Another 4.5 that's a 5, and omg I can't wait to see how Death's book will go. It looks so promising.
I don't have words for a review. I just read it for the second time and even if the world building was equally confusing or even more than it was the first time, I hella loved this book.
So yeah. It gets 5* from me.
...
3rd time reading it... still 5⭐.
I have no words. Fable's story was moving and a rollercoster of emotions all along the book.
I really loved how the love story happend to be. No rushing, not a sugar coted one either. While reading you can pin point those scenes. Those where you are like, yes it is happening.
Ugh, I don't know how to explain it, but this book is definitely on my top reads of this year, and I can't wait for part two!
I will keep giving this comic 5* throughout all the volumes cause it just has my heart in a tight grip.
It's 3.5 stars (please Goodreads let me add halves😭) for me.
I really enjoyed the story, it felt quite like a 2016 Wattpad story, although much better written. But it brought me back to those times where I didn't care as much about an amazing book as I wanted to get absorbed by the story.
I gotta say this kind of light reads always get me out of reading slumps, which was where I'd been when I started reading it. And now I'm hooked and will keep reading the rest of this series 😂
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
*FOR REAL, STOP READING, THERE'S SPOILERS AHEAD*
I swear, in the last 40 pages, Scarlett, did you really have to pull a After? (Bear in mind I don't know which story got out first, but damn) Everything was good and smooth until the "we fell in love because of a bet" trope made an appearance 😭 I think that and Hades always waking Sephy up to get sex without even letting her fully awaken, like dude... I don't know it's one of the things that made me cringe each time🤷🏼♀️
It's a 4.5 but I'm gonna give it a 5 because that 0.5 left is just me not getting that "this-is-the-one" feeling but it also doesn't have anything wrong with it.
I cried a lot with this book, don't even ask me why. It's just all the situations that Sara goes through, they got me.
I don't even think I was expecting any of the stuff I read, and it was better than what I could've expected.

I didn't want to give it 5*, it was 4.5* rounded to 4* until page 740.
I got this book so spoiled, SO SPOILED, I hated looking at it, I dreaded finishing it, I just couldn't.
Throne of Glass is my favorite saga of Sarah but Crescent City made it's way to my Top 5 with book one, and I was so excited for book two that when I got spoiled all that was going to happen, I just raged.
So I'm here to tell you that those 60 pages I had left, were worth it. Worth it because a hope I had been harbouring after I read ToG has become a reality, and I just sobbed my way through that part 🤷🏼♀️
I also kind of expected more about the book...? It felt like reading AKOFAF in some way, though not as badly because at least this time I kind of remember what has happened before the apocalyptic finale. But yeah, it's felt like all the good things were reserved for those last 60 pages.
Dont mind my rant here, I might change the ranking on this book when I reread it come CC3. But regardless, it's a good book that I really enjoyed and I'd really recommend you reading if you love Sarah's work ☺️
I am devastated. I can't event bring myself to write a review.
Blessed Monsters will be the end of me. Oh gods. *crying intensifies*
It's so hard to describe the range of emotions this book has made me go through. Peter Pan is one of those stories that has been with me since I was little, and having it retold in new books just makes it even more special.
The journey Wendy goes through in this book is so heart wrenching, and at the same time healing, it was so beautiful to see.
Even though at certain points it felt like the characters weren't doing enough to further develop the plot, those moments also showed that not everything has to be serious in the face of problems and that losing a couple of hours to some ice cream might make a diference later ;)
I highly recommend this book to whoever feels it calling to them. But also, side note, might be wise to keep a tissue box near by :')
I am devastated. I don't even think I'll be able to pick up Ruthless Gods before having processed the last three chapters of this book and it's epilogue.
I've never felt so betrayed by a character as I've been by Malachiasz. I kinda want to think I felt like Nadya when reading those last chapters.
It was like I saw it coming, but I also didn't want to believe it, CAUSE I HAD FAITH. I had faith in him and now here we are. I'd be crying, but I much rather scream at the book to let that fristration out.
That's it. I have nothing left to say. I just need to get rid of the book hangover this is giving me to pick up Ruthless Gods.
