Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo (Alex Stern #2) | Review

Posted October 5, 2026 in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

This book gave me the book hangover of all book hangovers. I was lucky enough to be able to binge this immediately after finishing Ninth House (truly, I think I started it the same day) and I forgot how phenomenal it is to be able to continuously stay in a world you are obsessed with. And obsessed I am. This series has quickly shot to the top of my all-time faves list, and I am seated for the final installment, Dead Beat, to release later this year. Picking up a while after Ninth House leaves off, Hell-Bent follows a similar […]

Six Scorched Roses (Crowns of Nyaxia #1.5) by Carissa Broadbent | Review

Posted September 7, 2026 in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

I’ve been deep in a reading slump this year which I think can be largely attributed to the number of underwhelming Romantasy books I’ve read. I used to adore the genre and now it’s so oversaturated and often written to tropes that it’s more often miss than hit when I do pick up a title (even a hyped one). I read Broadbent’s first two novels in the Crowns of Nyaxia series a few years ago and remember being quite engrossed, but for some reason had never gotten around to continuing. I figured I was less likely to get burned by […]

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo | Review

Posted April 22, 2026 in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

You know that GIF of Lady Gaga where she’s going “Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, etc?” That’s literally how I feel after finishing Ninth House not an hour ago. I literally jumped right online to write my review so I can immediately dive into Hell Bent. I haven’t read a book that’s hooked me this much in such a long time. I know I’m late to the party considering it was published *checks notes* 8 years ago, but I’m trying this new thing where I am actually reading the books I want to read (what a concept, right?) that I’ve had […]

The Rose Bargain by Sasha Peyton Smith | Review

Posted April 13, 2026 in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

I used to be an avid YA reader, who then over the years pivoted mainly to adult, and romantasy before “romantasy” was even a word. Sometimes it can feel like I’ve seen it all, and while still enjoyable, many of the books I read can feel formulaic. Therefore, I was so thrilled to find The Rose Bargain to be a fresh, compulsively readable addition to both the YA category and romantasy genre, and its sequel is going to be one of my most anticipated reads of whatever year it’s released! The synopsis touts the novel as a cross between The […]

King of Ravens by Clare Sager (Upon a Broken Throne #1) | Review

Posted April 6, 2026 in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

I am clearly overly optimistic in this era of Romantasy oversaturation, but I still do get SO excited when I hear about an interesting new Romantasy title. Sure, Fae books are a dime a dozen these days, but then I hear phrases like “King of the Dead” and I’m reeled right in. King of Ravens follows Rhiannon, a chronically ill 30-something year old who’s home bound due to her illness and has had to make peace with her limited life. However, a series of events leads to her being taken to the Underworld by the Fae King of the Dead […]

The Chase by Elle Kennedy | Briar U #1

Posted March 30, 2026 in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

I loved the original Off Campus series by Elle Kennedy, so I was excited to find there was a spinoff with some of the younger, background hockey players, the Briar U series. While The Chase was an easy, addictive read, I found myself cringing a lot while reading- it just did NOT age well. The Chase focuses on Fitzy, a hockey player who’s also a gamer and tech wiz in his spare time who’s been mentioned throughout the original series quite a bit, and Summer, Dean’s younger sister. It was a smart idea to focus on characters who were relatively […]

Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson | Review

Posted February 23, 2026 in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

I am such a fan of Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series, but for some reason the books I’ve read by her since just haven’t quite hit. That was certainly the case with Not Quite Dead Yet, which rounded out 2025 as my final read. It wasn’t a bad book by any means, but I found a hard time connecting with and caring about the characters, which ultimately made the mystery fall a bit flat for me. Not Quite Dead Yet has an interesting premise: a young woman is afforded the opportunity to solve her own murder. […]

Brimstone by Callie Hart | Fae & Alchemy #2 | Review

Posted February 9, 2026 in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

Look, I will be the first to fully admit I gave this book 5 stars based on vibes. Was it a wild ride riddled with plot holes, random side quests and a lot of waiting around? Yes. Did I also thoroughly enjoy being back in this world and with these characters? Also yes. Picking up pretty soon after where Quicksilver left off, Brimstone follows Saeris & co. navigate their bigger-than-ever problems: Saeris now being the vampire queen, Everlayne being comatose, an evil king, a secret heir, etc. Hart left a lot of open threads at the end of the first […]

Good Spirits by B.K. Borison (Ghosted #1) | Review

Posted January 19, 2026 in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

I recently read nearly two B.K. Borison books back to back, and one knocked it out of the (Orioles)park…this one however, was a bit of a letdown (ironic considering this is the one I was betting on liking better!) I loooooove a good ghost/paranormal romance, and it doesn’t even have to be that involved with the world building (anyone remember Meg Cabot’s Mediator series?) Making this a twist on A Christmas Carol was even more enticing, and then the cover art came out and I was smitten. Well, the old cliché about not judging a book by it’s cover was true […]

The Strength of the Few by James Islington | Hierarchy #2

Posted January 12, 2026 in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

*Warning- this review will contain spoilers for The Will of the Many, book 1 in the Hierarchy series*. Nothing like starting off the new year with an absolute brick of a book, amirite? All jokes aside, I started this a few days before the end of 2025 because I knew I’d need the “head start” for this one (and I’m tired of procrastinating on longer novels on my TBR!) I had read The Will of the Many earlier in 2025 and it was a refreshing change to read straight up Fantasy/Sci-Fi (as I’ve been deep in the Romantasy genre for […]
