Bruh. What just happened? A lot a lot happened here. I am so excited to see where this story is going, the development is great and the introduction to this new characters have me intrigued too. I must admit I LOVED having some of the guy’s POVs!! Oliver is still my favorite and I’ll forever love him but Yuta, I’m gonna need more of him 👀. Rian, this dirty mouthed asshole is also one of my favorites here. As for the girls, Eve is still a pretty badass with a great sense of humor, along with Mar, I love them both!
We can see here how strong is their friendship to the point that they are indeed sisters and they just fight a love each other fiercely and I love to see that. I know that that connection between them is so much more I just know it 👀
The spice was so so good. The tension is driving me crazy (in a good way), and I am just waiting till explodes 😂
I loved the hints of these new potential couples we are seeing (Mateo and Reed 👀🔥🧎🏼♀️) and all the secrets in this world! The possibilities are endless and I am here for it!!
A HUGE thank you to Teanna for having multiple POVs and having short chapters. That kept me fully engaged and. I just wanted to keep reading! I absolutely adore being inside of everyone’s head and I will always 110% support having the guys’ POVs too. 🤭🖤
I have a whole lore of theories in my head and I just can’t wait to see what happens next and I’ll be glued to see any updates on the next book 🤭🤭
Teanna a HUGE thank you also for the ARC! Happy to be one of the first reader of this book! 🖤🖤🖤

Thank you so much to the author for an ARC copy of this book!
This one picks up right where Realms of Peace left off. I’ve never read a book so aptly named - because Realms of SECRETS indeed.
It seems that every character has a secret, and I’m dying to know what they all are. For someone who is such a character driven reader, the multiple POVs are everything to me. Each character has their own distinct voice and I love being able to be in ALL their heads. The quick chapters, paired with the swapping of POVs kept me so engaged in this book. I couldn’t put it down because I needed to know what happened next - in every situation.
The addition of some more characters, plus the focus on the 2 lands we didn’t get to see in book 1 (Eteri and Cansu) added to an already incredible world that was built in the first book. The spice was upped, though like in book 1, my favorite part is the dedication and love between our main FMCs. Especially since they are not all together in this book, and we get so see some vulnerabilities with all of them.
I’m so invested in this story and NEED to know what happens next (she says, as book 2 isn’t even released for another month).
Thank you again Teanna - for this ARC, but also for bringing this story to life!

*THIS IS AN ARC REVIEW* *REALMS OF SECRETS WILL PUBLISH ON MAY 6TH 2023, MARK IT ON YOUR CALENDARS*
Realms of Secrets serves as an excellent follow up to Realms of Peace!!!!!!! We learn more about the world of Estarynn as the land of air aka Eteri and the land of mist aka Cansu are being explored in this book. The introduction of new characters that weren't in the first book felt so natural, seamlessly written in as if they've been in the story the whole time. There's a lot of twists that will certainly make you want to read MORE and even though it's a super long book, I breezed through it because the plot was SO AMAZING. I was heartbroken once I got to the epilogue because there was so much that I wanted to read more about but I guess I'll have to wait for book 3 to find out. Also, I LOVE OLIVER AND CAY, their dynamic and the tension between them makes my heart flutter just like it did in book 1. Oliver x Cay is my favorite ship in this series and I absolutely need to read more of them. I can't wait for book 3 but I know it probably wouldn't be published for at least another year or two so fingers crossed that it'll come soon 🤞. Overall, I'm thankful to have been sent an ARC of this, it's in my top 5 reads of 2023 so far!!!!!!! If I could, I'd give it all the stars in the galaxy but goodreads only allows a maximum of 5 stars (please allow me to rate this book at least a million stars)

“I know that I’ll be dead soon. The past two weeks have gone by slowly, my fate sealed with every passing hour. And to think, this will be my downfall?
Boredom.”
-Eve
“My pastry falls to the ground and I nearly shed a tear. A travesty.”
-Mar
The first in this series came out last year and the story had me hooked right away. The girls are all so unique and their love for one another is powerful. Ever since that book ended, getting my hands on the second book is something that has crossed my mind weekly. Then it finally arrived. Eeeekkkkk!!!!!
Teanna has a great way of writing from each of the girls, and Rose’s two brothers, POV to the enhanced each version the story. The different POV’s helped form the girls character and stories that much more causing me to want to jump in the fight and help their cause. When we first met them, the girls had been apart for some time. So while the first book was an introduction of everyone, this book gave a better view into how they handle the chaos and how they will fight to find their way back together.
The title is extremely accurate. So many secrets came to light which had me gasping and rereading sections to be sure I read it correctly. Holy freaking buttmunch. Every time my mind would wrap around a new secret being told, another truth would be released. It was like a smack in the face that has left me wanting more.

If you’re looking for your next fantasy read i highly recommend this series! I received this book as an ARC from the author, and so naturally i read the first one before giving my full review. And holy shit. I did not expect to be hooked from the start. I went into book 1 (Realms of peace) not entirely knowing what to expect, and ended up finishing it in 4 days and immediately started book 2 the next day and loved it even more than the first. i genuinely love all the characters (except maybe rian he is on thin ice lol) and found myself relating to some of them (cough, oak, cough) and the inclusion of different POC, LGBTQ+, and disabled characters is something you don’t see often especially with main characters and i love that the author includes and portrays all of these characters in a respectful way and not just as background characters. The world building is incredible, especially considering this is the author’s debut series, and the story is so fun and exciting it was hard to put down. I’m genuinely excited about this series and can’t wait to see where the story goes and will definitely be keeping an eye out for more works from this author. ❤️

Teanna!! You genius. This book is absolutely amazing. I loved it so much. Realms of Secrets is truly the most accurate title for this book. So many secrets are revealed and I know there are still many to come 👀. I can't wait to see where this is going!!!
I LOVE the multiple POVs in this book!! And we even got new POVs that weren't in RoP. The chapters are also nice and short which kept my attention fixed throughout the entire book. The multiple POVs once again are done beautifully and each character is so unique and relatable in their own ways. I wasn't sure I would like all of the girls being on their own separate paths but it worked out so so well and the way it is written and how it flips back and forth is amazing.
We get to see how the characters act away from eachother and in very difficult situations without their "sisters". Their bond is so amazing and I love learning more about them. But I also feel like they are somehow all more connected than we know 👀
The characters emotions are portrayed SO WELL!! and made me feel so many emotions throughout the book. It hits on grief, loss, sorrow, guilt, feelings of inadequacy, self doubt and so many more, including the good ones.
We are introduced to new characters in ROS and thet fit in so well with the story. I especially like Mateo cause he's just hilarious 😂. We also learn SO much more about the world (specifically Eteri and Cansu) and the world building is so well done! Like RoP, the world building is easy to follow and doesn't overwhelm the reader.
This book has a lot more spice than RoP and it is hottttt 🔥. The banter and continued sexual tension is really good too. Rian is such an asshole but I can't help but love him hahaha I can't wait for more!!
Thank you Teanna for choosing me as an ARC reader! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

I liked it. But I felt like it was a filler point; helping us get from Point A (book 1) to Point B (book 3?). Took a long time for things to come together but boy did they come together in the last 100-ish pages. Love the new characters, can’t wait to see what happens, and get some answers. Just hope the next one is better paced.
