Worth. The. Time. Worth. The. Hype.
Honestly, I didn't know where to begin with this book. I had concerns about its length, thinking it might be slow-paced but after the first few chapters, the pace picked up! The plot completely captivated me, and I couldn't put it down.
Violet is bold, compassionate, and stubborn. She is not one to tolerate any shit and confidently defends herself and others. She's also incredibly knowledgeable about history and dragons, making her a refreshing and realistic character. I felt her emotions deeply, almost as if they were my own. Her journey to becoming a Rider is anything but easy, but she grows stronger and smarter with each step.
And Xaden, my man! He's an amazing character who flirts, teaches, supports, and fights alongside Violet without underestimating her. It's hard not to fall in love with him, especially since he treats Violet with respect and care. I can't wait to see more of him in the second book!
The plot could be vividly imaginable. The romance in the story is perfect, and the banter between the characters is top-notch. The found family dynamic is incredible, and all the characters are lovable. The dragons in the story are stunning and dangerous, each with their own personalities. The actions are extremely harsh and frightening.
OMG! That ending!!! It completely shocked me, just like it did to Violet. I couldn't believe what I had just read. I can't wait for November to arrive so I can find out what happens in Iron Flame!

Speechless!!
I don't even have enough words to express how amazing the story was! The best book I've read. I knew that I would love the story and it was unbelievably amazing and mesmerizing. The writing was very unique style, the characters are just perfection, the powers are raw & elemental. There's so many things I loved in the plot, banters, actions, trust, mutual pining, the star crossed Enemies to lovers. Gods, MCs are the best because they are both from Enemy kingdoms and met in the middle of the war between them. Keahi and Sabine are both powerful and equals in every way. They are a force to be reckoned with! I loved how they interacted, flirted, teased, fought especially Keahi. He's the sweetest, caring, kind, gentle MMC I've ever seen and it's hard not to fall in love with him in just reading from his POVs. He's my book husband and my everything. Sabine's both stubborn to a fault and fierce female. It was slowww burn romance with enough tension to somewhat make it up but never enough. Oh my gods, how the last 30% kept in my edge of the seat and I had been biting my nails in both anticipation and anxiety. Just know that my emotions are all over the space in the end but it was a very good cliffhanger, but....I'm super excited to see what more happens with Keahi and Sabine. It was just a beginning...

A quick shifter read!
This was the first time am reading of Elliott and I loved this short novella. A quick supernatural novella including wolf shifter with a powerful witch, actions, ancient dark magic, lies, danger and spicy romance. The story was good and engaging.

Delightful Book!
I absolutely adored "Can't Fix Cupid," a captivating standalone novel by the brilliant billionaire. From start to finish, I was completely enthralled and constantly bursting with laughter.
The story revolves around Trix, a cupid in the afterlife whose sole desire is to spread love in the human world. However, much to her dismay, her powers seem to have an opposite effect. Discovering that she's considered a failure as a cupid, Trix decides to undergo another transformation process and emerges as a unique being—a hybrid of both cupid and human.
Trix embarks on an adventurous journey where she sets her sights on making an incredibly attractive but commitment-phobic CEO named Warren fall head over heels in love. With unwavering determination, she takes it upon herself as a personal mission to ignite his heart with true passion.
The narration of this tale is nothing short of hilarious and utterly adorable. Trix's monologues are effortlessly cool and fun-filled; you simply cannot help but burst into fits of laughter alongside her. She radiates warmth like sunshine while beautifully contrasting against Warren—an enigmatic figure who exudes grumpiness and brooding demeanor that only adds fascination to their dynamic relationship. Although Warren has his reasons for avoiding commitment and wears a rough exterior when dealing with others, he surprisingly reveals himself as gentle-hearted and caring towards Trix during moments when she falls ill not once but twice!
As fate would have it, intense attraction ignites between Warren and Trix; however they engage in playful banter because he believes he cannot commit due to imminent separation caused by circumstances beyond their control. Unfortunately for them both, everything takes an unexpected turn when Trix finally confesses her deep-seated emotions—leading Warren abruptly ends their connection altogether.
In conclusion,this delightful narrative will keep you hooked from beginning till end! You won't be able resist being swept away by the electrifying chemistry and brace yourself for emotional rollercoaster ride that'll leave you breathless!

