Only If You're Lucky by Stacy Willingham
4.5
Wow what a ride. Margot was a shell of herself going into college after the loss of her best friend. When she meets Lucy, all of that changes. Nothing is ever quite what it seems. The twists and turns in this story had me on edge. This was so much fun. Thank you for the eARC. 4.5 stars
Wildfire by Hannah Grace
5.0
Russ and Aurora have a steamy one night stand only to come back into each others lives at summer camp where they are camp counselors. There is still an overpowering attraction but their personal lives are keeping them from wanting to pursue a future. Will their attraction win out? This was a great second book in this series that could definitely be read as a stand alone as well. I will for use continue on with the series. 5 stars. Thank you for the eARC.
One For My Enemy by Olivie Blake
3.5
So my first attempt at reading this one failed. I picked it back up and got through it the second time. The story was good, a retelling of Romeo and Juliet, and it kept my attention. If I were to give it one negative it would be that at times it felt like it was made too complicated with the many names for each character and just too much fluff. The story line was good and I did enjoy it. 3.4 stars. Thank you for the eARC.

4.0
This book had a bit of everything I hate about horror movies. That said, I still read the entire thing even though I was scared through at least the first half of the book. Haunted houses, things popping out at you, creepy messages, an attic, murders... you name it. If these things are things you like, then this book is for you. And of course, it had that ending that left me creeped out all over again. Thank you, NetGalley, for the eARC. 4 stars.
What Became of Magic by Paige Crutcher
2.0
As much as I wanted to like this one, I just couldn't get past all the characters and the far too unnecessarily complicated storyline. It had a good idea behind it, but it was just too hard for me to decipher the actual story beyond all the confusion. 2 stars. Thank you, for the eARC.

This book is about broken people coming together to make each other whole again. I am a huge fan of Emily Henry and everything she writes. I loved everything about Daphne and Miles and loved to hate Peter and Petra. And the little town of Waning Bay made me want to up and move to a little town where everyone knows you and knows your coffee order. Thank you for the eARC. 4.5 stars.
