Due to my lack of availability, I no longer review Advanced Reader Copies. But feel free to request a book you’d like to see me review in the future. It can be your own :)

So I read this book.... and it wasn't that bad.
I am totally kidding. It was AWFUL. Jesus Christ, possibly one of the worst books I have ever read. But not THE worst book... (cries in flock and exodus) Tory and Darcy are torn out o...
Jesus Christ. I don't even know where to begin. First of all, is anyone surprised that this is one of the most recommended books in the history of overhyped books? I am not. lmao Second of all, Hades and Persephone? Again? How many mo...
I beta read this book for Jean and this was adorable.
A great emotional slow-burn that I think you guys are going to love
TW: SA, Child Abuse, Non-consensual consent. I received an ARC for this book in exchange for an honest review. As usual, HD coming in with her thriller-romance vibes that I love. The author of the cat and mouse duet (possibly one of my...
This is my 8th time reading this book and I realized I have never written a review for it... illiterate human saves immortal pussy boyfriend from eternal damnation.
10/10
Fun fact: I wanted to be an archeologist until the age of 16! I almost went to college for it and I love everything about the theme of this book. I understand why you love this so much. It is so unique and I have never read anything l...
Elsie is my new go to author if I want to feel good and have a good time. Her characters are relatable, her writing is easy and has a nice flow and I love swooning over farm boys for her. These two were perfect together and she really ...
Okay, here is the thing... I read over 300 pages of nothing. Nothing happened in this book. You guys always tell me: "keep going, the second one is better", "keep going, it gets better", but if we have to keep telling everyone it only...
I received an Advanced Reader Copy for this book in exchange for an honest review
I don't give five stars often... If you liked the love hypothesis, this book is here to break it's neck, spit on it and bury it under every white cis m...
This wasn't bad. I had swore off Tessa Bailey books because of her writing style and how cringy her s&x scenes were, THEN she decided to put out a murder mystery and I love stuff like that. I decided to give her a second chance. Here's ...
The story is cute but... the blandest couple, ZERO CHEMISTRY or sexual tension. They didn't even have chemistry as friends. 500 pages of nothing, honestly. I love Mariana Zapata but I am starting to think it's going to take a lot f...
A masterpiece, really
for 120 something pages this delivered so much! the cutest novella, these characters were complex, the plot was interesting enough and it really did feel like I was reading a big book, because of how intense this...
An easy read I picked up because I was swamped with work and it was on audible. Let's do a compliment sandwich for this one, shall we? > the whole story relied on miscommunication > the FMC was unrelatable, whiny and her self-pity and ...
This was SO MUCH better than Below Zero. I also used audible for this. Narration was top notch, these two characters had amazing chemistry, the story was very cute. This is everything a novella is supposed to be. Cute romcommy plot, qu...
TW: cheating, panic attacks, mental health talk, dealing with the loss of a parent, we defend women's rights but most importantly we also defend women's wrongs. This is why I can't bring myself to DNF books. I picked this up, read 50%...
trigger warning: snooze fest. If you have read this book and you liked it: do not read this review. It will also contain minor spoilers. I have read love and other words by Christina Lauren and I actually enjoyed it. I had many issues...
I am not going to humiliate this book... but I am also not going to....PRAISE IT. Was it spicy? Yes, sure. Some of these scenes were very original, SUPER creative, and very sensual. Sara's writing was also consistent, with a really ea...
This is going to be a tough review to write. I had high expectations and I love Carian Cole's writing. I am a huge age gap fan and I thought I was going to love this. The idea behind this was great, the problem was the execution. Befor...
Oh Boy... Is this the book tiktok has been screaming about for the last 385 consecutive days since it came out? The book where the main character took five entire pages to say yes or no to a simple question? Where do I even start? I ...
Meh… No, I can't just say meh. I am a respected reviewer. I have been doing this for nearly two years and I need to offer you a concise, well explained, well-thought-out explanation on why I didn't enjoy this. googles synonyms for aver...
Step aside, Elsie Silver is our new Shania Twain. ALEXA PLAY ANY MAN OF MINE THIS BOOK IS GONNA GET EVERY BARBIE HORSE DREAM YOU HAVE EVER HAD, PUT THEM TOGETHER IN A BOX AND SHIP YOU TO THAT PINK STABLE YOUR MOM NEVER HAD MONEY TO B...
SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP THE BEST DEVIL BOOK YET I WILL NEVER GET OVER THEM!!!! I GOT TO READ THIS BEFORE ARCS WERE EVEN OUT AND I AM SO LUCKY I COULD CRY. This is out June 23rd, by the way. SET AN ALARM, GET YOUR CALENDAR, PUT A...
