Wow. Just WOW. I devoured this in ONE DAY. I could not put it down!

If you're looking for a book to dip your toes into the fantasy realm, but you're not sure if you want all the magic and fae ears ... this is where you should start 100%. The literally first chapter had me like, "OHHHHH OKAY, OKAY, it's like THAT, LARA. OKAAAAYYYY!" πŸ˜‚

Our FMC, Lara, was giving Throne of Glass badass assassin vibes. There wasn't a HUGE amount of world building thrown at you, but you get the perfect amount of details to understand what and why everything is happening. 🀌🏾 Lara, Aren, and Ithicana did NOT disappoint! πŸ‘

This is a VERY slow burn, light spice book, but the romance felt so organic and natural that I didn't mind. The banter was just πŸ€ŒπŸΎπŸ˜‚. This plot was movie worth, IMO.

And that last chapter?! Holy CRAP. Immediately added the next book to my TBR.

The Stars Are Dying


When I tell y'all to run and get this book... RUN AND GET IT NOW. This was one of the best books I've read this year. πŸ˜­πŸ€ŒπŸΎβ™ΎοΈβ­οΈ

This was giving From Blood and Ash meets Crowns of Nyaxia.

It was heartbreaking πŸ’”, inspiring, and full of secrets!

The magic systems and lore based around stars, the moon, and night was probably one of the most unique I've ever read about!

And the TENSIIIIOOOOONNNNN. HomuhGAWD. Some of the BEST slow-burn goodness I have ever read! 🀌🏾😭

Always glad to add another Shadow Daddy to the list and Nyte is up there with Daddy Xaden, mkay?! πŸ₯΅πŸ« 

I was on the edge of my seat through 3/4 of this book and I couldn't GET ENOUGH! I need that next book to drop ASAP! πŸ˜‚

The Leviathan Fitness Series

Welcome to the Leviathan Fitness series! This is a MONSTER ROMANCE series that follows a daughter, a son, and a mother and their relationships that lead them to start a membership of the human/monster gym Leviathan Fitness.

BOOK 1: Muscles and Monsters follows Tegan, a curvy entrepreneur that owns a wedding cake bakery and her immediate attraction to a wolf that owns a gym called LEVIATHAN FITNESS. Tegan decides that instead- she wants to sign up for a membership with Leviathan Fitness, determined to build her strength. Primal desires emerge as Atlas and Tegan test just how much their new love can lift in a journey of self confidence.

BOOK 2: Tentacles and Triathlons follows T3egans Brother, Reece who decides to sign up for a triathlon, but there are two things holding him back. One, his fear of monsters. Two, his sub-par swimming skills. Reece joins Leviathan Fitness to train in the gym’s olympic size swimming pool. After running into Reece at the pool, Cyrus offers to help Reece get ready to win the race. New feelings arise from the depths as Reece and Cyrus learn that monsters and humans go together, tentacle in hand in a journey of breaking generational trauma.

BOOK 3: Mantras and Minotaurs follows Tegan and Reece's mother, Pam who decides to shake things up after her kids leave the nestβ€”she makes two major changes. Starting yoga classes and joining a dating app. After her daughter urges her to connect with other singles, Pam meets a minotaur who is ready to sweep her off her feet.

Alistair Reid is the kind of swoon-worthy monster that every woman dreams of. He’s kind, funny, and a wonderful dad.

The only problem isβ€”they live states apart and have thriving lives of their own.

However, as romance blooms, it becomes harder to envision a future without each other in it. Will Alistair and Pam discover that their hearts can grow together despite the distance between them?

This book felt more YA than Fantasy Romance, but either way .. I ATE IT UP! I love how fast paced this was even if it was a 400 page book. There weren't any slow bits and I was constantly wondering where things could possibly go next!

I thought it was predictable and that I knew what was going on UNTIL I DIDN'T. It was a wild ride and this book delivered.

The entire book had me questioning every one and every thing all the way through the very last page.

I just looooved the tension in our little love triangle between Brie, Bash, and Finn. Y'all already know who I'm rooting for. #shadowdaddy lol

I honestly couldn't put this book down and ran to add the next one to my TBR!

Read this is you enjoyed‡️

I love September because it means we are heading into Spooky Season (MY FAVORITE SEASON), but it still leaves room for summer catch up and softer reading.
