SPOILER REVIEW
5 ⭐️
“There will be no one else. For either of us.”
“You are my mate, Cassian,”
I could honestly read another 750 pages on Nesta only. I love her character. I love her dark side. The side that others didn’t understand. I think she one of my favourite female characters I’ve read.
I loved Cassian too but for me this story was Nesta’s story.
I am sad I’ve finished. I was so nervous to get to the end. I literally forced myself to read it just now. I wish there was more on Cassian and Nesta as mates their journey to get to mates was amazing but I need more of them as one. To be honest I would just love more of them in any way I can get. They literally gave me all the feels together and separately.
Two amazing characters.
*Them together and that time the house of wind 🔥 🔥 💦 gods he is so yummy lol.
What I loved about this story in this book was it wasn’t just a romance between a man and woman.
This story was a story of love and a story of healing for 3 woman who have been through so much and they found each other.
The friendship between Nest, Gwyn and Emerie🤍
I hope see get more of them.
I loved that the sisters finally became sisters after so much darkness between them.
- I hope Gwen and Az end up together.
- I hope Mor ends up with Eris.
- I hope Elain and Lucien.
One can hope. I pray we don’t have to wait long for the next book.
“Her mate. Her love. Her friend. The light within her chest brightened to a radiant sun.“

A Court of Wings and Ruin.
All the ⭐️ for the incredible story.
This book was phenomenal.
After that awful experience with the second book this book blow the first and the second book out of the water.
I have never read a story with the level of detail and creativity like this book has before. It’s was like a movie. I wish it was a movie. Each stage of the story just blow me away. Loved every bit even the part that were upsetting.
The sisters seeing their father again. That broke me.
Nesta slowly opening up more.
Reading the Weaver, the Carver, and Bryaxis come together. This was amazing.
Suriel last moments.
Tam finally getting some closure in his relationship with Feyre. Him doing the right things.
All of it touched me. I loved every single minute of it all.
All the events that happen got tied up beautifully in this book. I was so scared for the ending, for Feyre ending with Rhys but it’s was perfect. I do now see them as a couple. Did I love the romance between no. But for me the story overpowered the romance in a way for me.
Now I’m going to go read A Court of Frost and Starlight. I’m looking forward to reading the other characters stories now. I need more of them all. I am desperate for Nesta and Cassian book.
Thanks to all the girls in my dms who have answered all my questions and dealt with the stressed out me lol.
And I adore you for putting up with me. Mary has been my Sarah J Mass queen the past few days so thank you.
For quotes ➡️
I honestly had a breakdown picking them lol. This book was full.
“I would like to build a garden”
“After all of this … I think the world needs more gardens.” 🪴💗
This post contains spoilers for A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury.
Book two done.
The ending was so good. I was not expecting that at all. The sisters.!!!
I was so shocked. I feel like the men getting hurting made it all so much real as well lol. If you get what I mean because for so long everything was in their favour. I was waiting but that was not what I thought would happen.
Fryre’s ending, I’m annoyed again. Why does this author make the characters fall in love then part them. Now Rhys has his mate she gone. He better go get her.
I went through all that anger for Feyre to just go back lol. I’m fuming. But I also loved it.
This love story has been a rollercoaster for me.
Acotar was the best read. From beginning to end I fell so deep into this world. I loved all the characters. I LOVED the romance. Then for Tam to become the bad guy didn’t sit right, didn’t feel right. There was so much love. So much chemistry. Even without the s**t you can feel it. For Feyre to then leave and be with Rhys later on in acomaf didn’t sit right with me. I didn’t feel the love. And right now it’s there on the surface but it’s not the same as what was in the first book. The chemistry is missing for me.
I do feel a bit differently towards Rhys character now. After that speech where he tells Feyre everything. I felt for him. I wish I got more of his thoughts. I would definitely feel more towards them as a couple. Maybe in the next book I’ll feel differently. But right now I’m definitely reading for the plot and what’s to come.
I’m super excited for Nesta and Cassian, I know they have book 5. Are Lucien and Elain getting book? And what about Azriel? Mor? It’s there more coming???
Tell me everything..
🩶
My next read..
literally starting right now.
I have wanted to read this Sarah J. Mass book for so long. With the third book coming out I thought I would start here.
Is this a good place to start?
Have you read it?
Just ticking off my tbr list.
Crooked Sinners series has been on my tbr for two years. I’ve literally just finished it. I’m kicking myself that I didn’t read it sooner.
I have been wrapped up in this world for the last week and I have just finished book 4 (sad times)
Overall for the series 5 ⭐️
It’s was addictive from the first page all the way to the last page of the last book.
I highly recommend it.
Book 1 - Riot House
Book 2 - Riot Rules
Book 3 - Riot Act
Book - 4 Riot Reunion (all available on ku)
The series is based on 3 young lads/men, Wren, Dash and Pax. Who are at a boarding called Wolf Hall. It’s not regular boarding school it’s the teenagers who comes from rich, military backgrounds.
It’s a dark academia romance series. Each book has a lot of mystery in them. I think that’s was what me hooked. There’s a missing girl, there’s British Lord, a girl who has a dark past. Full of secrets and twists.
Each book is brilliant. I absolutely loved this series.
Book 1 - spice high.!
Wren is a character that I love to read. He doesn’t connect with people, he’s in a level of no f**ks, but not in a bad way it’s just the way he is. He meets Elodie, literally falls for her while she has no clue really.
Book 2 - spice high. Tension high.
This one is enemies to lovers. Lovers to enemies. Dash is a British Lord soon to be Duke. Him and Carrie start a relationship and get torn apart, because of the boys pack with each other and because of Carries family.
Book 3 - omg the spice.
PAX maybe my favourite… maybe because I just finished his book.
He is one angry boy. Always looking for a fight bless him.
Presley is a very shy girl who has loved Pax from a distance for a long time. Then one day she isn’t this shy girl anymore. She changes overnight. For reasons. And she decided she not scared of Pax anymore. He has no clue what do with this girl. Loved him so much. I love all the characters in this series. This is definitely a new favourite.
If you haven’t meet the Wolf Hall boys add them to your TBR. 🤍
Here’s so quotes. I had so many. They don’t do the books justice.
“Nothing catches my attention more than a walking red flag.”

