Review: Rebel Witch by Kristen Ciccarelli

Rebel Witch Rebel Witch by Kristen Ciccarelli
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

I'm so glad I reread Heartless Hunter before diving into this book to refresh my memory of what happened. Because this book dives right into the story continuing Rune and Gideon's adventure. 

We get another version of Rune in this book when she's under Cressida's leadership. And can I say this version is my least favorite. No longer the strong, rebellious Crimson Moth but instead a docile follower. 

I'm glad throughout the book she was reminded of who she was deep down, though a lot of events happened that set her back in her confidence and powerful magic. 

And Gideon. This boy can deny his feelings so well but we all know he's doomed when it comes to Rune. But he really did try to fight his heart with his head, though he was never successful. 

I loved the twist and turns and secret reveals that happened. I discovered all of them before it was revealed but still enjoyed all of the reactions and events that followed. I'm so glad I decided to read this series because it was a great story the author gave us! Can't wait to add the physical copy to my collection!

Review: Emperor of Lust by Jagger Cole

Emperor of Lust Emperor of Lust by Jagger Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

Damien and Hana are fantastic together. The intensity between the two of them throughout the whole book was through the roof. I love how chaotic Damien is and how everyone knows what a lose cannon he is. I feel like he should have been a little bit more over the top based on others viewpoints of him. But I think that he calmed down a bit once he set his sights on Hana.

And I love how fierce Hana of about most things but still had her fears and weaknesses. I also love that the one thing she scared never happens when she's with Damien. Inside she knew he wasn't being malicious and she had to have had some trust in him.

This book has so many storylines, so many twists and turns that I never knew what was going to be revealed next. I absolutely love Jagger Coles writing and can't wait to read the next book already!

Review: How to Get Revenge on a Cheating Ex by Maggie Dallen

How to Get Revenge on a Cheating Ex How to Get Revenge on a Cheating Ex by Maggie Dallen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Because of my past couple of years, I have been waiting to read this book when it was the right time for me. And I'm glad I waited until now cause I truly did enjoy this book a lot. Bailey and Zach are such opposites, they are truly right for each other.  

Seeing these two with through their issues and also finding out how much they really liked each other was great to see. And Bailey is such an amazing person who realizes how much she was controlled by Grayson. Seeing her learn about herself and what she wants in life was amazing to witness. 

A cheating ex sucks, but it's not the end of the world. And honestly, life ends up much better afterwards and most don't Even realize how awful things were going in the moment. So, yes, I really did enjoy this book and I'm glad I finally got to a good place to read it!

Review: The Christmas List by Maren Moore

The Christmas List The Christmas List by Maren Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

I love Maren Moore's short Strawberry Hollow novellas. They are so sweet and spicy and even though I dread the winter I love reading about characters who love the winter holidays. 

Josie and Lucy are two peas in a pod. Seeing the two of them get overly excited was so sweet and adorable. And seeing Wyatt be adorable with Lucy and intense with Josie was phenomenal. So much emotion was packed into this tiny book! 

So glad I got the chance to read this and hoping the rest of the brothers get their story but I think this is going to be the last? Either way or was great!

Review: Forever the Highlands by Samantha Young

Forever the Highlands Forever the Highlands by Samantha Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

I'm not sure how Samantha Young gets me to fall in love with each and every character she writes about, but it happened once again in this final book in this world. Such a bittersweet moment to know no more additions will be coming for this amazing world that was created! 

Eilidh went through a lot of growing pains. Seeing her love her career to absolutely hating is was hard to see. That love and passion getting overrun by negative thoughts and feelings. It can really affect a person's mental state of mind. I'm glad she has the amazing support of her family.

Fyfe also had a lot of mental hoops to get past because of his mother. He used her actions to guard himself so tightly. Getting Millie in is life really showed him everything he was going to miss out if he didn't figure out how to get past his childhood. 

Seeing the two of these characters connect and learn to open up and help each other was amazing. I loved seeing the past characters help and appear in this book. The second epilogue was amazing and Samantha Young wrote an amazing conclusion to this fantastic world. I'm so glad I've been on this journey and I'm looking forward to the next adventure!

Review: Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson

Under Loch and Key Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I honestly don't know how Lana Ferguson writes vastly different novels from each other and I love Every. Single. One. Of. Them! Honestly I've never read a monster romance before but I absolutely loved this novel! And also Lana is a great author to start a new genre without diving too deep into new subjects. Omegaverse was first introduced to me with her other novel and these books are just a great starter for newbies like me.

Key is an amazing, pure person. She's been through a rough time with her dad and seeing him slowly lose himself. But she stuck with him and decided to travel across the world to deliver him home and meet the family she's never met.

And Lachlan. He's been through so much and he's a bit defeated, but also still trying so hard to figure out how to save his family.

I loved the mystery and the hunt to find answers in this book. I loved the magic and lore. It was honestly a great novel that I couldn't get enough of and really loved how the story came together overall! I'm so glad I got the chance to read this book and cant wait for more by this amazing author!

Review: Wrath of an Exile by Monty Jay

Wrath of an Exile Wrath of an Exile by Monty Jay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jude and Phi are phenomenal. These two were at each other's throats at the beginning but the longer they orbited each other in closer proximity, the more they couldn't resist the pull to each other. I love that both act as the others stability. They are both tortured and are haunted by their past, but they don't pity each other.  They respect each other and help the other grow and that is just beautiful to see. 

Monty Jay creates amazing characters and amazing storylines. I'm always in awe once i finish one of their books and I just know I'm going to be transported to a great experience while reading a book written by this author. I can't wait to see the next installment and to grab this paperback for my shrine!
