MY REVIEW
First of all I would like to thanks Jesikah for this amazing arc she provided in exchange for an honest review. The book hooked me from the very beginning where the MC goes to Seers shop and ask her questions about his mate. The setting and vibe of the book is magical. There are magical people called Raven folks . They have tribes and they keep humans as slaves. So our MC (Rhylen) is the owner of our FC (Filena). There is also a grandmother in the pictures who bought Filena and her brother when they were little. But the twist here is that the grandmother has brought up these two children without making them realize they were slaves.

Filena has feelings for Rhylen since forever but she cannot confess to him because there are tribal laws and many other things between them. She also does not know if he will reciprocate because he is also her best friend and he never hinted in a slightest. There is also a night market that this tribe arrange. It is kind of a way to earn money for the tribes.

Filena is a seer and she sees visions and she kept seeing vision of Rhylen with her mate and this created a very bittersweet situation between them and it was treat to listen to these two. The setting and vibe of the book is very magical and beautiful. There is a forest and magical familiars ( who are cute creatures with personalities) Filena's interaction with her familiars is just priceless.

Now let's talk about the Audio. I appreciate the Narrators as they brought the story to life with their beautiful voices. Okay so the accent is Irish and there are Irish fantasy elements involved. This is my first time listening to audiobook in Irish accent and I must say it's beautiful accent...I thoroughly enjoyed it. In the start there was some difficulty but as the story progressed I starting understanding it and loving it.

On whole this book is a 5 star read. It has all the element of cozy magical fantasy. It is Summer these days here but this book is perfect to listen to curling up on your arm chair with a hot mug of Coffee and a blanket in chilly Autumn evenings. Oh!!!!...I am already imagining listening to this book in Fall. I totally recommend this book. Add this to your Fall reading list.

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

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.

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

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

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...
