read for swoon sister's book club: august 2022read for dark romance readathon 2022: serial killer
this first book wasn't really a romance, the characters weren't fleshed out, and while i was interested in the profiling, i wasn't interested in much else
this quickly has shot up to the top of my romance list! mimi grace just has amazing writing and creates such intense chemistry between her characters. i truly ate this book up and i will now be reading everything mimi grace has ever written
this one was honestly my favorite of the 3 brothers but there was a line that was boarderline transphobic that doesn't sit right with me. i liked the age gap and shu was such a sweet murderous baby and i love him for it
Read for the Literally Dead Book Club: February
literally black commentary, lgbtq+ commentary, revenge, and graphic murder? what else could you want
i really liked this one! it does have cheating in it which i wasn't the biggest fan of but i loved that both the characters were bigger-bodied individuals and the infertility rep. ofc the writing was amazing, smut off the charts, and chemistry was fantastic.
i enjoyed greer and derick but i'm not a huge fan of jealous exs and this had two and some parts in the end seemed a little outlandish. it was cute and fun but i've enjoyed some of alexandria house's other work significantly more
read for the tarot readathon 2023: ace of pentacles
black romance + hockey + nanny + amazing characters and chemistry + exploration of hard hitting themes = my literal perfect romance
soooo i thought survivor was bad but that just made me nauseous. this book made me gag in public so thx so much judith
this was such a fun little horror novella but it also had a lot of heart surprisingly which i loved.
read for summerween 2023: a graphic novel, manga, or novella
this was such a fun slasher! i really really enjoyed how this was literally a slasher movie in a book
i loved the writing in this but the reason why the couple wasn't together, was not a fav for me. if you're looking for something short and christmasy, i think this could still be a good one.
actual rating: 4/5 stars
yk i love a second chance romance AND it's a black hockey romance? yeah.
as someone with bipolar i just wasn't a huge fan of the bipolar rep but the experience is different for everybody.
