encountering F/F romances and romantasy. Meaning the spice is very beginner friendly 🙂 

    The main plot line revolves around fae politics and this choosing ceremony. Throughout the story we see development of the two FMC and learn a little bit more about this fae world. 

    I think the way the author handled pregnancy and procreation was well done and fits within the fae workings. Don’t worry it’s only at the end.

    I hope the side characters we are introduced to get their own books. I am excited to learn more about this world and these characters. 

    It is a HEA story and there is a cat involved, but he’s just cute in it. Doesn’t seem to have any magical powers. 

    This book would be great for fans of Holly Black so the author may also be fae then, which is even more reason to read this TRUE story 🙂