It's over. And this will be the shittiest review ever. But I've never cried this much with a book. I actually never cry because of books. So here you go. I spent 10 minutes crying just because of the last line in the acknowledgements.
So yeah. This saga was amazing and a pleasure to read and get to know its characters. I don't regret it at all.

My soul is destroyed.
If you could only see see the amount of markers I placed down 🥲 If you asked me now, 50% of those pages should be all considered works of art all on their own.
I don't think I can choose a favorite quote or moment because each of them feel so special in the grand scheme of the story... I mean, thats the point of the book, isn't it? Every moment is special on it's own and it deserves to be remembered ❤️
What surprised me is that the story itself doesn't really move forward that much, it feels like it takes place in such little time, but all those memories make it feel like you are moving backwards while still slowly crawling forward.
I have to say I was lost almost all the way till the end, because you don't get much explanation on to how all the magic happens and I am a need-to-know kind of person. But that didn't take any of the magic out of the story.
If you like sad books with happy endings, romances that happen to be fiction, and quotes that make you reconsider your way of living? This is your book 🍒
PS: Please do tell me where I can find a Saul, because I need someone like him in my life, thank you.
This book felt like going into Wonderland, but Alice has a sister and she is kidnapped by a crazier and apparently murderous version of the Mad Hatter... until the last 5 chapters (aprox).
If there's one thing I liked about this book it's how it kept me guessing. I love trying to figure out whats gonna happen next in books and when one breaks every single of my theories just to plant another seed of doubt, it has my fully undivided attention.
I guess that's what fist person POVs do, right? You just get one single perspective into a much more complicated setting and that just messes up with were your thoughts go (that's why I prefer multiple POVs).
But anyway, it was definitely a fun read and the epilogue left me wondering what will happen between the next two main characters. So count me in to keep on reading this series!
This was a 3.5⭐ for me.
I did a lot of thinking while reading this book. Obviously read the warnings before going into it, but those topics made me question a loooot of things.
Which is good. When a book makes you question things, it's a good book.
I'm usually a dark romance gal that reads about topics that are usually quite far away from my life, you know? Murder is not near my vecinity fortunately, so I can read about that without remorse. But rape is something that as a girl is quite a touchy subject. So that's where I became uncomfortable, but a curious kind of uncomfortable.
But hey, it's a dark romance, right? So I kept reading!
While the story definitely trapped me and I wanted to know more about the revenge that was going on, the writing sometimes felt repetitive. Which for me that can be one of the reasons I start detaching from a book.
And I'll be honest. It has taken me 3 weeks to finish this book, which is far more than it usually takes me. But not gonna lie... the spice was goood, and it's what kept me hooked.
So all in all, would I recommend this book?
If you're up for a mind wreacking journey with the hottest and spiciest smut? Go ahead and don't let this review stop you!
I really thought about wheather I was gonna give it one or two stars...
I was not worth it, but it got me out of my reading block.
Still, the plot was good but the writing and world building and hierarchies... it was a fat nope.
Do not let this stop you from reading the book tho, you never know what you're gonna find yourself liking.
I don't know whether to give it a 5* or 4*.
Cause in one hand I really enjoyed the banter and loved the characters.
On the other Caleb was such a man written by a woman that I'm kinda like... just maybe make it less obvious?😅
Either way, I really loved the badass babes vibes all the women in the story gave me. And specially in a historical romance (if it can be called that, cause I suck at knowing the genere books belong at😂).
*SPOILERISH BIT*
Next book is Adelaide's apparently buuut, I can't wait for Imogen and Pecks book, and if we don't get one I'm gonna be real mad.
