A cute romance about video game developers in a cozy cabin setting! I’m not a fan of the miscommunication trope, but I think it works best in novellas so the miscommunication doesn’t drag on for too long. The length of this book is perfect for this type of romance. If it were any longer, it would risk becoming a little too boring. A very fun Ali Hazelwood story, just not my favorite! As a video game lover, I would LOVE a full-length Ali novel with game developers in the future.

A perfect vampire/witch romance for Halloween (or any time of year)! I love the tension and buildup in Isadora and Devraj’s relationship. Isadora doesn’t trust Devraj at first and he is absolutely smitten and so patient with her. Their banter and chemistry is equal parts funny and sensual. I appreciate the representation of Isadora’s car phobia as someone who struggles with a severe car phobia myself. I only wish that it was explored more in the story! The side plot was engaging and showed the growth of the main characters. I took a long time to read this because of stuff going on in my life, but it is definitely a bingeable paranormal romance!
