A dark romance "Scarred" by Emily McIntire is not that dark Afterall

By Quills and Pages
So Last weekend I finished this book from the Never After series "Scarred" by Emily Mclntaire . So when I was searching for a book to read I found this on the Goodreads intro of the book: Scarred is a DARK Royal Romance and a complete standalone within The Never After Series (A series of fractured fairy tales inspired by our favorite villains). It is not a retelling or fantasy. It contains subject matter which may be triggering for some. Reader discretion is advised. I choose this book solely because it says it is a dark romance and also because of the cover (just look at the cover, it's breathtaking). I also found so many 5-star ratings so I thought why not give it a go.   So here are my thoughts after reading Scarred Spoiler Ahead:  It was not that dark after all.  The book was inspired by the lion king. The king's family is called the Faasa and there is a Scarred prince. The book was pretty much bland without any darkness or stuff. Maybe for some readers, it does ...

By Quills and Pages
The book I discovered from Goodreads back in 2014 when I started reading. This is the first book I have ever read of Morgan Rhodes. This is a high fantasy genre with an amazing plot, political intrigue, epic magical powers, and awesome characters. the story revolves around 4 main characters... I have forgotten some stuff here. But I will do my best to give an honest review.  A little summary and viewpoint : This is a high fantasy genre with an amazing plot, political intrigue, epic magical powers, and awesome characters. the story revolves around 4 main characters two girls and two guys. The book was very fast-paced I was totally absorbed into the world and bam the book has finished. The royal characters are typical royal characters in the story. I like the character of Jonas and his little rebellion and whatever he is doing to survive in the realm. He is that character of the book with a tragic past and his life is filled with tragedy he is also doing something of value and focusi...

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

By Quills and Pages
Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.

This line is fire... How did I fall? Easy. He turned my world upside down My Fault is the book I found out from TikTok. I watched the movie first and then I thought why not give it a read. This review aims to provide insight into the book and the movie adaptation. I will analyze the plot, characters, and writing style, and give an overall rating. It will assist you in deciding whether to indulge in the book the movie or both. "My Fault" written by Mercedes Ron is a captivating book that tells the story of a love-hate relationship between Noah and Nick.

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

By Quills and Pages
  Where is Molly is a stand alone book written by H.D Carlton. It is set in the Universe of Haunting Adeline. The story revolves around Molly...the girl we found in Hunting Adeline. Her diary was founded by Adeline under the floor and us readers always wanted to know if she succeeded in running away from that awful place.  Blurb A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet... “Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?” In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast. It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly. Important No...

Lightlark by Alex Aster | A Book Review

By Quills and Pages
A Fellow booktoker recommended me this book. She talks about it all the time and makes really catchy videos featuring this Duology. I got interested and purchased this book. Lightlark is the first book in the series written by Alex Aster. I got to know some pretty interesting facts about the Author and how this book was published. You should learn it too this is not my story to tell 😅. Anyhow I started reading this book in March and finished it one week. Somehow I got late in writing and reviewed all the books I read in March. So now I am starting again. This is the brief of this book on Goodreads; Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has somet...
