I‘m impulsively giving this #audiobook a try. Maybe I heard about this author here? Anyhoodle…ironically I tend to read less during my summer vacation (which starts next Friday). Maybe this year I will break that trend. I‘m lurking. I‘m not really posting reviews. Just existing..but like bad just existing, more like enjoying some mental quiet and silence and not really needing to post here or anywhere.

Only 60 pages in, but it feels like I found a hidden gem here. I stumbled across this series last night and can't put book 1 down. I'm enthralled with the gritty portrayal of an alternate world where cryptids live among us, but after an event called The Reaping, are now feared and have been reduced to abused carnival attractions.

The Bone Witch | Ivy Asher

I‘m working on playing catch up with my subscription books. Just finished this series a little while ago and absolutely loved it. My only complaint was that I wished there was even more bone magic than what we got. I loved the relationship and how Lennox held Rogan accountable for his actions.

Started this because I love the tagline ("be gay, solve crime, take naps") and it all sounded fun (and of course it's on my #BookSpinBingo card), but I'm not entirely sure if it's for me. Not sure what's bothering me, just... vibes. I'm cognisant that it's longer than 400 pages, so I might just be getting daunted due to most of my reading being significantly shorter than that. Silly, but it's a thing that does happen to me these days.

I expected a light read about a small town & their amateur detective who is a librarian with some supernatural elements. Which is what I got but with a twist thrown in. An enjoyable read, really loved the cat.

Sweep in Peace | Ilona Andrews

Dina hosts a (not so peaceful) peace summit at the inn.

Honestly this series is so odd. I like Dina. Andrews always do a good job with their FMCs (not pushovers, but not bristly for no reason, never the sole powerful female, never a Mary Sue, like actual people but with powers) I‘m not 1000% sold on it exactly but I‘m left pretty curious. The chef made this one for me.

willaful It really is! I love their books but didn't like this one and stalled on the series. I just read the graphic novel versions of the first book with the thought of maybe restarting but the mix of science fiction and urban fantasy is just so strange. 2d

5feet.of.fury @willaful alien werewolves, inter-dimensional travel, vampire knights… it‘s a lot. 😂 2d
