Throne of Glass Book 1 by Sarah J Mass | A Review

There is a lot of hype around ACOTAR series which I don't know why or maybe I do. The books are good but there are better series written by the said author for example Throne of Glass series. This series is a masterpiece containing all the elements of the High fantasy genre. Here is the GoodReads description of the first book; In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king's champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien. The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass—and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her worl...

Reparation | Book 3 of The Kane Trilogy by Stylo Fantome | A Review

This is the 3rd book in The Kane Trilogy written by Stylo Fantome . An awesome end to this wholesome series. here is the Goodreads description; But a persistent Jameson, a meddling Sanders, and an amorous baseball player make it very hard for a girl to keep her focus, and suddenly it seems Tate has a few too many suitors for her fairy tale ending. Sometimes, it's very difficult to tell who Prince Charming really is ... Genre Dark Contemporary Romance Theme and Tone Dark Romance Vibes Language and Writing Style Mature, funny, and very well-written Tropes Contemporary Misunderstandings Miscommunication Love-Hate Relationship My Review I will try to review the book without any spoilers. The finale of Tatum and Jameson's story is cute, amazing, beautiful, and wholesome. The banter between the two is to die for. We get to see more of Sanders in this book. He acts like a mature reasonable person keeping all the retarded (Tatum and Jameson) in line. His efforts...

Separation | Book 2 of The Kane Trilogy by Stylo Fantome | A Review

This is the second book in The Kane Trilogy written by Stylo Fantome . I reread this series this month and here I am writing the review for the second book. This is the Goodreads description of the series. Everything is fun and games until someone gets hurt, and what Jameson Kane did to Tatum O'Shea goes so far beyond hurt, he is well into the realm of unforgivable. Tate says she wants him gone for good, and he quickly learns that the old saying, “you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone” , is most definitely true. But Jameson has never been very good at following instructions, and when Satan decides to seek redemption, he'll go to great lengths to get it. He proposes one last game – one to end them all, if she agrees to play. He is very confident that he can win, but Tate warns him that it's not possible; she will not lose again. Little does she know, Jameson is prepared to do whatever it takes. Prepared to lay the entire world at her feet. Prepared ...

Degradation | Book 1 of The Kane Trilogy by Stylo Fantome | A Review

Some books feel like home. Maybe because we get too comfortable reading to or because we relate with characters so much that it doesn't feel like we are treading on foreign territory. The Kane trilogy is something like that for me. This book series has impacted me deeply and I still don't know the exact reason why. If you want you can buy the full set here on kindle. The series is written by Stylo Fantome . There are five books in the series; Degradation , Separation , and Reparation , are the main trilogy. Completion and Reception are short novellas. Every once in a while I drift back to this series and start reading it. I relate to many things Tatum(FMC) represents and I have been in love with Jameson for like forever (MMC). He is the most perfect MMC a book could have 😅. Here is the GoodReads description of the first book in the series from where the story starts. Eighteen-year-old Tatum O'Shea is a naive, shy, little rich...

New Enemies to Lovers Dark Romance in Town | Plug and Claim by Darcy Fayton

I got this book from Netgalley . This is the first book of the Duology written by Darcy Fayton . I wish to thank the author for allowing me to read this book.

Plug and Claim is a steamy Paranormal Academy Dark Romance with BDSM and is Book 1 of the Plug and Claim duology .
