Book Review: How to Marry Keanu Reeves In 90 Days by K.M. Jackson

My 💭:⠀So this book started out strong for me, but Lu started to get on my last nerves as the story progressed. True was sweetheart who could be a little bit of a doormat at times when it came to Lu. There was a lot of internal dialogue and that started to get on my nerves. I did like that […]

Book Review: Well Played by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

This post contains affiliate links. My 💭:⠀Let me say start my review by saying that after reading this book peach cobbler will never be the same. 😏⠀The tension and chemistry between Levi and Presley was next level. You could feel it oozing off the pages. Levi was more than a superstar athlete and I loved seeing the vulnerable side of […]

Book Review: The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse

My 💭:I wanted to read this book because there used to be a tuberculosis sanatorium here in the 1900’s. When I was in high school we took a trip to it as well. From the moment I started this story to the very end I was hooked. It’s been a long time since I actually stayed up late to read […]

Book Review: For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing

Thank you NetGalley for my review copy. My 💭: Teddy was an absolute mess. He really didn’t see anything wrong with his actions and the way he justify them had me snickering and rolling my eyes. I haven’t read a twisted character like Teddy in a long time and it was fun! I have a new love for dark academia […]

Book Review: How To Find A Princess by Alyssa Cole

My 💭:I had such high hopes for this book after loving “How To Catch A Queen” and sadly this book just didn’t work out in my favor. I had a hard time connecting to the story as it went on and felt like it was just dragging and dragging. I would have also liked to see how the couple adapted […]

Book Review: The Aristocrat by Penelope Ward

This post contains affiliate links. My thoughts: “Make no mistake…” His eyes bore into mine. “My entire world is you, Felicity. Without you, I have nothing.” *Swoons* Felicity and Leo had a very interesting first encounter and after that I knew this book was going to be good read! I saw a lot of myself in Felicity when it comes […]

Book Review: The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglass

Thank you Penguin Teen for my review copy. My thoughts: Black queer boy who can see ghosts? Say no more! This book talks about the struggles of being a Black gay boy and how that is frowned upon in the community due to toxic masculinity. You can’t call yourself a man if you’re gay. Jake suffered racism and micro-aggressions from the white people at his school especially since […]

Book Review: The Therapist by B.A. Paris

This post contains affiliate links. My thoughts: The book had a slow start for me, but eventually it started to pick up and I became invested. I thought I had the book figured out in one area, but I was wrong so that was a nice surprise. I didn’t guess the killer correctly either which is another good thing. Nothing […]
