Journey’s End is hands down the best Xena Conqueror story I’ve read. L.J. Maas was on fire with this one. Most of this story is written from Xena’s POV, it was as if she had become Xena. At least, that was what it felt like to me 😏. After winning a battle, the Governor of…
The saga of Kal and Charlies continues in this 7th installment of The Alpha God series. Read no further if you don’t want any spoilers. It’s impossible not to give anything away since every installment ends with a major cliffhanger! After book 6 I was anxious to know what would happen next. Of course I…
When I wrote about Like A Calling, I mentioned that I thought it was a prelude to this installment in the series. And it was. Oh yes, it was! My Everything is a rollercoaster. In every way. I wanted to wait with book 7 but that will be impossible. I have to know what happens…
It’s time for a XWP classic! Heaven Down Here was released in 1996. When I began to think how many years ago this is, I couldn’t believe it has been 26 years 😱! That is a bit frightening, to tell you the truth. Luckily my brain still works, and I can remember this story as…
Oh, I had such a conundrum with this one. While reading Biding Time the feeling krept up on me that I lost focus sometimes. Lyn Gardner tells an incredibly elaborate story. And I am impatient. What started as a definite candidate for a favorite title, became a bit of a long-winded story. But wait! I…
The Night Off is another fantastically good erotica novel by Meghan O’Brien. It’s not that I am an absolute fan of erotica per se. When I do read one once in a while, it needs a healthy dose of romance outside the sex. Otherwise, it’s too one-dimensional for me. The balance in Meghan’s books is…
The 4th part already in this great series by Lexa Luthor. And I thought as I was reading, hmmm this is getting a bit predictable. That made me a bit worried that the series would not be as good. But nooooooo, thank goodness 🙏. This was again so good and full of exciting, surprising and emotional twists. Plus, the…
Another XWP ‘blast from the past’. LJ Maas was a Xena fanfic legend. She has written great stories in the Xena fandom. Stories like this one. This was an uber fiction story, what would now be called an Alternative Universe. Casey is Meridio’s Daughter. She is on her way to Mykonos, the Greek island where her father lives. It’s also where she grew…
I’ve been getting a little distracted by all sorts of other things lately. So many things to do, books to read, and so little time 🤦♀️. Anyway, I’ve finally moved on with The Alpha God Serie, book 5 that is. I guess I was a little scared because book 4 ended with a nasty cliffhanger. But in the end, it…
In this 3rd installment in The Alpha God series, the story first returns to Charlie in her youth. It also highlights her friendship with Dorlon. And then the story continues with Charlie on her way to Kal who apparently ended up in a rut because of Charlie. Charlie is determined to help her with that. And she succeeds very…
The 1st book in the series ended disastrously for Charlie. But Kal saves her. According to Kal, because it wasn’t her time to die yet. Charlie must learn to accept what happened. What she cannot put aside is her urge for revenge. Nothing or no one can stop her. You will also learn more about Charlie’s background. Why she was expelled from Earth. How…
I’ve finally started The Alpha God series by Lexa Luthor. And I’m enjoying it so much! I have already finished 2 books in the series because these books are wonderful to read. It kind of reminds me of The 100, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Game of Thrones. It also brings to mind Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and even a…
A bounty hunter, a lone werewolf, vampires, drama, suspense, and romance. What’s not to like about this? Well, nothing. That’s why this book by Lise MacTague is one of my favorites. It’s like the Netflix series First Kill, but for adults 😏. Bounty hunter Marie Alice Nolan, Malice, is genetically engineered and extremely trained making her ultra-strong. She needs this to…
Xena as a bandit in a western story? Yes, anything is possible in fanfiction 🪅. And luckily so! In Towards Sunset, the bandit Jess resides in the town of Meyersville. To pass the time, she goes after the good schoolteacher Mattie. Mattie is intimidated by the arrogant Jess, who seems to care about nothing and no one. But looks are…
Della Street is one of my favorite XWP authors. She knows how to describe the Xena/Gabrielle dynamics so beautifully. And her stories are so romantic 🥰. Her story Resistance is a classic for me. Literally now because she wrote this in the late 90s. It’s a Conqueror story, a timeline in which Xena didn’t choose the light. And I like…
Lexa Luthor is writing a true saga with The Kingdoms of Gyldren series. After the prequel Of Iron and Gold now follows Of Wulf and Wynd (Part One: The Vows of Marriage). Meet Princess Tharon, of the Kingdom of White Sommer, and Princess Roswynd, of the Kingdom of Wyndfeld. They have been best friends since childhood. However, a traumatic event shatters their…
I like mythological stories. I like lesfic stories. And I like stories that aren’t too sweet. Captive in the Underworld ticks all these boxes 😊. Awesome! How wonderful to find so much variety in books and stories these days. Fantasy is truly endless. Captive in the Underworld by Lianyu Tan tells the mythological story of Hades and Persephone. In a lesbian way of…
A Prequel from The Kingdoms of Gyldren Available at Lexa Luthor I’ve written about an omegaverse story before. That was a fanfic story. Not long after that, I found out that published books have appeared in omegaverse, written by Lexa Luthor. First, I love that she writes her books in omegaverse. Second, I think it’s daring. Lesfic is already a niche…
