It's always difficult to read the final book in a beloved series. Not only is there the sadness of saying goodbye to favorite characters, but it's also inevitable that you're going to come into it with so many expectations and so much that you're hoping to see. Still, I allowed myself to fully lean into… Continue reading Book Review // The Hand on the Wall (Truly Devious #3)

Sky in the Deep
I read this book after seeing a l l the buzz and a l l the hype for the past year on bookstagram and I was pleasantly surprised! I don’t think I was super drawn into the book, but I did enjoy seeing things unfold...like a tv show that you don’t necessarily seek out but… Continue reading Sky in the Deep
Fireborne (ARC) (Spoilers)
It took me nearly a month to read this slightly-larger-than-average book, and I think the main reason why is because I almost felt like I was two books at once. Seem confusing? Let’s unpack this... 🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉 MCs: Lee sur (rider of) Pallor Antigone sur (rider of) Aela Atreus ~mysterious Tournament attendee* various side homies Setting:… Continue reading Fireborne (ARC) (Spoilers)
Awk-Weird (ARC) (Spoilers)
Factoid 1: I reviewed this book on Goodreads. Check it out here. Tess is such a lovable character. She is a strong woman who's had a bit of a darkened past that causes her to see everything as "temporary"; friends, happiness, relationships, everything. So when she ends up pregnant (a very not temporary situation), you'd… Continue reading Awk-Weird (ARC) (Spoilers)
Lifestyles of Gods and Monsters (ARC) (Spoilers)
Lifestyles of Gods and Monsters is a modernized retelling of the well-known Greek myth of Theseus vs. the Minotaur. Sure we all know he slays the Minotaur and that Princess Ariadne helps him out......but what if Ariadne didn't want to help? What if the Minotaur had a heart? 🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗 The Good I loved the characters!… Continue reading Lifestyles of Gods and Monsters (ARC) (Spoilers)
Six Goodbyes we Never Said (ARC) (Spoilers)
I DNF’d (did not finish) this book. Usually that’s a bad thing, but not in this case. This book was visceral, so real, so true, I couldn’t continue. *this book features characters who struggle with mental health issues. Please consider yourself before reading this work. I only got about 20% in, and in that small… Continue reading Six Goodbyes we Never Said (ARC) (Spoilers)
American Royals (ARC) (Spoilers)
What if instead of a president, America had a monarchy? And not just a monarchy....the first female ruler? American Royals explores that thought and then some! Below I’ll discuss sass and trash, as well as leave a general spoiler free review. 👑 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 Sass: I love that the whole story was told from (various) female… Continue reading American Royals (ARC) (Spoilers)
Filthy Rich (eARC) (Spoilers)
⚠️ ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ This book deals with mature topics. Proceed with caution. Filthy Rich came to me by way of a blog tour! I nearly didn’t sign up for it but I did at the last minute and I’m glad I did! This book was a cute lil read full of steamy sex and some nice… Continue reading Filthy Rich (eARC) (Spoilers)

Where do I even start with this one?! From the j u m p we are injected into the life and mind of Aidan, a young boy (who is gay!!!) on spring break in New York.

Wicked Fox (ARC) (Spoilers)
You guys, Kat Cho's Wicked Fox come out a few weeks ago and we're gonna talk about it. Be warned, my brain is still processing the marvelous work that this book is so forgive me for the lack of my normal sass-and-trash format. My Goodreads review can be found here.
