A Little Sin Review — Is It Worth Reading?

A Little Sin by Rawnie Sabor book cover

Verdict: A femdom D/s arrangement written as slow, deliberate character repair, with 5/5 heat and one of the most carefully negotiated dynamics in indie sapphic romance — undercut by 558 pages that repeat themselves and a supernatural plot that never earns its keep. Best for: Readers who want kink written as intimacy rather than shock, … Read more

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil Review — Is It Worth Reading?

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab book cover

Updated on October 6, 2026 Verdict: A gorgeous, angry, three-timeline sapphic vampire novel with real literary ambition, held back by repetition across its 535 pages and by the fact that, whatever the shelf says, it is not a romance.

The Weight of Her Gaze Review — Is It Worth Reading?

The Weight of Her Gaze by RJ Martin book cover

Updated on October 7, 2026 Verdict: A slow-burn sapphic con-artist romance set in a mythological classical Greece — a thief, a courtesan and a lie at the centre of everything — with too few reader reviews yet for us to score it honestly. Best for: Readers who want a heist-and-deception romance in an ancient setting, … Read more

The Assassin and the Sorceress Review — Is It Worth Reading?

The Assassin and the Sorceress by N.R.G. Selove book cover

Updated on October 6, 2026 Verdict: A warm, character-first sapphic quest fantasy with an autistic elf assassin whom readers praise almost unanimously, held back by a romance that several readers say moves too fast and a rating built partly on advance copies. Best for: Readers who want authentic autistic representation, a queer-normative epic fantasy world … Read more

Will It Hurt? (Lily X) Review — Is It Worth Reading?

Will It Hurt? by Lily X book cover

Updated on October 6, 2026 Verdict: A funny, grief-soaked witch-and-vampire story with a real sense of Edinburgh and leads you rarely see in sapphic vampire romance, held back by a love story that keeps stepping aside for the resurrection quest. Best for: Readers who want vampire romance with a plot engine and a South Asian … Read more

A Restless Truth (Freya Marske) Review — Is It Worth Reading?

A Restless Truth by Freya Marske book cover

Updated on October 6, 2026 Verdict: The sapphic middle book of a finished trilogy — a witty shipboard murder mystery with a charged ingénue-and-actress romance and real heat, held back by a slow first act and a mystery that never quite turns into suspense. Best for: Readers who want Edwardian magic, banter and an open-door … Read more

Consort of Fire Review — Is It Worth Reading?

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha book cover

Updated on October 6, 2026 Verdict: A lush, very explicit F/F/M romantasy built on an established sapphic couple and a dragon god who is not what they were promised, held back by a thin plot that many readers say is mostly travel and sex.

Bone of My Bone Review — Is It Worth Reading?

Bone of My Bone by Johanna van Veen book cover

Updated on October 5, 2026 Verdict: A vivid, gory and genuinely strange 1635 folk-horror quest with prose readers keep praising, let down by a romance that many say never earns its place and a middle that loses its grip. Best for: Readers who want historical horror first and a sapphic bond second, who can take … Read more

The Book of Blood and Roses Review — Is It Worth Reading?

The Book of Blood and Roses by Annie Summerlee book cover

Updated on October 5, 2026 Verdict: A vampire-academy romantasy with a genuinely charged hunter-and-vampire pairing and a well-loved audiobook, let down by a rushed final act and plot turns that arrive a little too conveniently.
