feb. book recap💋

all of the books i read in february.

the madison kate series is soo good but very dark romance. enemies to lovers, bad boy love interests, stalker, touch her and you die themes

everything we never said was good, but the ending was partially predictable. not my favorite romantic thriller. really good plot twist though!

... Read moreIn February, I delved into a range of books, focusing on dark romance and thrilling mysteries that kept me on the edge of my seat. The Madison Kate series stood out with its compelling narrative that explores themes of intensity, desire, and danger. Readers will appreciate its intricate character developments, especially the enemies-to-lovers trope that often leads to electrifying scenarios. For those interested in romantic thrillers, 'Everything We Never Said' offered a captivating journey, highlighting the unpredictability of love entwined with suspense. Although I found parts of the conclusion predictable, the book's intriguing plot twist generated sufficient excitement to make it a worthwhile read. If you’re looking to expand your reading list for the upcoming month, consider incorporating titles from these genres. Engage with fellow readers in discussions around these books and more. The hashtags #februarybooks, #febuaryreads, and #darkromancebooks can guide you to vibrant conversations and recommendations within the Lemon8 community. Don’t miss out on this engaging literary exploration!

Books I read in Feb+my rating
February wasn’t as productive (in the reading department) for me but I still enjoyed reading these 4 books. Friendly reminder for me and everyone else that reading a lot or not reading at all doesn’t give you more or less value. Reading should be fun and not a chore✨💗 #lemon8partner #lemo
