Book Review: Two in the Bush

Book review for Two in the Bush, by Judith Hale Everett. The first book in her Branwell Chronicles, Two in the Bush is a delightful regency romance written in the style of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, and perfect for readers who feel as though they've exhausted the classics but still crave that literary experience. It's clean, witty, and hits all the right romantic feels. From dangerous Gothic fantasies to stubbornly resisting clear attraction, this book was a fun escape into the regency era.

Book review for Son of Osivirius, by Cathryn deVries. Three words: giant flying cats. A clean dystopian romantic science fantasy action adventure, Son of Osivirius shows the clash between control and harmony on a planet where continued "upward growth and prosperity" comes at the cost of balance with nature.
