Blood Magic & Pretty Moths
I wasn’t expecting this book to grab me by the collar and coax me in. The climax broke me, and the ending shattered me. The plot was filled with courtly intrigue, goose chases, illusions, magic, and forbidden romance. I ate it up and now I may have a book hangover.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Cold Cases & Small Town Minds
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder left me wanting more, and thankfully, there is! I enjoyed the way Jackson ended each chapter with some type of evidential entry to the case, and the way it kept me guessing. The plot moved a bit slowly at first, but it picked up quickly.

Murder & PTA Moms
Big Little Lies was an entertaining enough read. It was a little too slow for me and way too much drama for my liking. Moriarty did well with the glimpse she gave into toxic and abusive marriages, how women deal with extramarital affairs, and how other parents deal with child bullies.

Murder & Dog Lovers
In Samantha Downing’s Sleeping Dogs Lie, Shelby worked as a dog walker in Northern California, and she’s just finished up her biweekly trip to the park with a husky named Pluto. When she brings him back to his house, she finds his owner dead, Todd Burke, on the bathroom floor.
