I have seen a lot of great reviews for this book, and I am in need of a good book to pull my out of the "blah" book streak I have going. Here's hoping! 🤞

What?!?! OMG!! That ending!!!!!!

This book was a fun, crazy, and chaotic ride of WTF is going on here.

RTC

This is a dark fantasy romance and contains graphic death, electrocution, and excessive violence. For example, a man is stabbed multiple times . . . but beware, he might secretly enjoy it.

Am I going to stay up WAY too late tonight reading? YES. Yes I fucking am.

SO EXCITED to be starting this!!!

“If your stubborn royal ass will return, fine.” Mira’s eyes widened in a bit of stun, there and gone, before her grin widened. “Hearttalker, I had no idea you thought of my ass.

Love Tait and Mira and had been waiting for their story for a while. Tait is a broken, broody, tough, and touch averse MMC and Mira is the bubbly bad-ass princess. Just love when opposites attract and the sparks fly!

Review to come

OMG!! Did I get approved for the ARC of Jasmine Mas's The Emperor's Enemy?!

Freak yes I did!!!! Updates to come!!

I have always loved Tait in this series and I am so excited to get into his book!!

I need time to process before I write this review. Just freaking WOW - y'all... OMG!

This book was so much more than I had hoped for! I laughed and cried, had my heart hurt and destroyed, and I squealed and clapped my hands.
This was seriously amazing!!!!!

Omg.. omg... omg...
This is brutally painful and the way I am crying right now.. i just can't.

This book is amazing and absolutely heartbreaking!

And.... if I have interpreted some of the clues correctly, it's going to get worse. 😭

“Well, Princess.” I tucked a strand of soft silver behind her ear. Her cheeks flamed red, and my smile broke free.
“I am at your mercy. But anyone who touches you”—I stroked her soft skin with my thumb—“ is at mine.”

Men, written by women, really are the best thing ever. 😁

To those who feel trapped inside walls built by others:
Burn
them
down.

Ary is going to burn it DOWN in this book!! I cant wait!

“You can say please. Or thank you. Or my name.”

I couldn’t hold back the “Fuck,” that hissed between my teeth.
“I’ll accept it.” He let out a victorious chuckle against my skin, the sound vibrating through sensitive flesh.

Holy hell this book was good!

"This is how fate changes"

Well.... I didnt see THAT coming!! 😲😳

I am definitely not sleeping tonight until I finish this!

"It’s not that hard to kill a god , I thought distantly. I’m surprised more people haven’t done it."

I am absolutely OBSESSED!

What?!? Nooooooo!!!
But I have a feeling its about to start heating up 🌶

Noooooooo 😭😭😭😭😭
Only 15% in and my heart is breaking...

I am already loving Kyrene and so excited for more of Septimus 😍
I hear he has a dirty mouth and I am so here for it!

I liked Mische's story but I am already way more into this book that I was the last duology.

Ok Septimus... I am looking forward to this dirty mouth we have heard about 👀

"But both of us are wrong".

What?!?! Nooooooo....
Well, I sense emotional damage coming now... 😭

So excited be starting this ARC!!!!

The banter in this book is so funny! I didnt expect any less after reading the first book, but its so refreshing to have humor mixed with a dark romantasy. I absolutely love this series 😍

OMG!!! I got the ARC!
Am I stopping in the middle of my current book to read this? Yes, yes I am.

Am I sorry?
Not even a little.

SO READY TO READ THIS!!!!

Alchemy and Ashes was one of my favorite indie books of 2025. Having the ARC in my hands of the next book has me so excited.
I cant wait to dive into this!

Omg!!!! If you love dark fantasy then this is it!
This book is amazing in so many ways. The plot and the characters are weaved together in a way that this book HELD me all the way through and I really had to fight myself to put it down just to sleep.

I have so many theories and questions!

I need to process before I write my review, but this is absolutely a 6-star read for me. And I don't have those often..

SO excited for this ARC.

If you havent read Sworn to Ruin Him by HP Mallory yet, you need to check it out immediately!

This is the next books in the series and I am absolutely thrilled to be starting it today.

🥵🔥
That smut menu at the beginning y'all. LETS GOOOOO!

Buddy read with my booktok bestie @bookishrants18
We were gifted this book by the amazing Lorena Vea and I am so excited to dive into this.

“Fuck it.”

Omg!!!
This book y'all!! Its everything I wanted and didnt know I needed. I fear this may put me into a reading slump its so good...

“I hate you too,” I hissed, my throat drying up as my foot slipped. “I hate you so fucking much.” Darcke fucking patted my back. “I’m sure I’ll survive.”

I am loving this book! The hate and tension between Darcke and Elvara is on point.

Love Sophia and her books, so much!!
I am excited to be diving into this ARC and I seriously cannot wait to experience this new world and the new characters she has created for us. 😍
