Dragonhart by Abbie Eaton is an absolute knockout of a debut novel! If you love dragons, magic, political intrigue, and an FMC with a vengeance to serve, then this book is exactly what you need.
Arla Reinhart is your typical fantasy FMC; she is strong willed and determined, but I do think calling her a total badass is a little misleading. She’s only 19, and despite being labeled a prodigy, she stumbles quite a bit, which makes her feel more human but also highlights that she still needs some development. I actually liked that she wasn’t perfect, but it did make me question some of the setup around her skills and reputation.
The enemies to lovers dynamic with Hark Stappen was engaging, full of tension and reluctant alliance, though there were definitely some juvenile moments and a LOT of swearing that sometimes pulled me out of the world. That said, the forced proximity and slow building trust between them kept me hooked.
The worldbuilding is immersive, blending magic, politics, and danger in a way that’s hard to put down. The crumbling kingdoms, missing shipments, and looming return of dragons add a great sense of urgency. And let’s talk about the DRAGONS! Their presence in the story is phenomenal, and I won’t spoil it, but it’s one of the best aspects of the book.
I do have to say, Dragonhart does feel quite similar to Throne of Glass and ACOTAR, from the structure to the themes and certain character dynamics. If you love those series, you’ll likely enjoy this one, though it leans heavily into familiar tropes.
This book pulled me out of a fantasy slump (thanks, Onyx Storm hangover), and I know it’s going to be a huge hit. If you like Rebecca Yarros, you will devour Dragonhart. If you love high stakes fantasy with action, romance, and an FMC still coming into her own, don’t sleep on this one. It is great for a debut novel and I am looking forward to more in this series. 🔥🐉✨

In a world that constantly feels like it’s running at full speed, How to Be Busy by Rachelle Crawford is exactly the kind of book we all need. It doesn’t shame you for having a packed schedule or tell you to quit everything and move to a cabin in the woods. Instead, it acknowledges that sometimes, busyness is just life—and teaches you how to handle it in a way that won’t leave you completely burnt out.
What I loved most was how hilarious this book is! So many self-help books feel preachy or heavy, but Crawford takes a lighthearted approach that makes everything feel way less overwhelming. Her humor keeps things engaging while still delivering super practical tips, like how to set boundaries, eliminate unnecessary stressors, and create a system to handle the inevitable chaos of life.
This isn’t about avoiding being busy—it’s about learning how to do it well and in a way that still leaves room for joy, self-care, and sanity. If you’ve ever felt like you’re being pulled in a million directions (so, basically everyone), this book is a must read. Highly recommend!

Healthy Happy ADHD: Transform How You Move, Eat, and Feel, and Create Your Own Path to Well-Being
As an adult woman recently diagnosed with ADHD, the sheer amount of information out there can be so overwhelming, but Healthy Happy ADHD is an amazing guide that makes it all feel a little more manageable. Lisa Dee does a fantastic job breaking things down in an ADHD-friendly way, offering realistic and adaptable advice for navigating life with ADHD.
One of my favorite parts was the discussion on ADHD and its connection to PMDD. This is so often overlooked, yet it’s a huge issue for so many women. Seeing it addressed so thoroughly made me feel seen in a way that few ADHD books have before.
That said, the book lost me a little when it veered into diet, exercise, and chemical exposure. While I get the importance of overall well-being, it sometimes felt like there was an implication that these factors were to blame for ADHD symptoms rather than tools to help manage them. That section didn’t resonate with me as much, but overall, the book provided incredible insights, helpful strategies, and a sense of understanding that’s invaluable.
If you’re an ADHD woman looking for a compassionate, practical guide that covers everything from executive dysfunction to self-compassion (and even those often missed hormonal connections), this book is absolutely worth picking up!

Marja Graham’s prose is absolutely stunning, with every sentence rafted with such care that you feel every emotion, every stolen glance, every unspoken word. She has a way of showing rather than telling that makes the story immersive and deeply felt. Her writing? Perfection.
That being said, the pacing dragged. While I loved the premise—a former musician turned lawyer clashing with a pop star hiding in plain sight—the execution didn’t quite live up to the promise. It took forever for anything significant to happen, and I found myself wishing things would pick up sooner. I wanted more movement, more momentum, especially with such an emotional, high stakes setup.
Garrett and Evelyn had a beautiful connection, and their slow burn, friends to lovers romance had some really touching moments. I just wish the story matched the intensity of their emotions a little better. It’s a book that could have been a five star read if the pacing had been tighter.
If you love gorgeous writing, an interesting and unique premise, and characters with depth, Over The Edge is worth the read—just be prepared for a slower journey to get there.

