Five star reads of 2025

items This is my 2025 reading wrap up, the books that I rated five stars.
This book was SO good. I loved the magic system, the forbidden romance, enemies to lovers, and most of all the characters. Enzo and Elara are incredible, their banter was laugh out loud funny. I recommend this to anyone itching for a book you can't p...
Heavenly Bodies #1 - Imani Erriu
I'm still mourning this series, the magic system was easy to follow and the chemistry between the MMC and FMC were immaculate. There are trials, plot twists, mystery, enemies to lovers (ish), and an incredible plot that makes you love every character...
The Prison Healer #1 - Lynette Noni
Rarely so I love the second book in any series as much if not more than the first. This book was incredible. Though there wasn't the same kind of plot line as the first book, it still delivered in every aspect.
The Gilded Cage (The Prison Healer, #2) by Lynette Noni
If I could rate this book any higher than five stars, I would. This book was sad but also so healing, the character growth between the FMC and the MMC was beautifully written and incredible. If you're looking for a fast read that keeps you hooked thr...
The Blood Traitor (The Prison Healer, #3) by Lynette Noni
I know this was mentioned in another list, but it was so good, it has to be mentioned more than once. I loved this book so much. Incredible, easy to follow world building, banter, and the ending will have you gasping and going back to the beginning t...
Metal Slinger (Fire & Metal, #1) by Rachel Schneider
I will never not recommend this book, and they just announced the second book will be released next year. So if you like to read books consecutively, now is the perfect time to pick this one up. Incredible read.
Nightshade (Sorrowsong University, #1) by Autumn Woods
I know this is a repeat, but how can I not? If you want to see what I think about it, check out my kindle unlimited Recs.
Shield of Sparrows #1 - Devney Perry
I loved this Duology so much, I have been fascinated by Cleopatra and why we can't find her tomb. This was everything twelve year old me wanted. If you dream about finding Cleopatra and you loved Rick O' Connell, you'll love this.
What the River Knows (Secrets of the Nile, #1) by Isabel Ibañez
