No Ordinary Love by Myah Ariel
4.5
I loved this so much, I wanted it to be a little longer!
I loved seeing Ella find her independence and become more confident in herself and asking for what she deserves.
I wish we would have gotten more scenes of Ella and Miles actually together, especially in the end! I would have loved to see how they announced their relationship and their public date. This wrapped up a little too quickly, but that goes to show how much I loved them.

Kiss Me, Mi Amor by Alana Quintana Albertson

I loved the premise of this story, but the execution just wasn't for me. It was a little cringey for me 🫣
I also don't love the way the MMC judged the FMC and her family so harshly or the way he had to put down "too skinny women with lip fillers" When complimenting the FMC's beauty.
This was just not for me.

Overall, I enjoyed this story!
Ace representation and education: I loved the rep this book has for asexuality, acknowledging that sexuality is a spectrum and can be fluid, and the bits of knowledge thrown in to the book. I will say, sometimes it was a lot of info and did sometimes feel like info dumps, but I understood that we were kind of learning with the FMC.
Social media: I think the book did a good job showing how quickly social media can rally and support, but also how quickly things can be turned around. I did love the idea of the FMC finding and building community through her posts though. I also loved how sharing her story made her realize that she wasn't alone.
Latinx representation: This book wasn't too heavy on the cultural references. The cover made it seem like it was going to be a little heavier on the culture, but not every latinx family speaks Spanish to each other. I would view this as more of a queer second first. This focused on the FMC's journey around her sexuality and newly found tiktok fame then her cultural background or ethnicity.
The romance: I kind of wish we would have gotten a little more from Krystal as the love interest. I wasn't super invested in her story. Plus, I like yearning and groveling and I wish she would have done more to prove herself to Angela.

Mikayla did it again!! 👏🏼
Air & Essence is Book 2 of the Fate of the Acna series, and I loved it just as much, if not more, than book 1! 🫶🏼 Is it too early to beg for book 3??? Asking for a friend... yes, the friend is me. 🥹
The plot, the spice, the side characters, the relationships, the action ✨️ It was everything. I also loved the cultural inspiration in Mikayla's books and this was no different. ❤️
This book picks up EXACTLY where book 1 left off and THANK YOU MIKAYLA we all scream. I love it when the next book in a series picks up where it left off. 🙌🏼
What to expect:
-Why choose romance
-Witches, Vampires, Lobos (werewolves)
-Vengeance
-Battle with great action scenes
-Powerful magic at play
