The Earl’s Match by Holly Bush My rating: 4 of 5 stars The Earl’s Match is the 5th and final book in The Thompsons of Locust Street books, although it can stand alone very well. I haven’t read anything by this author before, so this was the first one in the series I read (was […]

The Uncrowned King by Ayla Marie My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Uncrowned King was SOO INCREDIBLE! I finished the Blood Prince and immediately dove into the Uncrowned King, and it only got better. I could not stop reading. The world building is just as great in the 2nd as the first, the characters […]

The Befallen by Cambria Williams My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Befallen by Cambria Williams was great! Not what I expected and I really enjoyed it.
