💜 #bookreview 💜 Read: Jan 6 - 7, 2022 | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ QOTD: do you like darker romances? Is this a dark romance, probably not but it is a darker romance. Best of all? It’s a stand-alone!! 😍 Tricia does it again!!!!!! I am so in love. This is definitely a new favorite of mine. It’s about a 2nd born daughter never getting the attention of love she deserves bc all of her dads focus went into her old sister so she makes her way to being able to be courted with the Shadow King and plans to take over ruling once she’s crowned queen and then she begins to learn more about him and his past. She’s also a bad ass seamstress and isn’t afraid to own her body. Alessandra is a total empowered woman who knows what she wants and goes for it and is unashamed by it! She’s also a totally awesome seamstress. Kallias is the same but male version. 😂 💜Sorta spoilerish He pushed people away because he thought it was best until he meets Alessandra and is infuriated by her actions and he cannot stay away. Seeing their relationship grows is fantastic! I love it so much. The way Kallias treats her too is everything. Her father is trash and her sister is the worst. 😒 I love the group of friends that eventually come together. I also so halfway called it with Leandros!!!!!! 💜Tags #fantasystandalone #fantasybook #theshadowbetweenus #tricialevenseller #romance #bookishflatlay #bookstagram #bookaddictions #booknerd #bookaddict #bookphotography #bookloversofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbaaay0r34H/?utm_medium=tumblr

🌼This book is a twisted spin of the story of Jane Eyre, still dark but with a dash of paranormal, ok, a lot of paranormal. Jane Eyre is an orphan that has lived in an institute with other girls and she has a special gift, she can see ghosts but she keeps it a secret because this has only gotten her in trouble before. Charlotte Bronte is Jane ́s friend and a writer that wishes for adventure more than anything to expand upon the stories that she writes. Alexander Blackwood is an agent of the Society for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits that investigates all the supernatural and is also able to see ghosts. He spots Jane at a pub where she is trying to communicate with a ghost that has been disrupting the bar and he realizes that she is not only a seer but a beacon and she can be an attribute to the Society. Jane is hired a governess at Thornfield hall and she sees this as an opportunity to escape from Mr.Blackwood ́s insistence. Charlotte, as curious as she is and eager for adventure, tells Alexander that she knows where to find Jane and she can convince her to join the society. So, they go on this adventure to find Jane but get in more trouble than they bargained for. 🌼I really liked it although I felt this one had a slow start, besides the ghost element I was not intrigued by this book but when more mystery was introduced I was surely invested. The characters were fun and adding Charlotte to her own story was added great value to it. Charlotte was witty and determined, she was one of my favorites, along with Helen (Jane’s ghost friend), which gave comedic relief to tense situations. 🌼The books had mystery, ghosts, romance and comedy. The point of view was divided between Jane, Charlotte and Alexander and I think the authors did a really good job at making each POV meaningful and helped weave together the whole story. 🎧Listened this audiobook in storytel.com app #booksbooksbooks📚 #audiobook#bookish #bookaddictions #audiobooksrule #books #booklover #bookwormforlife #booknerdlife #bookloversunite #bookslovers📚#bookreviewers#bookreviewblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CPKWGSbLnf8/?utm_medium=tumblr

