Hellish Princes & Warring Theologies
·
The Deer And The Dragon was pushed onto me by the B&N employees (they got me, what can I say? I’m weak) and it was worth the guilt to people please a stranger. It was rich in plot, lore, worldbuilding, sexual exploration/expression, and perfected with witty banter. My kinda read.

Mystery Parties & Curious Enthrallment
·
I read Kill Joy with my friend after we had already finished the series (whoops lol), and all I can say is the only reason I put it down was that it sparked ideas for my own for a murder mystery party! I loved the game’s storyline of a 1920s murder mystery.

Serial Killers & Vigilantes

Holly Jackson’s As Good As Dead was a WILD ride. The plot took a turn I NEVER saw coming! Trust me when I say only Holly had the map during this journey. I was just along for the ride screaming. This book left me reeling, spiraling, and bereft. 5/5 recommend.

Perfect Little Monsters is an ode to every bully victim who just wants to snap. Perfect amount of build-up, gore, and just the right amount of monsters.

19th Century Egypt & Ancient Magic
·
What The River Knows was everything I wanted and more. If you’re craving the vibe from the movie The Mummy, this book is for you. The action kept me on my toes, the twists and turns of trying to figure out who to trust kept me reading. Still reeling at the ending!

Dark Fairytales & Asylum Girls
·
The Never King was a kinky Peter Pan and the Lost Boys retelling, except this time Peter Pan was the villain. It was the perfect palette cleanser in between several dense reads. It satiated the craving for fantasy without exhausting you. Keeping you hooked and bothered enough to read on.

Ancient Trials & Ancient Gods
·
Lore was my favorite read of May! It was so rich in adventure, trials/games, and myth! It was a more mature version of Percy Jackson, with a mix of elements from The Hunger Games. Alexandra Bracken did splendid enriching her storyline with traditional Greek myth while incorporating her own twist on it!

Grief & Undue Blame
·
The ROLLERCOASTER of emotions that As Good As Dead gave me, had me on edge the entire time. The ending had me sobbing! My heart broke for some of the characters’ ending. Definitely had to take a few days to emotionally recover, if I’m being honest as well as dramatic.

Masks & Smutty Filth
·
Evil Boys was absolutely filthy, and I loved it. Evil Boys was 100% smut with a sprinkle of plot. The whole mafia and killing gang plotline was interesting, but honestly, I only endured it for Kai. There were a few scenes where it was a little tough for me to right. Check TWs.
