Whelp I’m officially a Rin Chupeco Stan. This is the second book of theirs I’ve devoured in the past week and now I need to collect the rest of their works.
The Sacrifice is a YA haunted island horror story. A production company sets out to do a special on the island and find it much more haunted and terrifying than they anticipated.
I love stories like these. It’s the epitome of fuck around find out. You want ghosts? Whelp careful what you wish for.

Hands down one of my new favorite vampire novels. This has everything I want in a novel: court intrigue and political tension, sexual tension, poly and queer rep, family trauma, and bat-shit crazy science experimentation! This was an absolute unit of a read.

Beautiful, heartwarming, and cozy in its way. The writing is beautiful and there was great care in how each character is portrayed and addressed. Absolutely beautiful.

A tooth achingly sweet story. Fated mates, happy ever after vibes, and everything warps up neatly.

This is an absolute must-read after finishing [book:Morning Glory Milking Farm|123852869]. This story is told from Rourke's perspective during Morning Glory Milking Farm and gods above was it juicy! The level of pining we get a glimpse is feet kicking adorable. Rouke, from the outside, is rather reserved and truthfully internally as well. That is until he meets Violet. This man has been down bad since the get-go and watching him come to terms with it is so refreshing because it's more than just about the sex. Let's be honest, that has a lot to do with it but he wants more than that and it was such a joy reading about that journey. 10/10 I recommend!
