This book was a masterpiece! This book added onto the world building that was set up in the first book so well, but also I loved how this book dove more into Alaric and Talasyn. This book truly sees these two go through a lot together. They are working to make the tenuous alliance they have work, while also fighting their true feelings for each other. Talasyn is also learning so much more about her magic, and everything is in high tension around them as they work to save everyone. The main thing I will say that stuck out as to why I loved this so much was the true emotion you can feel radiating off of these two the entire book. Whether it’s anger or passion, or a mixture or the two, these characters and their emotions come to life on the page.

This was a perfect follow up to Yours For the Taking! I loved the dual timeline and multiple POV aspect of this. I also loved seeing some characters from the first book and finding out more about the background of the world. This is such a unique climate change science fiction book and I think it is so realistic because it truly exposed how humans can be motivated by greed or by love. I really really loved this one!

Nick and Noel's Christmas Playlist by Codi Hall

This was very cute! I love friends to lovers so so much and this one was well done. I did feel like there were some parts that could’ve been a little shorter, and I didn’t love Noel punching two people, but besides that this was a good one!
