 It's cozy, witchy, and a perfect read for the cozy season. As we know everything is not perfect but a great debut book by the author and I am looking forward to more of her work. In the story, my most fav part is the manipulated history and how cozy this world was.

 Just finished listening to this audiobook and I am in love with this amazing beautiful world. There are dragons, witches, strange beautiful powers, deep world-building, ruthless politics, insult brides 😅 and rebels and clans. This book has everything for everyone. The audiobook was brilliant. There is multi pov. The story is told by the characters. I am invested in all of their stories now. Naili and her strange powers. Tesha with her secret Mission and Ahlsh with his no-nonsense personality. I need the next book now.

 After a long pause, I read a Crime Fiction and it's a breath of fresh air. It was engaging and brilliantly executed. It's 5 star read from me and I highly recommend it for people who are crime fiction fans.

 I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Tears of Revenge is an RH book about vampires and lycans. The storyline is not heavy on the plot, there are no complex details to understand, it's a contemporary vampire RH smutty romance with some dark themes. The story starts out great. I like the FMC, she is a pretty mellow and down-to-earth person who enjoys simple things in life. She survives an abusive relationship and makes a pretty good life for herself before her past catches up with her. It's a 4-star read from me. This book is pure smut and spice.

 On the whole, I liked the book. I was waiting for something tragic to happen at the end. Well, tragedy happens but the scale was low. I was waiting for a full-blown disaster that no character can handle but it was not like that and I think I am okay with it. I will recommend reading this book. It’s a 4-star from me.

 I loved the book. It's a 5 start from me. I will also read the next books and heard they are more creepy. This is the first time I read a somewhat horror fantasy and this is an achievement unlocked for me.

 This book is pretty amazing in terms of world-building, the magic system, the slow burn between main characters, the individual characters, and how they behave. I loved it and I recommend it.
