Sci-fi fantasy for the strange of it
Dystopian, odd, end of world sci-fi, fantasy
This book hooked me and I had to read the whole series right away. The writing is fantastic, its detailed, fluent and weaves such an interesting story.
The Obelisk Gate
This book hooked me and I had to read the whole series right away. The writing is fantastic, its detailed, fluent and weaves such an interesting story.
The Stone Sky
This book series hooked me and I had to read the whole series right away. The writing is fantastic, its detailed, fluent and weaves such an interesting story.
The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth, #1) by N.K. Jemisin
Okay DO NOT READ IF YOUR IN SAD MODE. BUT DEFINATLY SHOULD READ. This was my first Klune book and I'm hooked. What a crazy wild Armageddon story that felt raw and real and just took you on an adventure that made you really think on how you would resp...
We Burned So Bright
This book has been on my yearly rereads. I love the nonsense and silliness and seriousness of the prophetic ending of the world. I am a fan of Terry Pratchett and it saddens me that Neil Geiman turned out to be a punk. But i cannot resist this book.
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies
Okay I know it's all the rage now. But it is on my yearly rereads list. This series has so many relatable themes and makes you think about day to day and life even. Like how you respond to others and your place in your world. All wrapped up in a pret...
Dungeon Crawler Carl 8-Book Series Kindle
Spooky and strange
This could be scary or just unsettling but a wild ride and worth the read
This was such an interesting read. Definatly had some parts that I would not have guessed! Has a horror vibe to it.
Her Wicked Roots by Tanya Pell
Gothic horror, creepy characters, strange monsters. Oh yes this was a great read. Definatly was on the edge of my seat with this one
Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
This book was super creepy, at tad necromancy, a need to figure out a families past, and a whole town in on it. This left me chilled when i was done with it
Stay Buried by Jennifer McMahon
This was a trippy book. Well worth the read. Its got a cult, its got creatures, its got internal fears. A mixed bag of horror and why did they let themselves get that far. Warning it is a bit gory but well worth the read
The Sea Hides Its Dead by Megan Bontrager
For the Thrill of it!
I mean who doesnt need their adrenalin going while they read
This was such a good book. I got through it so quick becuase i couldn't stop! Such a thrill and crazy navigation of famlily history. I have not seen the show but i might have to now!
The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
Second book to “The Last thing He Told Me” woah dang it did not dissapoint. Just as intense and the main character is really a baddy!
The First Time I Saw Him
What a fun book. You fall for the characters and you are injusted by how they are treated.I feel like it kept you guessing till the end!
Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth
okay ill start by saying this is not a 5 star read. BUT! it was dang good and quite a vendicating female revenge take on would you rather man or bear. I did have to remind myself that the main characters are highschoolers because some of the things t...
Natural Selection by Clare Edge
Karin Slaughter has a way of writing that is brutal. You almost feel wounded after one of her books. That being said you cannot help but read through what she has to say. This story was a fictional "true crime" story of missing girls and people getti...
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
This was my first Karin Slaughter book and boy i could NOT stop reading. It was intense, thrilling and hard to read at some points. she has a way of writing that is brutal and honost and more realistic in ways. When your main character is a badass la...
False Witness: A Novel - Slaughter, Karin: Books
I know its a show now but this book was thrilling. Not my favorite by this writier but definatly traumatizing in a way you wouldnt guess. Aloof spoiled daughter finds out things about her mom and unravels a mystery to a dangerous past, yes please. I will say i haaaaated the main character in BOTH books. But the writing is good and the story was good. worth the read. Warning themes of m...
Pieces of Her (Andrea Oliver, #1) by Karin Slaughter
Again i know its a movie or show but the book is better (i havent seen the screenmade haha). Another thrilling and brutal story of a crime that happens years ago and comes back to haunt main character. Investigating a crime that happens now only to u...
The Good Daughter: A Novel by Karin Slaughter
I love me a good thriller, mix it with a baffling main character that doesnt fit in a neat box and boom you have a former orphan crime ivestigating detective caught in strange situations. I will say the relationship our guy has with his ex (of sorts)...
