REVIEW – Dystopian Future Romance // Omega Awakening by L.V. Lane
Omega Awakening(The Controllers, #0.5) by L.V. Lane This is definitely my favourite book by L.V. Lane that I've read so far.

REVIEW – Gaslamp Fantasy // Tools of the Trade by G.L. Francis
Tools of the TradeThe Suntosun Chronicles #1 by G.L. Francis This was a really captivating series opener. It has left me wanting to read more about Sophie, Kazimir and their adventures.
