Very cutesy lil grumpy x sunshine romance! I’m a sucker for a fate dating trope, and this one delivered!  It did feel a bit rushed at times, and wish we got an epilogue or something as it felt like it ended a bit abruptly. But it was still a fun read, I ate it up in a day!

Just when I think I can’t love the Glimmer Falls books any more, Ben and Eleanor come along 🥹 this book was just so sweet and tender while still having the perfect amount of spice and shenanigans! The soft boy werewolf x vampire succubus dom vibes KILLED ME. I couldn’t get enough of it. 

There was such a major focus on mental health in this book, with Ben’s anxiety and Eleanor’s PTSD reflected so well. The author worked in a beautiful message of hope and love around these topics, and it felt so genuine and well done.

As always, the narrator absolutely killed it, with the most perfect voices for Ben and Eleanor. 

Infinite stars. I’m honestly speechless.

Shoutout to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book!

This was such an incredible continuation of the Drowned Gods trilogy, I was absolutely blown away by the way that Pascale expanded this world and story in a way that felt so natural but also unexpected. Picking up right after the events of Curious Tides, we get to follow Emory, Romie, Baz and Kai as they navigate new worlds and times.

I loved having multiple POV’s in this book, as it helped give a more well-rounded view of both people and events. We meet new characters, and get to know familiar faces even better. Baz and Kai truly have my whole entire heart, and so many moments between them had me either crying or giggling and cheering them on. Emory also experienced so much growth in this book, and I’m so invested in where her story will take us! 

I will never stop praising this book and series, and I cannot wait for the finale!

 I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCHHHH! It was steeped in so much Latinx culture, I felt so immersed in the story and characters and it was written so beautifully and intentionally. It was such a wonderful coming of age story with the added difficulty of a trans protagonist trying to prove his place and gender with his more traditional family. It was also reflective of the struggles of Latinx Americans, especially children of immigrants, and I loved learning more about this aspect of things.

The story had some very unexpected twists and turns, and I didn’t want it to end! 

Okay I ate this UP. I didn’t think I’d love it as much as the first Glimmer Falls book, but this one exceeded my expectations! Not only did I fall more in love with Calladia and Asteroth by the minute, but the new characters like Lilith and Kai made the story an absolute DELIGHT. 

I felt like there was a perfect balance between fun, lighthearted vibes alongside some heavier topics like emotional abuse and difficult familial relationships. Sarah managed to tackle some of these topics really well, and delivered a great message along with them. 

I also loved the audiobook narrator - she did an incredible job and embodying the characters and story, and I loved it SO MUCH

This was so close to 5 stars but I felt like there were some missed opportunities with the ending and it fell a bit flat for me! But otherwise, I devoured this book and had the best time with it! A perfect mix of solid plot and an intriguing mystery along with some spiccyyyyy spice. So excited to discuss with book club!

An exciting ending to the trilogy! Lots of twists and turns kept me on my toes, but at certain points it felt like conflicts wrapped up too quickly. The epilogue absolutely killed me in the best way.

Omg this was the perfect, lighthearted lil romance to help bust a reading slump! Mariel is sweet and funny, and I’m obsessed with her green thumb! Oz is the perfect stuck-up grumpy demon to Mariel’s sunshine and I loved watching them fall for each other. While the overarching plot did lose me at times, the banter and romance was enough to keep me hooked.

Thank you to BookSirens for an advanced copy of this ebook in exchange for my unbiased review!

We’re back with Quiet and Rorick again - this time with spooky clowns! While this is a gothic romance, I found it was a little too much on the cozy side to really give me gothic vibes. I also felt like quiet and rorick were working against each other for a lot of it (and keeping lots of secrets) and I personally would have loved more of them working in tandem the way we know they do so well. Overall still  very fun read with a nice smattering of spice though!
