Tentacles & No Thanks
Honeysuckles by January Rayne wasn’t my cup of tea. I wasn’t crazy about the plot/creature, but from a writing perspective, it was well written. The spice was good (until the author reminded us that his dick was purple and red with suckers. Send help. This image won’t leave my brain.)

Cornfields & Blood
I found Someone’s Inside Your House entertaining. This was an audiobook listen, and I was definitely at the end of my seat in the office, hoping no one would interrupt me with a task. Haha. The anticipation was real. The author was great at building up anticipation and gory imagery.

Secrets & Screams
I enjoyed the plot of The Mary Shelley Club. I did find it a bit lengthy. There was a lot of character development and such, but no action until the last hundred pages. The plot twist was amazing. Moldavsky left the ending open-ended. I’m definitely hoping she writes a sequel.

Dark Fantasies & Masked Men
Since this was only a 122-page book, Scream For Us didn’t have a tremendous amount of character development. We get a little more background on Quinn and her past, mainly because we’re in her head, but almost nothing about the guys. The plot was pretty much straight smut. 5/5 recommend.
-

Shadows & Lilies
Death’s Obsession followed Lilith, a young woman who recently had a close encounter with death when she was in a massive car accident that took the life of her twin sister, Dahlia. After swearing she saw Death at the accident, she began seeing a figure she called “the faceless man.”

Icy Banter & Liquid Courage
I enjoyed Hannah Grace’s Icebreaker. Very fluffy. The one issue I had was that this book definitely could’ve been 100 pages shorter. There were quite a few filler chapters and scenes that didn’t contribute much to the plot. Maybe a little too much on the character development. 4/5 would recommend.

Veiled Lies & Daggered Maidens
From Blood & Ash was a fast-paced romantasy filled with an oppressive, religious-fueled government, a false chosen one, and forbidden romance that’ll leave you yearning for more. The indepth and immersive world-building to help even out the romance and banter. The atmosphere and characters that Armentrout built were amazing and infuriating.

Soft Curves & Sharp Arrows
Between Wrath & Mercy was probably one of my favorite Romantasy novels as an adult. While it is a long read, I was captivated by the plot and the world-building. Jess Wisecup keeps you engaged by not revealing the character’s past all at once; you only get snippets of it throughout.

Goddess Vs. Princess
Wendy Higgins’ Soul In Darkness is a book that will leave you with withdrawals. After reading the last page, I sat there for a few minutes more and just took it all in. It had such a happy ending and was just so incredibly well-written. I want to re-read already!!

Love & Second Chances
Molly O’Keefe’s The Tycoon follows Veronica King, a twenty-eight-year-old woman, whose father just passed away, leaving her with nothing. Daughter of the CEO of King Industries, Veronica was engaged to be married five years prior, until the night before her wedding, when she discovered her fiancé was only marrying her for money.