The slowest burn out of all 3 Devil Books, but so worth it in the end. These two had such a different vibe. They were so good for each other and you could absolutely tell from the beginning. This is definitely a feel good, summer vibes...
You can get access to this novella once you finish The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea on kindle, if you scroll to the end of the book you will get a link to download it for free.
This is the most adorable novella about their wedding day in...
Another adorable, nuanced, insightful, funny, organic and relatable book by Emily. But I can't help but wonder... January? Really? You named our FMC January? Every time Gus said her name out loud all I could imagine was a 78 year old to...
No one writes like Emily. She has such an unique flow and a complex way of keeping things simple. She once again has won me over from page one, impressed me with the rhythm, the style, the humor, and she also impressed me with the bante...
5/1/2022: Rereading this made it more spectacular than the first time. I didn't think this was possible, but yet, here we are. Six blasting stars. I have no idea what happened to me. This entire month I had the most uncontrollable urge...
I received an ARC for this book from Harper Collins in exchange for an honest review. This is a spoiler-free review. That being said, this is me right now: I will never, ever be able to put into words how much these characters and this ...
Did you read All Rhodes Lead Here? Did you like it? If you did, this one is for you. I am glad I haven't given up on Mariana after completely hating From Lukov with Love. I know what she is capable of, and this is it. All Rhodes Lead h...
I never thought this day would come, the day I would give two stars to a MZ book. As usual, Booktok overhypes bad books. That's it. I am obsessed with Mariana. All Rhodes Lead Here and Wall of Winnipeg were two of the very few books th...
Parallel's first book is still my favorite out of the two. That being said, we did get so much more from them as a couple here, and the plot-twists and action scenes of this book were so well written and well developed. As usual, Elizabe...
Be warned, if you love this book, do not read this review. I am not showing it any mercy. To say I had massive expectations is an understatement. I jumped into this knowing I was getting into a romcom. I was waiting for people we meet ...
This was such an adorable short story. Both characters had insane chemistry, the dialogues were funny, sexy and sweet and the entire thing was perfectly written. I had a great time. We get the sweetest sex scene at the end, and I hones...
Devney's writing is still great. We did slow down with this book though, in comparison to Indigo Ridge. Here are the answer to some popular questions: I think this was way less spicy than indigo ridge, (with way less sex scenes) even tho...
I am a bookstagrammer, nearing 200 reviews and over 200 books read in the course of a year. Yes, I know, there are people who read double in less time, but that doesn't make my opinion any less valid. I have been taking recommendations ...
I am honestly super impressed. I loved Devney's writing. Small town romance, double pov + investigative work. Winslow is a female cop who moved back to be the new chief in her home town, where her grandfather is mayor. A little bit of ne...
check trigger warnings, available on the first page of the book. I have received an ARC for Helfyre in exchange for my honest review and this is what this is. Mariel's debut fantasy novel, with a huge touch of Sarah J Maas and a Dark ...
When all of you were raving about this book about a year ago, I was traumatized. I wanted to tell all of you to shut the fuck up and leave me alone. Especially because I don't trust a single raving review that comes from tiktok. I am s...
OK FIRST OF ALL: y'all do such a shitty job at advertising books, this should be illegal. What's the point of saying: I am a bookstagrammer when you DON'T DISCLOSE important information? This book is a Walt Disney's grandson fanfic. Th...
It takes a very special talent to make a reverse harem boring. Brutal honesty? Writing? Mediocre. Character Development? Non-existent. R@pe? Just there for the sake of it. Daddy? Yours. Hotel? Not trivago.
HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS I am shaking, I am actually shaking. I can't type so you won't get a review. I cried, my eyes watered. This entire thing was too much. Also, Ruhn should have a wheelchair for carrying most of this book on his bac...
JOIN MY: A WHORE FOR UNCLE TOR CLUB My first Carian Cole book did not disappoint. She falls in love with her dad's best friend who helped raise her and babysat her for most of her life. You know me and a massive taboo age gap. You'd ...
Look, this was just a good fucking time. What can I say?
If you have even a drop of my daddy issues, just get ready to read this book one handed
You told me this would get better. You promised me. You said you are going to bawl your eyes out. Oh, I did. I did cry, wishing once again I was illiterate. I cried for being lied to, I cried because I read over 700 pages for them to mea...
Cecelia grew up sick. I grew up literate. This book made me wish I had skipped pre-school and elementary school all together. I have never hated something this much and I will have to warn you, please don't read the rest of this review ...
The sheer perfection of this book. I have no words. This gif represents how f*cking delicious the sexual tension was in this. One of the best written slow burns I have ever read. Have you ever read a book without a SINGLE FLAW in it?...
I have received an ARC for this book and this is my honest review. TW: R@P#, Explicit Violence, Murder, Blood, Sex Trafficking, Psychological Trauma and Torment, PTSD, "Non Consensual" consent, trauma journey. Another unputdownable mast...
