This was a great dystopian romantasy book. This was such an immersive read that immediately had me rooting for the characters. I didn’t want to put this book down as I followed Raven and her newfound allies as they tried to escape Endlock prison. I can’t wait for the next book in this series to come out, I need to know what happens to the characters next!

This was such a unique read! This book was well written and immersive and I’ve never read a book quite like it. The Once And Future Me had an intriguing concept. This book blended psychological thriller and dystopian science fiction very well. As interesting as this book was, I’m not sure that this story was for me.

This was a cute holiday romance book. I enjoyed following Cass and Charlie as they swapped lives for a week. I liked the cast of characters and the overall storyline of this book. This was a great feel-good read perfect for the Christmas season. 

This was such a cute Christmas novella! I loved following Belle and Nick in this sweet holiday romance. This book had me smiling from start to finish and I loved the secret identity element of the story. This is the perfect quick read for the holiday season and I look forward to reading more in this series.

This was a good Cinderella retelling. I enjoyed seeing Prince Charming’s point of view to the story that I know and love. This book had some unique twists, some of which I’m unsure how I feel about primarily because memory loss is not something that I like to read about. However, this book was very well written and I liked how the story all came together in the end.

This was a great sports romance that was hard to put down. I loved following Ryah and Xavier in this book and having both their POVs. I loved how Xavier was immediately protective of her. I loved the cast of characters, the romance, and the suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one and recommend checking it out. Heads up that this book does have content warnings.

mysterious slow-paced

This was a good mystery/thriller. I loved this book’s atmospheric island setting. This was a slow burn mystery told through three different points of view. I liked the multiple POVs, but I didn’t necessarily care for any of the characters. I was intrigued by the overall mystery in this book, but I found it a bit predictable at times. Overall I liked this one but I didn’t love it. If you are looking for a mystery with summer vibes you may want to give this one a try. 
medium-paced

This was a good summer romance book. I loved the atmospheric Ireland setting in this one and it made me want to visit Ireland. I wasn’t a huge fan of Chelsea as a main character, however I did like the banter between her and Collin. I enjoyed following the characters on their trips around Ireland and seeing them get to know each other. Overall this was a cute romance read.

This was a fun middle grade graphic novel! I loved how this book blended a murder mystery with science fiction as it took place on a moon base. I enjoyed following Dashiell in this story as he worked to uncover the truth about what happened. I also liked the art style and color palette of the illustrations. Overall this was a great, quick read.
