Scream For Us by Molly Doyle
dark
fast-paced
4.0
I love that the author said If youβre looking for a story with a solid plot, this is not the book for you. If you are wanting a Halloween book with spice, masked men, RH, touch her and π then this book is for you. It's a quick read but not disappointing.
Hollow Heathens: Book of Blackwell by Nicole Fiorina
5.0
Weeping Hollow is a town that you dream of getting lost in. The cozy small town vibe that makes you want to sit by a fire drinking hot coffee or cider with your friends. This book got me out of a huge reading slump and introduced me to a whole new genre of reading possibilities.
Fallon is a girl with no family save for her grandfather Benny who she recently finds out has fallen ill. She travels to Weeping Hollow so she can help him heal or be there for him if he passes on. What she does not know yet is once you are in Weeping Hollow there is no leaving.
Julian our MMC carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. He wears a mask of arrogance and indifference to protect those he loves most. I love Julians character development throughout this novel. He starts out believing he is the monster everyone claims him to be, only to realize there are monsters in all of us. It's how we choose to be that dictates monster or hero.

A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas

This book in the series serves to gives some feel good holiday happiness following a war that just decimated every character. One thing I loved about this is hearing the perspectives of side characters.

β I have no regrets in my life, but this. That we did not have time. That I did not have time with you, Nesta. I will find you again in the next world β the next life. And we will have that time. I promise. β
This scene broke me.
This book focuses on the looming war and preparation for it. We are introduced to new monsters, in depth back stories on characters, and lots of new characters are brought in. I loved seeing the connection between Cassian and Nesta in this book. Nesta cutting off the kings head was very Uhtred of Bebbanberg and I love it!

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
5.0
"There's nowhere in existence you could go that I wouldn't find you, Violence."
I knew this book was raved about but man did it exceed my expectations. I love that we have a heroine that is given a chronic illness and shows that you are perfect as you are. Violet has grit and tenacity, she does not balk at her fears instead she uses them to push her. I absolutely adore Violets relationship with Tairn and Andarna. I can't wait to hear more about Andarnas growth and powers in the next book. Speaking of relationships....Xaden the shadow wielding badass quickly shows he is willing to do whatever it takes to protect Violet. Enemies to lovers is my favorite trope and this book played out spectacularly. If you are a fan of fantasy, strong FMC, enemies to lovers, touch her and die, slow burn then this book is for you.
