Til Death Do Us Part by Meagan Spaid
2.0
Before I begin I want to thank the author Meagan Spaid, for giving me this ARC.
This was just meh. I didn't outright hate it but I didn't really enjoy it either. This is just not love or like this is just straight up lust. It felt very disconnected and I had a hard time with connecting with the characters. I also felt like there wasn't really a clear storyline.
Overall I didn't like this. It had the potential to be great but it didn't fulfill it.

Blood of Bellevue Manor by C.M. Kennedy
4.0
Before I begin I want to thank the author, C. M. Kennedy, for giving me this ARC.
I absolutely loved this. I really liked the storyline and the characters. I adore how the characters are written.
I just feel like it misses that wow. It like I read half the story, it just felt incomplete. I know this is a ongoing story so I know this is not a major issue but I do think it could've had more.
Overall I really liked this and I'll definitely read the next book!

Heart of the Villain by Dany Crooks
4.5
Before I begin I want to thank the author, Dany Crooks, for giving me this ARC.
This is the most valid crash out. She had every right to become the villain. I really liked the buildup of the story and the development of the characters. I did not read the previous book but I could follow along with the story.
Overall I really liked this and I'll definitely read the previous book.

A Reverie of Roses by Thea Hawthorne

Before I begin I want to thank the author, Thea Hawthorne, for giving me this ARC.
I'm obsessed. I really love the way this author writes her stories. Earlier this year I read The Muse of Missing Pieces and I was immediately hooked and wanted to read more from this author. When I started this one I was afraid that it couldn't compare to the previous book but I was wrong. It perfectly captured the cozyness and the pining. I absolutely adore the way the author wrote all the characters and all their traits.
Overall I really liked this and the way it was written I'll definitely read the next thing from this author.

A Feast of Putrid Delights by Valentina Rojas
4.0
Before I begin I want to thank the author, Valentina Rojas, and ghoulishbookstore for giving me this ARC.
This was so disturbing, but I really liked it. I was sucked into the story and its universe. I felt so disgusted, and it felt like there was something under my skin itching to get out; that was how it felt reading this. I really made the mistake of reading the last third of this while I was eating. I still feel the food in my throat. It feels like it's stuck there, and even though I drank some water, the feeling doesn't leave.
Overall this is amazing but you really should look up the content warning before you start reading this. I definitely want to read more!

Stick With Me by Nikki Callan
3.0
Before I begin I want to thank the author, Nikki Callan, for giving me this ARC.
It was okay don't get me wrong. It just feels like this has been done before. There's nothing new about this. I was entertained and I liked the characters (especially Dominic). Everything just felt a bit flat. Obviously the romance was the main plot but there wasn't even a sub plot.
I know all of this sound pretty harsh but I'm just trying to be honest.
Overall this book has its positives and its negatives but I would recommend it to you if you like the hockey romance trope.

Bent Right to Your Wind by Esther Valors
3.75
Before I begin I want to thank the author, Esther Valors, for giving me this ARC.
I really enjoyed reading this. I didn't expect the alternating POVs but I loved it. This was an emotional rollercoaster, that's for sure. One moment you're thinking "awww they're so sweet and everything will be okay" and the next moment you're slapped in the face with the most heartbreaking flashback. I don't believe that every flashback/chapter was necessary for the story. Sometimes it felt like certain things were just fillers.
Two quick side notes: How many Willow children are there?!? One moment they're with six and then later there 3 more. Also did anyone noticed the small T.S. Easter egg? It's so cute! In the song "Willow" by Taylor Swift there is a line that goes "Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind" and the last name of the family is Willow!!
Overall I really liked this book and I'll definitely read more of this author.

The Spotlight Effect : Book 1 of the MorningStar Series by Lillier Eros
4.0
Before I begin I want to thank the author, Lillier Eros, for giving me this ARC.
I really liked this. It had the perfect vibes, and please don't get me wrong, of a Wattpad story. In the beginning, I was really confused about what was going on because it was kind of all over the place. But I did enjoy how the story progressed and how the dynamics between the characters were.
Quick side note, if you liked reading this, you definitely should read The Idol Effect by M.C. Sakala; it has similar vibes.
Overall, I really liked this, and I'll definitely read more of this author because I'm obsessed

It's Always Been You by Samantha Brinn
2.0
Before I begin I want to thank the author, Samantha Brinn, for giving me this ARC.
I did not like this. I really tried, but I just didn't enjoy it. For the record, I didn't DNF; I kept reading even though I wanted to quit. So, I can say I actually tried to like this. It's just that this was not love this was just lust. The characters were just flat and monotonous. The only reason why I gave this 2 ⭐ is because I can see that the author put a lot of time and effort into this

Yours Unexpectedly by S.C. Jain
3.0
Before I begin I want to thank the author, S. C. Jain, for giving me this ARC.
I liked reading this; don't get me wrong, I just think it needed some more time. I liked the characters and the dynamics. This all felt a bit flat. It didn't really have a plot. Well, yes, there were some moments that there was a quote-unquote plot, but then after a few chapters, it was forgotten.
I know all of this sound pretty harsh but I'm just trying to be honest.
Overall I liked this but I also think it needed some more time to develop.
