King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo
5.0
I really enjoyed this book and loved being able to read more about Nikolai, Nina, Zoya and the rest of the characters from the previous books. I think Leigh told the story of Nikolai very well and elaborated on things that happened in the previous books perfectly. The book was well written and the storyline flowed very well. The ending blew my mind and I can't wait to read the second book in this duology. Highly recommend if you want to see what happens after Shadow and bone and Six of crows!
White Raven by J.L. Weil
5.0
I absolutely enjoyed reading this book more than I ever expected. I read it in one day and loved every minute of it. Piper and Zane are my favorites and their banter and pipers sarcasm just make the book that much more enjoyable. This book had me sitting on the edge of my seat many times throughout and then ending was very unexpected. I cannot wait to start the second book in this series and find out what happens next between Piper and Zane. The challenges piper has faced have only made her stronger and her strength at the end of the book is astounding. I highly recommend this book if you like romance, fantasy and supernatural beings!
These Bitter Blooms by Emma Hamm
5.0
I absolutely adored this story and could not get enough of Thea and Alistair. The book starts off when they are coming of age to start with their powers. The book follows them as they navigate their lives with their powers and dealing with their families. The second half of the book is set 10 years later as they deal with consequences that happened prior and figure out how to move forward. This book has magic, witches, fae, and romance as well as a happy ending. I read this book pretty much in one sitting and could not have enjoyed it more. It really grabbed my interest. I highly recommend reading this book!
I am so thankful to Emma to have be able to get an ARC of this book and I have reviewed this book voluntarily.

Black Crow by J.L. Weil
5.0
Zane and Piper literally are two of my favorite characters. Their banter and the way they hate to love each other is everything. Piper is now the White Raven and has so much more responsibility and so many more challenges she had to face in this book and it just keeps getting better and better. The reapers are trying to keep the balance but the hallows seem to be everywhere. Piper is finally learning her powers and becoming stronger and stronger in her new role as White Raven. I read this book in one day and thoroughly enjoyed it and am eager to start the last book in this series. The ending of this book was shocking to say the least and I can't wait to see what happens next. Highly recommend this series!
Soul Symmetry by J.L. Weil
5.0
Ugh where do I start. This book was quite the ending to this series and had me on the edge of my seat the entire book. Piper is a badass banshee and Zane is literally the best guy for her. I love them together and how well they work as a team. Piper faces how to fix the hallows issue and how to properly navigate being the queen of all reapers. She really became such a strong woman in this book and faced every struggle head on. I absolutely could not have asked for a better ending for Zane and Piper and this book was amazing. I highly recommend and thoroughly enjoyed this entire series!
Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth
4.0
I was little confused with all the pronunciations in this book but kinda just made up how I thought they should sound. I felt the book was kind of confusing with how the timeline kept going back and forth and how everything was playing out. Other than that I thought the book was good and I enjoyed Cyra and Akos' relationship and how they ended up falling for each other even though they are meant to be enemies. The ending really took me by surprise and I didn't see it coming with what her brother tells her. I recommend this book if you enjoyed Divergent and other series like that one as this one has the same feel as that series does.
Corrupt by Penelope Douglas
5.0
Oh my lord, this book was everything I wanted it to be. I absolutely loved Erika and Michael and their constant back and forth. The guys and their crazy pranks and then everything else Erika went through was just a wild ride. I loved everything about this book and cannot wait to read the next one in the series. The spice was lovely and the ending made my heart so happy. I would check trigger warnings prior to reading as there are some sensitive topics discussed in the book but if those don't bother you then I highly recommend reading this book, Penelope did not disappoint!
Hideaway by Penelope Douglas
5.0
Kai and Banks story is a whirlwind. Banks is the FMC in this book and Kai Mori ends up falling head over heels for her. He just wants her as his and she wants to give in but doesn't want to disappoint her father or brother. Nikova Banks is so strong and has been through so much and she is still ready to dream and to love, Kai can be scary and mean but he is also the sweetest and will do whatever to protect those he loves. Rika, Will, Damon, and Michael pop up in this story too and they all just fit so well together and it really made the book so enjoyable. The closet scene really blew my mind and the ending was a wild one. I really love this series and the spice is fantastic. I cannot wait to read the next book and see where the story goes next. As this book is a dark romance, please read trigger warnings prior to reading!
