Childhood Love & Chaotic Devotion
I enjoyed Skin of a Sinner; it was the perfect dark romance to cleanse my palette in between reads. The conflict of wanting and not wanting a Roman Riviera in my life is intensely real. Definitely one of those type of men who only make it in a fake universe.

Karma & A Killer Mascot
Out of all the slashers I’ve read, Most Likely To Die was one of the ones with the highest body count. This killer slashed his way through THIRTEEN people. Absolutely savage. Most Likely To Die was a gory, thrilling, and glorious ride. I loved the surprise ending and that the bullies got their punishments.

Blackmail & Arranged Marriages
Ana Huang’s King of Wrath was not only an immensely enjoyable read, but also eye-opening when it comes to the family dynamic within Chinese and Asian culture. While I found the views of women archaic and infuriating, I’ve also discovered a newfound respect for women in these cultures and dynamics. 4/5 Recommend.

Spooky Parties & Deadly Clowns
There’s No Way I’d Die First was underrated; I happened to love this plot, the kill scenes, the ending, and all the references! I loved the shitty people who got slaughtered, and I loved the main character and her thought process through all this horror. 10/10 would recommend to slasher lovers!

Love & Asylums
The Fabric of Our Souls very literally destroyed me and my masochistic little heart ate it up and begged for more. This book isn’t intended for those for the faint of heart. This read left my heart hurting, my eyes wet, and a yearning for a love like these three had.

Haunted Carnivals & Long Tongues
I enjoyed Tastes Like Candy immensely. The plot takes a little to start off, but whew, once it does??! Unmatched. I loved the atmosphere, the brutality of the killings, and even the crazed motive. However, it did frustrate me as the killer was an unhinged narcissist. One of my new favorite slasher!

Valkyries & Chocolate on Demand
The majority of A Court of Silver Flames focused on Nesta’s healing journey as she came to terms with her new immortality, and her father’s death. Throughout the story, my feelings about Nesta were conflicting. I understood her sadness and her anger; just not her cruelty. Her character development was rewarding, though.

90s Slashers & Time Travel
How to Survive Your Murder has become one of my top favorite slasher novels yet! I ADORE the homage to 90s slashers!! Riddled with references and easter eggs, the plot leaves you at the edge of your seat with anticipation as Valentine feeds you scraps before the delicious main course.

Haunted Camps & Strangers in the Woods
You’re Not Supposed To Die Tonight took a turn I wasn’t expecting… In a good way! I loved the haunted camp attraction idea! This aspect, accompanied by all the horror references, left my spooky-loving heart so happy! Overall, I recommend this book if you love slashers, supernatural twists, and dumb teens!

The World of Crescent City | Characters
Hi Everyone! Below is my ongoing Encyclopedia of the Maas-verse. This post is a two parter, this post focusing on the characters (mainly major ones) and my thoughts about them. In part two of my post, I will discuss and breakdown the lore and government system. Honestly, Little Birds, this is for me more than…
