Fake relationship trope never gets old

Revisado: 06-15-22

I can totally see why some people don’t like the ‘mean’ lead. He’s got some sick burns in this book 🔥 There must be something wrong with me because I liked him a lot. I actually thought their relationship seemed pretty genuine in a lot of scenes too. But definitely agree about the rough start. Got to power through to get to the juicy stuff.

Action from Page to Page

Revisado: 04-25-22

Twisted Pretty Things was an enjoyable, cozy-thriller. A few dark themes sprinkled throughout as well.

The book definitely felt like an introduction to the series because there’s still so much to learn about the characters and magic system in order to make me REALLY love them (which I always do when I’m glued to the final pages of Ariana Nash’s books ha!) I’m hoping the next book in the series will examine the magic system in depth because I’m a nerd like that.

Overall, TPT is full of action, mystery, and varying (frustrating) degrees of sexual tension lol. On to book two ~

Finally, Cornell Collins … WOW. What a rockstar. Utterly gripping!


PS: As an American who used to boil water in the microwave, I feel that Dom would be proud that I now own an electric kettle 😂

Fate vs Free Will…but Make it Epic

Revisado: 10-06-21

*cracks knuckles* Here we go!

Dark Rise is working to setup the foundations for the rest of the trilogy. The pacing started a little slow for me, but having read the Captive Prince series this was within expectations. I personally started to get jazzed and couldn’t stop listening around the mid-point. As far as Pacat’s trademark plot twists, they’re there but perhaps a little more obvious (maybe I just read too much dark fantasy lol.)

The multiple character POVs threw me off a little bit. I happen to be the kind of reader to prefer one POV, so that’s probably why the storyline was occasionally a little jerky for me. In any case, the characters are all pretty enticing and each have interesting backgrounds with the potential for badassery. I’m straight up living for the devious secrets and reveals forthcoming. 😈 Pacat did not disappoint in that category (Shocking absolutely no one.)

Shoutout to the narrator, Christian Coulson also! He was great and easy to listen to.

So. Real talk. I’m kind of hoping this someday leads to a final Narnia/LOTR-esque epic battle in some fantasy field somewhere because that’s the vibe I’m getting from this. And I could want for nothing more.

Joel Leslie & Lily Morton The Ultimate Combo

Revisado: 09-15-21

I’ve listened to the Mixed Signals series and the Finding Home series by The same author and I swear Joel Leslie was made to read Lily Morton’s novels. He breathes life into the characters and makes side characters more lovable. I also love that I can always differentiate who is speaking based on his accents/emphasis for various characters.

This book was so different from her previous works. I was picking up what she was putting down with all her hints about the nature of what’s going on in the house, but I was still surprised by the ‘Edgar Allen Poe’ type details. I totally loved it as it created more spooky suspense than I’m used to with her writing. I’m happy there’s already a sequel because I’m about to go buy it ☠️


York is now on my bucket list. The way Lily describes the atmosphere is so eerie, yet ‘small town friendly’ and I like the setting almost as much as the characters this go around. And holy wow do I love the ghost tour ‘meet cute’ ha!
