Sleep Like Death by Kalynn Bayron

The premise of this story is a Snow White retelling which sounded amazing. However I found the overall storyline to be lacking and way too many subplots going on. I struggled to connect with the FMC who often acted very childish and selfish. The lack of chemistry between Eve and Nova made the insta-love not even slightly believable, there was zero chemistry or relationship built up to believe they both “loved” each other. I am left with so many questions after finishing this book.

The first book in this series stole my breath away only for the second to crush my soul. Reading book two has me all in my feels, everything about each character in this series speaks to me and is such a refreshing breath of air from the rest of the fantasy books out there.

If Helen writes it, I will read it. This series took my soul and crushed it in all the good ways. Everything from the banter between the characters, the slowww burn at the beginning of the series, to the found family throughout, I ate up every word.

I loved this story about Dove and Declan! I was kicking my feet up laughing and crying the whole time. Dove is a strong FMC and watching her grow into the path she wants was so much fun.

Thank you Ali K. Mulford for the advance reader copy, all thoughts are my own for this review.

My heart and soul has been ripped out from this book! 💔 The continuation of The Legends of Thezmarr series is full of adventure, love, friendship, *spice* and heartbreak. The entire book had me on the edge of my seat and has me diving into book 3 right away.

If there is one fantasy book you pick up this year, make it Blood & Steel. I devoured this book in a day. The characters, the action, the storyline… the perfect combination. Every second of this book had me on the edge of my seat needing to know what happens next. A truly epic fantasy read!

This was such a fun cozy read that gives you all the feels. This Moonvale Matches novella alternates between Kizzi and Fiella’s povs. I loved getting a glimpse of both of their *steamy* relationships and hilarious friendships. And did I mention dragons! I desperately want my own baby pet dragon 🐉 I can’t wait for the next book in this series! 

Thank you to Hailey Blackwood for an eARC of this cozy and magical read!
