Indecisions & Fan Fiction
Vampire Diaries meets Twilight in Britney S. Lewis’s Blood Moon — an ode to the unfairly treated Bonnie Bennett. If you’re looking for dark academia, a smart-witted main female character, and a yearning love triangle then look no further! Spend the weekend learning the folklore behind Timber Plains and Lakeland University!

Fated Stars & Cruel Tyrants
Heavenly Bodies was a pleasure to read. Have you ever felt honored to read a book? Cause that’s how I felt reading it. It’s a story that sticks with you, it buries itself deep in your soul, and heals something within you. I wish that I read Heavenly Bodies sooner!

A Lost Fae Princess & A Draco-Coded Vampire Prince
On Wings of Blood was a decadent read that grabbed me by the ear and dragged me through the plotline’s turmoil before it booted me onto my ass as I frantically scrambled to purchase the sequel. Its filled with jealous, possessive vampires, banter, combat & conflict, and a world so twisted.

Scottish Werewolves & A Stubborn Princess
The Wolf King was an enjoyable and spicy read filled with jaw-dropping banter, an immersive castle setting, and a romance that had me holding my breath and sighing dreamily. ACOTAR meets Blood & Chocolate. I felt as if I were reading a sped-up version of ACOTAR, but with werewolves replacing fae.

Whatcha Reading Wednesday
This week I am reading To Snap A Silver Stem by Sarah A. Parker. It’s the sequel to her dark rapunzel retelling, To Bleed A Crystal Bloom, which reminded me a lot of the Plated Prisoner Series by Raven Kennedy. I’m enjoying it so far, not the most immersive read.

A War College & A Hot Professor
Crown of Light & Shadows was captivating. Every chapter was filled with angst, lore, and an academic vibe I can only attribute to Hogwarts. It’s a little lighter than Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, but it scratches that itch for more than it leaves behind. I’m excited to read the sequels.

Brown Sugar & Peeking Shadows
Of Nectar & Steel was a bit lackluster for me. The ideas were there, but the story fell flat. The romance seemed underdeveloped and rushed, the whole secret society plotline felt ripped off from some distant memory of something else, but chapters were cut up just enough to keep you reading.

Forgotten Heirs & Political Intrigue
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.

Scarred Fae & Sensual Dreams
Day Leitao’s The Cursed Son was a romantasy that focused heavily on the romance part; this wasn’t an issue — the issue was how forced the banter and “tension” were at times. There was also a lot of confusion with the plot and lore, although I chalked that up to the novel being in first-person…

Shrouded Secrets & Harden Stones
The Knight & The Moth for a local book club and damn, it grabbed me by the lapels and swung me around like Miss Trunchbull did to that poor girl. While this wasn’t the first book I’ve read where an oppressive religion ruled over its people, it is the first to have the structure that…
