I kept being told I wouldn’t enjoy this but I am so glad I didn’t listen! This was a great read! It has an FMC I adored and isla is a ruling wildling born without power and every 100 years they have a chance to break the curses on lightlark before the island disappears again. Grimm a nightshade supposed to be isla’s enemey is surprisingly helpful at every turn and orlo the king that looks down on isla at every turn but wants to partner up with her to break the curses! So many secrets! Excited to read Nightshade next!

 Ripped my fucking heart right out of my chest with this one! 
Exodus by Kate Stewart book 2 in the Ravenhood series had me going through every emotion and at one point I was questioning wether to continue but I am so so glad I did although chapter 25 just why did you have to go an do something like that I couldn’t pick up the book for two days in order to emotionality wrap my head around what just happened! Spice is great not to much not to little it’s definitely more plot that spice which was exactly what I wanted.

Foxglove by Adalyn Grace is a beautifully written slow burn fantasy world set in the 1850s with a side of murder mystery!  when our FMC is torn between her love of death or fate, being made to believe she is the reincarnation of life herself. Can they solve the murder and outwit fate? 
Foxglove is a beautifully crafted story and I am excited to see where this story goes from here

After an aunt dies Signa is taken to Thorne Grove to the house of a cousin where she tries to solve the attempted murder of her cousins before it’s to late and death claims them. With the help of Silas a stable boy and the ghost of her aunt who succumbed to death before Signa arrived.

Absolutely loved this! once again Sarah J Maas did not disappoint in Crescent City House of Sky and Breath. Again we follow Brice quinnlyn and hunt as they find themselves up against the Astari and the king of the underworld. We have new characters to get to know and love. The ending OMG ruined me once again and the massive crossover! I am so intrigued and can’t wait to get my hands on the next one! 
If you have read any of Sarah j Maas books you need to read this series!

So why am I obsessed! I was hooked from chapter 1! spicy, thrilling, crime,etc. Everything you want in a dark read I ate this up and I’m hoping for seconds! Really hoping this isn’t a stand alone please look at all the trigger warnings this read does touch on A lot of different areas that may upset some but I really enjoyed it
