Historia
On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is. Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe.

SPOILERS!!!
I truly don’t understand the hype around this book. It had the potential to be great, but there were far too many issues for me to overlook and fully enjoy its strengths. The MMC is a walking red flag. Worse than most in the enemies-to-lovers trope. His actions and mindset are so irredeemable that it’s completely unrealistic the female main character would fall for him.
His entire motivation? He wants to commit genocide against all witches because of a very traumatic experience with ONE witch. Did he have every right to take revenge on that particular witch? Absolutely. But wiping out an entire group? That’s beyond extreme.
I had to speed up to 3.5x just to get through it because, honestly, listening to it felt like a form of torture. And since I can’t DNF books, I powered through but it was rough. And it had nothing to do with the menstrual blood.
Overall, a frustrating read, and yes, I will side-eye anyone who gushes over this book.

Historia
I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae. But of course, there’s a catch - all I have to do to claim my birthright is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true, as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.

Performance was great. This book is NOT for everyone. This is a bully romance through & through.
Revisado: 02-07-25
Story is juvenile. Characters are horrible. Bullying is extremely harsh. No romance. No chemistry even. It’s not for me.
Performance was good though.

Historia
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Great narration! Finally a Romantacy where the FMC isn’t completely annoying.
Revisado: 01-13-25
Narrators were awesome! World building is interesting. Spice is 🌶️🌶️🌶️. FMC isn’t utterly annoying like many are in this genre. The MMC is okay. I thought he was a little too rude in the beginning. The story does feel like it began as ACOTAR fan fiction but it’s entertaining nonetheless. Side characters (aka Carrion Swift) are some of the best parts of this novel. I’ll definitely listen/read the next book in this series once it’s released.

Historia
For ten years, I lived in a gilded cage inside King Midas's golden castle. One night changed everything. Now I'm here, a prisoner of Fourth Kingdom's army, and I'm not sure if I'm going to make it out of this in one piece. They're marching to battle, and I'm the bargaining chip that will either douse the fire or spark a war.

Female characters are annoying, especially the FMC. Book 2 doesn’t have as much torture porn as the rest in this series.
Revisado: 01-12-25
The female narrator’s voice wasn’t to my liking; it felt a bit too fluttery and overly dramatic at times, which made it challenging for me to fully enjoy her performance. Especially when she voices Queen Malina. It also doesn’t help that the FMC is unbelievably annoying — so weak, stupid, pathetic, and brainwashed that it’s almost completely insufferable. She gets better in the following books but it takes a long time. The only really respectable female character that doesn’t grate on my nerves is Lu. I wouldn’t shed a single tear if any other females in this book died. I found that increasing the playback speed to at least 1.2 improved my listening experience. On the other hand and as always, I loved Anthony Palmini’s narration.
The story itself is somewhat creative and unique, though some plot points felt a bit predictable. I recommend checking the trigger warnings beforehand to ensure the content aligns with your preferences. The torture porn seems to decrease a bit in the second book compared to the first but ramps back up in the following books. Best spice is in books 3 & 4. This series is exhausting, so just prepare yourself!!

Fun, Regency rom-com. Spicy scenes did NOT disappoint.
Revisado: 08-02-24
The narrator was fantastic, I just had to increase the speed as the talking was a bit too slow for me to follow. Once I did that, I was fully engaged with the story. Awesome debut novel!! Can’t wait for the next one in the series!!
