The Soul Thief is the action packed sequel to The Assassin Thief. It’s filled with revelations, healing and surprise physical appearances of certain entities that leave us with even more questions.
In this book, we see a completely different side of Telli. You experience her humanity. She may be the Fearsome Siren Queen’s Assassin but that is not all she is.
I really enjoyed seeing a softer side to her and I think Paxium is a huge reason for that.
Speaking of Paxium; I love him and I totally approve of him for my bad ass, assassin bestie. The banter/ arguments between these two is highly entertaining and relatable. I also live the unconditional support he gave to our Telli, I feel like she hasn’t had that since Trigg.
This book is a giant Journey and not just for Telli but for all the characters in the story.
Maddy has done a fantastic job with her characters, each one is well developed and they have a depth to them that all readers want. The writing is amazing as always and flows easily, you don’t get lost with everything that is going on in the story.
A massive thank you to Maddy and New Dawn for gifting me a physical ARC. I was so excited when it arrived at my door.
I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.
Ps, I so think she should have went full bad ass assassin on that council. Bunch of cowards that need to be dethroned and I pray to Maddy that she makes that happen.

“This girl had the power to light up a stadium. More important, she had lit up my soul.” - Brax.
What happens on tour takes you on a journey filled with love, friendship, family and music. It really has it all.
Charlie and Brax first meet in the waiting lounge of AusHop Studios. They are both there for different meetings that will change the course of their lives forever and a friendship that would only get deeper and stronger with time.
“We became like Batman and Robin from that day on.” - Charlie.
Brax and Charlie are entertaining to say the least. He’s protective, super caring and is all about her. She’s strong, fun, cautious and is fighting with every breath to claim her independence. These two have angst, sexual tension and a whole lot of banter.
Throw in the rest of the crew and it is chaos on a bus. Chester is just cray cray for days but you can’t help but love the damn monkey. Shane, Mark and Liam are little more sane but still got that banter that we all like to dish out. Even Marcus who is there manager got in on the fun when he wasn’t playing dad to the band.
What happens on Tour is written for the reader to experience a day in the life of touring Australia with a band. It feels like you are on the bus with them, stopping over in hotels and at the concerts. It’s very different compared to other rockstar romances.
Now let’s talk about the research that went into this book. Just wow! You can tell that the author really immersed herself in the music world and learned notes, strings and everything that goes into being a musician. Nothing is glossed over. She knew her shit.
This book is full of Aussie banter and its so nice to see Australia play such a giant part in a book. I loved visiting each stop on the tour.
I’m excited to read International Tour: Part 2

Lor and Nadir are gonna be the death of me!
This book is the second one in this series and as they say, it gets better and better.
This book was written a lot better than the first one and more consistent with its flow. The characters are more developed and the plot is everything. I really enjoy the adventure it takes me on.
There is so much sexual tension between these two characters, it’s insane and the fact that her power responded to him made me be like ‘just fuck and activate that power’. Lol
I really liked the flashbacks to the past too and they were written really well and the importance of them cannot be missed.
I loved reading this and I can’t wait for the next one, especially after that ending!
Thank you so much to @thenerdfam and Nisha J. Tuli for providing me with a copy of the first book and an arc of the second.
4 stars.

This book!
It gripped me from the very first page and held me captive in a chokehold till the very end.
The world building in this book is everything. You can picture yourself in the middle of the events occurring, what the night sky looks like with ribbons shining bright, the crystal blue water with the warm sun enticing you to dip your toes in. It’s just amazing!
Lor, I loved her. I loved her determination and strength, her ability to still show kindness to the ones that have showed her anything but. Her courage and ability to survive is truly beautiful and her journey has only just begun. The only thing I didn’t like is how she didn’t find Atlas a bit… too nice.
Atlas, I’m not a fan. He gave me the wiggins after the first proper meeting. He was too kind and too adoring if that’s possible. It made is a suspect in my world, I didn’t trust him. Then with the trials, it’s just barbaric but great stuff for story telling.
I enjoyed meeting Nadir, the Aurora Prince. I have a good feeling about him.
This is my first book by Nisha J Tuli and I can say, I’m a fan. I’ll definitely be reading her other books. I can’t wait to see what happens in The Rule Of The Aurora King.
4.5 Stars, only because Lor should have kicked Atlas in the balls at the masquerade after he grabbed her. I wish she had really seen the signs of his true self earlier and wasn’t so smitten with him.

I devoured this book in one sitting.
This is such an easy read and NOTHING like most of the mafia books out there. It’s brilliant.
I absolutely love Sloane and her little ‘I got this’ speeches to herself. She’s so calm most of time but I lived for her sassiness. I also loved her ‘Mafia Princess’ moment at the end.
Grayson was so much fun. I loved his growly, possessive obsessive moments and his internal battle of loyalty and duty. I also really enjoyed the way he accepted Sloane and all her sassy. He didn’t want to break her or make her less than the woman she is.
Kelly Ash really wow’d me with Warlord. Her world, words and characters are perfect. It all flows together and easy to read. I mean you don’t even realise how far you’ve gotten into the book until the end and then you just want more. It’s so good!
I am super excited to read The Reaper and see what’s next for the Mac Tire Clan.
I am also hoping that Cian Doyle and Ahmad Hassan get their own book. I’m super intrigue with their story.
Ps. I’m not a fan of Finnan. There I said it.

Glow by Raven Kennedy
I don’t even know what to say other than WHAT THE HECK!!
I love this series and I’ve literally just binged it over the last month. I loved and breathed it. It’s everything.
Auren’s journey is definitely not for the faint of heart, she’s really been through it and just went you think she finally found her happy and her balance, she get f*caked over again. She has the worst luck and these monarchs need a serious gold pipe up their arses.
Rip is really out through it this time too. His whole life, kingdom and his love are being threatened. He has to make difficult decisions to protect Auren as well as his people.
I am so invested in this series, I need Gold like now and I need to know how it ends for Auren and Rip because they are end game.
Also what is that cliffhanger??? Like what the heck. I’m speechless over it.
Anyway, highly recommend.
