May has been the best month yet 🖤 May quickly became a Dark Romance month, but it also gave me my new TOP read of 2026: The Heartstrings Duet by Liv Zander. It is undoubtedly a top tier read, and yes… you WILL ugly cry. 😭 I’m also in love with the characters from Dance with my Demons and Bla

This trilogy is not talked about enough! If you want dark, unhinged and emotionally damaging? Pick this up NOW! I loved the way the J Rose started concluding the series. Something new and refreshing. Plus, the character arcs were chefs kiss 🤌🏽 #lemon8bookclub #darkromance #blackwoodi

God I’m so sad it’s over…for now I guess 👀 Took a step away from fantasy and dove into this beauty of a dark romance. Each character will make you fall in love with them for their own reason. Especially our girl Avery! Their backstories were well thought out and the overall plot keeps you ho

I’ve probably said it before but I will say it again & again; if you haven’t started the Beasts of the Briar series, you NEED to! Such a good take on a Beauty and the Beast retelling & it just keeps getting better with each book. Which isn’t always easy to find. The attention to deta

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve had The Wolf and the Crown of Blood sitting on my shelf for a bit now, and I’m sad I waited so long to read it! If you are looking for Enemies to Lovers mixed with Gods, you need this on your TBR. I’m waiting anxiously for the sequels! I want to see which side characters

It has arriveddddd 🥹❤️‍🔥 I’m ready to see what happens with our Fury & Dragon 🫣 Let’s see how the twisted sisters create chaos now! #bookclub #bookrelease #bookish #booktok #twistedsisters

So you’ve read Stalked by Seduction and Shadows & were wondering if you should read this next? Absolutely! 👀 I love that we are in the same world as Rune and Scarlett! I was eating up the Easter eggs & now I’m feigning for a 3rd duet! I need some storylines to happen and come full circle

Book Release Day! ✨ So excited to dive back into the Bloodwing Academy; especially how we left off! Blake better get it together 🙄 The book & art, like always are gorgeous! 💕🐉 #booktok #bookish #bloodwingacademy #bookrelease #lemon8bookclub

Whew 😮‍💨 If you like your reads darker, twisted, and plot-heavy, this is your sign. The way the author takes her time with the character development makes the connection to the FMC feel so much deeper. ❤️‍🩹 Our poor girl goes through it! It’s a "stick through the pain" kind of story,

If you haven’t picked this up yet? YOU NEED TO! 🗣️ This has made it to my top reads of the year so far! A modern take of Dracula was EXACTLY what was needed. 🦇 This authors writing style is so satisfying. The details and character growth for a duet was top tier. The twists? Had me on edge, I

I’m antsy & ready to give all my money now that we know release dates are cominggggg! 🗓️ So many questions and theories but honestly I’m just REALLY needing Azriel & Elaine to happen…Lucien has had time 🙄 Tamlin ehhhh I feel like he’s had plenty of chances for redemption at this point

Closing out the month with one of Februarys new releases! Instantly fell in love with the art and sprayed edges but after reading about the tropes? It became a MUST HAVE 👏🏽 - Dark Academia? ✅ - Enemies to lovers? ✅ - Hidden Identity? ✅ Has anyone dove in yet or have this on their tbr?!

Is it even a book club if you don't complain about the last book? 😅 Now with The Female behind us (shame for the demons); we are venturing into good ole Vamps!🩸 A modern Dracula retelling?! How could we not! Who else has read or is reading this? 👀 #booktok #VampireBooks #Dr

What’s more relaxing than iced coffee & new books?✨ Every single one of these is gorgeous! If you aren't reading the Bonded by Thorns series yet, this is your sign to start. It’s so well written, with amazing character development, world building & plot. Don’t let the page count

I am so excited to finally jump into this! It’s been on my TBR since its release, and I’m happy I finally picked it up. I’m a total sucker for anything moody and academic with a side of tension. The gorgeous sprayed edges were just the cherry on top. 💙 I hope it lives up to the hype! ✨ #b

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really wanted to love this one, especial since it was our book club pick and I had seen good reviews, but I have thoughts…The plot was interesting, it’s the only reason we didn’t DNF. But, the ending felt rushed… The MMCs? They were fine! They helped us get through it. But the FMC… C