Elizabeth F*cking O'Roark ladies and gentlemen. A Poet. I swear to God. This was WAY TOO GOOD. Brutally good. What even is this writing?!?! I picked this up because my dear friend Michele told me this contained the words: teacher, stude...
Them booktok bitches are getting paid to promote stuff like this I swear to god. I would roast it but my momma said I’m not allowed to burn trash
TW:the awakening of your daddy issues. This was one of the most delicious taboo reads of all times for me. I was on a cop kick, desperately searching for the best cop romance and I was GIFTED this masterpiece while on my search. Not ...
Hi God. It's me again. I tried, I really tried. I read two of her books in the spam of three days and I never thought I'd say this but she made me wish I was illiterate. I didn't think anyone could ruin my favorite trope for me. I tho...
SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP Mariana started the year with a FUCKING BANGER for me. Her writing is fucking fantastic. This book was absolutely PERFECT I WOULDN'T HAVE CHANGED A SINGLE THING AND COMING FROM ME THATS A WHOLE FUCKING LOT. ...
TW: Rape, miscommunication tropes, very indecisive heroine. This book was perfect, until the very end, until it was not. I am one of the few people who is actually a sucker for Friends-to-lovers, yes, it's one of my favorite tropes. I ...
TW: Suicide, depression, cringy sex scenes and one of the worst main female characters you will ever read about. Also the fact that she actually calls him medicine man to his face and multiple times throughout the book. At some point she...
this review contains spoilers Holy shit, I can't believe I finished this. I am done. I have read every SJM book out there.
I love Sarah. I will never pick up one of her books and not finish it. I love her writing, her world building, h...
Everything hurts.
I still hate Aelin tho.
She is selfish, childish, lied to everyone to get what she wanted all the time. Never cared about anything other than the result that would benefit her. Played Chaol and Dorian emotionally bec...
The best book in this series. The best character development in this series. We Stan Chaol. We Stan Yrene. We Stan Sartaq and Nesryn. We Stan the best book ever written by SJM. I have no words. Will come back later for a full review once...
Merry Christmas? Not even Santa Claus escapes unscathed from y’all. The closest we get to Easter the more concerned and excited I become, lmao.
Ugh, I wanted to love this so very much. The first one was the best historical I have read all year. I really do love the way Charis writes but this one was extremely info dumpy. It started really well, and the plans for this were amazi...
Oh boy...here we go. I am about to humiliate the shit out of this book (in a good way?), please if you liked this, don't take it personally. It is totally reasonable to have liked this, maybe.. Let me just make a few points first. Stell...
Welcome to my TED talk, where I shove YET another entire review up my a** and change my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars for another book in this series because Manon means everything to me and I will give my life away to defend Chaol f...
This is me shoving this entire review up my as* and eating my words because I actually love this book now that I am rereading it. Will come back with more news and my tail between my legs once I finish it. Well, I finished this book fo...
I just made one of my podcast episodes available to the public, not only for members on my patreon and it's about Ali Hazelwood, Tiktok Hype, her novellas and this book.
Go check it out!
LISTEN HERE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ /5
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨/5
This was so well written, intelligent, witty, funny and sexy (even though the tension I thought I’d encounter would be way bigger than it was) No spice at all really, but it was cute. Good characters, great dialogues, good...
WHY IS IT SPICY?!??? not your typical rom-com, there is spice throughout and not only at 99% of the book. I only picked this up because I saw Penelope Douglas’ name on the cover recommending it and it did not disappoint. Very original p...
Well, f*ck. Yes, Master …I guess. Also Clowns. I guess my Pennywise fantasies were not in vain. lmao She’s a good writer and this was actually milder than I expected lol so yeah... 4 degrading stars
HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOLY SHIT BALLS THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY INSANE, THIS WAS THE BEST NOVELLA I HAVE EVER READ. ABBY I HOPE YOU HAVE THE BIGGEST GOLD CASTLE IN HEAVEN. YOU WERE BRILLIANT! Brilliant.
I have never realized I did not write a review for one of my favorite books of all times, one I have read more than twice. Or maybe I did and goodreads deleted it, anyways... Penelope is one of the best romance writers of our generatio...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 If anyone ever asks me: why do you think Sarah deserves the following/fame/money she has? I will show them this book, over and over again. I regret not reading this on my first throne of glass read-through. Never, e...
September 6th reread. My first reread of the year. I never understood when people said they had a “comfort read” book. Until I found myself needing some comfort from life and all I could think about was how much this book makes me smile ...
I am sobbing. I never wanted this to end. This was the most perfect, open ended novella I have ever read. Characters we have seen develop and grow for years now, characters we love, characters that are as real to me as my own beating he...
