This was a really fun Retelling of Thumbelina combined with Hades and Persephone and was my first retelling of Hades and Persephone. I appreciate the description of each of the original stories at the beginning since I wasn't familiar with Hades and Persephone and the recap for Thumbelina was helpful. I loved all the characters in this story, especially Percy and Hayes. The relationship between them was fun to see develop and I also liked how Hayes interacted with all the other characters. This wasn't my first fairy tale retelling by this author and I look forward to reading more in the future because so far they have all been fun and enjoyable stories.

Hot for the Mountain Man: Men of Fire Mountain by Annee Jones
4.5
This is another fun small town standalone novella from the interconnected series Loving A Mountain Man. I enjoyed getting to know both Grant & Peyton in this story as well as some of the side characters including Rachel and her food stealing cat Sir Buttercup. The epilogue was really sweet and I look forward to reading more stories from this series in the future.

I enjoyed this newest book in the Five Kingdoms series and the chance to get to know Egon better as well as the occasional scene with his brothers Wulf and Lothar. I enjoyed getting to know Lyric in this book and thought her and Egon made a nice couple and was glad with how things worked out for them. While this book can be read as a standalone since they each focus on a new couple but they are better when read as a series since they all connect and have another storyline in the background that continues as the series progresses. I am looking forward to reading Ulric & Jessamin's story in The Orc's Princess Bride.

A Condition Called Love, Volume 8 by Megumi Morino
5.0
This volume is a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting to meet Hananoi's father in this volume. I also liked seeing a bit more of Hotaru's friend and her possible love interest in this volume. I look forward to seeing what happens next in this series.
