This was a great romantasy read! I really enjoyed the storyline of this book as it followed Willow after she dies and finds herself in Asphodel. I liked the concept of how she had to face seven deadly sins trials in order to return to her life. I liked both Willowโs character as well as Sathโs and enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed. This book did have some spice so I would consider it to be more new adult rather than young adult, but I did thoroughly enjoy reading this one.

This was such a cute, cozy fall romance! I loved the small town setting and the cast of characters in this book. This romance read is perfect for the fall season and had me wanting to go to the apple orchard for cider and donuts. I enjoyed following Ellie and Aiden in this story and all their interactions. This book had me smiling from start to finish and I canโt recommend it enough.

This was a great enemies to lovers fantasy! I loved the storyline and the magical world that the author created. I really liked this bookโs cast of characters as well as the unique magic system. This was a book that I was constantly thinking about whenever I wasnโt reading it and I couldnโt wait to see what was going to happen next. This book was quite long, but I didnโt mind because the story had me completely captivated. I canโt wait to see how the story continues in the next book, especially after how this one ended.

This was a good young adult fantasy read. I liked the southern gothic atmospheric vibes and the intriguing storyline. This book was very well written, but the pacing was quite slow. Overall this was a good witchy read with cozy vibes.

This was a cute time travel romance. This one was a bit outside of my comfort zone as it primarily takes place in the Regency Era, but I quickly found myself invested in the characters and sucked into the story. I enjoyed following Tess and Hugh as they found themselves in the past and tried to blend in to the time period. I also liked how you donโt have to be familiar with Jane Austenโs works in order to enjoy this book. The Austen Affair had a few moments that had me laughing and smiling and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this one.

Iโm not sure how I feel about this one. I loved the overall concept of this book and this book immediately had me intrigued, but unfortunately it struggled to hold my interest. I appreciated how this book was told through a dual timeline as well as screenplay scenes, but at times it felt unnecessary to the story. I didnโt particularly like any of the characters in this book which made it hard for me to feel invested in the storyline. This book did have some good moments, but not enough to make it a memorable read.
