4.5!! i need the next one NOW

so cute! halle is so relatable

this was a super cute series overall!

y'all thank god i randomly picked up face off (the first book on this series) because i am obsessed!! i don't think the next one can get any better and yet it does ... hudson hayes the man you are

this was such a nostalgic read & i honestly really enjoyed it!! can't wait to continue my reread of this series and delve more into the whole world with all of the other connected books

4.5! so good! finished this in one sitting while on the plane

dnf @ 56% — so sad bc i loved the premise of this but i just couldn't get into it and i'm trying to do better about not reading things i'm not excited to read

obsessed.

thank you so much to Wednesday Books and Laura Stevens for this ARC via Netgalley!!

wow. this book was absolutely stunning and kept me fully engaged. to start off the premise drew me in — two souls who are endlessly stuck in a cycle of loving and killing each other. then i loved the way that we seamlessly switched from present to past in order to see bits and pieces of all the lives they lived and give even more depth to their relationship. and then finally the twists i didn't see coming that i found so intriguing and the ending that left me speechless

this one was super fast-paced and short which kept me engaged but it felt very one-dimensional at times and i was really craving more depth out of the characters

this one took forever because it was my before bed read but i did really enjoy and it ended up devouring the last 100 pages!

3.5! this was cute

i love greek myths and i love getting to hear them from a women's perspective

thank you so much to Bantam/Ballantine & Ande Pliego for this ARC via Netgalley!!

i had such a good time reading this one! i've always loved clue and this took such an interesting spin on the “locked room” idea as well as various other thriller tropes that were weaved in. it was a bit slow to get started but once i really got into the neat of it (40-50% in) i did not want to put it down (and i didn't lol) and ended up devouring the rest of it. part of this was that the multiple povs was overwhelming at the beginning but i did come to appreciate them by the end.

maybe i was just too enveloped in the story to really think far ahead but i truly did not see some of the ending twists coming which was a nice surprise! overall, i think it wrapped up nicely and i felt content with the ending. if you want a writer's themed locked door mystery thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat you should give You Are Fatally Invited a read when it comes out February 11, 2025❤️‍

this one was fun & delivered exactly what i expected — fake dating + fated mates ... count me in

i enjoyed this one! it was a really interesting mix of magic and history with some romance sprinkled in

really enjoyed this one & being able to really dive into women in greek myths

okay i went into this thinking it would be right up my alley and boy did it deliver! such a charming romantasy with such fun banter and good chemistry combined with a interesting plot & world — it gave me studio ghibli vibes mixed with you've got mail

i absolutely adored this one

this one kept me thoroughly engaged and i loved how everything tied together in the end!

3.5! finally finished this one!! def took a bit to get into and could've been shorter but overall i enjoyed it!

3.5! not the biggest fan of insta love but this was a super cute holiday romance

listened to the audiobook of this and it was SO good. yet again reminds me how compelling tjr's storytelling is. can't wait to watch the show now

4.5!!! i love carissa broadbent & the crown of nyaxia world is so interesting

listened to this one as an audiobook and it was so well done!! romance mystery may be one of my new fav genres. to quote my fiancé “it was a movie for my ears”