Catherine Cowles never misses, and Beautiful Exile is yet another perfect example of why I devour everything she writes. Romantic suspense? Check. Small town charm? Check. Found family? Double check. Every. Single. Time. She pulls me in and refuses to let go.
Arden and Lincoln had insane chemistry, the kind that simmers beneath the surface until it finally ignites. I loved how patient and steady Linc was—he saw right through Arden’s walls and knew exactly how to show her that love and support didn’t have to come with conditions. He didn’t just fight for her; he stood for her, proving that sometimes the right person can make even the most guarded heart feel safe. Their dynamic was everything I wanted—tension, tenderness, and a love that felt earned. And Catherine writing a billionaire? Yes, please. Linc was so hot (and the money does not hurt).
And the suspense? Chef’s kiss. I should be used to Catherine Cowles keeping me on my toes, but once again, I did not guess who the villain was. The twists, the danger, the unraveling of Arden’s past—it all had me flipping pages like my life depended on it.
If you love protective MMCs, fiercely independent FMCs, small town, found family, and a story that keeps you invested from the first knife to the throat meeting (seriously, what an opening), Beautiful Exile is an absolute must read. Catherine Cowles just gets it. Every. Single. Time.

Camille Kellogg delivers a heartfelt and charming queer rom com with The Next Chapter, a sapphic twist on Notting Hill that blends humor, vulnerability, and sharp social commentary.
Katrina Kelly, a former child star with a fading career, is grappling with her sexuality and the pressures of Hollywood. In a bid to rebrand and revive her relevance, she embarks on a PR relationship with Jude Thacker, a reserved bookseller who wants nothing to do with the spotlight. What starts as a calculated move quickly turns complicated as real emotions surface, forcing both women to question what they truly want.
Kellogg excels in crafting complex, deeply human characters. Kat’s journey of self discovery and Jude’s struggle with anxiety feel authentic, making their slow burn romance all the more satisfying. Their chemistry is undeniable, but the novel doesn’t shy away from the challenges of navigating love in the public eye. The tension between personal growth and external expectations keeps the story engaging, while witty banter and a cast of lovable side characters provide levity.
The novel also critiques the commodification of queerness in media, adding depth beyond the romance. It was a heartfelt and character driven love story that will make you root for Kat and Jude as they navigate fame, fear, and the possibility of something real.
Overall, The Next Chapter is a delightful, emotionally resonant read that delivers a sweet romance alongside thoughtful exploration of identity and self worth. Highly recommended for fans of queer rom coms and slow burn love stories with a touch of celebrity drama.

L.J. Shen is usually a go to for angsty, emotionally charged romances, and Truly Madly Deeply had all the right elements: a grumpy, brooding MMC, a sunshine (or supposedly sunshine) FMC, and a second chance, enemies to lovers dynamic. Unfortunately, while the premise was solid, the execution left something to be desired.
The Story & Characters
Calla Litvin (Cal) and Ambrose Casablancas (Row) have history—one that resulted in a massive fallout when Cal’s best friend (and Row’s sister), Dylan, caught them together. Fast forward years later, and Cal is back in town after her father’s passing, struggling to find her footing while working up the courage to start her true crime podcast. Row, now a world renowned chef, is still as grumpy and infuriatingly hot as ever, and he wants nothing to do with her. Naturally, Cal ends up working at his restaurant, and the tension is instant.
I love a brooding alpha man, and Row fit that mold perfectly. He’s driven, intense, and emotionally unavailable in all the best ways. Cal, on the other hand, was meant to be the quirky, upbeat counterpart to his moodiness, but I found her more melancholic than charming. Instead of lightening up the story, she ruminated a lot—on her past, her lost friendship, her struggles, and it made the book feel heavier than I expected.
The chemistry was definitely there, but the push and pull dragged on too long. It was 500 pages of this and I was over it after like 200. Both Cal and Row were stuck in an endless loop of “we can’t be together” while simultaneously making it obvious that’s all they wanted. There were moments of sizzling tension, but the payoff felt delayed, and I found myself wanting them to just talk it out instead of overanalyzing everything.
Also, the “mystery” of Cal’s anonymous online friend, McMonster, was painfully predictable. The second it was mentioned, it was clear it would be Row. I don’t mind a little predictability in romance, but this reveal lacked impact.
Cal’s obsession with the 90s was a bit much. I love a nostalgic throwback, but it felt excessive—especially since she wasn’t even alive during the decade. Instead of adding charm, it made me feel old and has me asking myself why that was the thing she clung onto after her traumatic accident.
This was a dual POV narration with Teddy Hamilton and Lila Winters. Teddy Hamilton? Fantastic as always. His deep, gravelly voice is perfect for grumpy MMCs, and he brought Row to life effortlessly. Lila Winters, on the other hand, was a miss for me. She sounded flat at times, overly dramatic at others, and I struggled to connect with her portrayal of Cal.
Truly, Madly, Deeply had moments of brilliance—a well crafted grumpy MMC, some great tension, and L.J. Shen’s signature angst—but it felt slower and more drawn out than necessary. If you love second chance romance with a grumpy x sunshine dynamic and don’t mind a bit of emotional heaviness, you might enjoy this one. But if you’re looking for a truly lighthearted sunshine FMC, this might not fully hit the mark.
Would I recommend it? Yes, but with reservations. If you’re an L.J. Shen fan, give it a go. If you’re new to her work, I’d start with The Kiss Thief or Midnight Blue instead.

