A beautiful cozy tale filled with mystery, tea, and finding ones own place in the world. what is a young minotaur supposed to do, when he's never felt at home in his clan? when his differences make it impossible for him to fit in? well, you run away to adventure of course. Following a curious path, Mahkai finds his way into a new way of life, and a new home, but not is as peaceful as it seams, as there is growing threats in the world that inflict themselves onto his home. worst of all, his father can't seam to stop interfering in the things that make Mahkai happy.
this is a charming tale that makes you feel all warm and cozy while you read it. there are mysteries to untangle as you read, but not all answers can be found. what Mahkai doesn't know, you don't know either, but that only lends to the charm of the tale. Filled with a colorful cast of characters you can't help but to love, this is absolutely a must read if your a fan of books like Legends and Lattes, The House Witch, or Can't Spell Treason without Tea!

This is an amazing book filled with supreme spice, amazing worldbuilding, fantastic characters and character growth, and a fantastic plot all wrapped up in a delightful writing pace that leaves a person aching for more at the end. A beautifully written story about how truth can set you free, love can win in the end, and how societal expectations aren’t necessarily morally correct.
Wisteria is a girl like no other. She’s logical to a literal fault, and shows no emotion. This makes her life quite difficult until she meets Lord Nikola, a young man in love with his peer, lord Justin. Which they must hide for such a thing isn’t exactly legal. These three spiral closer and closer, until a wedding proposal threatens to tear them apart. Can they have their happy ever after, or will the Blessing of love, just not be enough

Fairy Tale, reality? who can say when you read "The Lost Story". This is a tale about found family, and about finding the family you lost. it's about reconnecting, overcoming your past, finding love worth loosing, and losing love worth having, and reclaiming both. it's about touching the lives of others, and knowing even when you've forgotten. This is a story about two boys in love, a two sisters searching for each other, and all of them coming together to find happiness. but happiness cannot always last, sometimes, you have to give up something, to gain what's truly important.
Jeremy can find anything, anyone, even. he's made a living of it, finding lost girls in the woods, kidnapped girls, missing girls... so when Emelie asks him to help her find her sister who went missing over twenty years ago, he's more than happy to try... except she needs him to go to Red Crow, the last place he's ever wanted to go back to. in order to get there, he has to convince his best friend to go with him. a friend who he hasn't spoken to in over fifteen years, all the while hiding a past that is nearly impossible to believe.

This is a story about love... and also death. and undeath. and beating things with umbrellas. a surprisingly cozy, brilliantly hilarious, story about love, overcoming eldritch horrors, and finding the strength within yourself, this book had me laughing, it had me gasping, and it had me at the edge of my seat from start to finish. with a cast of characters so lively (pun not intended) that I thought they might leap out of the pages, this is easily my favorite romance I've read so far.
Meet Sebastian. he's dead, sort of. as a Lich, he can't really die. he's only a little obsessed with the beautiful elf who sneaks into his gardens to read books to the dead buried in his cemetery but has never approached her. not until the day comes when she's assaulted on his property. well, call him possessive, but no one hurts HIS Dahlia.
Meet Dahlia, an elf who cannot cast magic, hounded by her evil stepfather, abandoned by her friends, and grieving after her mothers death, she lets herself into the grounds around the abandoned manor for peace and quiet when her stepfathers demands grow to be too much. one day, she's attacked by one of her evil stepfathers minions, who tries to either marry her, or kill her. and since she's not having anything to do with marriage well, lets just say she's very surprised when she wakes up.
With other amazing characters like Agatha, a specter who was once a Banshee. Kevin, a zombie with a trowel for brains. Smith, a slenderman and also a lawyer, Austin, a Frankenstein abomination raised from the dead, and more, you'll never grow bored with their unique and frankly, hilarious interactions.
Be sure to read the content warnings and don't read if your not okay with tentacles, dead things, and a touch of body horror. (okay maybe more than a touch)
