These are my top reads — the ones that consumed me. The books that had me spiraling at 2AM, whispering “just one more chapter” like a liar. The ones I devoured in a single sitting and willingly neglected responsibilities for because nothing — and I m...

I loved Anathema because it was such a different kind of book! It was spooky and mysterious, and the slow-burn love story was absolutely perfect. The dark, moody atmosphere made it feel so unique — I truly loved this book.
Anathema by Keri Lake, Paperback
I inhaled this book in one sitting — it was probably my favorite read of the year! The monsters were wild and so fascinating, and I couldn’t get enough of the storyline. The romance was perfectly woven in and added so much to the story. Honestly, eve...
Shield of Sparrows #1 - Devney Perry
This book was a surprising five-star read for me. The intense trials, layered mystery, massive dire wolves, and swoon-worthy romance made it a top-tier experience. I was completely immersed in this world from start to finish. I’m beyond excited for t...
Dire Bound
I devoured this book like it was my last meal. I did NOT know I needed a smoking-hot Scottish romance with wolves… but apparently my soul has been craving it. Growly Highlander energy? Yes. Feral chemistry? Absolutely. I was kicking my feet and refus...
The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman
Yep. Just when I thought this series couldn’t possibly get better… it did. Book two absolutely wrecked me in the best way. I am unwell over these broody Scottish men and their feral wolf energy. The tension? Immaculate. The angst? Chef’s kiss.
I’m of...
The Night Prince (Deluxe Edition) by Lauren Palphreyman, Hardcover
This book?? Yeah. It owned me.
The world-building was top tier, the humor actually made me laugh, and don’t even get me started on the broody, morally-questionable dark male main character 😮🔥 I ate. It. Up.
The magic system was so unique. The huma...
Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy, 1): Hart, Callie
Vikings… with magic? Yes please.
This book was brutal in the best way — gritty, intense, and completely unapologetic. The action was wild, the magic added such a cool edge to the story, and I was hooked the entire time.
And the QUESTIONS I have?! I n...
The Road of Bones (The Ashen, #1) by Demi Winters
The second book was just as good as the first — maybe even better??
I still love my magic-filled Vikings, but now I’m fully obsessed with the multiple POVs. Getting inside each character’s head and seeing how their stories intertwine made the world f...
Kingdom of Claw (The Ashen, #2) by Demi Winters
Nonfiction
If you want a book that will absolutely destroy you, this is it. I don’t know who hurt Rebecca Yarros, but this book wrecked me. I cried through at least 75% of it — the tragedy was relentless. If you’re in need of a good cry, this is the one. It was...
The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros
This was such a beautiful book. I loved how historically accurate many parts of the story felt. The dual perspectives of the two sisters during World War II made the story even more powerful. Seeing their different experiences and struggles showed th...
The Nightingale: A Novel - Hannah, Kristin: Books
Funny Story was the perfect palate cleanser.
After all the chaos of my last reads, this one felt light, refreshing, and exactly what I needed. It genuinely made me laugh at times, but it also had so much heart.
The ending was beautiful, and the messa...
