My Feral Five Star Reads ⭐🖤
The books currently living rent-free in my head. The ones I keep recommending, thinking about and forcing into other people's TBRs.
I have joined the cult and I am living for it. This book takes you on a wild ride that you aren't expecting. The character ARCs and growth are amazing. Carl is the book boyfriend we didn't know we needed as book girls.
Dungeon Crawler Carl Series
Colter Shaw can do no wrong. After I became obsessed with the Tracker TV show, I absolutely devoured this entire series. The audiobooks were so well narrated. Five stars all around.
The Never Game (2019)
This book was everything. I loved the representation, I loved the characters, I loved the concept. Nomi is an amazing FMC, and though I wanted to smack him a bunch, Julian was such a good MMC. Definitely check this one out.
Pot Shot by Laura Piper Lee
Carl and Donut are back at it again and I could not read this book quick enough. I am a woman obsessed. As someone who's never read a LitRPG before, I can tell you it's become a new favourite genre and this series is holding my attention more than an...
Carl's Doomsday Scenario (Dungeon Crawler Carl)
Dark Romance Recs 🥀
Morally questionable men, questionable decisions, complicated relationships and books that absolutely should come with a warning label.
Auto-buy authors here. This book was amazing start to finish. Demon x Ghost? Say less. Be sure to check your trigger warnings before jumping into any dark romance. Your mental health matters.
Eldrith Manor eBook by Rivers, Leigh & St. Graves
Five stars all around. This book had me swooning from start to finish. I love Avina's writing style.
Fiery Little Thing by Avina St. Graves
This is one of those BookTok books that ACTUALLY DESERVES the hype it got. This book starts this series off with a bang and I devoured it. The audiobook was A+ too.
Lights Out - Navessa Allen
Stalker x Stalker hockey romance? Say less. I am here for this. Mina and Leo are everything and I loved this book so goddamn much.
Midnight Message - Kindle edition by Avina St. Graves
Horror Books That Will Ruin You 🩸
Creepy, disturbing, unsettling and downright horrifying reads for people who think being scared is a good time.
This book lives in my head rent free. I will NEVER look at an egg the same.
Maeve Fly by C.J. Leede
This edition of Psycho is STUNNING. Shelf trophy worthy.
Psycho (Deluxe Edition): A Novel
what if the roles were reversed? What if Norman was her first kill? This book flips Psycho on its head and gives you one hell of a perspective. Five stars all around.
Marion by Leah Rowan
Young Adult Reads
YA books worth picking up — from dark and atmospheric to magical, emotional and completely addictive.
Five star YA horror novel. Dark academia, queer, and fabulously written. Don't ask questions, just buy the book.
My Dearest Darkest by Kayla Cottingham
Forever a YA favourite of mine. Karou's journey is full of twists and turns. The magic system is amazing and unique, and the characters are loveable. One of the only YA series I would happily re-read, and wish I could read again for the first time.
Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
Fantasy + Romantasy Books I Fell Into 🐉
Magic, monsters, impossible worlds, dangerous adventures and enough romantic tension to keep me turning pages way past bedtime.
Whitney Dean spins a beautiful tale that fantasy lovers won't want to miss. First in a duology, this book gives you magic, books, romance and a gripping story that will keep you flipping the pages to the end.

📖 Indie Favourites
Jamie writes the most eloquently beautiful prose. I am a woman obsessed.
Revenant
Whitney Dean's four kingdom's series is one that is near and dear to my heart. I devoured this fantasy series and am feral for the final edition to come.
The Four Kingdoms Series by Whitney Dean
Think Marvel Superheroes. These books had me hooked from the beginning. I loved Matt's writing style too!
Prism by Matt King (English) Paperback Book 9781074528881| eBay
"An Americano, please."
The first line of one of my favourite fantasy series of all time. This book follows Liv as she is thrust into an unfamiliar world with Gods and wars and factions. A truly beautiful story for fans of Zodiac Academy and the li...
Young Power (4 book series) Kindle Edition
Sports Romances 🏒🏀⚾
Hockey + Romance? Say less. As a true Canadian I am a woman who loves hockey, but I'm also a sucker for a good romcom. This one gives the best of both worlds. 💕
Mile High (Windy City, #1) by Liz Tomforde
Oh Canada — Canadian Authors 🇨🇦
One of my all-time favourite authors, and relatively local to where I live. I've been lucky enough to meet Kelley a few times, have multiple of my books signed by her, and have even sat in on a lecture she taught on writing. She's an amazing person, ...
Kelley Armstrong
Canadian writing royalty here. This woman knows how to weave a tale. From spellbinding love stories to Gothic tales, Karina has written books that have me gasping, and others have me kicking my feet. Definitely an author to check out. 🖤🇨🇦
