Scottish Werewolves & A Stubborn Princess
The Wolf King was an enjoyable and spicy read filled with jaw-dropping banter, an immersive castle setting, and a romance that had me holding my breath and sighing dreamily. ACOTAR meets Blood & Chocolate. I felt as if I were reading a sped-up version of ACOTAR, but with werewolves replacing fae.

Whatcha Reading Wednesday
This week I am reading To Snap A Silver Stem by Sarah A. Parker. It’s the sequel to her dark rapunzel retelling, To Bleed A Crystal Bloom, which reminded me a lot of the Plated Prisoner Series by Raven Kennedy. I’m enjoying it so far, not the most immersive read.

A Cursed Immortal & A Broken Pendant
Until The World Falls Down was a captivating, spicy romantasy written for the hopeless romantics who want a love that transcends time and curses. The atmosphere was like jumping down the rabbit hole and experiencing interactions you never thought of before. 10 out of 10 recommend. I loved this book.

A War College & A Hot Professor
Crown of Light & Shadows was captivating. Every chapter was filled with angst, lore, and an academic vibe I can only attribute to Hogwarts. It’s a little lighter than Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, but it scratches that itch for more than it leaves behind. I’m excited to read the sequels.

Brown Sugar & Peeking Shadows
Of Nectar & Steel was a bit lackluster for me. The ideas were there, but the story fell flat. The romance seemed underdeveloped and rushed, the whole secret society plotline felt ripped off from some distant memory of something else, but chapters were cut up just enough to keep you reading.

Forgotten Heirs & Political Intrigue
Curse of Shadows & Thorns took a bit to get into; the first 200 pages were mostly focused on world-building, the romance, and courtly intrigue. The action picked up towards the end, and since it was such a quick read, I’m excited to see the plot develops over the next 5 books.

Decrepit Manors & Dancing Ghosts
Craven Manor was a fun read! I’ve learned that I enjoy Darcy Coates’ stories, even the cliché ones. They’re quick and give the exact vibes I look for when going into each book. This one followed a man, Daniel, who was down on his luck and got a random job offer. A strange letter showed…

Scarred Fae & Sensual Dreams
Day Leitao’s The Cursed Son was a romantasy that focused heavily on the romance part; this wasn’t an issue — the issue was how forced the banter and “tension” were at times. There was also a lot of confusion with the plot and lore, although I chalked that up to the novel being in first-person…

Drunk Driving & Consequences
Lois Duncan’s I Know What You Did Last Summer in preparation for watching the reboot with my sibling. Honestly? I was disappointed; however, I attribute this to having watched the film first. While I can appreciate a good psychological thriller, I am human, so this was a meh for me.