🌼Tanner is a bisexual boy that lives in Provo, Utah. This is a very small city that is mostly populated by LDS, which makes him hide his sexuality from everyone else except his family. It's their Senior year and Autumn (Tanner’s best friend) drags him to a class where he will write a book after the semester is done. In this class, they are joined by an assistant to the teacher Sebastian Brother. 🌷Sebastian was a student there and had written a book so good that he was going to be published so he is there to help the students, however Tanner is instantly smitten by him, his feelings are conflicting because he doesnt know if Sebastian is gay, even worst he is from the LDS community and he knows that him being attracted to Tanner is not something that is remotely possible. Tanner decides to write about his feelings and his life as the base of the book, without knowing that it all might come true. 🌼This book shows the struggles of someone dealing with their sexuality and being in a highly religious community and also we see Tanner's side that has a supportive family but cannot be fully himself because of where he lives at the moment. I really enjoyed Tanner's character, very easy going and charismatic, also I was appreciative of Tanner’s family and their dynamic, how they loved and supported each other no matter the circumstances. 🌷The ending was great because it was realistic, although it did not end on a sour note, everything was as they say “not coming up roses”, but it ended just right. Still, this book really resonated with me, it had some funny banter, cute flirty moments and some happy blushing scenes that makes this book absolutely memorable. 🎧Listened this audiobook in storytel.com app #booksbooksbooks📚 #audiobook#bookblogger #bookish #bookaddictions #audiobooksrule #books #booklover#bookcommunit#booknerdlife #booklove #bookphotographer #bookslover #bookaholicgirl #bookreviewers #bookreviewblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CPH8LeMLS-v/?utm_medium=tumblr

Final showdown of the Snow like Ashes trilogy. Meira meets Rares that is from Paisley, where all its people have magic and he takes Meira there to protect her mind from Angra and train her so she can learn to use her magic physically and mentally without feeding the decay. We also hear from Mather ́s POV and this time Ceridwen ́s POV is added to this. We get to see how Ceridwen ́s struggles with her love for Jesse, the king of Ventralli, while also preparing to take back her kingdom. We have more death and betrayal coming from Winter's side (small spoiler). Autumn, Yakimians, Winterians and some of Summer's people all unite to fight for Primoria. Meira knows now what she has to sacrifice in order to stop the decay and end all magic. My thoughts are I love Ceridwen and her humor, I really liked her relationship with Jesse and her inner struggle. Meira was good, I felt like I needed more from her, I wasn't fully satisfied with the development of her character and Mather ́s point of view wasn't really necessary for me here other than at the beginning and the end. He was just pining over Meira the whole time. Now, I know I seem very negative but I really did enjoy it, I liked the relationships and the comedy relief that it had at certain points. The end was enough for me, I think I had the closure I needed from this and I would read it again. 🎧Listened this audiobook in storytel.com app 🗒edit in canva.com and Pixlr.con ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #booksbooksbooks📚 #audiobook#bookblogger #bookishpost #bookaddictions#audiobooksrule #books #authorsofig#booklover#authors #bookcommunity #bookwormforlife #booknerdlife #audiobooksofinstagram #bookloversunite #bibliophile #bookphotographer #bookslovers📚 #bookaholicgirl #booksofinstragram #bookreviewers #bookreviewblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/CPABWv4rTVo/?utm_medium=tumblr

B O O K 🌷 R E V I E W 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 Ove is a bitter, stubborn, old man that is retired and spends the day pointing out the wrongs around his neighborhood and of the people that surround him. His wife passed away just a few months ago and then he was pushed into retirement so he feels that his life is not what he wants it to be. He then decides that he wants to take away his life to be done with everything and be reunited with his wife. However, his continuous attempts are interrupted by uninvited characters around his neighborhood that become part of Ove’s life and give him a purpose, even if he doesn't want to because he has a heart of gold under that sour grin. Opinion 💫 This story, like the last book I read from Frederick Backman, is just beautiful. It makes you happy and sad as you unfold the life of Ove and what he has overcome throughout his lifetime. Chapter by chapter I shed tears of joy and of heartbreak, that just made me want to meet Ove and hug him. Ove reminded me so much of my grandfather, he past away a few years ago, he was like this man, grumpy and bitter on the outside because he had been through so much pain that made him that way and on the inside he was filled with loved but had strange ways of showing it but we knew how he felt. Backman is an expert on tugging on those heartstrings, it is a feel good book that deals with loss, grief, marriage, love, race, class and division all woven perfectly together giving you a new outlook on life and humanity, not judging on the way one looks and empathy. 🎧Listened this audiobook in storytel.com app 🗒edit in canva.com and Pixlr.con ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #booksbooksbooks📚 #audiobook#bookblogger #bookish #bookaddictions #beautifulbooks #audiobooksrule #books #authorsofig #booklover #authors #bookcommunity #bookwormforlife #booknerdlife #audiobooksofinstagram #booklove #bibliophile #bookphotographer #bookslover #bookaholicgirl #booksofinstragram #bookreviewers #bookreviewblogger#bookreviewsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CO1xS5vL1X0/?igshid=1q88469hz6a6b

