kit and julia were best friends growing up. on a dare, they got their tarot reading and found out they’re twin flames. and right before they go away to college, julia admitted she loves kit. and kit freaks out and ghosts. now several years later, julia is a wedding planner for a remote wedding in the dessert, and kit is the tarot entertainment and what follows is a super sweet story of the two of them finding their way back to each other.
i adored this book so much. julia was so strong and knew herself and what she wanted. kit was slowly learning and gaining confidence to be who she is and to love out loud. the premise was super fun and I’m realizing I love a chaotic wedding as a backdrop for a love story (see: the ex vows and tell me not).
my one problem with this is a common thing that happens in queer love stories: third act coming out drama. it’s very specific to queer stories and I just wish there was another way authors would set up a third act craziness. it really cheapens the story for me.

Deadly trials of hell, a witch out to save her sister, and a mysterious ghost bargain made for one hell of a book.
When Ophelia’s mother dies, her andDeadly trials of hell, a witch out to save her sister, and a mysterious ghost bargain made for one hell of a book.
When Ophelia’s mother dies, her and her sister, Genevieve, need a way to pay off her debt. And when Ophelia realizes that her dear sister ran off to phantasma- the trials of hell- to do so, she does what big sisters do and goes after her.
But Ophelia needs help to survive, so she enters a blood bargain with Blackwell, a phantom living in the manor without his memories. And so begins the deadly game.
I started this last night, and could not stop thinking about it. I NEEDED to finish it. Blackwell and Ophelia were addicting af.
I’m a slut for trials, and the stakes were so high in this. I’m not a horror girl, but this book was spooky, gorey, and so much fucking fun.
The plot was engaging, the romance was scorching, and I am thoroughly obsessed.
Ophelia’s character development and strength were soooo good. And I cannot even begin to describe how obsessed I am with Blackwell. His mouth? I’m honestly surprised this is trad pubbed bc holy shit the spice.
I can’t wait for Genevieve’s story!!! I’m counting down the minutes.

This started off great. Right into the action, tension, violence, all good.

I loved the dystopian, villainous religious society that’s the big bad. I even loved Zabriel.
However, Isavelle was insufferable. I understand she has religious trauma and her whole world was uprooted when she realized she was an omega with a fated mate. But girl. Be a little more open-minded? Be a little KINDER????
I’m def curious where this series is going and I’ll try book three but man did I dislike her. ...more

This book teared my heart apart and (mostly) put it back together again. I love these characters, this world, the writing so so much.

Coop, Jace, & El are gonna stick with me for such a long time. Their journey is emotional, angsty, painful, and so so beautiful. I can’t recommend this series enough

marriage of convenience, a hit man x multiple deleter and grumpy x sunshine. by all means I should’ve loved this.
lachlan fell a little short for me. he was incredibly grumpy and I feel like there was a lack of character development for both him and lark. we never got closure for the two of them why she kills people, she never told her best friend WHO HAS LITERALLY KILLED FOR HER??? I just feel a bit underwhelmed with that characters. and for the plot… what plot? the villain was so meh to me. the climax did absolutely nothing for me as compared to b&b (I literally cried ok).
did I have fun? yes. was the slow burn torture? yes. but it didn’t live up to the same love I have for rowan and sloane.
I’m sat between a 3 and 3.5 rn. We’ll see if that sticks ...more

jordan is such a bad ass fmc. she’s strong and sassy, which is my fav. camden is the former playboy turned boy obsessed. he’s also her fiercest protector and I loved that about him. not only is the spice top tier, but there’s mortal peril and a dash of suspense. I ate this up in one sitting and loved every second.
thank you so much for an arc Sloane! I can’t wait for what’s next ...more
