Review: The Nanny by Lana Ferguson

The Nanny by Lana Ferguson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

After reading Fake Mate, I dived into Lana Ferguson's first novel to get immersed into her writing again. And I definitely enjoyed it, just not as much as her second novel. 

Aiden and Cassie are such opposites that they just click so well. I ADORE Cassie. She's honestly the sweetest person ever. The way she is around Sophie? And Wanda? And how she melted Iris? Cassie has a way to open up everyone around her and I adore that more than words can say.

The back story of how they met was meh to me. I could have kept the nanny, etc, but it was unique I suppose. 

But I seriously love all of the relationships in this book and definitely won't forget them any time soon. Very excited to read Lana's upcoming novel in 2024!

Review: The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson

The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read this because I fell in love with the Fairyloot special edition, and then I ended up falling in love with the story! Noah and Mack are amazing. They are such opposites but together they just make sense. I loved it when Mack teased Noah. Most went right over his head in the beginning and it was hilarious. 

And then when their attraction got away with them? I was just along for the ride enjoying every minute of it. 

I really hope I can get the SE in Feb through Fairyloot because I would love to own this edition! I'm glad I decided to try it and now I'm reading all of Lana Ferguson's books!

Review: Promising Today by A.M. Kusi

Promising Today by A.M. Kusi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

A.M. Kusi never fails to suck me into their stories! I love Nova and Judes story. These two instantly gravitated toward each other and watching them fumble work their feelings was endearing and intense. 

I love that both were lost and had no idea what they were doing in life. Jude even said he was in his 30s with no plan and that got me emotionally. I've been going through really big changes and am also in my 30s so it just made me feel recognized and less embarrassed that I'm in this state of my life. 

That's what is the best part about this authors novel: I can relate on so many levels and I realize that life happens and as long as I keep fighting, I'm doing okay. Nova and Jude are doing okay. Day by day. 

We finally get to discover who the killer is since book 1 and I had no freaking clue who it was until a chapter or two before it was revealed. And I loved that I couldn't predict it. Usually I can so it was a change of pace to be surprised at the reveal!

I'm so glad I got the chance to read this novel and get immersed into this beautiful story. I've been trying, and will continue to try, to get all of my friends to read this author because I think so many readers will love this series! I CANNOT wait for the next series as I've been waiting to find out about this group of characters!

Review: ETERN1TY by Erin Noelle

ETERN1TY by Erin Noelle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The ending to this duet was amazing. I loved how Tavian and Lyra made each other the mission in life and had no regrets about their decisions. Seeing that much love shine between two people is the ultimate goal in a relationship. 

Annie needs to get done serious help. Having been Annie, I get how she is feeling, but to do what she did? That's not right no matter what happened to her. To be enamored that much in one person that you make horrible decisions? No no no.

I really am curious why the numbers came back and that they were different. We'll never figured out why, but it will leave me wondering for weeks to come. 

Glad my friend recommended this series to me! Really glad I experienced this story.

Review: EXP1RE by Erin Noelle

EXP1RE by Erin Noelle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This review has major spoilers!

I was recommended this book by a friend and I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it! The whole concept of seeing death dates in people's eyes is crazy. I would have followed Lyra's philosophy and never look at people in the eye. Id rather be looked as rude than know when that person will die.

Tavian is a fun character. He definitely gets Lyra to open up which I'm glad. She needed some happiness in her life. I'm just a bit disappointed he cheated on his girlfriend with Lyra. He could have tried harder to end the relationship first or restrained himself until he did it in person. 

That ending, though? The proposal? I'm curious what Tavian will do. And to find out he also can see dates?? And that he and Lyra have the same date? It really intrigued me and now I have book 2 to find out how this all ends!

Review: Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've had this book since release day and a month after, I've read this twice now. I haven't been this obsessed over a book series for many years and I honestly am not sure how to move into another book with the emptiness I have when done. I sound dramatic, but it's true lol.

Violet is fantastic. The brain this girl has, she's always figuring things out way before anyone else and it's all thanks to her scribe life she was preparing for. People think reading books is silly, but it's not. Gathering information and learning facts will prepare a person to be equipped with everything they may need to know in a single second. 

I love Violet interacting with Tarin and Andarna. The love she has for her dragons, actually everyone in her life, is so strong and pure. She is so selfless and is always trying to save everyone but herself.

Xaden is so swoon-worthy, but also annoying. I get all of the choices he made (except the last one) but it doesn't mean I liked him during those moments. And the moments he was SHOWING Violet he loved her? Oh boy, they were convincing moments!

There is so much that happens in this novel. Yarros has a way of shoving so much info but it doesn't feel like we are bombarded with everything all at once. 

I loved all of the returning characters and all of the new characters. I'm very intrigued to see what events will happen with Aaric. I feel like he's going to have a major role soon. 

Dain left my "he can be unalived" corner and moved to my "just stay here and be quiet" corner. He can still be moved depending on what he did in the next book. Still up for debate. 

As you can see I'm still all over the place when it comes to this book, this series, but I love it so much and know I'll be rereading before book 3 is released to get immersed into this amazing world again.
