Book Review: The Paradox Initiative by Alydia Rackham

Welcome back to Drink Read Love, and happy Monday. This week, I'm happy to introduce you to one of my favorite up and coming authors, Alydia Rackham. Rackham does a variety of types of work including fanfiction (which was how I was first introduced to her writing, but more on that later this week), screenplays, and original novels. Today, I'll be reviewing one of her novels, The Paradox Initiative. Wednesday we'll have an Author Q&A with Alydia Rackham herself. Friday, I'll have my first Fanfic Friday, and it seems fitting to talk about her fanfic that introduced me to he writing. It's going to be a blast. But for now, let's get down to business with The Paradox Initiative.

Book Review: Lady Cannibal by Jessica Rhodes

CW: This blog post will discuss some difficult themes that are portrayed and dealt with in the book, including descriptions of domestic violence, murder, cannibalism, child abuse, suicide, mental illness, and rape.

Welcome to the inaugural review on Drink Read Love. I'm *really* excited. This is the first book review I've done in a while, much less a review that isn't academic and/or of an academic book for school, and it's been fun. Anyways. On to business. Today I’m reviewing Lady Cannibal (Book 1 in The Serena Raymond Series) by Jessica Rhodes. Lady Cannibal is Rhodes' debut novel, published on October 31, 2015 by Immortal Publishing. Quite frankly, I had trouble deciding on a single book for my first review, but as I was reading Lady Cannibal, the review sort of started to write itself in my head with specific sentences and questions, so I decided this was probably a good book to start with.