Is it possible to love book 2 than book 1? Apparently, it is. I devoured this book when it hit my Kindle.
I absolutely loved and enjoyed and laughed this adventures filled sequel! It starts a little right off of book 1 and continued the journey of Nara, Darius and Tibith. Darius shamelessly flirted with Nara, teased her, annoyed her because he loves to do it! The characters growth was incredibly written and my baby Tibith is the sweetest to ever exist. He always brings smile to my face and made me laugh.
Darius and Nara would kill and burn the world for each other!
The actions was amazing! The tension was hot and the slow burn romance finally paid off! The twists and turns left me what the fuck was happening!! Literally, the last chapters left my jaw on the floor. The whirlpool emotions of angst, longing, mutual pining, vulnerable broke me. I cried along with Nara because there was some heart melting and heart breaking moments. I really wish I could say more but it'd be a major spoilers! Soo many things happened and I couldn't help but highlighted everything because those are damn important for book 3.
I soo damn waiting patiently for book 3!

Ilaria, the sole heir to the Midorian throne, was set to marry her childhood best friend when she was abducted by the three Tronovian brothers on the eve of her wedding. As she tries to make sense of her situation, Ilaria discovers that her entire life has been built on a foundation of lies and deceit. She struggles to determine who she can trust, especially as her sworn enemies warn of an impending war lurking in the shadows.
The story was a delightful and easy read, with a vividly imagined world and a unique magic system. Ilaria, a sheltered princess, has spent her entire life behind the walls of the castle, aware of the dangers that lurk outside but unaware that she is already living with danger. After discovering the truth about herself and her situation, she feels conflicted and struggles to make decisions that she believes are right.
The Three brothers, Atlas, Nyx, and Finn, are incredible characters. Atlas may come across as arrogant and cocky to others, but he is fiercely protective of those he cares about and loves. Nyx, the youngest brother, is easy-going and funny, often joking around and flirting with Ilaria. Finn, the middle brother, has a quiet and calm demeanor and is a skilled healer with exceptional intelligence. Together, they make an amazing trio!
The story was a perfect blend of secrets, action, adventure, lies, betrayals, and a slow-burn romance that kept the tension high. I was screaming at Atlas and Ilaria to kiss and make up, only to be interrupted by someone every time they got close. While the cliffhanger ending left me wanting more, I am excited to see what the second book has in store.

The Ever King marked my introduction to the author's work, and I was extremely thrilled and captivated by it! The world-building in this book is truly one of a kind, with a fascinating setting that piqued my interest. The characters' unique powers added an extra layer of intrigue. As this novel is part of the broken kingdoms spin-off series, I am now eager to read the entire series in order to delve deeper into the history and conflicts that occurred there.
Livia and Erik quickly became my favorite couple. They possess both charm and complexity, making them incredibly engaging characters. What really impressed me was how skillfully the plot unfolded throughout the story. There were so many intriguing events that took place, leaving me still trying to fully comprehend everything even after finishing it. The slow-burn romance between Livia and Erik was beautifully portrayed with palpable tension that kept me hooked from start to finish.
Moreover, I must commend how expertly-written this book is when it comes to delivering secrets, suspenseful moments, instances of betrayal, themes of found family dynamics as well as action scenes - all were executed brilliantly in captivating detail.
I am incredibly excited for the release of the Ever Queen next year because it is something I have been eagerly anticipating.

Thank you for the opportunity to read eARC!
Butcher and Blackbird was a highly anticipated book for me, and I absolutely adored it. To be honest, I didn't expect to enjoy the story as much as I did. It was so good that I already want to read it again immediately after finishing!
Rowan Kane is my first book husband of the serial killer romance. Oh my goodness! He's charismatic, sarcastic, and incredibly handsome. I fell head over heels for him from the moment he appeared in chapter 1 – you'll understand why when you read it! Rowan is an exceptional character who also happens to be a badass serial killer. Despite his dark side, he's completely smitten with Sloane and goes out of his way to either annoy her or make her laugh. A man like Rowan is worth everything.
Sloane Sutherland is a fierce serial killer with strength, sexiness, bravery, and courage all wrapped up in one person. She battles anxiety but doesn't hesitate when it comes to eliminating other killers. Her closest companion is her best friend Lark whom she loves deeply and cares about immensely; therefore, trusting Rowan enough to let him past her defenses proves difficult for Sloane. She fears being unlovable and worries that others see her as nothing more than a monster. Slowly but surely, Sloane reveals both her light side and dark side to Rowan – yet he never backs away or rejects any part of her shattered self; instead he embraces every broken piece of who she is as his own!
The narrative unfolded was truly remarkable, particularly due to the gradual development of a romantic relationship between two strangers who eventually become friends and then lovers. They're on a annual competition. Personally, I found every aspect of this plot captivating - from the thrilling action that transpired to even accidental cannibalism which was my favourite scene. Basically I loved everything!!
If you love dirty talking and guy names Rowan, read this bad boy!
