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…

A Key & The Right Tyde
I found Of the Stars & Sea to be a diamond in a haystack. It was a refreshing fantasy read, as it deviated from the fae hype and delved into the world of pirates and treasure hunting. I loved the romance and banter! I was kicking my feet at times. The worldbuilding was moderately immersive,…

Winged Vamps & Hidden Heirs
The Serpent and the Wings of Night wrecked me. The last 30% of the book had me sobbing, yearning, and aching. The twists left me gasping, the banter had me laughing, and the ending had me begging for more.

Shadows & One Hot Nightmare
Sweet Nightmare’s plot and lore were interesting… Think The Originals meets The Shadow Court of ACOTAR. It left so many unanswered questions! It is a series, so fortunately, that’s not a con of this book. What happened to Clementine’s mother? How is Henri? Why was he imprisoned? I’m ready for book 2, please.

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.

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.

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.

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.
