The Other Side of Midnight was a quick and enjoyable read. Simone St. James is one of those authors who consistently delivers when I'm in the mood for a creepy ghost story, and this time she added a historical twist that really worked for me. Set in 1925 London, this book combines murder mystery, paranormal… Continue reading The Other Side of Midnight by Simone St. James
I know why I waited so long to read Shield of Sparrows... but WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?! Oh right—because this is a trilogy, and I was trying to pace myself. Unfortunately, that plan completely failed because this ended up being one of my top reads of the year! The fantasy and romance combination… Continue reading Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry
Sophie Kim’s The Winged Game is basically what you’d get if you mixed an adult version of Harry Potter with Fourth Wing — but made it an intense extreme fantasy sports story. And honestly? It works. This book follows Taissa Cho, a disgraced former star of Carriwitchet, a brutal rugby-esque sport played on top of… Continue reading The Winged Game by Sophie Kim
Good Material was my book club pick last month, and interestingly, I ended up enjoying it more than a lot of the other members did. I think a big reason for that is that I really connected with the themes and character motivations—especially when it came to Jen. At its core, this is a breakup… Continue reading Good Material by Dolly Alderton
Play with Fire is the first book in Sophie L. Henderson’s firefighter romance series, and while I ended up liking book two more, this was still a fun start to the series—especially because I’ve apparently entered my firefighter romance era lately. This book follows Savannah, a firefighter-in-training trying to save her struggling fire hall, and… Continue reading Play with Fire by Sophie L. Henderson
Carl’s chaotic adventure continues in Carl’s Doomsday Scenario, and somehow this series gets even more absurd in the best possible way. This second installment fully embraces the over-the-top madness of Dungeon Crawler World, and I can absolutely see why this series has such a huge following. The humor is nonstop, the action is wildly entertaining,… Continue reading Carl’s Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman
Man of My Dreams is one of those books that I know is going to stick with me for a long time. That constant sense of unease Olivia Worley creates from the very beginning was so well done, and once the twists started coming, I couldn’t stop reading. Every time I thought I had things… Continue reading Man of My Dreams by Olivia Worley
Endling is one of those books where, even after finishing it, I’m still not entirely sure how to explain what I just read… but somehow, it worked. I picked this one up for book club, and from the start I knew it was going to be different. The premise alone is incredibly unique—blending biology, Ukraine’s… Continue reading Endling by Maria Reva
If you’re looking for a slow burn romance full of tenderness, yearning, and all those feel-good emotions, this is absolutely the book for you. Happy Ending is definitely more of a friends-to-lovers story than a sweeping passionate romance, and honestly, that’s what made it feel so real. Thea and Alex’s relationship builds so naturally over… Continue reading Happy Ending by Chloe Liese
Bittersweet doesn’t even begin to describe finishing the final book in the Mountain Men series, but I’m so glad Everly finally got her story. She’s been such a fun character throughout the series, and watching her fall for the ultimate grumpy bad boy felt completely worth the wait. I honestly found myself googling rugby while… Continue reading Bad Boy Era by Amy Daws
