The Sapphic Inquisition

Ashley Halladay and Chelsea Stephens
4.2 / 5.0
Published: 2025

Description

In the high-stakes, high-stress world of academia and institutional power, the pursuit of truth often comes at a steep price. The Sapphic Inquisition dives headfirst into the messy, exhilarating, and often treacherous landscape of modern relationships and professional upheaval. When the rigid boundaries of expectation clash with the volatile nature of the heart, the protagonists find themselves walking a razor-thin line between holding onto their integrity and succumbing to the pressure of an unforgiving social environment. At its core, the narrative explores the friction between public personas and private desires. Through a series of sharp-witted exchanges and unpredictable conflicts, the authors craft a story that grapples with vulnerability, the complexities of trust, and the fallout of secrets exposed under the harsh light of scrutiny. It is a journey defined by self-discovery, where the characters must weather the storms of their own making to decide who they really want to be. Whether they are navigating the complexities of romance or battling for their place in a world that demands conformity, the tension remains palpable. This is a story for anyone who has ever felt their reality questioned and chosen to double down on their own authentic truth.

Amazing

Okay, so why hadn't I heard of an author this good? Because this is their first book that isn't erotica. Whatever - the characters were so much fun, and just when I thought their obnoxiousness (very appropriate for the Philly 'burbs - I know these people) was going to be too much, one or the other of them reined it in. Did the book need some editing? Absolutely. Glad it was on KU. But it was so good. And while I normally hate time skips, they somehow worked here.

Stick to entertaining

Love the banter but as with a lot of recent sapphic authors, inclusion is going to be the death of sapphic lit. I'm here for the lesbian tropes. She just couldn't resist including poly crap in there like we all haven't observed them in real life and no amount of romanticizing fiction about it will make the reality not gross. Leaving the review after reading the JK Rowling jab. Only virtue signaling activists are offended by Rowling's incredibly popular takes. Normal lesbians don't need a rogue author inserting her opinion into an otherwise entertaining novel. If she has to romanticize poly and insult Rowling, it tells me her next attempt will likely have gender cult nonsense in it too. Shame because I'm hooked on the actual main story.

This was hilarious

This book was honestly so funny but had a good amount of scenes so we could see the building of their connection. Skylar’s monologue that comes at the end of the book I think is relatable to so many queer women. Honestly a job well done writing this. Hands down the funniest banter I’ve read in the past couple of years (for reference I read at least 200 books a year so that’s saying something). Would recommend to anyone who loves a little angst and really funny main characters who just want to be seen.

Review

It was okay. A lot more shallow than I expected tbh and no real character development. A few noticeable technical errors. To me the story read more as an internal dialogue for Nic and everything else just happened to be there, if that makes sense.

Fun read

Hearts flutter with ease and heat. When you find something that is easy to be around and compliments you in every way. You just have to take the leap of faith to see where it leads you and sometimes that leads to your happily ever after.
