items This is a list of all the books. I’ve read in 2025 along with my ratings and thoughts.
2.5 stars it took me so long to get through this. The concept was cool. It was just slow in my opinion
Someone Is Always Watching by Kelley Armstrong
5 stars. Apart of The Inheritance Games world but you didn’t need to read those for this one to make sense loved it!
The Grandest Game (Volume 1)
3.5 stars when I got this, you weren’t missing out on too much but now they have kind of connected a storyline in here into the main books, so it’s worth the read
Games Untold: An Inheritance Games Collection by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
4.5 stars. Loved this book, this was actually a reread because I got the sequel and wanted to read them together
The Witch Haven
3.5 stars. I really liked this book up until the last chapter. I didn’t personally like the very end of this book, but the journey there was good.
The Witch Hunt (The Witch Haven, #2) by Sasha Peyton Smith
2.75 stars don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed the book. It just felt very forced to be reminiscent, adding so many characters from the old ones if that wasn’t such a big part of this book it definitely would’ve had a higher rating in my books.
Sunrise on the Reaping (The Hunger Games)
4 stars This is my first book from them and I really enjoyed it. I know they have a couple other books in the same world and I definitely want to give it a try.
The Wild Huntress
3 stars
I got this book in a Fairyloot years ago and I finally picked it up and it was good and the second one is so much better
Seven Faceless Saints #1 - MK Lobb
5 stars
Sequel to the seven faceless saints this was so good some things were really predictable, but the story to get there was marvellous!
Disciples of Chaos
4.25 stars
My friend recommended this book to me and I’m so glad she did such an interesting take on people with abilities
Vicious
3.25 stars
Sequel to vicious it was a good read. Nothing blew me away. It definitely could’ve ended after the first book, but it was still an entertaining read.
Vengeful (Villains, #2) by V.E. Schwab
5 stars
I loved this book. It had a couple tropes that I liked. There was adventure and lots of emotions reading this.
Heartless Hunter: The Crimson Moth: Book 1
4.75 stars
Sequel to the heartless hunter it was good but I predicted what happened like 30 pages into the book that being said they weren’t about it in a good way. One thing that was annoying is it was very repetitive at the beginning.
Rebel Witch: The Crimson Moth: Book 2
1 star
Apparently, there’s other books in this world you’re supposed to read before this one which I didn’t know so it was really hard for me to get into it. There is only like two POVs that I enjoyed which unfortunately were the smallest two. I’m de...
King of Scars (King of Scars, #1) by Leigh Bardugo
3.75 stars
I did enjoy this book but you definitely have to have read untold games and the inheritance game books for this to totally make sense
Glorious Rivals (The Grandest Game, #2) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
3.25 stars
The storyline was good enough, but I definitely feel like even though the topics were heavier the writing felt more YA than the inheritance games by the same author.
The Naturals #1 - Jennifer Lynn Barnes
3.75 stars
Book number two in the natural series this was definitely my favourite out of the 4.5 books
Killer Instinct (The Naturals, #2) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
3.5 stars
Book 3 in the natural series you get to learn more about Stallone in this one, which I enjoyed and it really sets up book number four
All In (The Naturals, #3) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
3.5 stars
Fourth book in the natural series, it was a good ending. Everything came together.
Bad Blood (The Naturals, #4) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
3.5 stars
This is a Novella, a part of the natural series. I enjoyed seeing kind of where they are a few years into the future. You don’t have to read this book. It was just a fun extra.
Twelve: The Naturals E-novella eBook : Barnes, Jennifer Lynn
4.75 stars
I left the last three months to read this trilogy and read all three books within one month because they were so good
Fourth Wing
4.25 stars
I left the last three months to read this trilogy and read all three books within one month because they were so good
Iron Flame
5 stars
I left the last three months to read this trilogy and read all three books within one month because they were so good
I thought of this book almost every day for like the month after I read it
Onyx storm
3.25 star
It was a cute book. I got it at a local book event that gathered a bunch of Canadian authors.
Our Vengeful Souls by Kristi McManus
3.75 stars
I liked the concept and how they did magic in this book. It was a different take on it, and the storyline with the characters was well thought out.
Red City (The New Alchemists, #1) by Marie Lu
3.5 stars
It was an entertaining book with the adventure and magic
Caraval #1 - Stephanie Garber
3 stars
Sequel to Caraval told by the sister’s point of view I personally liked the first one better but reviews I’ve seen you usually either like the first book or the second book better
Legendary (Caraval, #2) by Stephanie Garber
4 stars
Third book in Caraval Series this was personally, my favourite out of the three books and it intertwined with once upon a heart which I thought was a really cool concept
Finale (Caraval, #3) by Stephanie Garber
3.75 stars
I really enjoyed this book and you definitely don’t have to read the Caraval trilogy for this one to make sense, but it adds a little something when you know those stories
Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
3.75 stars the story was so good and the ending is crazy
The Ballad of Never After (Once Upon a Broken Heart Series #2)|Paperback
3 stars. It had potential but it was repetitive
A Curse for True Love (B&N Exclusive Edition) (Once Upon a Broken Heart Series #3)|BN Exclusive