B O O K 🌼 R E V I E W 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 The book is about Alex, a boy who loves to write spooky, creepy stories that he keeps in a journal “Nightbooks”. One night, Alex sneaks out in the night to burn his books because of a problem that occured at his school, but as he got into the elevator it stops at the 4th floor and he is lured into a witch's apartment where he is held captive. In order to survive, he is required to read a scary story to the witch every day. Alex, although is looking for a way to escape, he is also conflicted because he enjoys having someone appreciate his scary stories. He soon finds out he is not the only one captive and befriends Yasmin, a girl that has been working for Natacha for some time now. He also finds that there have been many more before him and decides to find a way to free himself and Yasmin from their captor before he runs out of stories to tell. Opinion 💫 This is a middle grade book, so it's an easy read but surprisingly it was very engaging. We get to hear each of Alex ́s stories which gives you Goosebumps vibes and the story in itself is dark and chilling. Since its middle grade it's not too gory with its details, so it's good to read with your kid and will not give him nightmares. It has a dash of Hansel and Gretel and another story and well, of course it's a happy ending. 🎧Listened this audiobook in storytel.com app 🗒edit in canva.com and Pixlr.con ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #booksbooksbooks📚 #audiobook#bookblogger #bookish #bookaddictions #beautifulbooks #audiobooksrule #books #authorsofig #booklover #authors #bookcommunity #bookwormforlife #booknerdlife #audiobooksofinstagram #booklove #bibliophile #bookphotographer #bookslover #bookaholicgirl #booksofinstragram #bookreviewers #bookreviewblog #bookreviewsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/COzbgnhLdSe/?igshid=15s95h4wwx20i

B O O K 🌼 R E V I E W I finally get to read something more joyful and cute. Lucy Hutton works at a publishing house that has not so recently merged with another publishing house and where she meets Josh Templeman, a guy who in Lucy's eyes is the most egotistical, mean, hateful, a** that she has to put up with everyday. Joshua always gives Lucy a hard time with everything and they try to one up each other at every moment then a position opens up, her dream job, but as luck would have it, she has to go against Josh to earn it, which seems like no problem, except that Josh is actually really good at what he does and as they compete for this job, Lucy starts to see him a new light that puts in question what she truly desires. Opinion 💫 Yes, total romantic comedy, chick-flick, I believe this will be made into a movie and well it's not a profound piece of literature, it will not change your life, but every once in a while it's nice to get a break from reading intense books. This had all the things we love from enemies to lovers trope, comedy, drama, hot guy, sexual tension, some smut. I savored every bit of this and we know how it ends but it still had some moments where I screeched, laughed and blushed at some parts. So I recommend that you give yourself a break and enjoy this entertaining book. 🎧Listened this audiobook in storytel.com app 🗒edit in canva.com and Pixlr.con ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #booksbooksbooks📚 #audiobook#bookblogger #bookish #bookaddictions #beautifulbooks #audiobooksrule #books #authorsofig #booklover #authors #bookcommunity #bookwormforlife #booknerdlife #audiobooksofinstagram #booklove #bibliophile #bookphotographer #bookslover #bookaholicgirl #booksofinstragram #bookreviewers #bookreviewblog #bookstagrampl https://www.instagram.com/p/COwpkbQLDK4/?igshid=8zt475r6vasy
