Chuckling at their fear, he lifted his hands in the air and shouted, “Boogity boo!”

3/5 ⭐️

Catchy novella from the beginning. Nodes to mental health, anxiety, eating disorders, manipulative/narcissistic partners, and more. A lot of dark aspects and very relatable beyond the fantasy. I enjoyed the references to Greek and Roman gods/realms.

"That was so very long ago. There was more joy in it when the mortals still worshiped us. Now, they're far past that. We're nothing but fairytales to them."⠀

Lou Wilham & Christis Christie, Of Loyalties and Wreckage ⠀


I just finished Of Loyalties and Wreckage by Lou Wilham and Christis Christie and it has the best duo! Ander and Mab are a unique set of mythical creatures who are thrown together by traumatic events. They watch each other's backs and pick each other up when their demons creep up to haunt them. Their banter and playful manner creates a tight bond that is threatened when they are betrayed by someone trusted. ⠀

📙 This book had some triggers, especially for SA and DA survivors, but the story highlights the power of having close friends in those cases. Of Loyalties and Wreckage combines mythology with urban fantasy in a five star magical read. It comes out in November so make sure to add it to your TBR. ⠀
