4.7/5 stars for this (clean) fantasy romance. It’s written in first person past tense all in Rosalie’s point of view. Of all the beauty and the beast retellings I’ve read recently, this one is my favorite so far. It’s absolute perfection that the heroine is a witch – very similar to my work in progressContinue reading “Review #356”

Review #347
I gave this a generous 4.0/5 stars. I wanted more emotion and power to their feelings. Written in first person, past tense, I’m so glad I checked “Cruel Beauty” out from the library because it has the same vibe I’m hoping for in my beauty and the beast retelling. Here’s my live thoughts while reading:Continue reading “Review #347”
Review #340
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”
Review #338
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”

Review #299
So the finale of this steamy fantasy trilogy is a 4.6/5 stars. The author has done a really good job of the pacing for the believability of going from enemies to “I’d scorch the earth to save you” I’ve decided that this series is like the movie, Inception. The first time you see it/read it,Continue reading “Review #299”
Review #297
This amazing fantasy was a 4.9/5 stars! The dark themes were done so well and I really enjoyed the ride. I can’t wait to start the sequel tonight. Some would categorize this as young adult since she’s 18 but it didn’t feel YA to me. Here’s my live thoughts while reading: The prologue is fromContinue reading “Review #297”
Review #276
Above the Sea earned a 4.2.5 stars for this YA fairytale retelling, clean HEA romance. The plot is very fast paced and I don’t feel as if there’s time to settle in a scene or into the characters. Their dialogue is saying exactly what they think instead of making me work and read in betweenContinue reading “Review #276”
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 it’ll be a DNF forContinue reading “The Secrets in Shadow and Blood”
