Quicksilver by Callie Hart | Review

It’s an amazing feeling when you go into a book with high expectations from all of the hype, and they end up being 100% met. That was my experience with Quicksilver, the book that had the romantasy community in a chokehold in 2024. I was eager but also a little dubious considering the recent boom in romantasy titles (it feels like the general population just discovered ACOTAR in the past year or two and I’m like the real ones pre-ordered it ten years ago XD) and with an extreme surge in popularity and mainstream attention can definitely spur many lackluster […]

Holiday Romance Review: Wreck the Halls by Tessa Bailey

When I found out that my Spotify premium account now came with a free number of audiobook listening hours per month, I instantly pursued their romance selection and decided it would be a great chance to try my first Tessa Bailey novel. I’d heard her name floating around often online, and I was trying to make a conscious effort to read more holiday novels in December (always a challenge for me, as the month feels like it flies by so fast!) I didn’t know much about this one except it sounded seasonally appropriate and since it was “free,” I decided […]

Holiday Romance Review: Tis the Season by Morgan Elizabeth

Did I have any idea going into this one that it was inspired by Legally Blonde? No, no I did not. Did that probably make me love it. Yes, there’s a good possibility lol. As a lover of romance novels AND of Legally Blonde (I object!) it was so fun to read a novel that is inspired by/a retelling of a more “modern” classic piece of media. The story follows Abigail, a makeup artist who’s contorted her life into a pretzel for her uppity boyfriend who clearly does not think she’s good enough for him and his blue-blooded world. Like […]

Enchanted to Meet You by Meg Cabot | Witches of West Harbor #1

I have been reading Meg Cabot’s books for over 20 years, and she’s an auto-read author for me at this point. I don’t even bother reading the synopsis most of the time, I just know a new release is going to make it onto my TBR, regardless of the subject matter. Despite the fact that I would have read Enchanted to Meet You no matter what, I was THRILLED to see that Meg was getting in on the witchy rom-com trend. I loooooove witchy stories, movies, aesthetic, etc. and the cover + premise + title (please don’t be in love […]

The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson | Review

I was a huge huge fan of Jackson’s debut novel, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, and overall felt it was a very strong trilogy. I know she’s put a few books out since then, but this is the first I picked up since the original trilogy, and I was excited! I’ve been wanting to start reading more thrillers as the end of summer looms and we transition into fall up here in the Northern Hemisphere, and what better way to kick off my thriller TBR than with a tried and true author? Turns out I was wrong. I honestly […]

Pestilence by Laura Thalassa | The Four Horsemen #1

I feel like I should not have enjoyed this book as much as I did, but I legit could not put it down. The former religious studies major in me always has a ~curiosity when I see a plot point that even remotely draws on religious themes, and once I saw that there was a ROMANCE series based on the FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE I was like of course I need to check this out for science. I am apparently terrible at reading/remembering synopses of books when I add them to my TBR because I didn’t realize that I’d […]

Forget Me Not by Julie Soto | ARC Review

In a world over-saturated with illustrated romance covers, this one stopped me in my tracks. I found it stunning, and almost water-color like, completely different from the cartoony covers that are so popular in romance these days (which I love too!) THEN I heard that the author, Julie Soto, cut her teeth writing Dramione fanfiction, including one that’s very high on my TBR (The Auction) and I knew I had to read this one. Set in Sacramento, California (the first time I’ve read a book set in California’s capitol!), Forget Me Not centers on two protagonists who are in the […]

Neon Gods & Electric Idol by Katee Robert | Dark Olympus #1-2

I love a good urban fantasy, though it feels like they are fewer and farther between these days. When I came across Neon Gods by Katee Roberts I was surprised I hadn’t seen it before. I love a good Greek pantheon story, and the twist of most of the seats being elected was super interesting! So thanks to my trusty library, I settled in during vacation to this futuristic vision of Olympus. The series starts off with the story of Hades and Persephone (because of course). Persephone is the daughter of Demeter and has three other sisters (also themed after […]

Happy Place by Emily Henry | Review

This was an interesting one for me. I thought I’d really enjoy it (second chance romance is a sub-genre I’m interested in exploring more) and I remember enjoying The People We Meet On Vacation quite a bit. However, this story was sort of…a downer? Protagonist Harriet arrives at her annual summer trip at her wealthy friend Sabrina’s family’s summer house in Maine (because of course) and immediately has a secret to hide- her fiance, Wyn, broke up with her months ago but she hasn’t told her friends since she doesn’t want to rock the boat and dissolve their mutual friend […]

Things We Left Behind by Lucy Score | Review

Do you ever read a series and find yourself constantly drawn to the secondary characters instead of the protagonists? This has been me with Sloane and Lucian in the Knockemout series by Lucy Score. I kid you not, when I went back to look at all of my highlighted sections from the first two books on my Kindle, they were literally ALL passages with interactions between Sloane and Lucian! Their tension leapt off the page through two entire books, so I was ELATED to finally have my greedy little hands on their story the day it was released on Kindle […]
