Enemies to Lovers + Dragons = Must Read

Okay, I finally understand the ‘Fourth Wing’ by Rebecca Yarros hype. After finishing this book, I struggled to return to reality, especially after its intense ending. I’ve had this book on my shelf since its release, beckoning me each time I walked past, and I finally made time to read it. Nothing about the story disappointed me, and Violet is one bada$$ FMC who may be fictional, but I’ve adopted her as a daughter, since her mother is horrible to her in this book. (Violet happens to be the same age as my oldest daughter.)

If you enjoy high-stakes Fantasy Romance with a fierce heroine proving she can become a dragon rider and a morally grey hero who starts as her enemy, you’ll love ‘Fourth Wing’.

(My college girl is excited, I’ve finished reading this book, so I can finally pass it down to her. Maybe she’ll get a chance to read it this summer, while she’s on break from college. She has one semester left this fall before earning her Biology degree.)

My Full Review of ‘Fourth Wing’ is on the Blog, Goodreads, and StoryGraph.

What to Expect:

⚡️Fantasy Romance

🔥Enemies to Lovers

⚡️Forced Proximity

🔥Found Family

⚡️Slow Burn

🔥Chronic Illness Representation – EDS
