Hate & Theft
I enjoyed Twisted Hate. The spicy scenes were top-tier. I also enjoyed that Huang didn’t end the book with the heroine and the hero getting married. They were together, but they both decided to take it slow. It was a nice change. 5/5 would recommend to those who love enemies-to-lovers.

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.

All Bruises, Covered in Makeup
Aleatha Romig’s book, Consequences, followed a twenty-six-year-old woman named Claire who recently lost her job as a meteorologist and was struggling with debt. After she found work as a bartender, she met a mysterious man named Anthony, who coaxed her into joining him for dinner after her shift.

Into the Buffyverse
Kiersten White’s Slayer dived into the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and followed Athena, daughter of Buffy’s first Watcher, as she dealt with the implications of being a Slayer. Set shortly after the TV show’s series finale, White re-exposed the world to the Buffyverse from a whole new perspective. Decent read.

Welcome to Emberfall
Brigid Kemmerer’s A Curse So Dark and Lonely was a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a very different twist than the story we all know and love. Although set in the present, we were transported to a world filled with magic and mystery. I love a good fairytale retelling.

Pretty Lies & Steel Blue Eyes
I loved Sparrow (both the character and the Book.) The character was a badass chick who went head-to-head with Troy despite her fear and knowledge of his reputation. Sparrow was a great novel. Great plot build, character development, and emotion. I couldn’t put it down finished it in 2 hours!
