Pirates & Vendettas
If Captain Jack Sparrow still graces your wet dreams, then you should probably read this. And by probably, I mean get up and go get it!

Dark Fairytales & Asylum Girls
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.

Masks & Smutty Filth
Evil Boys was absolutely filthy, and I loved it. Evil Boys was 100% smut with a sprinkle of plot. The whole mafia and killing gang plotline was interesting, but honestly, I only endured it for Kai. There were a few scenes where it was a little tough for me to right. Check TWs.

Childhood Love & Chaotic Devotion
I enjoyed Skin of a Sinner; it was the perfect dark romance to cleanse my palette in between reads. The conflict of wanting and not wanting a Roman Riviera in my life is intensely real. Definitely one of those type of men who only make it in a fake universe.

Blackmail & Arranged Marriages
Ana Huang’s King of Wrath was not only an immensely enjoyable read, but also eye-opening when it comes to the family dynamic within Chinese and Asian culture. While I found the views of women archaic and infuriating, I’ve also discovered a newfound respect for women in these cultures and dynamics. 4/5 Recommend.

Love & Asylums
The Fabric of Our Souls very literally destroyed me and my masochistic little heart ate it up and begged for more. This book isn’t intended for those for the faint of heart. This read left my heart hurting, my eyes wet, and a yearning for a love like these three had.

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.
-

A Goddess & An Army of the Dead
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?
-

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.
