Not a second of filler in this scorching Sleeping Beauty retelling. I flew through this book because it was impossible to stop reading. The story telling is so fast paced but so rich in detail, I feel like I just went on the most whirlwind adventure of my life. The romance in this book is everything I love; forced proximity, forbidden, a combination of rough and tender with a morally dark grey knight who is protective and broody. I loved the dual POVs and felt like it added so much more perspective to the story being able to see what Briar and Killian were experiencing. The ending was sneaky because it felt so satisfying and still left me wanting more. I’m so anticipating the next installment of this series to get more fantastical fairytale spice.

I couldn't get enough of this book!!! It's Wicked meets Hunger Games and gave all of the deadly witchy faction-based tournament vibes I was hoping for. There's high stakes, amazing characters, a really intriguing magic system, magical rivalries, plot twists galore, I could literally go on and on. There was so much packed into this book since it's a standalone but by the end I felt so close to the characters and the story and wanted more just so I could keep hanging out with them. Rose and Leo (gave me major Titantic vibes with their names but that's besides the point) had the best banter and such a sweet way of connecting and progressing from strangers to friends, and helping each other through all the wild things they encounter together. Adding another to the list of fictional places I want to live in bc Veridia City was so so magical to spend a few days in!

Talk about epic worldbuilding!! This book is a heavy read, it’s fairly long and is absolutely packed with details about the characters and the world they live in, down to their politics, religion, customs and everything else. I love books about court politics and royal intrigue and this book delivered that in such an interesting way. There is a lot going on in this book, but the plot flows beautifully throughout the exploration of this world. The mystery unfolding along with the building of relationships and the rich descriptions of just about everything in this book made it so immersive and so fun to read. Caelerys is such a sweet soul of a main character, she is so relatable and so admirable at the same time. I loved getting to know her throughout this story and watching her relationships with family and friends develop as she navigates a new world and discovers herself along the way. If you’re looking for an enchanting world with amazing characters, beautiful creatures and an intriguing court life, I highly recommend taking the time to dive into this book.

It's not often that you get to read one of your favorite books for the first time again. WO W. A Kingdom of Flame and Fury blew me away the first time I read it and after reading the new version, I will never recover.

This book has secrets, soulmates, and all the spice. From the very first page, it is thrilling and dark and addicting. Raven is an absolute force of a main character. She's smart, strong, beautiful, witty and powerful but she is also haunted by questions about herself and a fear that she will never be loved or truly accepted. We get to watch her unravel the truth of her mysterious history, discover parts of herself that she never knew existed, and fall into a love that not only consumes her but saves her as well. The dynamic between Raven and Zeke is so alluring it makes this book impossible to put down. Their instant connection, banter, heat and protectiveness over each other were so enjoyable for me and just hit everything I love in a romance story. This story is dark, emotional, and gripping; it delivers constant excitement, turmoil, action, romance and magic. Whitney's Version provides so much additional insight and depth, making this such a satisfying reread. If you're a lover of dark fantasy romance, this is an absolute need for your shelf.

I loved this book so immensely!!! Deadly games, forbidden romance, GHOST CAT??? Did this book come from my dreams? Kaylie’s writing is absolutely enthralling, the detail and emotion behind everything is just mind blowing. The way she incorporates mental health into her story is so illuminating and inspiring, it resonated so so much with me and made me feel so seen. 

I grew so emotionally attached to the characters, this is one of those books I felt sad to finish because I felt like I was leaving my friends. Ophelia and Blackwell have officially been adopted into my most favorite book couples ever, she’s such a badass and he is just beyond anything my little banter loving heart can handle. 

This book is truly so special, it made me feel so many feelings and I did not want it to end. I cannot wait to read the next book and get more of this series, this family, and all the unhinged lore I know is coming 🖤

This one really scratched the arranged marriage-forced proximity-enemies to lovers-touch her and die-hidden identity itch I didn’t know I had right now. It was packed with political intrigue, really rich world building that I cannot wait to read more of, and alllll the tension, sharp banter, and “my wife” I love in an arranged marriage trope. The female lead, Dahlia, is sassy and strong, and you will absolutely fall in love with Neve, promise. The ending left me with my jaw hanging and I cannot stop thinking about what’s going to happen in the next book. The stakes are high for real in this one and I cannot wait to see where it goes!

Still gasping for air over this one! I’ve been dying for this sequel and it delivered every second of scorching spicy siren chaos I was waiting for. Whit’s writing is so fantastic, I’m not kidding when I say my jaw dropped multiple times during this book. The story gets so much deeper, so much is explained and yet the unanswered questions have me desperate for the next book already. I love love love Maren and Kye so much, they are the perfect combination of badass, female ragey FMC and foul-mouthed, sarcastic, tattooed MMC ever. Their love story, fierce protectiveness of each other and growth as a couple are just the perfect cherry on top of how unbelievably hot they are. This was one of those books that I truly did not want to end, I could read about Maren and Kye’s history and all their adventures until the end of time. I cannot wait for the next book 

Amazing from start to finish! The story's unique blend of romantic fantasy, a little bit of horror/mystery, and Celtic mythology creates a magical experience that feels like it never lets up for a second. The nods to ancient myths and legends are woven seamlessly into the plot, adding an extra layer of enchantment that fantasy lovers will appreciate. 

Róis and Neferil's relationship stands out with its depth and intensity, perfectly balanced to complement the main plot without overshadowing it. Their chemistry has a nice forced proximity/slow burn element and I just loved feeling their relationship grow throughout the book. 

A Flower's Fatal Thorns was such an exhilarating read. The writing was so beautiful, and had an underlying feeling of woodsy witchy horror that just felt perfect as autumn is coming to a close

Every time I think this series can’t possibly get better, Evie just decimates my soul.

I will never recover from the emotional roller this book took me on. The lore, the magic, the animal friends, the twists, the spice. It just. kept. GOING. So much character and story development, so much heartbreak and healing, so many revelations. My mind is still spinning and my life won’t hold any meaning until I get my hands on the next book. I neeed to know what happens next and I need need need more Sabine and Basten. My babies. My loves. These characters are so close to my heart, and Evie’s writing is just out of this world. 

I am so glad this series has more to come because I’m not ready for it to be over any time soon. It truly is so special and so magical. 

This is a really great series debut! It offers a fresh take on familiar tropes, strong character development, and an intriguing plot that promises more exciting adventures to come. The book wastes absolutely no time diving straight into the story, the world-building and the characters’ back stories. From the outset, Layla’s struggles of feeling like a failure are so relatable and set the scene for the journey she embarks on and the twists along the way. The concept of angels as antagonists adds a unique twist, and the lore is rich without it feeling dense or boring. The slow burn romance added a nice touch of tension, banter and levity and while I’m usually not taken by a childhood friends to lovers trope this one had me giggling and kicking my feet. I can’t articulate exactly why, but this book gave me some witchy Fourth Wing vibes at times and it had me hooked!
