    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.

    This one was a tough, tough read due to the extent of Mancella’s power. I spent a lot of this read sobbing; that being said, I do recommend it. I enjoyed the lore and worldbuilding of the story.

    Fearless, the conclusion to Lauren Roberts’ Powerless Trilogy, ripped my heart out at least four times, collected my tears in a jar, sewed me back together, gently kissed my cheek as it ended, and left me with a two-month-long book hangover. 10/10 would recommend.

    Once Upon A Broken Heart was a quick five-star read for me that left me enchanted and wanting. The worldbuilding provided an elegance that matched fairytales and a female protagonist who gave off naive damsel in distress vibes, who inevitably got involved with a morally grey immortal.

    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!

    The Never King was a kinky Peter Pan and the Lost Boys retelling, except this time Peter Pan was the villain. It was the perfect palette cleanser in between several dense reads. It satiated the craving for fantasy without exhausting you. Keeping you hooked and bothered enough to read on.

    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!

    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?
