And How Does That Make You Feel? by Joshua Fletcher
Not going to rate this book, it feels wrong to rate people‘s real life problems.
This wasn‘t perfect for me but it was really interesting to have a look behind a therapists life and to get so see what they‘re thinking during difficult talks.
I really enjoyed to get to see that they‘re just imperfect humans as well that have their demons to fight against.

This was a ✨wild✨ ride. This book kind of felt like a drama reality tv show??
I feel overwhelmed to have read this masterpiece
How am I supposed to not immediately jump into the next book ( a chunkerrrr)???!!
There was so much tension and such a great slow burn between Diem and Luther, I loved every single second of their interactions. Luther is the definition of "if he wanted to he would".
This is one of the best found families I've read about. All the side characters are just chef's kiss 10/10. Period.
I think the depiction of Diem's grief was done really well and realistic. I loved how all the other characters supported her so much and still gave her the space she needed. Teller saying "Maybe it's time to stop looking for the light and start making it yourself." YES YES YES.
Okay and can we talk about how much we hated Iléana? Can she stfu already? And please, for the love of god, finally leave Henri. I cannot deal with him anymore for not being there for her when she needed him.
Oh and the challenging? Excuse me what the actual fuck? I was speechless. Nothing but love for this book, bye.

I was really excited to read this book since so many people are loving this series and talking a lot about it and I‘m glad to be able to say I did so, too!
I really love Diem as a fmc even though I know that many people dislike her but I like the rage and mostly the female rage that she has in her. I also love Luther and Lily and Teller, I think we get to know a lot of amazing characters.
Their world with the descended is really interesting and I can‘t wait to see where this is going to go. I picked up Glow of the Everflame IMMEDIATELY and lemme just say: it‘s going amazing.
I really dislike Henri tho, he gets more and more annoying and I feel like he doesn‘t really care about Diem that much. He just wants his revenge.

Blood & Steel by Helen Scheuerer
2.5
I'm so disappointed to have to write this bad review :(
I was so excited to get to this series since I'd had heard a lot of great things about The legends of Thezmarr and Helen Scheurer in general.
The thought of "well, nothing really has happened yet" crept in at about 150 pages but I thought you know what, I'll give it some time and I'm sure a big plot point is going to come soon and it's gonna get more exciting than this. At about 70% in we finally got some action that still wasn't huge tho. For me essentially a whole lot of ✨nothing✨ happened in this book.
Wilder didn't feel like he had a lot to him, he felt pretty bland and other than being "hot" he didn't give much personality.
The writing felt so incredibly young to me which was a big problem I had with this book since I expected an adult romantasy (which this is supposed to be) that maybe even contained some darker elements.
I didn't entirely hate my time reading this book, there have been aspects that I enjoyed reading about for example the representation of a strong fmc that doesn't let herself be defeated or reading about the friendships. Other than that tho I feel so disappointed by how much I disliked this book. :(
I'm pretty sure I'm not going to continue this series which is so sad.

Funny Story by Emily Henry
5.0
This was so real, witty, heartwarming, hopeful and romantic.
I loved this so much 😩 the immense summery feelings, Emily Henry‘s writing once again being the literal BEST (the amount of times I laughed out loud hello?), them being actual grown up main characters that are neither toxic nor do they miscommunicate.
This was equally funny and light and deep and thougt-provoking at the same time.
It didn‘t feel perfect but still I feel immense happiness that I got to know Daphne and Miles and their beautiful story, their small town lives and everything that belongs to them.
Oh and Miles? If he wanted to he would. ✍🏼

There wasn‘t a lot happening in this book tbh and still it was really long
I still love the world and the characters but I feel like this book solely focused on Auren finally seeing how bad Midas has been treating her

Weak Side by S.J. Sylvis

I hate so many things about this. I swear to god if ever hear the word puck bunnies or the name Chad ONE MORE TIME in my life I‘ll go crazy.
And you know what‘s the worst thing? I already bought the other books in the series.

The Darkest Gold – Die Verräterin by Raven Kennedy
4.5
Reread January 2025:
I think I‘ll change my rating to 4.5 stars. Not because this was worse than I remembered but because I think there‘s so much potential for the following books and they‘re gonna get even better. I eat up every interaction between Rip and Auren. Also Auren‘s character growth just slayed.
