Omg what a slow-burn. And such a cool take on the apocalypse. I really enjoyed this book! The focus on Pestilence and Sara both learning what love is was done so well. I really felt all the emotions and inner turmoil they both had to experience throughout the book. 

If you want some good deep feels and a star crossed love doomed by fate, I highly recommend. They do get a HFN ending at least! But this is only book 1 so I’m excited to see where the next book goes.

It was smutty and it was sweet. A fun fast read if you’re in the mood for dragon shifter mates and heats. The spice was nice and the romance was cute, plus it’s dual POV too! I really enjoyed this one and will likely continue the series when in the mood for more dragons!

This was such a cute read! I definitely got lots of classic Disney princess movie vibes but with some mild spice added in too. I really enjoyed listening to this on audiobook; the narrator did a wonderful job. Throughout the book were so many little passing thoughts and details of chronic illness and lgbtqia+ representation that just made it feel so sweet and uplifting. Plus, I always enjoy a fun magical adventure where the two reluctant allies end up developing real feelings along the way. I mean, what other way to fall in love is there?

Bianca and Aric both feel trapped by their duties to their kingdoms. Seeing them grow and learn to overcome their parents’ expectations and demands was both frustrating and so rewarding. They both grew to love and accept themselves, despite their perceived flaws, through each other in a really wholesome way! The plot was well paced following the two try to break the curse and find who was behind the assassination attempt but I also really enjoyed the tidbits about the unique magic system. The setting was an interesting backdrop for this story without overshadowing the characters’ internal journeys and discoveries. 

If you’re in the mood for something extra sweet and mildly spicy with the nostalgic vibes of a fairytale but with a slight twist of roles where she’s the warrior princess and he’s the bookish prince out of his depth but willing to fight for love, I highly recommend giving this book a try!

This book had a really interesting and unique world of werewolves! There are four bloodlines named after the elements: water, earth, fire and air. The plot was decently intriguing with multiple interwoven plot lines for each of the main characters motivated by love, loyalty, and revenge. Unfortunately, the narration style of this book was a bit too confusing and choppy for me to follow along easily. I also would have loved to get more world building about the four bloodlines of werewolves and to see stronger relationships develop in detail between the characters. Overall, still a fairly enjoyable quick read with some pretty cool werewolves!
