I need more. I didn’t get enough of Molly and Cage (Cage lbvs). The fact she fed victims to pigs is my absolute favorite. I adore Molly and her stubbornness. She’s a queen in my book. Cage ugh shut up how could I not love him. One night is all it would take for me too. I love the cameos from Z & A at the end. Seriously I need more of Cage’s POV.

That was nuts! The first story was insane and I could not stop reading after that. (If anyone ever called me Drudge, immediately getting punched). The novellas were all crazy, I’m not even kidding I started this book March 3 and got home from work to read 3 books (this was one) and I completely stopped reading the other two to finish this! Talk about mouth wide open. Eric did an incredible storytelling job! I will highly recommend this to anyone who likes more horror-esc books. I could totally see myself rereading this in the future.

I am so fucking sad. I don’t think I’ve cried so hard over a book since The Fault In Our Stars. This story was so beautifully sad, heartbreaking, and heartwarming in the best ways. It was (sadly) relatable to me as well, which is why I think I feel so deeply for these characters because I see myself in them. I would reread this book over and over just to spend more time Liam, Wynn, and Lanston. I will never not think about this book.

This one threw me for a rollercoaster of emotions and i was i full blown tears by the end. The story of Lorenzo and Kate will forever be memorable for me. This book was told so well and i definitely enjoyed it more than the first and totally fell in love with Zo by the end. Honestly wish there was a third book because I love these two. Highly HIGHLY recommend for anyone who loves a hood mystery with a whole bunch of spice mixed in.

I enjoyed this story! Kate definitely isn’t my favorite type of main character, but I would have acted the same in this situation! The spice was definitely my favorite part! I have a few conspiracies about what Kate will find out in the next book and can’t wait to see if they’ll come true.

I need book 2 now please! My first ever fantasy book and I loved it. The way everyone’s powers worked was so fascinating. By the end of the book I loved every single character including ones I didn’t I would. I’m so excited to see the journey book 2 takes us on.

“Eyes on me” 
I absolutely loved the main characters in this story. Esther is the strong female lead a book like this needs! She would do anything in her power to not to go home and I loved that about her. She was determined and nothing was stopping her. I honestly don’t know how Alec didn’t give up the chase. I did get bored around 3/4 of the way through as nothing extremely exciting was happening, and the ending didn’t tie up some loose ends. Other than that I was smiling and kicking my feet like a teen in love for the first time to multiple parts of the story. So excited to read the next one in the series.

This story about Nathan and Sarah was so cute. I was super hesitant to read this book as I truly thought it just wouldn’t be for me, but I fell in love with it. It was super interesting learning about the tech side of things (I wouldn’t know if they are accurate but they sound pretty real to me). The plot was one that definitely left me wanting more after each chapter, especially towards the beginning of the book. I saw so many bits and pieces of myself in these characters and this story. As well as seeing some of my own relationship relating to the two main characters, which helped me connect even more to this book! I can’t wait to read Pitch It to see what else Evie has in store for these two lovable characters.

So short and not too spicy! I absolutely loved all of the nature themed metaphors and the setting of this short story! Would recommend to anyone who wants something short, sweet, a lil spicy, and magical.
