If you know me, you know I love a good T. Kingfisher book, and this one did not disappoint. I will not bore you with the blurb, but I will tell you my opinion on it: I LOVED IT. There's not a book from this author that was not a 5⭐️ read for me, but ...
Nettle & Bone

This book is hard to put down once you start. I loved the friendship here I think as much as the horror. And trust me, there are all kinds of horrors in this story. Goddess of Filth is a story about a group of friends who drink a little booze and pe...

The second book in "Her Majesty Royal Coven" is, to no one's surprise, a masterpiece. I have only one thing to say and that is JUNO DAWSON YOU MUST ANSWER FOR YOUR CLIFFHANGER CRIMES
The Shadow Cabinet: A Novel
 
Maddie profile picture
I’d rate it 6 stars if I could 😩 It tackles ALL the things. Race, Gender, Trans, Queer, Body Positivity, Feminism….The list goes on and on and what’s worse is the plot is a BANGER. Think Harry Potter for adults but it incorporates all the things yo...

Hex is hands down the creepiest book I have ever read, and everyone should read it because it's an experience
HEX

I did not expect to be taken back by this book as much as I was, towards the end I did let out a few tears. A wonderful story, and one of my favorite books of 2024.
Weyward: A Novel

This one really took me by surprise in such a great way. I was pulled in quickly, and the writing style made it such an easy yet immersive read. If you enjoy witchy folklore with a sharp emotional core, this is one to add to your TBR.

This is a witty, modern mashup of all the best dramatic and best friend elements of The Babysitter’s Club series, the black humor and witchery of The Craft, and the crime-fighting badassery of Buffy. If you loved My Best Friend's Exorcism, this book ...
The Babysitters Coven

Brewed with Love is a warm hug, or perhaps a glowing tonic, with a mystery plot that flowed naturally. If you're looking for a fun, comforting, sapphic read, I would highly recommend.

This story was amazing. I loved how it integrated parts of the original Dracula story. And yes Lucy definitely deserved this story. It read like invisible life of Addie larue (which was also brilliantly beautiful). A deff must read for vampire lovers...

House of Hunger is what I would consider True Gothic Horror. This book was pure vibes. The atmosphere was dark and creepy. I haven't read Alexis Henderson's first book The Year of the Witches but trust me I will be reading it before the end of this y...

Look, it's the classic for me, the blueprint. I've read this before watching TVD, so this is THAT book for me. If you didn't read it it, you are missing out on the best vampire academy themed book.

Another blueprint for vampire books. There's nothing I could say about this book that hasn't already been said, other than GO READ IT!!

Okay, two words and then you run to buy it, alright? Polyamorous vampires. Go.
Mistress of Lies

I will always recommend this series for fans of fantasy with rebellion, dark and flawed main characters who live to not be predictable. There’s romantic entanglements that will break your heart, but have you hoping for a redemption arc at every oppor...

This book made me laugh and it made me anxious and I just loved it. It's too bad that it ended like it did, because I would definitely sign up for a Southern Book Club series.

If you are a fan of tragic love stories, any level of historical fiction, and don't mind a bit of horror added in, then this might just be the book for you! This read was a highly recommended, incredibly well-written gothic love story, with vampires ...

I would recommend this book to others with the explanation that they are quite different from the HBO series. This book is really a quick and easy read that can be a lot of fun. This book is really just candy in book form. Nothing serious, nothing su...
