4 ⭐ Cursed luck is in Indy book of Kelly Armstrong‘s. In it we have Kennedy who owns an antique shop. She specializes in removing curses from antique objects that she can then resell. One day Aiden comes in to make her approve that she can actually do as advertised. The two end up on a wild urban fantasy adventure that sends her back home to her sisters and the rest of her family.
Not a lot of great books in February, so this was my favorite read. A romance set in a creepy/haunted castle.

I found this via IG, as the author has hysterical Book Goblin reels, and decided to give this series a try. I like Wheatley‘s writing style. The world building is good, even if the set up drags a bit. The ending is open, prepped for the sequel. I‘m looking forward to seeing how things play out.
Eesh. Not my favorite from #aardvark. This felt a little thin and drawn out to me. I eventually ended up skimming. Better editing (and cutting about 75 pages of redundant stuff) could‘ve helped.
Jemma finds employment at a house in New Orleans. She initially thinks she‘s being hired as a tutor, but the family has different ideas and is hiding a lot of secrets. Some may unlock parts of Jemma‘s past.
Another potential four star turned to three. I loved the plot and setting, but realized I didn't love the characters or romance. I enjoyed reading it and look forward to other books by Rebecca Ross, but there was something stopping me from loving it.
This book really had my attention. It was great. I found it to be an original take on the relationship between witches and demons. The characters were very entertaining, the plot was interesting, and the mystery was gripping. It's billed as a YA fantasy, but I think adults who like horror would like it. I did not want to put this book down.
Simply marvelous. An adventure tale bursting with colour, exhibiting a really expansive variety of ways to fill the pages beyond the traditional grid of panels style, character design seen in the 'monster' unlike anything I've seen before, as well as other imaginative fantasy characters. An almost exclusively female cast of characters with a variety of skills, interests, backgrounds, personalities and foibles. 1/?
