The blackfire blade by James Logan Review: The Last Legacy – Book Two The second installment of The Last Legacy series once again follows the adventures of Lukan Gardova — an anti-heroic, reckless, and stubborn aristocrat with a taste for wine and trouble. ‘A thousand of card games, drinks, and bad choices’.

I had the pleasure of reading the ARC of Beneath the Veil by Sienna Hawthorne. This fantasy romance follows Ravenna, an oracle who dreams of the deaths of people in her village.

Rate: 3.5/5 Spice: 4/5 Hawthorne writing style is simple and accessible, though a few typos slipped through. Still, the story has clear potential. I am...
