Thank you so much to TBR and Beyond Tours for allowing me to take part in this tour for Don't Be a Drag. I have not found many books with drag kings in them, so when Skye announced that their next book was featuring two of them I knew that I wanted to read it! When the cover was revealed, that desire was kicked up to a 10!
Beware of book spoilers in my reviews!

Book Tour: WIFWULF spotlight
I am thrilled to be hosting a spot
on the WIFWULF by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, & Dailen Ogden Blog Tour
hosted by Rockstar
Book Tours. Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway!
About The Book:
Authors: Jackson Lanzing, Collin
Kelly, & Dailen Ogden (Illustrator)
Pub. Date: May 7, 2024
Publisher: Vault Comics
Formats: Paperback, eBook
Pages: 112
Find it: Goodreads, https://books2read.com/WILWULF
Angela Carter's The Company
of Wolves and Emily Carroll's Through the Woods meet Squad (Maggie
Tokuda-Hall and Lisa Sterle), in WIFWULF - a tale of
transformation, blood, and beauty that calls to the wild freedom of our true
selves within each of us.
A haunting story of deep loneliness, raw wounds, wild magic, and the freedom
of transformation.
Wif. Noun, Old English: A Woman; this word is also the
origina from which the word “wife” is derived. Contrast with “wer,” a man.
Wulf. Noun, Old English: A Wolf, a wild carnivorous mammal
of the Canidae family, which lives and hunts in packs.
WIFWULF is an original folklore myth telling the story of
Charity Bjornsdotter, a young woman in 1860's Montana who spends her days in
the woods with her closest friend, a local wolf she calls Silver Slash. Charity
is on the precipice of marriage to the most handsome man in her small village,
the mercurial-yet-beloved Paul Skeld. But as her husband isolates her from
Silver Slash, she begins to feel a call to the wilds...for it is there that her
true destiny awaits. WIFWULF is the harrowing tale of a woman forcibly
separated from that which makes her feel alive, a reinterpretation of the
classic werewolf myth... and the origin story of a new goddess.
A successfully funded, beloved project on Kickstarter, WIFWULF explores
a few facets of trauma but especially speaks to relationship abuse, something
that has touched more than one member of the creative team. It’s a story that
reminds us that even when you feel at your most monstrous, you can find your
way back. But not unchanged.
It is also a story about werewolves. About bloody revenge and deep
loneliness. About the secret, sad meaning behind the howls we hear from the
dark forests on the darkest of nights.
Experience this haunting story in the dark of night, in whatever moonlit warren
you call home – or shed your skin, embrace the night, and run wild with magic –
and become forever changed.
This book contains mature content and may not be for everyone. WIFWULF contains
gore, intimate partner violence, body horror, and animal death.
For fans of Emily Carroll's Through the Woods, Angela
Carter's The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories (specifically: The
Company of Wolves), works by Kelly Link, Carmen Maria Machado's Her
Body and Other Parties, Squad by Maggie Tokuda-Hall and
Lisa Sterle, Clarissa Pinkola Estés' Women Who Run With the Wolves:
Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype, Kelly
Armstrong's Bitten, Pretty Deadly by Kelly Sue DeConnick &
Emma Rios, By Chance or Providence by Becky Cloonan, Monstress by
Marjorie Liu & Sana Takeda, and the films The Witch and Princess
Mononoke (Hayao Miyazaki).
“This just may be the most beautiful ‘werewolf’ story I’ve ever consumed in
any medium.”
-- Chris Shehan (The Autumnal, House of Slaughter)
"A luscious, vicious fever dream of a fairy tale about the cages we
find ourselves in and the true cost of freedom. WIFWULF is the kind of story
that lingers." -- Jody Houser (Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy,
Stranger Things)

Book Tour: THE LAST PHI HUNTER
Thank you so much to Angry Robot Books for allowing me to take part in this tour for The Last Phi Hunter. The cover instantly drew me to this book. It is gorgeous and I just knew that I wanted to check out the book! It also happens to be written by a bisexual author so it fits right into my personal preference of reading queer books or books by queer authors! Check out the author's Instagram post here to follow the entire tour.
