Doing a re-read to prep for The Ballad of Falling Dragons coming May 19th!!!!!!!!

This is absolutely a finish-in-one-day kind of book… except I was rudely forced to stop and be a mom 🤪😜
Willa and Cade all day. The panty thief- I’m dead 😂

I needed a quick break from fantasy, and Night Shade has not disappointed! I’m over here fully cheering for Alex & Ophelia while also trying to play detective and figure out who the stalker is 🕵️‍♀️

Ophelia — love her.
Alex Corbeau-Green — GODS YESSSSS.
A stalker — WHO IS IT?!?!
Her parents’ suspicious deaths — WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED?!?!
This book is SO much fun and I am eating up every second of it.

Really hate being an adult right now. All I want to do is stay home and finish this book!!!!!!!!!

Here for the mystery. Here for the found family. The action is solid (thought we’d get more), but honestly? I’m most invested in this professor/student dynamic and waiting for it to finally explode. 👀

Thank you, Allurial!!!!!! If you don’t have a subscription yet, get one. I’ve been excited about my pick every single month, and I cannot wait to dive into this one!

Why did I wait so long to start this series?!?!?

Ella Fields never misses for me. I’ve read several of her books and they’re always a good time—and this one has me hooked. The spice is just right, the vibes are immaculate, and I already know this man is going to break our hearts. Obsessed.

First thoughts were here we go—trying to make the FMC more “badass” than she really is (and honestly… still feel that way). BUT everything else picked up and suddenly I was crying. 100% a love/hate relationship with the MMC. He’s clearly hiding something that will change everything, yet I’m still rooting for a love triangle that hasn’t even happened yet. I keep needing to know what happens next!!!

First tarot-based magic book I’ve ever read and I’m already hooked. The Immortals? Sus. The men? Extra sus (as my kids would say). Rune better keep her head on straight because the way this is going… I feel like we’re all about to be yelling at her together 😅

I am determined to finish this book this weekend. It’s taken me far too long.

THE THIRD TRIAL 😲😬🥵 These trials are ridiculously fun and completely unique. I’m obsessed.

Every trial in this book is wildly fun and totally unique. The moment one begins, I’m hooked. And let’s be real—I’m a Thatcher fan girl ❤️

Still having a bit of a slow go with this one. I really love the characters and I have a feeling the ending is going to hit hard, but for now I’m just not feeling that can’t-put-it-down pull.

240 pages in and I get it. This book is such an easy, addictive read while still being wildly unique—funny, heartfelt, and impossible to put down. The hype? Completely real.

I already love everything about this book!!!!

Me: “I’m going to DEVOUR this book.”
Also me: 3 business weeks later, only 60% in. I don’t know what my problem is but here we are. 🫣

Carrion Swift is quickly becoming one of my favorite side characters—like EVER!

Side note: should’ve reread Quicksilver… oops.

Don’t mind me — just stayed up till 1 a.m. and bawled my damn eyes out. I’m serious when I say I’m hooked.

Me, 20 pages in: “wait… who? what? where? What are they?“
Me, now: “I would die for these characters.”

I keep picking this book up and putting it down. 🫣

Totally obsessed right now — the tension is unreal, and I can feel that cliffhanger coming for me

If you love Throne of Glass—the assassin heroine secrets, unknown identity, tangled romances, quests—you’ll feel right at home here. It’s thrilling, emotional, and absolutely addictive.