The Wolf and the Rabbit.
Primal Pursuit By
Dark Romance
(set in the dark sovereign world)
Can be read as a standalone.
Holy smokes 💨 🔥
What a read. Bella has done it again. This woman is the queen of s**t and the most intense storylines.
This one is on another level compared to her other books and that’s saying something. Because her other books are super hot as well but this one she went further with it. This book is full of the kinkiest spice ever. It’s intoxicating from beginning to end. The spice.!! Wow.
The plot is just 10 out of 10.!! Loved it.
It’s just so dark and delicious.
Davian is the assassin from Poppy’s childhood and she spent years trying to find him.
She has trained most of her life for this moment. Davian been a ghost for years and the place she finds him at is the one and only Club Myth (one of my favourite places ever, if you read the Dark Sovereign books you will know why).
Their story is full of twists and turns and I couldn’t put it down.
This is one of the best ENEMIES to lovers I’ve read.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
I would recommend reading the list of triggers before.
I have to mention Tobias the naughty priest ⛪️ 📿
You meet him in this book and omg I died reading some of his part in this story. I’m so excited for his book.!! SACRED SINNER releasing in June.
Anyway. Save this post and remember it’s releasing TOMORROW.!

What Lies Between Us by .author
“There is just one lesson I have learned from the life we share. And it is this, everything that is wrong with me is wrong with you too. We are one and the same. When I die, your flame will also extinguish.”
Omg I feel traumatised and so sad after finishing this dark, twisted, addictive story.
This story is terrifying, the more you read the more you become stressed, and more fear you feel.
It’s so intense.
This story is set past and present. It’s a story about mother and daughter, who have a very difficult relationship that turns twisted and very sad.
I connect so much because this story is set where I live and it made it feel more real. Obviously this isn’t real but it felt it. I felt everything while reading this book. I kept thinking Maggie was the worst human being and then I thought Nina was. By the end I was just left thinking what the hell did I just listen to.
The twists and turns had me left shocked, there were parts I found very uncomfortable to listen to. I think listening to this story made the experience more real and more stressful.
I love every minute of it.! This is the type of book you think why am reading this but you don’t stop because it’s that good.
5 ⭐️ for this story.
I can’t wait to read more by John Marrs.
I highly recommend reading or listening to this book.
Blurb - Nina can never forgive Maggie for what she did. And she can never let her leave.
They say every house has its secrets, and the house that Maggie and Nina have shared for so long is no different. Except that these secrets are not buried in the past.
Every other night, Maggie and Nina have dinner together. When they are finished, Nina helps Maggie back to her room in the attic, and into the heavy chain that keeps her there. Because Maggie has done things to Nina that can’t ever be forgiven, and now she is paying the price.
But there are many things about the past that Nina doesn’t know, and Maggie is going to keep it that way—even if it kills her.
Because in this house, the truth is more dangerous than lies.
🔉 ➡️➡️➡️ 🤣 last one.

Book Review.
Mafia Virgin.
Hands down Mila best book yet.!
I devoured this book. I could not stop reading. And now I’ve finished I wish I had more of them.
This mafia romance is now one of my favourites. This will be a book I’ll reread again and again in the future.
It’s so that good.
I laughed so so much. I can’t believe how brilliant Emma was. For a young inexperienced woman she was driven, fierce, and so smart. Love her.
AND
Giacomo was amazing to read.
He is swoon worthy.
This man omg… see quotes. He is man obsessed.
I died. He is one of the hottest men.!
Them together is fire.!!! the banter, the emotional side. Loved it, loved them. 🫶
Emma is the youngest sister of the Mancini family. She is a the good child, studying to be a doctor while looking after her ill father.
She is forced to marry Giacomo. He is a man who has his own struggles and secrets. And he is forced to marry Emma. Both of them have things to loose. They decide to make a go of things and do what they are told….
Okay so the main part of this book… it’s in the title. Virgin.
Yes Emma is a virgin and it plays a bit part in this book. When I first saw this title I was like what the hell lol. I won’t lie I honestly thought really…. I’m too old to read this lol.
Now I’ve read it I understand. And I loved it, it’s written so wells.
If you haven’t read this yet please go and read. It can be read as a standalone in my opinion.
