The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Genre: Horror, Historical Fiction, Adult, Paranormal, and Fantasy “Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches.” This is not the typical Brujas *Witches* book I thought it would be.

A Language of Dragons by S.F. Williamson

Genre: fantasy, romance, historical fantasy and YA Rate: 5 A language of dragons is a slow burn, enemies to lovers’ dark academia with class systems that is compared to Babel and fourth wing, having read fourth wing I can agree with this comparison.

When she is married into a loveless,…
