☾REVIEW

★★★

Rating: 3 out of 5.

This was…okay I guess. There are really good things and not so great ones in this story.

On one hand, we have the amazing summer vibes and that summer feeling which was great and part of why I decided to read it. The family dinamic was also super interesting and i thought it was so fun seeing all of them playing together and how well they got along. 

The romance was kind of OK, it was nothing outstanding, really predictable and overall a fine element.

The background story on how the MC was going through such a hard thing as losing a sister, was something I really appreciated because it was nice seeing her redoing all of the memories on the summer vacation place where she used to be with her sister and how she was trying to overcome it and find peace again.

However, the game part plot of this book was soooo boring, it was fine at the beginning and all but by the 80% i was a bit sick of it. I wished it would have ended earlier and just see them live together a part from the game.

If you are looking for a fun summery book, with big summer vibes then go for it!

☼SYNOPSIS

Aria and her sisters return to the Human Realm of Haven Falls to find one of their own that’s gone missing. They soon discover things have changed in the Human Realm and that nothing is what it seems, including Knox, the egotistical, self-centered, frustratingly gorgeous man who declared himself King during their absence.

Sparks fly when the two enter a fiery battle of wills as Aria learns she is more than just a witch in the Hecate bloodline; she is much, much more.

Will Aria embrace her savage side to find her sister and save her family, or will she burn to ashes from his heated kisses and burning hot embrace?

Knox has ulterior motives for being in Haven Falls and never expected the little witch to show up and brazenly challenge his rule.

It was supposed to be easy; get in and get out. Move pieces into place and set the stage for the war he’s been planning for over five hundred years. Aria is his sworn enemy but something within her calls to him and he hates himself for craving the fiery kisses that have reignited his cold, dead heart. One taste, and he thought he could get her out of his system. He was wrong.

Will Knox let go of the memories of the past, driving his need for revenge that will destroy the pretty little witch he craves, or will he push the boundaries to fight for and claim what is his by right? Either way, war is inevitable. And nothing will stop him from reaching for what is his.

this was... not good.

this book was not able to hold my interest at all.

i didn't care for the characters and at one point, I forgot what the book was even about since I felt like nothing was happening.

i HATED the male MC, he was mean and rude and I just could enjoy the relationship that he had with the MC. 

I felt like their romance came out of nowhere and the buildup was quite fake.

i also didnt like the world, maybe it was because I wasnt paying a lot of attention at one point, but the world building was a bit confussig.

it is waaaay too long and you definitely need a lot of patience because the action doesn't pick up until the halfway point.

there is too much abuse, and disgusting derogatory behavior toward woman.

would not recommend tbh

☼SYNOPSIS

Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people—bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s first in an epic, romantic trilogy inspired by Persian mythology.

To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight.

The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom—and the world.

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Saddnes does not come close to what i’m feeling right now, and that is because i didn’t enjoyed this as much as i thought i would.

now i do want to preface a few things, fir of all being that i’m in a huge reading slump so i basically forced the reading experience in a way that makes no justice to this wonderfully written book.

so i’m conflicted right now, because this wasn’t the best book ever or as good as i thought because it wasn’t able to keep me reading at all times.

however i do have a few things to say, for of all; the world building, OMG it’s spectacular, the persian mythology inspiration that comes from this book was really nice. overall it was quite a different and unique book and i learned and acquired to much wisdom from this book that makes me extremely upset the fact that i had to physically force my self to finish it.

this was in no way, shape or form the books fault and for that reason i’m writing it down in my list of re-reads as i’m sure i will appreciated much more when the time is right

☼SYNOPSIS

Gold.

Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold.

Even me.

King Midas rescued me. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. I’m called his precious. His favored. I’m the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don’t leave the confines of the palace, I’m safe.

Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck.

Suddenly, my trust is broken. My love is challenged. And I realize that everything I thought I knew about Midas might be wrong.

Because these bars I’m kept in, no matter how gilded, are still just a cage. But the monsters on the other side might make me wish I’d never left.

Author’s Note: This is a fantasy romance m/f story. There will be monarchs and magic and fae and steam and violence and all the feels. This book contains explicit content and mature language not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. This is book one of three in the series, so that means it won’t be tied up in a bow at the end. In fact, the bow is probably going to be tossed right off a cliff. But it’ll be worth the fall.

☾REVIEW

★★★

Rating: 3 out of 5.

this was... this was interesting.

I liked the concept, I thought the idea of her being made of gold was super interesting and unlike anything I have ever seen before, however, this book had one too many flaws.

don't get me wrong, I liked it but I had to get 200 pages into it in order for interesting stuff to actually happen. 

the beginning was soooo bizarre and there were so many scenes that made no sense to me, but not just only at the beginning since there were uncenessary scenes all throughout the book.

WAAAAY too much sexual violence for absolutely no reason, there were a few moments that made me feel a bit uncomfortable because I thought they could have been easily cut out.

However, apart for a few bits and bobs I did enjoy this, it was interesting and im excited to see where the story goes, unfortunately the second book its not on my high priority TBR but I know I will get to it eventually!

Rating: 3 out of 5.

this was fun, and I have to say I kind of liked it. 

the idea sounded soooo good that I knew I had to read it. before I did it, I went into goodreads and saw how everybody was saying that it was super predictable and how everyone had guessed who the murder was, which, im not going to lie, made me feel a little bit discourage but I went into it nonetheless. 

a bit part for me in mystery books is the surprise factor and yes, I did guess it too. 

not the entire thing but a part. clearly that is a huge reason why this book did not got a higher rating.

i liked the fact that we are following the daughter whose father was charged as a murdered, I thought it was such an interesting thing to see and follow the point of view of someone that was directly involved with the murder.

overall I did enjoyed it, its super easy to read and not complicated at all, I do recommend it because I feel like everyone would like it even if you guessed the ending!
