Extreme slow burn, this one took me awhile to get into but at the halfway mark something clicked and I was full tilt. Even with a slow start, extremely rich folklore details, excellent Easter eggs of different cultures and their stories. Will be reading the second in this duology!
Tangling with Trolls by Hazel Mack
5.0
While I loved the first in this series, Wren and Ohken were IT for me. Everything about this is *chefs kiss*
Getting It On with Gargoyles by Hazel Mack

Where have I been to not have read ANY of these books? Very cute, very addicting and I’m about to buckle up for all of them.
Venomous Craving by Mary Auclair
3.0
This was a good alien adventure! For once there is not a romance between captive and captor, rather a hand in hand escape plan. TWS for attempted SA and also animal death as well

Bedlam Moon by Kathy Haan

This was an absolute flop for me, in theory ALOT of the things I want out of a book, but the over exaggerated witchy tropes, then lack of chemistry building, and the timelines were confusing. Didn’t slap ☹️

Um this was actually kind of really cute? In a “life post-abduction and starting over on an alien planet with an extraterrestrial hunk” kind of way
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
4.0
What a heavy hitter of a genuine high-fantasy. This has everything but the usual heavy handed gore you find with any fantasy that leans Tolkien-esque, but I feel as though this worked in its favor. For anyone positively sick of fantasy epics that are following European fairytale themes, look no more, this is it.
Fighting Destiny by Amelia Hutchins
4.0
First was a freebie but I really like this! Will be keeping an eye out for sales on the remainder of the series but had a storyline with a real hook that kept me captivated.

I don’t know if it was the FMCs personality or the lack of chemistry from the other MMCs but this one just missed the mark for me, I didn’t find the mystery to solve compelling or enough to sink my teeth into to continue the series.
