This was a truly unique reading experience. I highly recommend the audiobook, the narrator did an amazing job and I never felt lost (a common critique I’m seeing in the reviews).

This was a decent, quick read but it wasn’t much more than just something to pad the reading goal. I enjoyed the political aspect more than I thought I would- coming off a hellish election and staring down the dumpster fire that will be the next 4 years, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to read about politics but it was refreshing. My main complaint is that for how short the book is, the characters are barely together. I wanted to see more of their relationship develop.

Tarah DeWitt is a new to me author this year and I have devoured every single one of her books this one included. I love how she writes her characters, they feel so real. But in this book especially, I loved how imperfect they were. I live for tension and angst so I ate this up. She is god-tier auto-buy author for me.

This was a really sweet book just not for me. The plot was a little too fluffy, I needed some more tension, more angst. The banter was cute and the love story was so sweet- if you’re in the mood for something cozy and low stakes, this will be perfect for you.

This wasn’t my favorite but it wasn’t bad. The pacing was off for me, I felt the beginning was very slow but I enjoyed the story once it took off. Didn’t have the banter that I love with a Brynne Weaver book but it was angsty enough to get the job done.

I love S.A. Cosby’s storytelling so much. This was another perfect book for me. Miniseries/movie when?!

This series is the perfect example of not plot, just vibes in the best way. I usually don’t like cozy, low stakes books but there’s just something about this series that has me hooked. The chemistry between the main characters is literally all I need. I was feral for this book, I loved how explosive Teddy and Gus were in the previous books and their book was everything I wanted and more!

This was just Serpents and the Wings of Night but with ghosts. And a very mid version at that.