WILL TRENT SERIES
To squee or not to squee this is Romantasy!
I do love a good love story…thats not just all “my mate” this or that
Okay this book had me in tears and frustration and i found myself rooting and hoping for the love interests to work it out. It was a fascinating tale and it was messy and not wrapped up in a neat bow. This is what i love about this book it feels real...
Wolfsong (Green Creek, #1) by T.J. Klune
This is the second book of the series. And it does NOT dissapoint. Its a mixed bag of all the things you might need or want in a ramantasy. You have shapeshifting wolfs, you have Brujos (witches) you have harboring of love interests, you have impendi...
Ravensong (Green Creek, #2) by T.J. Klune
Okay i didn't think id like this book because it was over talked about and so hyped…but they were right and i really did enjoy this book. The love interest gets on your nerves but enemies to lovers are always that frustraiting. I do love the dragon l...
Fourth Wing — Rebecca Yarros | #1 NYT Bestselling Author
again couldn't put it down. Main character endures and takes it and fights back and it is refreshing to have a main character that is breakable but strong enough to keep going. Plus the friendships along the way, the character growth and lets face it...
Iron Flame (Standard Edition) (The Empyrean, 2)
This book had me in tears. Such a great read but i wont spoil anymore. Much like the first two this book traps you in the lore and impending doom. Just wow.
Onyx Storm — Rebecca Yarros | #1 NYT Bestselling Author
Let's not confuse Romantasy with good cheap smut
If you want strange blue aliens, and abandonded women on a weird planet this is the series for you. Plus, the smut is great lol. They all have their own fun time explorations. Beware there is some violence and SA involved in these stories but between...
Ice Planet Barbarians Series by Ruby Dixon
I ATE UP this series! You have the normal gods and villians and you cannot help but love the characters and outcomes. Not always well written but always satisfying as far as fun spice.
Dark Olympus Series by Katee Robert
Another series of scrumptiousness. Minus desperate measures that one felt a little too much along the lines of SA instead of consent. BUT the villians again get a chance to get a love story. Writting isnt aaaamazing but it well worth the read. Spice ...
Wicked Villains Series by Katee Robert
Okay this book make me feel things that im not entirely sure im okay with…but in a good way lol. Spice was great, the hardest part about these types of books is the inexperienced vs the experienced so that makes it less relatable but other than that ...
Morning Glory Milking Farm (Cambric Creek, #1)
Libraries, Book Clubs, Books about books....
This was a cozy story about people who are down on their luck learning to turn their lives around. Strangely unique and a heartwarming story.
The Midnight Book Club by Emily W. Andersen
Stories with a bit of History
this book KILLED me. What a beautiful story of toxic families and the aftermath of war. Theres a gorgeous love story and lots of hardships and what it takes to make a ne life. Warning there is DV in this book and it will hit hard. Such a great read.
The Great Alone: A Novel - Hannah, Kristin: Books
This book was such a crazy read. It was interesting to get a females perspective on being in war. Becuase women were never in the war. This book had me in tears. I feel like i love hated the main character but thats a personal choice, so worth the re...
The Women: 9781250178640: Hannah, Kristin: Books
What an interesting read on the historical dust bowl. You read history and you might think you can know how it was. Kristin Hannah has a way of weaving you into that life/time period and making you feel what people in that time would have felt.
The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah
Love, war, war because of love, fake love, real love, loss…Set in a time where dynaties and what is expected of women is the deciding factor in all aspects of life. A great twisty tale of a neverending cycle.
A Song to Drown Rivers by Ann Liang
This was a devestatingly gorgeous book of love and jealousy and sacrifice through a time period where women are seen and not heard and parents are not the family you think they are
Fishbone Cinderella by Elizabeth Lim
Lore and Legends Yes please
I love me a book that can be fantasy with minimal to no romantasy
Okay this book series is SO DANG GOOD. It has supernatural, warewolves, ware cayotes, vampires, vampire kings and queens love but its not all about the love, it has Indigonous lore and spirit animals. Main character is truely a badass. They are short...
Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs
