About

Beyond the Spine is a blog dedicated to book reviews. Our reviews are focused on four genres: fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and romance.


About the Writers

Beyond the Spine Reviews was created by one wannabe-published-novelist: Mel.

I wanted to be able to put my thoughts about books into words, so that I might write more intelligently later.

It’s also about measuring who I am as a reader; what I value and what I don’t.

It’s not just me here, though! You can read about our main contributors below.


Meet the authors:

Mel is a fantasy book enthusiast. She loves to read, write, and review fantasy novels.

She used to post fun videos on BookTok, but a full-time job means she focuses more on the written reviews these days.