If you’re looking for a cozy MM paranormal romance, Thirsty delivers on that front, but don’t expect a lot of depth or rom com level humor. While the book sets up an intriguing supernatural world with a diverse cast of creatures, the romance and execution left me wanting more.
The highlight of this book for me was definitely the worldbuilding. I really enjoyed seeing how different supernatural communities integrated into modern society, and the found family theme was a nice touch. But that’s where my enjoyment mostly stopped. The romance? A bit bland. The stakes? Too low for me to stay fully invested. I know cozy romances don’t dive too deep, but I would’ve liked to see more than a paragraph or two dedicated to Charlie and Lorenzo actually working through their issues. Their attraction also felt sudden—one moment they were annoyed with each other, and the next, bam, romantic tension.
And speaking of things that didn’t work for me…
🔹 Lorenzo’s revenge plot – A 200 year old vampire holding a grudge over a university fling? Felt a bit meh.
🔹 Charlie’s advice column subplot – Why were all these internet strangers seeking out his column instead of, you know, Reddit?
🔹 The writing/editing – There were formatting issues (hoping this gets cleaned up before final publication), including missing italics and quotation marks that made it difficult to follow. Some chapters also jumped forward in time abruptly.
🔹 The pop culture references – Some felt too niche or outdated already, which can quickly date a book.
🔹 The first spice scene… on a wrecked car? – Not only was this placement odd, but the scene itself was so awkwardly written that I couldn’t tell what was happening. 😬
Despite these issues, if you love cozy paranormal romances and don’t mind a low stakes, fluffier read, you might enjoy this more than I did. But if you’re looking for something with stronger emotional depth, a more engaging romance, or polished execution, Thirsty may leave you feeling a little… parched. 💀🩸

I highly recommend experiencing this one on audio! The full cast narration takes the story to another level, making it even more immersive and gripping. The documentary style format, told through interviews, different perspectives, and shifting voices, reminded me so much of Daisy Jones & The Six, but with the intensity and passion of elite figure skating.
Katarina Shaw and Heath Rocha’s story is obsessive, toxic, magnetic, and completely unputdownable. Their chemistry—both on and off the ice—is the kind that burns through the pages, fueled by ambition, love, and deep seated wounds neither can truly escape. Fargo masterfully weaves together past and present, unraveling the scandal, heartbreak, and raw emotions that defined their careers and personal lives.
The buildup to the “shocking incident” that ended their partnership kept me on edge, and when it all unraveled… wow. The blend of sports drama, intense romance, and emotional depth made this such a standout read. Plus, the Wuthering Heights inspiration? Chef’s kiss. If you love messy, complicated relationships where love and destruction go hand in hand, The Favorites is a must read (or better yet, a must listen).
🔥 Perfect for fans of:
Figure skating & sports romances
Documentary/interview style storytelling (Daisy Jones & The Six vibes!)
Emotionally intense, passionate love stories
The fine line between love and obsession
This one lingers. I’m still thinking about it. 🖤⛸️
