Thank you oh-so-much to the wonderful Berkley Romance for sending me a free e-copy via Netgalley as well as a physical copy in exchange for an honest review!
OH MY GODS I LOVED THIS BOOK! okay okay, I'll clam down. If you don't know, I read Go Hex Yourself and looooved it, rating it five stars. I have been looking forward to this book ever since I heard it was coming out, and oh em gee this book did not disappoint!!
Their banter? Top notch. The steam? BOILING. Oh em gee was it boiling hot!! I was so entranced by Will and Penny's relationship, I loved the tension in the beginning, how it was opposites attract as well as grumpy/sunshine! They warmed my heart up! (And the spell casting with Penny having her little moments made things so interesting and fun)
I nearly read this book in one sitting, I will warn you this book is ADDICTING. The drama with the Warlocks, the smexy tension with P+W, the FAKE DATING, NO 80% BREAKUP 🥳🥳!! This book has everythinggg. And I LOVED being able to see Ben and Reggie a decent amount in this book, seeing them again made my heart soooo happy!
I cannot express into words how much I loved this book other than screaming at you the whole time, which I won't do, I've screamed enough 😂 please please pick this book up if you have a chance, as well as Go Hex Yourself! These books are both top-tier amazing and I highly recommend! I will of course be listing the tropes below if you're curious!

• Lots of Spellcasting
• SO Much Steamy Steam!!
• Fake Dating
• Opposites Attract

You guys. My heart is so fulfilled with love right now! This was soooooo cute. This is my first gay male book I've read (Not counting many Wattpad stories) and I've always wanted to read one, since I love gay boyos. I'm so happy that this one was the first one I went with to read!
This boyos were soooo cute. Like omg I ship them all the way. I'm also like really tired right now since it's like 6am and I've been reading since 2am. So don't mind if this sounds weird or is just a mess.
But yeah I'm like so in love with this one. Like this my new favorite romance contemporary book like eva. Please please please read it if you have not!

The Wicked King by Holly Black
5.0
Wow. This was a lot. The ending went in a direction I was not expecting at all.
I cant believe that all of that happened. So much happened just in the course of a few chapters. I was expecting it to go one way and it went in a way I never though it would go.
I dont really know what else to say since this is the second in the series anyways. I dont want to spoil anything.
This book was so good and it made my heart race (And it still is). I cant wait to get The Queen Of Nothing. I have it requested from my library and ebook apps, but of course a lot of other people are requesting it too so I dont know how long it will be. I hope that I get it soon though.
If you havent read The Folk Of The Air series, you definitely should.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I loved this book so much. Jude was literally a queen! I love her so much.
Cardan is my boo. Sure, there are times that I dont agree with a few things he does, but then there are also some times that I feel bad for him. And so now I love him a lot too.
So many people in here that I hated. So many deaths and bloodshed. It's just beautiful. I mean death and bloodshed isnt beautiful but you know what I mean.
I'm currently in a Readalong for the whole series of this so I cant wait to read The Wicked King. I'm definitely way behind on reading this, but I'm glad I have now.
If you havent already... GO READ IT!!

Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
5.0
This book exceeded my expectations. I read this for the Barnes & Noble YA Book Club, and I am so glad I did. I've heard so many great things and it has so many great reviews.
I am a sucker for romance and anything supernatural so this was right up my alley. I loved the main character, Lou, so much! Like this girl will do what she wants and if she doesn't want to do something, then she won't.
I also loved the love interes Reid a lot! He was... I don't really know how to word this... hot? I loved his personality and how he interacted with people.
And of course I totally ship them. I loved their banters. And, well, I've always loved the "hate to love" trope so this was amazing. Their interactions are what really made me love this book so much. Some of it made me laugh out loud!
Oh and dont get me started with the ending. I finished this earlier then I was expecting to. A few nights ago I wasn't able to sleep so I decided that I was going to read like a chapter or two. Well... two hours and 200 pages later I finished it. And you won't believe what happened near the end of the book: I got a bloody nose! This book was so good it legit gave me a bloody nose!
So, yeah.
Overall I really loved this and I highly recommend it.
