Book Review: The Mask of Mirrors by M. A. Carrick
The Mask of Mirrors is a book that seemed like it had my name written all over it: a female con artist worming her way into a wealthy noble family, a magical sickness plaguing the city, and more politics than you can shake a stick at.

It has been a tough week for reading and blogging because of general life things (again, all good stuff), but I did manage to read one book this week.
Review: Spellbook of the Lost and Found
I took a chance on Moira Fowley-Doyle's Spellbook of the Lost and Found after falling in love with its gorgeous cover on Twitter. I haven't read The Accident Season, her debut novel, so I didn't really know what to expect in terms of style.
ARC Review: The Never King
The Never King is the newest novel from Mark Charan Newton, who is writing under the pseudonym James Abbott. I hadn't read any of Newton's books before diving into this one, but was intrigued nonetheless.
Discussion: Series or Standalone?
Series are popular for authors and publishers, every genre book that's released lately seems to be part of a series. But what do readers prefer?
