Social media convinced me this one was going to give me the creeps… but I think I ended up with more questions than nightmares. The atmosphere? Unsettling. The isolation? Loved it. The ending? I’m still trying to figure out what the heck happened. 😂 Not a bad read, but definitely not the spooky

⭐⭐⭐ 3 Stars | Caught Up by Navessa Allen After loving Lights Out, I had high hopes for this one! Unfortunately, it just didn’t hit the same. The spice was there, but the chemistry, character development, and humor I loved so much in the first book? Not so much. 😅 Sometimes all the spice in th

Came for the gorgeous cover art, stayed for the beautifully twisted story. Dark, atmospheric, and unsettling, but also so much more than just horror. Underneath it all is a story about love, grief, trauma, and the things we struggle to let go of. And that ending?! Still trying to wrap my head aroun

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 4 Stars Creepy kids, unsettling drawings, dark secrets, and a plot twist that absolutely pulled the rug out from under me! I thought I had this one figured out. Spoiler alert: I DID NOT. 😅 A few loose ends and a rushed ending kept it from being a 5-star read, but I love a thril

Bloodguard by Cecy Robson | ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Blood, brutality, betrayal, and political corruption? SIGN ME UP! Unfortunately, while the battles delivered, the romance and emotional depth left me wanting more. All that bloodshed and chaos, and somehow I still needed MORE. The action kept me enterta

Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 5 STARS! Holy hell, THIS is how you write dark fantasy! A thick boy that had absolutely no business being this impossible to put down. Brutal, emotional, beautifully written, and packed with twists that left me questioning my sanity. Ea

📖 A Ruin of Roses | K.F. Breene ⭐ 3/5 Stars Shock value? Check. Weird humor? Check. Every scandalous trope imaginable? Also check. Unfortunately, actual depth and believable chemistry seem to have missed the invitation. Three stars because I’m apparently feeling generous today. 💀 💬 H

This book had EVERYTHING!! An enemy I hated to no end, a slow burn that was finally fulfilled, an FMC who was beaten down over and over but finally started stepping into her power, a dark and grumpy MMC who is absolutely chef’s kiss… seriously, Slade is such a softy for Auren while remaining co

Y’all… this book catfished me in the best possible way. 😂 That cover had me expecting a warm, cozy witchy read, but The Bane Witch was dark, suspenseful, and packed with murder, mystery, and magic. It blended witchcraft with a thriller so seamlessly that I absolutely devoured it. What really sto

Glint had absolutely no business being this addictive considering the entire book is basically Auren being held hostage in a freezing camp while she plots her escape with a big, broody commander watching her every move… and yet I devoured every single page in a couple of days. The writing in thi

This was my first Riley Sager book, & unfortunately it didn’t quite hit for me. The biggest challenge was the pacing. A large portion of this story revolves around a car ride, so do with that information what you will. I found it slow and struggled to stay fully invested for much of the

This was a quick, spicy read that tackled emotional abuse and narcissistic relationships through the eyes of a woman slowly realizing she deserves better. As someone who’s been through a relationship like that myself, I appreciated what the author was trying to do. That said, I struggled with the F

This was an absolute wild ride! This book grabs you with the insanity from page one and never lets up. The entire concept is completely ridiculous, bizarre, and over-the-top! The creativity in this story is unreal. I can honestly say I’ve never read anything quite like it. As someone who isn’t a

Sap & Secrets was such a fun, cozy small town romance & honestly a refreshing change from my usual dark, broody, morally gray men. Jasper was such a sweet golden retriever MMC & I really enjoyed his energy throughout the story. The town itself felt lively with a cast of quirky character

The Burdened Rose was a much slower read for me compared to book one. This one is very heavy on the training, strategizing, and “preparing for war” side of the story, and I definitely struggled at times to keep my attention locked in because of the pacing. BUT the slow burn?? The tension?? The y

This was such a fun palate cleanser from the fantasy, horror, and dark books I normally gravitate toward. The grumpy cowboy trope? Absolutely my thing. 🤠✨ The enemies-to-lovers setup started off strong and I was HERE for the banter and tension, but for me it shifted a little too quickly into ins

War & Lies dropped me straight into absolute chaos and I ate it up. A human FMC thrown into the middle of a war surrounded by demons, vampires, shifters, betrayal, and people she absolutely cannot trust? Say less. This book constantly kept me guessing because literally NO ONE was safe. Ever

This book is not for the faint of heart. Not even a little. This is pitch black, no light at the end of the tunnel, no moral cushion, no soft landing. Just straight descent into something deeply disturbing… so seriously…check your trigger warnings, because oof doesn’t even begin to cover it.
