Arc review: I love that this book has all the gladiator vibes. The fmc has been through a lot so now she’s a fierce survivor who can take care of herself. The mmc is mysterious but clearly a good guy who wants to protect her but also gives her the space to be her own person.
They are reunited after 6 years apart because of an assignment they are ordered to do. There’s four deadly trials involved and of course those don’t go as planned. Through all of this she learns some surprising truths about her past that will definitely have an impact on her future.
This is a second chance love story but will it be enough? Will they both make it out alive? The ending is gut wrenching and not what you expect! This was well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you MK Deoradhan for letting me read your arc! 5⭐️! Trial of Bronze and Blood releases April 15th! Preorder yours now!

This is the second book in the mindbreaker series and let me just say it left me speechless! The whole book is fabulous but that ending will blow you away! 5⭐️ all the way for me! The world is scary. The magic is unique and diverse. There’s action, adventure, love and heartbreak. It has it all! A Vow of Wrath and Ruin releases April 8th!

This is a crazy book! It’s kind of like watching a tv series so there’s multiple povs. I love how she entertwines the modern day life with the history of how it all began.
They are wealthy and spoiled but at the same time likeable.
There is an air of mystery throughout that keeps you hanging on. It’s definitely a “one more chapter” book! I have some questions I need answered so thankfully season 2 is already available! If you love rich vampires, lots of drama, and the immortal lifestyle check this series out!

Fated to be Monsters is a fabulous read! It has monsters and magic and will keep you on the edge of your seat. The world built and the political system is well thought out and easy to follow. 
The fmc is tough, smart, kindhearted and really grows in this first book. Of course we also have a mmc who is 🔥and very dangerous!
Two opposing teams are hunting a deadly monster. Will they just kill each other or will they learn to work together? Secrets are exposed. Lots of action and danger!

Queen of Betrayal starts right where Queen of Sorrows ends. I couldn’t put this book down and read it in a day! It’s very intense and my anxiety was high throughout the whole book but it’s so worth it I promise. 
The fmc, Deirdre, is so relatable. Her emotions and the decisions she makes, followed by the consequences feel like what it would really be like to experience these things. She’s strong, has a good kind heart and most of us wouldn’t know what to do in her situation.
Kane, the mmc, goes through a lot of emotions and has some big decisions to make too. 
I was mesmerized the whole time and cannot wait to read the next one!

This series has gripped me from the start and book 2 is just as good as the first one! There’s an enemies to lovers trope but also a forbidden romance. It has angst and tension with steamy payoffs that are so worth it! 
The mystery continues to deepen which is totally enthralling. The fmc, Lark, is scrappy, stabby and brave. Sometimes she is a bit reckless but that’s ok because the mmc, Knox, is hot and of course possessive of her.
We learn a little more about Lark’s abilities and what happened to her sister. 
Lark transforms from a shy introvert to someone who is strong and willing to get in the middle of everything to fight for what’s right. She has a connection to animals, an aspect I love about this story, especially the dragons.
I adore the side characters in book 2 and hopefully get to read more of their stories in the next book.
This is captivating and beautifully written! If you love winged characters, magic, enemies to lovers, forbidden romance and dragons then you will enjoy this series! Court of Secrets and Flames releases March 14! Thank you Nina Frost for letting me read your arc!
