Captive of the Crime Queen by Persephone Black book cover

Updated on October 8, 2026 Verdict: A short, steamy sapphic mafia romance with a great opening — a crime queen steals her brother’s bride from the altar — that most readers binge happily, held back by an age-gap backstory some readers cannot get past, prose that reminds many of Wattpad, and a cliffhanger that forces … Read more

To The Bone Review — Is It Worth Reading?

Updated on October 8, 2026 Verdict: A sapphic why-choose with a strong revenge premise — a sorority of women who go after men who hurt women — and far more sex than romance, held back by rough editing, a heroine who is aroused on almost every page and a cliffhanger that leaves most of its … Read more

Road to Ruin Review — Is It Worth Reading?

Updated on October 8, 2026 Verdict: A dark sapphic why-choose that is far more slow burn than its marketing suggests — vigilante masc bikers, a “totally straight” heroine and a buried mystery that readers love, held back by thin editing, a slow middle and a cliffhanger ending.
