GIVE ME ALL THE TRIGGER WARNINGS

I liked it, but I didn't love it as much as I hoped I would. I love Egyptian Archeology and was really excited when I came across this one. It just didn't put me into the world of Ancient Egypt. It's not a bad book at all. It just didn't capture my attention like I had hoped.

I am currently trying to push through book 2 and give it a chance.

This is my favorite book of 2025. It was beautiful, and at this point, I'll read anything Rachel Gillig will feed me.

The whole mood is gothic and haunted. It's so beautiful. I was brought to actual tears.

"You want to throw me down. And I, prideful, disdainful, godless, want to drag you into the dirt with me."

I've been in a reading slump for over a month, and this bad boy pulled me out. I enjoyed it very much.

If you are like me, and love Harry Potter + Fourth Wing.. this book will scatch those itches. I ate this one up and am begging for more. Seriously. Where is book two? 😂

Rhodes and Scarlett had me kicking my feet and squealing. I loved the magical elements. It has a War College, overcoming trauma, dragons, betrayal, and a plot twist, even i couldn't see coming.

AMAZING WORLD BUILDING. The way she explains the afterlife may have healed me. It was so beautiful. The storyline had me laughing and brought me to tears several time.

This goes on the list called, "if I could erase my memory and read it again for the first time."

Friends to lovers with a hot demon of hell. The smut was sooooooo good. Spice aside, the whole story of Lily and Sharky hurt my own soul. I hope there will be a second book to continue their story.

"Everyone in the mortal world had made such a fuss about finding someone you were willing to die for, and there was a dramatic power to that, she supposed. But finding someone you were willing to live for? To fall in love with over and over through lifetimes, or to love for the whole of an eternity? She'd take that kind of love any day."

I really like this one. It's a serial killer thriller, not a dark romance. A good cleanser for ny Fantasy Reading slumo. I enjoyed that it was based in Texas. Good plot twists. 5/5.

We went all the way back to enemies after the events of The Bridge Kingdom. As Aren should have. His treatment still hurt my feeling hahah. This book was just as good as the first, if not better. I'm sad it's over.

"Forgive her. She loves you."

"She doesn't know what love is."

"That's why you should forgive her."

A fun little Reverse Harem with a Valkerie, Loki, Thor, Baldor, and Hod.

I love me anything Loki, especially if there is smut. 😏

It's a series that I'll finish later in the year.

"I’d like to tell you that I died in epic fashion, guns blazing in the middle of a vast street brawl, or at least something scandalously hot, like falling off a balcony during the most incredible sex of my life. The truth? My death was cringingly mundane."

I am already on book two (The Traiter Quee ), not even one minute after finishing book one. That is how good this series is. Laura, the FMC is a total bad ass. The plot, the world building, enemies to lovers *chefs kiss*. I would go to war for Aren. The longing and slow burn. This book is everything I love.

If I can convince you to read one book this year, let it be this one. Slow burn aside, it is the plot and monsters that make this book. Strong FMC, who is not afraid to ask questions... so many questions. More than one plot twist. I actually lost count.

This is my favorite book of 2025.

"Praise is for the bedroom, Cross. Not the training ring."

The slowest burn, but well worth the wait with all the plot twists at the end! I am so glad I gave it a chance. My emotions and shock were all over the place with the last 10 chapters. Even i felt betrayed. As always, I love me a baddie for an FMC. Cannot wait to start book two.

Spoilers:

This is NOT a HEA, and Ariel Anderson needs to pay for my therapy.

Holy shit I'm broken. I'll probably be in a reading slump after what I just went through.

I won't say much here, I want everyone to read this book and be gutted like I am. It started out with my favorite: masked stalker serial killer? Yes please 😏... but not even half way through the book... I was crying... and didn't stop crying. Even the damn Epilogue!

This was fun! I went with the audio book because work has been crazy and it kept my attention. It was like Hunger Games but with the Gods. I laughed, I cried, I devoured it in 2 days. I'm definitely picking up book two when it's released.

"The gods love to toy with us mere mortals. And every hundred years…we let them."
