Literally books I'd lobotomize myself to read again
I did not think book 2 could beat book 1 but SJM proved me wrong! The adventure, the romance, and the fight and rage all esculates in this second book in the best way possible! So excited to read the next one!
A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #2)
5⭐
Crying. Screaming. Shouting at the top of my lungs how badly I've enjoyed the adventure
5⭐ The continuation is just as magical and grand as the first book. The romance between Evie and The Villian continue to grip my throat with its claws and the emergence of romances between the other characters as well. Along with that, a mystery is s...
Apprentice to the Villain (Assistant and the Villain #2)
5⭐ We find that everyone as a purpose and every character follow their own Fates. Of course, it has to end in the biggest cliffhanger on earth and now I have to patiently wait until August for the next (last???) book.
Accomplice to the Villain (Assistant and the Villain #3)
5⭐ Funny, witty, and quirky characters that I instantly fell in love with. Super YA core, but the steady romance held my attention.
Assistant to the Villain (Assistant and the Villain #1)
5⭐ Couples compete against each other in a reality show where they raise a virtual baby in the Metaverse. How insane is that? On top of that, they are being filmed 24/7 where people can vote who wins in the end. It's a novel that makes you think abou...
The Family Experiment: A Novel
5⭐ Beautiful world building with passionately crafted characters that you care for from page 1. A true allude to "Beauty and The Beast" but with a twisted take and more Faeries. Tamlin will steal your heart away and you can't do anything about it.
A Court of Thorns and Roses |A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #1
5⭐ A short cute novella that centers around celebrating the Winter Solstice while also ramping up the plot for the next book.
A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #4)
4⭐
stories that still stuck with me
4⭐ A dark rom-com in a nutshell where the dark is beige (there are TWs), and the romance romances. I mean, he loved her since day 1 and continues to love her more. It's not 5 stars because I wanted more punches to MY face but overall it is a feels go...
Butcher & Blackbird (Ruinous Love Trilogy #1)
4⭐ This was a wonderful story about love conquering all. There were times it was just difficult to read/ pay attention because of how poetic and lyrical the book was written (its me not the author) but because of how beautifully the words were strung...
A Theory of Dreaming (A Study in Drowning #2)
4⭐ Another fantasy book from Mrs. SJM. The book was a tad slow in the beginning, but when it picked up, it picked up good and fast. Of course, I will be continuing it because the plot keeps unfolding.
A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #3)
3⭐
still good reads but maybe not as memorable
3⭐ Very heavy on the world building and new terminology straight from the get go that if you space out it will be hard to follow (me). There was very little time for things to simmer and for tension to build, it felt like things kept o happening one ...
Anathema (The Eating Woods #1)
3⭐Good, but not as good at the first book. This book had a time traveling element to it that was really appealing to me and it made sense (some parts were a tad confusing) up until it didn't. Too many coinicidental situations and it felt kind of rush...
The Things Gods Break (The Crucible Series #2)
2⭐
not my cup of tea
2⭐ Crazy ABO universe where she's quirky, the men are hot, and the plot is deranged. I think the writing is kinda bad and it's really not my cup of tea but I found myself reading book 2 lol? Weird guilty pleasure book I guess…
Psycho Shifters (Cruel Shifterverse #1)
2⭐Don't ask me why, I just found myself reading it. It might be a guilty pleasure book…
Psycho Fae (Cruel Shifterverse #2)
1⭐
no. i did not like that
1⭐ Winston is a pay pig and Ash does degrading acts for money. Highly kinky activities - unforunately not for me. I will not be continuing this series.
Stroke of Midnight: Cinderella Novel #1
1⭐ Once again, I just think it is awful story writing. The MC is a little too sarcastic for my liking and the men are…confusing. This will be my stop to the series.
Psycho Beasts (Cruel Shifterverse #3)
