4/5

After a few years out of the spotlight, Mackenzie is ready to re-start her her music career, but the label won't back her, unless she sings with her former rival Sam Blaze. But their rivalry has always hidden deeper feelings for one another.

This was everything I love in a rivals to lovers romance. I thought it was the perfect mix of rivalry and complicated feelings for one another.

4/5

Lo and Aidan's short lived romance left Aidan with enough heartbreak to fill an album, and Lo with no desire to ever see Aidan again. They're brought back together for a wedding, and find that maybe they both had a part to play in their painful breakup.

I thought this was a really nice second chance romance. I liked the way their complex family relationships as well as the different pressures they were both under were depicted.

4.5/5

Ceelander and Ste Etienne are forced to land on Shroud, a planet where the atmosphere is so think that no light makes it to the planets surface and life evolved to “see“ through ever louder radio waves. Escape is all but impossible, and they've attracted the attention of Shroud's many forms of life.

I couldn't put this book down. I loved everything about the journey across Shroud as well as the alien life that lives on Shroud.

A spicy monster romance full of magic set in the modern world. Fiercely independent Anna accidentally wakes up Frey, a winged creature who was turned to stone centuries ago. Turns out she was able to break the stone sleep, albeit temporarily, because they‘re destined to be together. I enjoyed seeing them find ways to meet in the middle of their values. Anna doesn‘t want to rely on Frey and he wants to cocoon her in a safe place. #netgalley #arc

Good pace, a well-thought out plot, & two appealing main characters made this one of those books you can't put down! The narrative is told from both Lizzie & Bex's points of view & it lifts the lid on the disconnect that these women are selling traditional gender roles whilst raking in millions of dollars & that probably very little of what is seen online is real. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Overall I really enjoyed this fictional look at the darker side of the whole tradwife thing. 4🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, HQ, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

This is very interesting. The author incorporates items from indigenous Caribbean culture into a story about classism post slavery. Sort of. But it's also heavy fantasy.

Pub date is today, apparently, 7/29/25

Maisie‘s world is turned upside down when her mom says they are moving to Maryland to take care of a sick, distant great-aunt. Things only get more confusing when her new cell phone starts receiving mysterious texts.

This was adorable! Maisie really reads as 12 years old, but she was such a plucky protagonist who cared about her family so much. No idea how the magic/science of time travel works, & I honestly don‘t care. Loved this! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
