Alaina is 60% done with The Musician and the Monster (The Castamar Duology, #1)
I may come back to this another time but as of now it just feels too slow and I'm not intrigued enough to want to keep going.

I'm typically an enemies-to-lovers reader. Not to say I dont like friends-to-lovers but certainly not as much usually but this book already feels like a solid win for me. 5 chapters in and I'm hooked.

Really disappointed with this book. The voice is relatable, yes, but nothing else really is nor is it super helpful. If I wanted to hear about someone thinking pregnancy is wonderful and not having any major symptoms and having all the money to do whatever they want, then sure- read this.

Alaina is 10% done with Twisted Love (Twisted, #1)
I'm unsure if I don't like the writing or if it's the narration but not sure about this book... it feels like the author was trying to give Fifty Shades vibes but it's rather cringy so far. I'm gonna set this aside for a bit.

Alaina is 4% done with The Wedding People
I only finished the 1st chapter this morning but it's already proving to be a much better audiobook choice than the previous one. I'm really looking forward to it! The only thing is it opened quite a bit darker than I expected; I wish there had been some trigger warnings. I don't mind the content if I know about it ahead of time but I audibly gasped in chapter one at 6 AM 😅

Alaina is 22% done with Murder on the Christmas Express
I was really trying to like this book. My first foray into audiobooks and I don't think it was the audiobook aspect that I disliked as much as the writing itself. It's like this author is trying to check boxes while writing this - influencer for "current vibes" ✔️ LGBT representation ✔️ character with a troubled past ✔️. She goes from talking about pastries to SA. I don't do this lightly but DNF..

It was a slow start and I wasn't sure I liked how it was written but I'm starting to get into it now and looking forward to where the story will go.

I'm already in love with this book. Her writing is so good. It's so vivid and the characters are so relatable from the get-go. Her writing feels so similar to EmHen but with the bonus of something magical/fantastical. She's quickly becoming a favorite author between this & The Dead Romantics.

I haven't read this book since it first came out and although it's fun I can tell a definitive difference in the writing compared to what I read now. I can't believe how good of writing I thought this was at the time but it's a fun read anyway.

Alaina is 60% done with Grey Storm Clouds
Honestly cannot finish this. I thought it was going to feel inspirational and relatable but there's very little said both in the amount written as well as the content itself.
