Genre: Psychological Thriller 

A NYC couple struggling to pay their mortgage get a tenant to help with the bills but she is a nightmare after she moves in. 

The main POV is told from a male which is a first from this author. I enjoyed the twists and turns. This one was very predictable for me though.  I have read every single one of her books and usually I’m off about something. 

Overall solid book, would rank it somewhere in the middle of all of them. Can’t wait for her next one! 

Thank you Poisoned Pen Press for the gifted copy!

Genre: Fantasy Romance

ALL THE STARS!!! I couldn’t put this one down. The slow burn romance and the twists and turns were so good! It kind of reminded me a little bit of Bridge Kingdom with the arranged marriage and the mysterious city no one knows anything about but with the added twist of monsters/forest creatures. 
    This is her first fantasy romance book & I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Genre: Children’s Chapter Book 

Two houseplants, a spider, & and goldfish become unlikely friends. 

This was a super cute and sweet book about friendship and helping others with a sprinkle of fantasy/magic.  The characters were lively and kept my attention. I liked how some harder vocabulary words were mixed in and explained in a fun way. Kids will love it! 

Thank you Simon & Schuster Children’s Books for the ARC! 🪴🕷️

Genre: YA Fantasy 

Satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. 
    My favorite part was the prisoner POV and her escape plan/ seeing the old characters from the first book. 

fast-paced

Genre: Psychological Thriller

This is a short story you can read in one sitting. In true Freida fashion, you are led one way and think you know what’s happening and then… bam! 
    The ending is ambiguous and I’m not entirely sure what to believe actually happened. 
slow-paced



Genre: YA Coming of Age/ Fantasy 

This was not what I thought it was going to be. The first half is mostly a contemporary coming of age with fantasy dreams. There is Vietnamese mythology mixed in and the fantasy part picks up at the end. I wanted more of the fantasy world and less of the high school setting.

Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy
 
In a new neighborhood, a girl sees a house land upside down in her backyard. She must help the magician get back on her feet. 

Cute, fun book about magic and helping others. 
reflective slow-paced

Genre: Magical Realism 

If you read Weyward or Adrienne Young’s adult books, this has a very similar feel. 
   It’s goes back and forth between two timelines following the story of 4 woman who are all intertwined with a call to the sea.  I liked the mystery of the potential of sirens being real and what they stand for.  While the story was predictable, I enjoyed watching it unfold and seeing the sisters bond and grow.

4.5/5

Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy 

Book 2 in a magic school series where humans, demifae, & fae all learn to harness their powers at a special school. Cute, fun read. Left room for a third book. 
adventurous medium-paced

I’ve seen a lot of poor reviews for this one. It’s not awful. It reads more as YA fantasy adventure than an adult fantasy romance. I think it’s a little too long and choppy at times.  I got bored in the middle and switched to the audio to finish.  
It wasn’t memorable for me but if you enjoy more YA books then give it a try.
