I always feel like I loose steam with Grady Hendrix books. Meaning I love the premise. I think he really builds out his work, but I find that the plot just keeps going and going even after I feel like we've hit a good wrap up point for the book.

Excellent resource for any one who is looking to learn more about the war in Ukraine. This is a very text heavy graphic novel, however I thought it was very interesting reading about every day people's experiences with the war.

This book is now my personality and Ford Grant is my new favorite book boyfriend. 

When this series started I was absolutely obsessed with the idea. This series is really what kick started my contemporary romance era. But I've found that I have lost interest as the series continued. This book was very cute, but generally just an average read for me. 

This book was a silly, goofy time. It felt like a cozy mix between Katee Robert's Demon series and Ice Planet Barbarians. There were so many giggle worthy moments in this book! I would reccomend the audiobook.

I'm calling this Mistborn meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Scoobies. It's like a better ACOTAR. And there's an arctic fox animal companion. 

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I listened on audio. The world was very dark and gritty, which I'm not used to reading about in Fae romance. Also it is an urban fantasy so it was interesting see how older lore associated with the Fae was incorporated into this dark, Mafia type story. It did end on quite a cliffhanger. I'm excited to listen to more books in this series.

This book was such a fun ride! I loved the world that the author placed us into. I felt like the magic system was pretty interesting and something I haven't seen before. I love when authors play with a death magic character or element.

My favorite part of this book was the fact that I felt like the main female character was saving herself throughout this entire book. We weren't waiting for a prince or even a dark prince. She was out here fighting for her life and manipulating those who were trying to oppress her. Ivy really had the upper hand the entire book. I really enjoyed that aspect.

After the wild ride that was this book....the cliff hanger left me needing more. How did we just stop there? Ugh! So good!

Thank you to The Nerd Fam for the gifted eARC. #heirofillusion #thenerdfam

This books felt like the author was writing a love letter to reading books meshed with a super awesome fantasy background. Elowen was like Daenyrs mixed with Belle with every sassy ya fantasy main character ever. This book was also a lot more spicy than I anticipated! Elowen and Cayden had such good chemistry and the romance scenes were so good!
