Tears of Revenge by Tanja Longoria | A Review

Hi Readers!!!!

Welcome to Quills and Pages. I am back with another book. Tears of Revenge is written by Tanja Longoria. This is a reverse harem vampire romance book and I got the book from Booksirens. So, let's start the review shall we;

BLURB

Avalon
Trapped in the hands of her abusive boyfriend, Avalon was struggling to escape. Until one night, her fate changed. Two ominous men saved her life, sweeping her away from everything she’s ever known.
Marcus and Varos
They never thought they’d see Avalon again. Yet, by some strange twist of fate, she stepped back into their lives. They quickly fell for the human who had them wrapped around her little finger.
But would they risk revealing the monsters they truly were?
Lysander
Hiding like a wolf in a sheep’s skin, Lysander was forced to watch idly as his friends fell for someone who could never uncover their secret. But when they save her life for a second time, he’s got no choice but to intervene—and fall for her in the process.

MY REVIEW
The book starts out great. The writing was good. The very first scene intrigued me to read more. I don't want to spoil it for you so I will keep it short and simple. The storyline is not heavy on the plot, there are no complex details to understand, it's a contemporary vampire RH smutty romance with some dark themes.

The story starts out great. I like the FMC, she is a pretty mellow and down-to-earth person who enjoys simple things in life. She survives an abusive relationship and makes a pretty good life for herself before her past catches up with her and now she has to survive some very tricky situations on top of the attention of 3 hot people.

Although it's 4 star read for me but I did not like some things in there. I felt the romance was pretty bland at times, especially between Varos Marcus and Avalon. But the dynamics of Avalon and Lysander were pretty great. I liked their relationship more. For Varos and Marcus, it was difficult to differentiate between them as an individual character every time their scenes came up 😅.

So if you are a smutty reader and in need to read plain old smut this is the book for you. Oh, and I loved the pictures the author added between chapters. They were really amazing.

MY RATING
Overall: ★★★★ | 4 Stars

Plot: ★★★★| 4 Stars

Characters:★★ | 2 Stars

Pacing: ★★★ | 3 Stars

Mystery: ★ | 1 Star

Ending: ★★★| 3 Stars

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.

Have you ever stumbled upon a series that not only captures your imagination but also challenges the norms of classic narratives?

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...
