I didn’t like this one as much as I thought I would, it was just okay for me. The plot was really good, but somewhere along the way I found myself just wanting it to end. It dragged in parts, even though the idea had so much potential. Definitely not a favorite, but I can appreciate what it was going for. The twist at the end was interesting though!

Dungeon Crawler Carl is ridiculously funny. Carl and his cat Princess Donut make the shenanigans so much fun to follow. The story gets so crazy and messy at times, but I was interested the whole way. Having the audiobook while physically reading brought the characters to life in such an unique and interesting way. Definitely a must read if you like dark humor and action!

This was my first read by Nat Cassidy and it definitely won’t be my last! When the Wolf Comes Home kept me on the edge of my seat, I was constantly trying to piece things together, only for the story to twist in ways I never saw coming. This book is about fear and the power it can have over you, and Cassidy delivers that in such a chilling, unforgettable way. I went in completely blind (and I’m glad I did!), it was fast paced, crazy good, and full of surprises. Even though the ending left me with a few questions about the FMC, it didn’t take away from how much I loved this book. Honestly, it blew my mind, an amazing story.

This honestly could’ve just been a final chapter or epilogue in The Perfect Child. It was still good and gave some closure, but Christopher was still so naive and ignorant, which drove me a little crazy. Overall, a quick follow up that added to the story, but it didn’t quite feel like it needed to be its own book.

This book had me glued to the pages, I honestly felt like I was watching a movie the whole time. This is my second Lucinda Berry book, and I enjoyed this one more than the first. The twisted relationship between the mother and child kept me turning the pages, and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. The husband, though… he drove me crazy with how naive he was 🙄 there’s no way a man can be this ignorant. Overall, a wild and unsettling read that kept me interested from start to finish!

This book was beautifully written from the author’s note all the way to the epilogue. Truly magical. I read along with the physical copy while listening to the audiobook, and honestly, I’d do it all over again. I kept thinking how much I wish this book had been around when my boys were younger, seeing a story with such strong representation of their culture would’ve meant so much. The worldbuilding and magic system were incredible, mixed with Yoruba traditions and Haitian culture in such a powerful way. Malik’s journey was crazy, he’s a young man whose life changes after his mother disappears and he discovers he has magical powers. Years later, he enrolls at Caiman University, an HBCU that’s also a magical school, where twists and surprises unfold at every turn. I absolutely loved this story and can’t wait for book two!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. I, Medusa by Ayana Gray comes out November 2025, and first of all, can we talk about that gorgeous cover? It instantly pulled me in and made me want to read it. This was actually my first Greek mythology read, and overall it was okay for me. The beginning was strong, fast paced, and had me interested, but the middle dragged a bit and I found my attention slipping. Still, I really enjoyed getting to learn more about Medusa’s story, and that version alone made it worth picking up.