4.5⭐
Meghan's books have been such a discovery 🥹 i hope i can get into this kind of rhythm where when i don't know what to read, i'll remember to pick one of her books ❤️🩹
it's not like i've read all of her collection, but out of the two Cane brothers novels and the first Bisley brothers one? i am keeping Ryot 🥹
don't ask me why, but i really empathised with them both and got into their relationship so much that it HURT while reading it 😭
and i am so sad that i am not giving it 5⭐️, because it was THAT good, but the ending...🥲 i wished the ending went differently? don't ask me to explain, it's just that after everything this book put me through, i hoped the ending would have been more special than it actually felt
also... i need banner's book, that has become my no.1 priority right now, i need to know the love story between this hot computer nerd and kenzie, and the fact that i will have to wait is killing me 🥲
I was about to give it a 4.75 until I read the epilogue... and now I need more, and this is is a 5* book for me and as of right now? My favorite fantasy books of 2021 and I can't wait until december for the third book.
edit: Oh my gods the third book is about Evaraine and I CANT WAIT. I was nervous becuse Kyrion and Leisa's stort was left super well closed and to be honest I'd lie if I didn't say I was fantasizing about an Evaraine and Danric book and all together with the epilogue and blurb of the third book? I'm reeling, I need it now😭
I don't think I'll ever learn. Katherine's endings always leave me expecting more. The stories are so good and have such potential! But then the endings are a bit lackluster.
Gotta love the complexity of the characters tho, and how well she treads around trauma.
And then you just have that bit -a lot- of spice that just makes the book that much... engaging ;)
Gave it 4* but it was probably around 3.75 for me. Just because of how it ended, cause damn, it started being so fire 😭
3.75⭐️
2.5 🌶
TW: infertility, SA, action violence, verbal and physical abuse, starvation and triggering situations around food, torture (author's TW list https://authorwillowquinn.wordpress.com/content-warnings/
)
i swear the softness of the MCs in this book, brought me back to Heartstopper, don't mind me 🥹
what can you expect?
🦇 wings, horns and tail
(if you get my gist)
✨ "stop seducing me with your magic"
❤️🔥 slow burn romance
💖 healthy relationship
🌶 spicy mating bonds
let's start with the characters, 'cause i'm sure i'm not the one that was quite conflicted to know we had a demon MMC, but he looked like the sweetest cinnamon roll in the planet in the cover of the book (which 10/10, i ADORE the cover) 🙈
Keamon and Melina are those people you know, that have a heart of gold and everything you wished didn't happen to them, ends up happening 🥹 my heart literally hurts thinking about how sweet and wholesome their relationship was in the book 😭
their pasts are a wreak, Keamon being captive and tortured for information and Melina being abused by her relatives, they kind of find a common ground for their friendship and later on relationship to grow on ❤️🩹
Keamon has the patience of a saint with Melina's trauma while also dealing with the conflicted thoughts his own trauma evokes, and although i thoroughly enjoyed how their relationship grew, the ending felt a bit rushed as i hoped for more of the backstory to filter through :s
i feel like i spent all book waiting for situations related to their backstories to happen but they never did quite as i would've liked them to, like, so many interesting details and characters were mentioned that i wished were delved into a little bit more so that even though we had the love story of the MCs first and foremost, we also had something else to keep us on out toes 🧐
overall, i feel like it's a good debut novel for Willow, her writing is immaculate and the spice was on point 🥵 and although i lacked that extra tidbit of fantasy, nothing kept me from reading about the 5⭐️ relationship the MCs had 💖
i want to thank Willow for the chance of reading her first baby early and i can't wait for Enid's story 👀 (i also you consider giving Silenus his own story, he was quite the character 😂🙈)
As a non english speaker some of the descriptions in this book were so out of my vocabulary that I just decided to vibe with them and the sound they made.
And that's what I usually do, I won't lie. But all of those descriptions sounded so beautiful, I actually didn't care that I didn't know the meaning of all those words.
(My next mission is to reread this someday on a kindle so I can search for their meanings 🙈)
I, I just don't know what to say. This book was so beautiful it destroyed me in the best way possible. And I think thats the word for it if I had to describe it: beautiful... and dark. But that combo was just what I needed and what I didn't know I was craving for.
I am one to love books that keep me in the dark. Books that don't explain everything right away. I love playing detective and plotting possibilities and then discovering the truth. I love feeling so lost at the start of a story that I have the need to keep reading
I guess that's not what most people like, but if you do? Give this book a chance.
Also, Lane and Colton have a special place in my heart from now on. Their relationship was so special and different and ugh, I just love them. That's it.
I'm speechless, I don't even know what to say. Just, go read it? I bet I'm not the only one who recommended you this book.
And if I am? Do yourself a favor and start it already 🥲
