Finished! Ngl, Idk what to say. I did warm up to the couple, but I felt like the world and magic were a bit lacking. The story focuses more on the smut, which was decent, but I guess I wanted a bit more. The family drama was technically resolved, but again, it didn't feel as well done as the holiday prince series. A decent read #queer

Finally got back to reading this one. Ngl, not the biggest fan, I prefer her other titles, there's just something about the couple I'm not really feeling (esp our blonde main). I'll be traveling soon so the plan is to get through it and maybe one other book? Possibly even start a third?! We'll see 😆 #queer

Not bad, but it feels like it wasn't exactly what I was looking for (I wanted more food and coziness), which (in a way) reflects the world we live in now. Many of the essays were more serious than I expected but I was also impressed by how food could be so #political. Or rather, I know it is, but these essays really pushed me to think about to what extent that could mean. The last essay was a fun one to end with #queer

Review 1/2: Finally finished it! I mentioned it was a bit raunchier than I wanted which is crazy considering all the fanfic I read, but HMMMM, it was more interesting than I thought. The story revolves around Lucifer, hell, angels, and a clan of women who end up spun up in a revenge plot. Pretty typical, but I'd say the highlight was def the non-monogamous relationship it featured! I've never seen it in other books #queer

Review 2/2: I'd say there's nothing esp special about the story but I have to praise it for the relationships and sex positivity, esp as female empowerment. I'm no expert but based on this chart, I'd say this features some form of poly-fidelity and relationship anarchy? which I've NEVER seen in other books 🤔 #queer

A really good read. There *was* something about the MC I didn't really like, which somehow made him more "real". I also like that he realizes that a part of him is a lot like his father. The final battle felt a bit anticlimactic, which honestly doesn't surprise me, it usually is LOL. but I liked the relationship dynamics and how it all ended. It feels complete but there is a sequel. I wonder what's next #queer #trans #nonbinary

I'm a bit confused with the passage of time. Our MCs have "only just' met but then there will be passages that imply it's been "a while" ? anyways, started this one bc the sequel is on my #netgalley backlog, no opinions so far, everything's been ok so far. The MC is a bit angry and judgemental, which is a bit annoying, but this is YA/NA so it's expected #queer #transrep

Pretty good read ⭐ There were some parts that felt repetitive and Ngl, I didn't like one of the girls, but I thought the premise was interesting. A story about witches, superstitions, and vampire-like creatures. One part I did really like was that the contemporary MC wasn't forced into a relationship #queer
