My October Reads 🕯️🎃

I read 5! Books in October and here are my ratings:

one dark window ~ 5/5 babes ⭐️ can’t wait to read the next!

two twisted crowns ~ 4/5 ⭐️ Love the writing by the author. Love the characters and their development from the first book. The storyline was had me captive and the ending was perfect. -1 star because I thought some chapters were drawn out or boring BUT still good. Elm and Nightmare are my fav 🤍

gorgeous monster ~ 5/5 ⭐️ Was recommended by a coworker so I had to read it. Honestly, the best mafia book I’ve read… I usually find them cringe. This wasn’t too bad and for that 5 stars. Also, a quick read and took less than a day. Not sure I’m interested in continuing the series 🤔 but we will see!

gorgeous prince ~ 3/5 ⭐️ just not as good as the first tbh but was entertained

gold ~ 4/5 ⭐️ Amazing book but for some reason this took me way too long to finish. I hate when series start introducing too many POVs for more drama. It makes it difficult for me to want to continue reading. But still great book! I was lowkey shipping Wick and Auren so the end of chapter 52 made me gasp 🫢 so many good relationships formed in this book!

Finishing this before I start any October reads.
Finishing Binding 13 before I start any October reads, it’s one of those that I wanna finish so badly but the “Shannon” - “Johnny” povs being almost the same are a bit annoying. But I’m getting thru it and into it the more I read. #books #kindle #paperbackbooks #ereaders #septemberreadin
