Sanctuary by Bree M. Lewandowski My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a wonderful slow burn of fantasy, romance and some mystery. Even though it is a little slow at the start, it is worth it to keep going. The beginning is mainly world-building so it is understandable. The heroine, Petra, is very determined […]
Whisper by Kay Ross My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a wonderful and exciting book to read. The author is not only excellent at worldbuilding but the characters are very relatable and delightful. Whisper is a page-turner full of curses, death, hope, fantasy, mystery, suspense, plot twists and excellent characters. Kay Ross, the […]
The Discovery of Magic by L. J. Evias My rating: 4 of 5 stars The Discovery of Magic by L.J. Evias is such a wonderful Teen/YA Adult to start of the book series “The Intrigue of Magic”. The book begins a bit slow for me personally, but I do think that a teen would be […]

Glass Houses by Sinister Styx My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is the first book that I have read by the author Sinister Styx, and my thoughts are in the middle, not necessarily “bad” but also not great. This book is EXTREMELY fast-paced and short, it only took me about 10-15 minutes to read […]
In the Midst of Omens by Nicole Bailey My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is a retelling of The Epic of Gilgamesh by Nicole Bailey.

Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the first book in the series ‘Spicetopia’, technically, they can be read in any order as they are individual storylines with interconnecting parts.

The Befallen by Cambria Williams My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the first book that I have read by author Cambria Williams, as this is her debut dark fantasy novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book and her writing style. The Befallen is a strong debut novel, in all honesty, I would not […]

This is an amazing start to a wonderful series of witches, werewolves, a somewhat enemy to lovers’ trope, secrets, destiny, lots of action, adventure, and tension. This is such an […]
Grave Digger Academy IV by C.A. King My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love this series! This is book 4, and while I loved the book, I felt there was very limited information on what New has happened. Usually, C.A. King can write a 100-150 page book, and I feel like I’ve read an […]
Doombringer by Marcel Liemant My rating: 3 of 5 stars This series was definitely interesting, and you can tell the author put a lot of thought into writing the book. However, I feel it fell flat in a few areas, and at times was hard to follow the storyline. The book does have a very […]
