I really like how Nolan sparks this fire in Harriet—the same fire she uses to light him up, literally and figuratively. That lantern energy! 🔥

Nolan is really starting to grow on me. He’s rougher around the edges than I expected for a proper old-school Irish ghost. I thought Harriet would be the one pushing boundaries, but I guess hundreds of years of “no touch, no feeling” have a way of shaping a person—or a spirit.

Overall, I’m enjoying the story. Fair warning, though—it’s a sloooooow buuuurn kind of read. Patience is required.

🌟Christmas in August, anyone? 🎄🌟

I don’t usually do holiday romances—most of them make me want to spike the eggnog, hide under a blanket, and wait for January. 🥴 But an uncorrected proof of Good Spirits by BK Borison landed in my lap and suddenly I’m the ghost of Christmas screaming. 👻

Holiday spirit: engaged.
Self-control: gone.

I am completely hooked. Satima’s world is dark, intense, and full of danger at every turn. Her journey, the political intrigue, and the tension with Toren are keeping me on edge—I feel every high-stakes moment. This is exactly the kind of story that makes you lose track of time while reading. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

It’s giving The Witcher meets “Roman empire with magic” colliding with the modern world. Monsters, politics, portals… and shadows you can almost feel breathing. 🍷⚔️

This is my second time starting Tasting Red. The first got interrupted by ACOTAR (which fully consumed me), but even then, I never forgot about this book. I recently went all in and bought the entire series.
This time around, I’m flying through it, and I can feel that spark it lit in me from the very beginning.
Oh wait. That’s Brexley 🔥

My heart. ♥️
The “first time” from Cas’s perspective. Can we just “practical magic” he and Nyktos into real life existence now. Please.
“…No matter what happens tomorrow, the next day, next week, you won’t forget this- forget that this was real”.
Gods bless me.

Im still stuck on this- I honestly don’t understand how people are saying this book adds nothing new. The emotional weight, the perspective shift, the patchwork being finally stitched into a coherent, shared universe—this is not filler. This is foundation.

And if JLA wanted to stay true to what it means for someone to actually ascend into a primal, then Poppy had to sleep. The alternative would’ve been a book full of side quests and fluff. Instead, we get something much more meaningful: Casteel’s perspective.
