Solid 5/5 stars!! I loved loved loved so much about this book that I read it in under 9 hours with a few meal breaks and interruptions from kids thrown in there. I barely made any comments which showed proof of how smooth it felt. If you are a fan of clean YA...

DNF. I got through enough of this one to leave a short review. This is a sequel to a YA fantasy all about demons, female power, and seeing things through another perspective. Here’s the blurb: It's been six months since Deka freed the goddesses in the ancient kingdom...

Until this last chapter I had averaged my rating of a 4.1/5 stars. Because of the last chapter, this contemporary witchy fantasy was immediately bumped up to a 4.7/5 stars! I loved the main heroine and the overall inclusivity but wished there were only two pov instead...

Review #270
I gave this one a 3.9/5 stars which is a little lower than the first book. “For the Throne” is the sequel to “For the Wolf” and I believe it finishes the duology. This is a YA fantasy with a “good vs evil” theme. This one didn’t feel as much of a fairytale retelling...

Review #269
I rated this fantasy fairy-tale retelling a 4.4/5 stars. This will hopefully be one I remember details of compared to other novels because the woods are s described in such detail. I started to get frustrated with the repetition of the plot in the 30-60% part of the...

I had a really hard time rating this. If you see my Instagram post, it talked about some parts feeling like a 2/5 stars and other parts feeling like a 4.7/5 stars. I settled on a frustrating 4.0/5 stars. this standalone witchy book was set in 4 different years/time...
Renegades
I loved Marissa Meyer’s: The Lunar Chronicles series. The last one I remember was a beast, over 800 pages and this one here is 556 pages but feels massive. I’m a bit worried since I don’t like reading books much over 400 pages. I genuinely believe that if an author...
The Secrets in Shadow and Blood
So The Secrets in Shadow and Blood is the NEXT installment in the Fae Guardians book. So I guess it wasn’t the best place to start. Each book features a separate couple so apparently I should’ve started with Season of The Wolf. Because of this I already have a feeling...
