Victorian Psycho | Virginia Feito
Pickpick

This book, while dark and definitely gruesome in many parts, was also written really well and was absolutely hilarious throughout most of the book. I read this one in one sitting and I really enjoyed the writing style of the author and how the whole book took on an almost poetic feel due to the descriptions and language that was used. Definitely an amazing horror book, and one I will read again.

AHHH how are you going to give me an ending like that and then EXPECT ME TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK?! This series has quickly joined the list of favorites I seem to keep finding lately.

Iron Flame | Rebecca Yarros

Mira's reaction to finding everything out....honestly fair. I honestly expected her to hurt Violet along with Brennan.....or at least scream at.

Book 2, time to find out how SOMEONE is still alive....

Fourth Wing | Rebecca Yarros

“There is no rule that says a dragon cannot modify their seat to serve their rider. You have worked just as hard - if not harder - than every rider in this quadrant. Just because your body is built differently than the others doesn't mean you don't deserve to keep your seat. It takes more than a few strips of leather and a pommel to define a rider“

-WE ARE BUILT DIFFERENTLY, NOT INCORRECTLY! 🤘-

I understand that being an inntinnsic is illegal because it is so dangerous, I get that...but damn, being under a death sentence because of magic the dragon gave you....that's nuts....

“This place cuts away the bullshit and the niceties, revealing whoever you are at your core.” I repeat his words from this summer. “Isn‘t that what you said to me? Is this who you really are at your core? Someone so enamored with rules that he doesn‘t know when to bend or break them for someone he cares about? Someone so focused on the least I‘m capable of doing, he can‘t believe I can do so much more?”

“'You'd rather I die, no doubt,' I fire back, the side of my face pressed into the mat. This isn't just painful, It's humiliating.
'And be denied the pleasure of your company?' he mocks.
'I fucking hate you' The words are past my lips before I can shut my mouth.
'That doesn't make you special.“

Reading this one again because I decided to annotate my book before starting Iron Flame!

Soul of a Witch | Harley Laroux
Pickpick

This was the PERFECT ending to this amazing trilogy. I loved how the story was written, allowing us to see every angle to the story, rather than just one person's. This was awesome and I will be definitely looking for more of Harley Laroux's books, because they might just be one of my favorite authors!

blurb
Belladonnaslibrary
Soul of a Witch | Harley Laroux

It's really cool seeing the story from the point of view of 3 different couples, everything happening at once so you have a hint of what may be coming up, but you don't have the FULL story until the end. This series is awesome and I'm glad I got it!!

Her Soul for Revenge | Harley Laroux
Pickpick

This trilogy is AMAZING. This series continuation was spicy as hell (heh), made Hell look fun, and was definitely more gruesome than the first book in it's descriptions, though not in a better or worse way. I love how this author gets into their characters and really shows how far they are willing to go to survive and protect their own. Fantastic second book, excited to start the third, thank goodness I have it!

The Memory Library | Kate Storey
Mehso-so

This story was cute and very heartfelt, and the book was very well written, however as much as I wanted this book to be gripping...for me it wasn't. Very good story, very well written, just not my thing personally as far as feelings and topics.

This book was an amazing read! The God makes me think of Cthulhu and I can't seem to get that image out of my head as Rae faces him.
The spicy scenes were....whoooo spicy and I enjoyed every second of reading them...
I am so glad I have the other two books in the series because I think it would be amazing to learn about the other demons and their humans

Starting completely over since I kinda went off on a different book tangent the last time I was reading these and stopped about 5 chapters in, maybe, going again :D

Hooked | Emily McIntire
Pickpick

I wasn't expecting to like this one as much as I did, being someone who usually likes more historical novels...but oh my goodness I was hooked (hahah) from the first page! This book was amazing and having an epilogue AND AN EXTENDED epilogue made my nerdy little heart amazingly happy.

blurb
Belladonnaslibrary
Hooked | Emily McIntire

Is it terrible that I know that Hook's morals, or lack thereof, won't ever change but it doesn't affect how deeply he falls for Wendy? He's a villain, a bad guy, but he loves her with everything he is.....or he will if this goes how my brain says it will.

Picked this one up on a whim and now don't want to have to wait for the next two books in this series. I loved this book so much and I am having a hard time making my thoughts make sense for a proper review, so instead I will just say this book was AMAZING and as soon as the next comes out, I will be right there to get it.

Reckoning | Kate Cary

“Across the room, Rosemary gasped. She ran toward father.
'No! No, please,' she begged. 'Not my daughter!'
Quick as a flash, Mother crossed the room. She held Rosemary back, laughing cruelly. 'You little fool, the moment you came here, both of your children belonged to the house of Dracul.'“

It's heartbreaking to see the moment when Rosemary realizes she's not only damned her own soul, but those of BOTH of her children as well...

Time to begin book 2. I love that my first autumn books were Dracula theme/based/etc. Makes my gothic little heart so happy!

Bloodline | Kate Cary
Pickpick

This book, just like the first time I read it, is phenomenal and having the story of Dracula continue on in this way is fascinating to me. I do love the second book in this series, though the first really draws a bridge between the classic novel and this author's version of a continuation.
I did have a few questions at the end of the book, but I also know the story continues in the next, so those questions may get answered still.

“There is something delicious in beginning a new book, even in such circumstances: the creak of the spine bent back or the first time; the pure, fresh whiteness of the topmost page. Only my ink shall stain it. What stories might it contain by its end?”

Black Knight | Christopher Pike

The ending of this book made it all worth it. My questions were all answered and yet the end leaves room for major interpretation as well as more stories. I wish there were more books in this series to find out what happens to everyone else...

blurb

Black Knight | Christopher Pike

A little confused on how dreams work with the witches going to sleep and ending up in Witch World. How is Jessie dreaming of Marc when she should just go to sleep and end up in WW....right? Does she just have memories of a dream when she comes back to the real world?

Belladonnaslibrary and answered my own question later....it\'s not just when they sleep...it\'s like time travel and only a very short 2.5 minutes when they go from one world to the other at the time they go, then they live like...the same day in both worlds. (cause it\'s the same date) 2mo

Witch World | Christopher Pike
Pickpick

Honestly, I have been obsessed with Christopher Pike's books for a long time, so when I found out that I could get the second book of this series, I needed to read this one again.

Christopher Pike wrote another FANTASTIC supernatural story in Witch World, and he did it in an extremely unique way. I love it and can't wait to read the next book!
