The Ever King by LJ Andrews
4.0
Pretty cool storyline, the writing could be a little more eloquent but maybe that will change in the second book.
Spice is 4/5 and who doesn’t love sexy pirates? I will still read the series but I hope the writing is better because it felt like there were random things thrown in to tie some knots toward the end.

Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures by Merlin Sheldrake
5.0
This book took me a long time to read but it’s as worth it. Sheldrake takes the world of fungi and expands it to be the very central foundation of our entire world, and possibly worlds unknown. The fun and story infused chapters bring forth the different ways fungi have been used, are being used, and could be used, for so many processes. Their structure and evolution is fascinating and really opened my eyes to thinking about transformation differently, how do my plants grow? Why does food break down inevitably ? It’s amazing that we have barely explored this world yet humans have depended on fungi for as long as we can go back in history. I think this is a great read whether you’re into nature and science or not. Totally recommend !
Living Legend by Allie Shante
5.0
So firstly, this story line is awesome! Spice is 4/5 and I love the main characters. You really get pulled into the story by going back and forth between different POVs. It’s enemies to lovers but not in your typical sense which was delightful. I can’t wait the second one. If you’re a fan of the show Supernatural and like that type of world building this is a great book for you. One thing I hope the author fixes in the second book is some of the repetitive text, there were phrases that were overused and I think could be more refined. Looking forward to the next book!
Gild by Raven Kennedy
5.0
Ohhhh I did not expect this to go the way it did but I’m totally into it! This has a decent storyline that leaves a lot of room to build and already has complex emotions and characters. BRB about to read the next one.
Glint by Raven Kennedy
5.0
This series keeps getting better and better with some insane plot twists I would have never thought up. This story is truly one that starts with this broad illusion of what we think is right and wrong and dives deeper and deeper into a more raw and dark story. I love the characters immensely especially our King Rot. Queen Malina is the most annoying person ever and reading her chapters makes me want to strangle her. I’m so curious to see what else will unfold. Definitely recommend!
The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young
5.0
This was such an amazing book! The theme of magical realism, time travel, parallel universes, mystery and romance were so seamlessly integrated into this novel. I grew up in NC so being able to have the visual in my mind of the Blue Ridge mountains made the story even richer. June is a fascinating character and the what if parts of this novel really make you think about how alternate realities could be from your current one. If you like sci fi and magic wrapped in exquisite writing I highly recommend you read this.
Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton
3.0
This is the first time I’ve rated a book a three because normally, I’m on the money for the books I select to check out. But this book was a mashed up mess of a murder mystery, smut, and a “morally grey” MC? If he tells me one more time that he saves the weak and respects them and then goes and stalks and essentially assaults our FMC I am literally gunna scream. Like this is a pretty effed-up book but not even in a good way it was just…hilariously bad. I’m still gunna read the second one maybe there will be some redemption but .. booktok really failed me on this one.
Savage Lands by Stacey Marie Brown
4.0
Oh my god the sexual tension was excellent in here!! And the story line. This isn’t my favorite badass FMC but she’s really earning my respect over here. We have a girl who was raised in privilege being thrown into the lowest of the low and dangerous jails. Will she rise above it stronger or crumble?
Our FMC is so broody that I’d be freaked out if he ever was nice in any of this series. The sexual tension is magnificent, in a way that makes us readers feels like so much has happened yet nothing has and we are yearning for more when the book abruptly ends on a cliffhanger which left me running to read the next book immediately after.
100% read if you line book of azrael, divine rivals, any SJM.
