MONSTERS COME IN EVERY FORM

A starving family in the 1600s is forced to kill and eat a strange blue animal, with hideous consequences. An escaped prisoner finds himself newly imprisoned by the thing to which he has been betrothed. A boy set on losing his virginity loses much more than that. A man returning to his hometown to discover the magic of his youth finds instead the wretched personification of that harrowing time. A homeless man squats in a tomb, much to the chagrin of its original occupant . . .

In this collection, Joshua Rex, acclaimed author of The Inamorta and The Descent and Other Strange Stories, presents a gallery of the monstrous: fifteen raw stories about terror, grief, predators, and horrors historical and present. Lurking in these pages are monsters you never knew were there—creatures and phantoms and foreshadowings crouching in your future, in your worst dreams, in the corners of the ceiling in your room.

A moving homage to women everywhere that you are enough
Format: Kindle
This standalone story is a moving homage to women everywhere that you are enough; and that it is ok to be selfish, to love yourself, and you are deserving of love. I have read this book twice now and both times I cried and laughed. It is a moving story about how a selfless woman who not only perseveres through many challenges that she faces both past and present, but also learns to live rather than just survive; and enjoy what life and her new religion have to offer. As a woman in my later years, I found Edie Finch’s journey profoundly moving and deeply affirming. Seeing a heroine in her late 30s was not only refreshing, but it gave me someone to truly relate to—her tenacity, selflessness, gentle humor, and resilience struck a powerful chord. Despite enduring unimaginable hardships—an abusive ex-husband and family, becoming a prisoner, forced into a marriage, the sudden awakening of earth magic, and navigating a bond with a new goddess —Edie remains grounded, compassionate, and brave. And through all of that, she still manages to find something rare and beautiful: real love, inner peace, and a chosen family that cherishes her. Reynolds masterfully crafts a slow-burning romance rooted in emotional truth, layered with rich, believable magic. There are no shortcuts—no instant attraction, no overdone tropes, no sudden omnipotence or conveniently accepted lore. Everything unfolds with care and intention. Each revelation feels earned, each relationship feels real. I was fully immersed in Edie’s world from beginning to end, and left feeling both heartened and inspired. This story didn’t just entertain—it stayed with me. And I also need to point out that Alric Angler should be a standard for which men/partners should be held to. As a private man of few words he expressed his love not through dramatic declarations, but through quiet, meaningful actions. It wasn’t about grand, expensive gestures (though there were a few); it was the thoughtful, everyday things—like replacing Edie’s worn comb or getting her bookends to support her growing collection—that spoke volumes. Watching his relationship with Edie unfold with such tenderness and patience was a joy.

emotional. heart warming
Format: Kindle
It was a good book, the relationships with the friends a main part of it. I do wish there was more spice because she slow burned us to death and then gave us this a closed door. Lol But it was well written and poignant.

I am begging you to read this book
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
A group of women trapped in a temple during an invasion who pretend to be sacred priestesses to avoid being killed and it actually works. That is the setup. That is the whole brilliant premise behind the title and honestly it had me from the first chapter. But what keeps you reading is Edie. She is not a chosen one, not a warrior, not a princess. She is older, she has already lived a full complicated life before this story starts, and that history shapes every decision she makes. When everything falls apart and she ends up somewhere she never expected to be, she does not transform overnight. She reads the room, adjusts, and keeps going. It sounds simple but it is so refreshing compared to what fantasy usually gives us. The women around her are just as important. They do not instantly become a perfect found family. They figure each other out slowly, earn each other's trust over time, and what builds between them ended up being one of my favorite things about this entire book. The romance is slow burn done right. Not manufactured tension, not two people being stubborn for no reason. Real yearning, real patience, real payoff. The magic and world building are present without being overwhelming. There is a nature and ritual element running through everything that gives the story a distinct feel without stopping to explain itself every five minutes. The final stretch of this book is something I was not prepared for. By that point you are so invested in these characters that everything carries weight it would not have had on page one. If you want wall to wall action this is not your book. If you want fantasy that actually makes you feel something, this is exactly your book. One of my favorite reads in a long time. When I was finished reading it, I just kinda sat there... trying to savor every moment of it. Five stars. I recommend this to everyone I know.

BLEW ME AWAY! Loved every moment
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
My new FAVORITE BOOK! Priestess by Kara Reynolds blew me away from start to finish. This is a beautiful story about feminine power, sacrifice, self-worth, friendship, found family, healing and love. And the SLOW burn romance is excruciating and exquisite in the best way (“I am beyond temptation, I have been tempted and I have surrendered”). It was especially wonderful to find a fantasy novel with an FMC in her late 30s that is very relatable. It explores the topics of finding love later in life, fertility and the struggles women have with attaching self-worth with motherhood (My mother says all women are mothers in different ways, that we all give birth, just not all to children. Some women give birth to revolutions, to movements, to sanctuary, to art, to brilliance.”) GAHHH love this. I felt so seen. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat, dying to turn the pages faster to know what happens and at the same time wanting to slow down and enjoy Reynolds beautiful prose and savor each chapter. The ending was perfect and the authors note made me cry. I CANNOT wait to read Illuminator and Pilgrimess which will be out April 28th!!!! Kara Reynolds is def on my auto-buy list 💚

Take a jaunt to Tintar, a city of blue abalones and black stone set above the angry sea...
Format: Paperback
Edie is a clever, gutsy heroine, who is lucky to be surrounded by a crew of likewise interesting ladies. Their tender moments in the bath and at the bar alike were very lovely, and the themes of female friendship were refreshing. My favorite parts had to do with the magic of this world, which is very novel. Often there's elemental magic, earth gets the short end of the stick. Not so here. The power of earth in this seaside landscape cannot be underestimated, and I really enjoyed that twist. Earth signs, at least, will rejoice in seeing their element treated with real consideration. All of the scenes of magic and old gods were A+, and I loved the weirdness of the rocks first coming to her in the forest, then erupting from the ground to let her know without a doubt what her strength was, and finally forming majestic creatures to rescue her new home—all based on the women who had supported and loved her. The final conflict was excellent. There was a real sense that Edie was going to sacrifice something that she did not want to let go of, which you don't get that often. (Plus, it was pretty funny when a certain someone got tossed over a wall.) Finally, given the themes of womanhood in this book, I am going to pull a word from the big reviewers' lexicon and say that this book is /timely/. What it says about what women are and are not, how it explores Edie's feelings about her body, were thoughtful and illuminating and, yes, timely and given the political climate we are now in—I will even add /necessary/ to that list. It's a rich, femme-centric fantasy epic that made me think about womanhood (and motherhood) in a new light.
