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.

Mystery Parties & Curious Enthrallment
I read Kill Joy with my friend after we had already finished the series (whoops lol), and all I can say is the only reason I put it down was that it sparked ideas for my own for a murder mystery party! I loved the game’s storyline of a 1920s murder mystery.

Serial Killers & Vigilantes
Holly Jackson’s As Good As Dead was a WILD ride. The plot took a turn I NEVER saw coming! Trust me when I say only Holly had the map during this journey. I was just along for the ride screaming. This book left me reeling, spiraling, and bereft. 5/5 recommend.

Blood & Karma
Perfect Little Monsters is an ode to every bully victim who just wants to snap. Perfect amount of build-up, gore, and just the right amount of monsters.

19th Century Egypt & Ancient Magic
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!

Ancient Trials & Ancient Gods
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!

Grief & Undue Blame
The ROLLERCOASTER of emotions that As Good As Dead gave me, had me on edge the entire time. The ending had me sobbing! My heart broke for some of the characters’ ending. Definitely had to take a few days to emotionally recover, if I’m being honest as well as dramatic.

Cold Cases & Small Town Minds
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder left me wanting more, and thankfully, there is! I enjoyed the way Jackson ended each chapter with some type of evidential entry to the case, and the way it kept me guessing. The plot moved a bit slowly at first, but it picked up quickly.

Mommy Issues & Peer Pressure
Tastes Like Candy 2: Sugarless was an amusing and intriguing read… I found the split parts incredibly interesting. I especially enjoyed the way Tholen showed Dusty’s, our MC of part 1, descent into a full-blown psychopath, as well as the way an outside influence can play a role in that fall.

Karma & A Killer Mascot
Out of all the slashers I’ve read, Most Likely To Die was one of the ones with the highest body count. This killer slashed his way through THIRTEEN people. Absolutely savage. Most Likely To Die was a gory, thrilling, and glorious ride. I loved the surprise ending and that the bullies got their punishments.
