Vow of Deception by Rina Kent
3.0
This was fun! I will admit, I was very confused from that prologue though, no idea who fell and who got killed but I kind of put that out of my mind. I liked how in the dark the readers were along with Winter but with just those short chapters of Adrian I guessed the plot twist that got revealed at the end. Got to read on now just to find out what the hell the start was about.
What Monstrous Gods by Rosamund Hodge
4.0
RH is one of my favourite authors because her work sticks with me long after I've read them. This book feels slightly different to her others but it was still amazing. The plot was unique and the FMC and MMC were really well written and characterised. Their story together and apart really got to me and I loved the message of this book. Morally grey characters for the win!
Superbia: Shades of Sin by Colette Rhodes
3.0
This was such an enjoyable read, I preferred the first book but I like knowing what happened to her sister in this one.
Walk of Shame by Avery Flynn
2.0
This book started out really well, I was hooked and the characters where really interesting. But after about 70% through, I did start to lose interest as I was expecting a lot more angst with the trio and there was nothing. What made me read this in the first place was the synopsis that seemed to promise some sort of jealously, sneaking around the ex, confrontation... but no, it was all quite boring at the end and nothing really came out of them all working together. Bit of a disappointment.
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
5.0
I read the three musketeers years ago and I remember really enjoying the writing style of Dumas. True I did have the english translation so I wasn't 100% sure if it was the translation or Dumas but after reading this book I am certain it's just Dumas's brilliance. For how long this is (and it is so so long) I never got bored and I loved all the different parts of this story. It was incredible and as I own it on audiobook I can see myself listening again in the future, just as a little treat. Edmond Dante/The Count is so extra I loved him and totally supported his crazy and intricate revenge plan. I was pleasantly surprised when he ended up with Haydeé as I was rooting for her since we were introduced to her.
Two Dances and a Duke: Seduction 1 by Eloisa James
3.0
Nice little 'refresher' book for when I finished a long series. The plot and the characters were enjoyable and I liked that there were two men to choose from at the beginning.
The Prisoner's Throne by Holly Black
4.0
The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is that I came off of reading Wren's POV in the first book to Oaks POV in this book, which I understand why HB wrote it like that, but I still found it jarring as Wren was such an amazing and expressive character. That being said I still really enjoyed this book. Loved seeing the inner workings of the High Court and how Oak was doing all the manipulation behind the scenes. ALSO... the Jude and Cardan snippets were to die for and I hope her next book goes with them to the Undersea!!
Killing Stalking: Deluxe Edition Vol. 6 by Koogi

Because its been hard for me to keep up with the different volumes on here, I'm reading it online, I'll put the synopsis.
Bum and Sangwoo both had a rough night, but things seem to be going well on the drive back home. So well, in fact, that Sangwoo says he has a gift for Bum. Bum is eager to see what the present is, but it’s not long before its arrival turns their moment of peace turns into a bloodbath.
I did not know how this ended! I didn't spoil it for myself and because of that I cried my eyes out for Bum. He accidentally kept his promise to Sangwoo and I am upset about this.

After their trip to the police station and an intimate night together, Sangwoo decides he wants to know more about Bum. Their ensuing conversation leads to a trip to the amusement park and a night of drinking and sex. This new phase of their warped relationship teeters between thrilling and unnerving, leaving Bum overjoyed one moment and panicked the next. Sangwoo is both the man of his dreams-and his nightmares…
And here I thought that this was going to end nicely for both of them, it shouldn't of course, but I was hoping. Yep I can see this going off the rails in the last volume.

Min Jieun's body has been found, and it's all over the news. Officer Yang Seungbae immediately begins to hunt down every lead he can, disregarding the risks of that hunt at every turn. When Oh Sangwoo takes Yoon Bum to his part-time job, the officer makes a bold move. What will happen when he follows Yoon Bum into the bathroom to question him?
Well this was anxiety and chaos from start to finish, I had no idea what they were going to do to get out of that, but yay, they did.
