I gave this scifi YA beauty and the beast retelling a 4.8/5 stars. It was almost perfect with what I’m looking for in any book. Fast paced. Sweet romance. Beautiful prose and imagery. Great character growth. it lost .2 for a strange part in the first half where it honestly felt like I had missedContinue reading “Review #343”

DNF- Curses
I DNF at page 50 and I’m super sad about it but I have 8 other beauty and the beast retellings lined up for inspiration so hopefully one of those works better for me. Here’s the blurb: Merit Cravan refused to fulfill her obligation to marry a prince, leading to a fairy godling’s curse. SheContinue reading “DNF- Curses”

I loved this sequel and gave it a 4.4/5 stars. When it comes to characters, unique magic, world building, and relationships it was perfect. I scraped a few points off the total score because of its length, slow pace in middle and 5 POV head hopped within chapters. Overall, I absolutely love this group ofContinue reading “Review #342”

Loathe to Love you is three short stories that starts with “Under One Roof.” I rated the first one 4.5/5 stars. Stay tuned for info on the others. I don’t think the prologue was necessary since it felt more like a spoiler. Even though we all know what’s going to happen in HEA anyways. TheirContinue reading “Review #341”

My first February book complete! I loved loved this book. 4.9/5 stars. The author was so clever with how she included the elements of Snow White’s love for animals and the mirror theme. I wish I had thought of it first. I cant wait for “A Dream So Wicked” for the Sleeping Beauty story. Here’sContinue reading “Review #340”

‘Heart of the Raven Prince’ by Tessonja Odette is the third book I’ve read in a row in the Entangled series. This one is a 4.6/5 stars. It’s a Cinderella retelling and so far it’s the only one that has had two points of view, Ember AND Franco. (Unless I’m remembering completely inaccurately.) Music isContinue reading “Review #339”

This Beauty and the Beast retelling earned a 4.8/5 stars for me. It was written all in first person from Gemma’s point of view. I’m so excited to read at least two more books in this interconnected fairytale series. These are my thoughts (live) while reading: Gemma just recently moved to the winter court, seemsContinue reading “Review #338”

“Kiss of the Selkie” by Tessonja Odette earned a 4.9/5 stars for me. It reminded me of “Serpent and Dove” by Shelby Mahurin crossed with “The Selection” by Kiera Cass. The .1 point I took off was once in a while it felt too much like The Bachelor show. But otherwise this book was perfection.Continue reading “Review #337”

I gave Alexa Martin’s contemporary romance called “Better Than Fiction” a 4.2/5 stars. Check out more info below. Here’s my live thoughts while reading: So the main character is pretty pessimistic at the beginning. It too a while to determine her gender and after chapter 2 I don’t recall her name but just wait, weContinue reading “Review #335”
