This was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions. It had redemption, uncovering family secrets, enemies causing rifts, and lots of drama. 
It's a dangerous life they are all involved in, but it shows the lengths they go to for the ones they love.
I liked that Emilio and Beth got another change for love, but the ending felt realistic to the characters although bittersweet. 

This was a great mix of forbidden love, secret desires, and fighting against her family's expectations. It's a mafia romance filled with angst, drama and passion, with some creative twists and a tense ending.

A thrilling combination of secret societies, political intrigue, high stakes plotting, forbidden magic, chaotic powers, and a powerful female assassin finding her place in the world and uncovering the truth of her life.
Catherine has many aliases, she can charm, spy and kill, she is a weapon to be used, loyal to her sisterhood and it is all she has ever known. Until she starts to unravel hidden truths on her latest mission and realises her life and that of her sisters isn't what she believed. 
With magical threats, schemes for power, new allies, and conflict and corruption, she must learn who can be trusted, and who should be saved.
This is a dark and deadly world filled with manipulation, oppression, and violence, and a layered plot of morally grey and intriguing characters, magic systems, and hidden agendas.
I enjoyed the mystery, action, and twists, especially the final few chapters, interested to see what trouble Rin gets into next.

I loved seeing the emotional turmoil Rose goes through by suspecting her husband, hating him and wanting this new version of him. She's constantly conflicted by knowing their past, seeing his suspicious behaviour, but liking his passionate personality. 
I enjoyed seeing Levi's history unfold and the way he adapts to his new life. 
His dark secrets and night activities were both heroic and deranged. 
Overall despite the dark themes it's a lovely story that unfolds, and a pairing of souls.

This is the second book in the fated souls series and follows Ava's best friend Kayleigh who is a university student, and the beta of the pack - Kayden. 
Kayleigh is completely unaware of the paranormal world or that her best friend and everyone around them are secretly shifters, all she knows is she is there to support her best friends pregnancy, and she needs to avoid Kayden the handsome guy she's hopelessly drawn too but keeps embarrassing herself infront of. Meanwhile Kayden is confused why he can hear Kayleigh's thoughts even though she isn't his mate or a wolf, but he is also drawn to her, protective, and can't help but flirt, tease and please her. 
The story is filled with a steamy slow burn romance, flirty banter, a sweet and healing partnership, and some paranormal surprises. It's also a journey of self healing, patience, acceptance and regaining confidence.
Kayleigh's ex is a walking red flag, there's pack drama which causes emotional turmoil, its light on the worldbuilding and instead focusses on the romantic journey, the passion, and their internal struggles, and it has a hea.

🐺 "I want the struggles. I want the pain. I want all of it, as long as it means I get to have you"
🐺 "I can't fucking breathe without you"

This is a great sci-fi novella, packed with action, scheming, conflict, and twists. I loved the idea of a species Aggression index and how humans were underestimated. It's a thought provoking read that touches on humanities need for conflict, but having matured enough to be a peaceful species lying dormant in the background until a galactic threat emerges. I enjoyed the touches of humour and the range of characters. 
For a short book a lot happens but it's well paced, explores multiple POV, and contemplates themes of morality, genocide, alien invasion, political uprising, and alliances.
Would definitely recommend.

This was a charming Roman adventure, with a pair of friends travelling across the world together attempting to translate ancient texts and contemplate astronomy, science and legends to uncover an ancient mystery of the stars. 
On their adventures they come under attack, distract enemies with creative inventions, make new allies, meet royalty, and grow closer together.
It's a delightful historical adventure with a touch of political drama, action, mystery and a building romance, and takes you back in time to experience their immersive journey. 
Hero and Lucia are characters you can't help but root for, and I enjoyed the cultural education aspects and the attention to detail. 

A cute little snowed in romance novella, with second chance love, forced proximity bonding and some steamy chemistry. I liked the tension as they're stuck together, but how they slowly fall for each other and get their hea.
