I didn't know what to expect when going into this one and I think that is the best way. This is a non-fiction about the World's Fair in Chicago and the infamous serial killer, HH Holmes. This was packed full in information I never knew about and I thought was very interesting. The World Fair… Continue reading The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert
This one had all the elements for an entertaining book, but just wasn't what I was looking for. This had some great world building and steamy romance scenes, but I was expecting to like or care about the characters a little more. A romantasy with pirates and mermaids...great start. The development wasn't quite what I… Continue reading Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert

Neon Gods is the story of Persephone and Hades. This was a spicy retelling of a timeless story. I enjoyed the spice and romance in this one.

This was narrated by Death and told from a few different POV's. The setting is late 30's Nazi Germany. Liesel is the main… Continue reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
The King of Wrath by Ana Huang
The King of Wrath was my first book by Ana Huang. This is the forced marriage trope and I always like that. This also has the billionaire trope, which I can go either way, but this one was steamy and witty. Dante Russo is your typical billionaire and he doesn't want to get tied down.… Continue reading The King of Wrath by Ana Huang
