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.

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.

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.

Summer Camp and Floating Townies
Welcome to Camp Alpine Lake, a summer camp for teenage wealth… The Counselors was a fun, engaging murder mystery that was filled with mischief, twists, drama, and that campy, small-town feel I love in mysteries! Definitely one of my new favorite mystery reads! Definitely a must read for those wanting nostalgia.

Steep Mountains & Comatosed Girls
Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets was your average teen thriller with a lot of build-up and a mediocre ending. This plot line had so much potential, but it fell flat. I felt like there could’ve been more. The characters were well-developed, the setting was believable, and the writing style was decent.

Hidden Powers & Cruel Royals
What Lurks Between the Fates took off where the previous book left off; Caldris and Estrella made it to Alfheimr but were immediately captured by Caldris’s abusive stepmother, Queen Mab. The focus of this book was to discover what powers Estrella had and to determine whether or not she was fae.

A Goddess & An Army of the Dead
What Hunts Inside the Shadows was definitely more plot-heavy than its predecessor – which we love. We still got some good spice but it focused more on the world’s lore and the origin of everything. The blend of religions and lore was intriguing and enjoyable. Want smut? Plot? Lore and action?

Fae Marks & Hot Springs
What Lies Beyond the Veil was the perfect smutty fantasy read I needed. Loads of amazing spice while still maintaining world-building and lore. I listened to the entire series on Audible, and it had quite the chokehold on me! Caelum reminded me of Henry Cavill’s drool-worthy character, Geralt from The Witcher.

Spain & The Slowest Burn
A Spanish Love Deception was most definitely another BookTok deception. I feel betrayed, bamboozled, and hoodwinked. I don’t mind a fluffy cozy romance, but for the love of all things good and sinful, THIS IS NOT A SPICY NOVEL TF. If I wasn’t misled, I’d have given a better rating.
