The Villains Beast By Kate Hawthorne

Home before dark by Riley Sager

So I just finished this and it was so good! It was my first thriller. I’ve been wanting to branch out and try new genres and I’m glad I liked it.

I thought I knew where things were heading so many times only to be thrown for a loop.

The ending was enough of a surprise that it was enjoyable even though I guessed some of it before the end. I like that though, it was done in a way where it was satisfying to see the crumbs about the truth throughout. I’m of the opinion that a plot twist is more satisfying when there is clear foreshadowing especially when you look back and it can still come as a shock when you get to it.

Have any of you read it? Thoughts?

Also, what are some good thriller or mystery books I should check out next?

Today is the day!

See you on the other side🫡

Book Rec - The Renegades Series by Cara Dee

The renegade series by Cara Dee

I just read through the whole series in like three days. I couldn’t put them down. Cara has a way of making me care deeply about her characters. They’re become so real to me.

If you love a good steamy M/M romance with a good dose of action on the side, this series is for you.

All the feels. All the excitement. All the love.

I’m obsesses with her BDSM series which was how I was introduced to her writing and I’m now branching out to her other books. I want to read them all. Everything I’ve read from her so far has been great.

Have you read this series yet?

Have you read other books from Cara Dee? If you have which is your favorite?

The kiddo’s have been hit hard with a stomach bug, and with me having emetophobia it’s been a rough week. Luckily I have a husband who handles it all really well and I do what I can with taking care of other things in the house and stuff.

Been doing a bit of rereads for comfort which is nice, a good distraction.

And I’ve also been listening to fantasy fangirls pod to keep myself distracted, trying not to panic over who’s going to get sick next and when.

So I just finished Heat of the Everflame…. Wtf? Just happened?😂 I’m so confused by the ending. Like where was the loophole? I can’t wait for the next book!

Ridoc is precious and must be protected at all costs!🥺❤️

Anyone else feel so hard for Ridoc when he felt the need to mention twice that just because he's the "funny friend" it doesn't make him any less capable for standing for the squad and also doesn't make him any less smart?

It actually absolutely broke me both the times he mentioned it

The Graham Effect by Elle Kennedy

I devoured this in like two days. It was a great read and I love that it was more about the couple growing as people together and that the problems were mostly external. Like no stupid third act breakup just for the sake of it like I feel like too many romance books do.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fun to get the little cameos from the OG generation too.

Also, Ryder was top tear! I’m obsessed with him. He’s just my type of book guy.

I had like one thong that annoyed me, which was the fight between Gigi and Ryder where she pushed him to talk about why he was upset and he didn’t want to and then she proceeded to not tell him why she was upset. Like he’d snapped at her which he apologised for, but she was still angry with him for not opening up and just expecting him to know that was the reason she was mad.

She should’ve just communicated that to him. Like dude, come on. She knows he’s not a talker. That he’s not used to sharing shit. Don’t expect him to be a mind reader.

The talk he had with his teammates girlfriend should have been had with Gigi.

But other than that I didn’t have any major annoyances or anything.

I just get frustrated when there’s poor communication😅

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

Can we talk about Feyre walking around, for weeks, thinking she was alone and there were fairies all over the place and no one told her?😂

Just finished Meetings That Start In The Dark by writingamarie on ao3 and now I don’t know what to do with my life😭

Fourth Wing and Iron Flame was definitely the highlight of the month for me, with parts of us a close second.

But I had a great time with all the books I read for sure.
