The breadth of this author’s writing is just awesome. While the main character was consistent, I had to remind myself what the first book in the series was about because it was so vastly different that I had trouble remembering. The first felt like a stone’s throw away from a locked-room, cozy crossover set on...

Book Review – Origin Story by Jendi Reiter – @JendiReiter @PrideBookTours – #Gifted #LGBTQIAPlus #Literary Fiction #ReadQueerAllYear
This book is not for the faint of heart.
