The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith

This is my own fault, but I did not read the summary before reading this. I was not aware this story would be starting off with a sexual assault, and I am not in the right headspace to read this right now. May try to read later.
Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan

I really wanted to like this. I really liked the authors writing style, but I couldn't get myself to root for the characters. It felt like the only thing pulling them together was their sexual chemistry. They don't seem to actually know how to/want to work through their rough patches.
Phantasma by Kaylie Smith
4.75
4.75/5
This book reminds me of a dark version of Caraval. It has the same general plot: the FMC must join a game in order to find her sister, and the winner of the game will receive a wish. Although the same premise, this version is darker and sexier. While Caraval reads as Young Adult, Phantasma is definitely adult. Spicy sex scenes, bloody deaths, and run-ins with demons & ghosts will keep readers on their toes. Highly recommend to romantasy lovers.
Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
