BEAUTIFUL CREATURES is a dark, cozy and atmospheric YA urban fantasy with casters, supernatural creatures, and elemental magic. It was the perfect book to kick off spooky season with!
THE HAWTHORNE LEGACY, the second book in The Inheritance Games trilogy was a great sequel that I know I liked, but I can’t remember much more than ha! But this trilogy is filled with riddles upon riddles and traps upon traps. Check out my review of book 1 here!
CROWN OF BONES is a young adult, high fantasy, epic land and sea adventure filled with non-stop action and a harrowing and dangerous quest! It definitely took me by surprise.
THE FINAL GAMBIT was the perfect finale to The Inheritance Games trilogy. I loved this installment so much!
THE SHADOWS is spooky multilayered thriller about murder and lucid dreams. I loved all the twists and turns and shocks in the first half, but the overall plot twist and whodunit kind of fell flat for me.
RESTING WITCH FACE, book 5 in the Stay A Spell series, is Jules and Ruben’s story (finally!!). And I adored their second chance, true mates romance!
