  • Blood Queen by Caitlin Denman

    ✨BOOK REVIEW✨ First of all, thank you so much to @caitlindenmanbooks for giving me a free ARC copy of Blood Queen to read and review!  Let’s get into it! If you’re a fan of dark romantasy, Blood Queen is for you. It has all the twisted lore that the title promises with intriguing characters and…

  • The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

    If you’re a fan of dark fantasy academia, the Atlas Six is probably for you. As someone who doesn’t love that genre so much, I probably should have guessed this wouldn’t be my favorite book of the year. But the hype was huge so I thought “why not?” There were some things I liked about…

  • Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

    This was my first Sarah J. Maas book. I KNOW! DON’T COME FOR ME, BOOKSTAGRAM. But here’s the deal. I started this book years ago. YEARS. Before I had a proper appreciation for the fantasy genre. I’ve tried to read this book on four separate occasions and only this last time did I get through…

  • Kingsbane by Claire Legrand

    Trying to figure out how to rate this one was tough.I loved Furyborn so much that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one, it’s sequel. But… disappointment seems like an apt term. There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed. The characters truly come to life off of the page.…

  • Verity by Colleen Hoover

    Okay so… this one is hard for me. And I know some of you already saw those 3 stars and are coming for me but HEAR. ME. OUT. Also, spoilers ahead, you’ve been warned… First of all, I actually would recommend this book to people if I thought it was their taste. It had a…

  • One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig

    READ THIS. READ THIS. READ THIS. Okay fr I did NOT think I was going to get a 5-star read out of this one but the dark fantasy, fairytale-esque nature of this book blew. Me. Away. #OneDarkWindow is a literal masterpiece and @rmgillig will for sure be joining my list of auto-read authors. What I Liked:👍 The world…

  • Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

    ALRIGHT #bookstagram / #booktok I READ IT! And TBH… you were so right I’m so sorry I doubted you. Because WOWZA! Okay #xaden I see you. Shadow boi. I can’t even get myself together so let’s hop into it. What I Liked:👍 Xaden.👍 Xaden.👍 Xaden.👍 Okay, for real though. 👍 Honestly, Violet too. It’s VERY unusual for me to actually LIKE the…

  • A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

    #acosf was… a mixed bag for me. For the first 400 pages, I was angry. I loved #feyreandrhysand and this sudden switch of characters and POVs really caught me off guard and had me feeling wary. But let’s just hop right in, shall we? What I Liked:👍Always Cassian. I will always love #cassian . Though I could do without the…

  • King Solomon’s Mines by H. Rider Haggard

    I’m in a #bookclub now and this was our read last month. I’ve spent a while trying to determine how I want to H. Rider Haggard’s King Soloman’s Mines and realized exactly why I don’t read or review #classics .  I CANNOT get past the blatant racism and sexism. I know what some of you already want to say.…

  • A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas

    The biggest thing I have to say about this book is that it’s entirely skippable. It’s a novella meant to be read as a companion between books 3 and 4 in the series but, to me, it seems like pure fan service. Don’t get me wrong. I love Rhysand and Feyre as much as the…
