@vivavaleria@eldritch.cafe on the mammooth site. Reading mostly wlw rom-coms, with the occasional exceptions. I try to rotate languages, but it isn't really easy to find queer romance books in other languages than English. Reviews and comments usually in the same language as the book.

quoted Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur (Written in the Stars, #3)

Alexandria Bellefleur: Count Your Lucky Stars (Paperback, 2022, Avon) 2 stars

Margot Cooper doesn't do relationships. She tried and it blew up in her face, so …

[Margot accidentally runs into her roomate, whom she is horny for but cannot confess it, and who's just leaving the shower wrapped in a towel] [vibrator falls out of Margot's hands, roommate sees it] [AWKWARD] [Cat appears and...] Margot followed Olivia's gaze just in time to witness Cat crouch low, her butt wiggling from side to side, once, twice, before she propelled herself through the air, pouncing on Margot's vibrator. A low buzz filled the hall as the bullet whirred to life. Cat froze, curled up in her ball, pointy-teeth pressed against the silicone. [..]. [Olivia]: "I guess it's safe to say that's ... pussy approved."

Die Geschichte dreht sich vollständig um ein rassistisches Graffiti, und wie verschiedene davon betroffene oder nicht betroffene Menschen damit umgehen. Wie unterschiedlich die einzelnen Auswirkungen auf den Alltag sind. Und schließlich wiedergefundener Schwesternliebe.

'Mischief' is her middle name

What a joy to read! Wren's job is fighting ghosts, but after some useless goldsmith prince is kidnapped she goes further and commands literal zombies, while driving some ironsmith knight to madness. Spooky warrior-girl romcom galore.

reviewed Love and Other Wicked Things by Philline Harms

Philline Harms: Love and Other Wicked Things (Paperback, 2023, Wattpad Books) 4 stars

Here comes the arsonist

4 stars

It's obvious Philline Harms poured so much love into this book. All those little situations that do nothing for the plot but are nice to read. Of course I also enjoyed one of the main characters carrying my name.

However, it's kind of a slow burner (pun intended). All of the plot happens on the last 150 pages, after 200 pages of meet-cute.

"We could do... something else." "Like what?" "I, um." Quinn threw a glace in the direction of their bedside table. "It might be a weird idea. We don't have to do it if you don't want to." "Is this a sex thing?" "No, you rake, it's not a sex thing," Quinn sputtered. "And it concerns me that that's the first thing you thought of." "You asked me if I was up for something weird and then looked suggestively at your nightstand! How does that make me--" "Do you want to help me dye my hair?" Quinn said, raising their voice to speak over Valerie.

Ah yes, the thin line between sex and hair dying

No guns, no leeches, no paramours

5 stars

Such wise rules, but they all break them sometimes, and look what the fucking bloody results are. There's bloodshed, magic based on several mythologies, queers of many genders, an ACAB worldview, and did I mention the zombies? I loved it, all of it.
