I just want Jude and carden to be cute and have fun times and tell each other they hate it. Is that too much to ask?

I absolutely love this book and amazing storylines and the amount of quotes that are highlighted in my book is crazy. Carden's lines, the betrayal, the side characters, everything is just so amazing and thought out. The world building, the character arcs, the everything is *chef kiss*

The Warrior Midwife by E.P. Bali

5.0

It’s a slow start BUT it’s great once you get 15% in. The magic system is so interesting to me - like the how to magic works and what she uses it for and the idea that midwives are held in such a high regard is so fantastic. I love the demon plot line and everything. The fact the fae know nothing about humans also cracks me up. I truly enjoyed this book and am excited to read the rest of the series.
