Casting Lacey, by Elle Spencer

Faking dating, Hollywood, slow burn, and some very bad authorial choices regarding the antagonist; I have an otherwise strong recommendation that is kneecapped by a serious reservation.

Manhattan Moon, by Jae. Here, have my third review of a lesbian werewolf novelette! It's in Jae's Wrasa series and set after the novel I reviewed here, Second Nature.

This week my blog was a stop on the blog tour for the release of Ceillie Simkiss's contemporary f/f novella Learning Curves. I interviewed Ceillie about her own and her leads' neurodivergences and literary preferences.

The Mazarinette and the Musketeer (Heather Rose Jones)

[shewhostaples]

This was a freebie from the author's site. It's a historical jeu d'esprit featuring Hortense Mancini (apologies to everyone who now has the Charles II rap stuck in their heads), Aphra Behn, and Julie d'Aubigny. There's swashbuckling, kidnapping, highway robbery, and espionage, and much of it (precisely how much is explained in a helpful afterword) is based on real events. Recommended if you're in the mood for some frothy fun.
