This book turned out to be such a pleasant surprise. I’ll admit, the prologue almost made me put it down, but I’m so glad I kept reading. It’s a fun, lighthearted rockstar romance with spice. If you’re in the mood for something entertaining and a little steamy, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try.

Do I recommend this book: 👍

My first Nathan Gower book, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! The story had me hooked from the start. I loved how the alternating POVs and timelines slowly unraveled the mystery, keeping me engaged as I tried to piece it all together. I figured out some of the twists about halfway through, but it didn’t take away from how entertaining the journey was. A great read, highly recommended.

Blood Over Bright Haven was my first dive into ML Wang’s work, and wow, what an introduction. 

I wasn’t sure if the audiobook would be my thing at first, but about 30 minutes in, I was completely hooked. This dark academia story has so much to offer, intrigue, depth, and a gripping plot that pulls you in. If you’re even remotely curious, I highly recommend giving it a go.

Will I read the next book in the series:  👍👍

What an incredible debut! This book completely hooked me with its perfect mix of magic and political drama. If you’re a fan of possessive “touch her and you die” male leads, you’ll absolutely love this.

Jessie Vilinski’s audiobook narration was outstanding. She brought the story to life with her flawless portrayal of both male and female characters. It made the experience even more immersive.

Highly recommend diving into this one, you won’t regret it.

This captivating story takes readers on a journey to 1800s China, where we meet Little Flower, a young girl sold into slavery at just six years old. Forced to serve in a wealthy household, she is assigned as a caretaker and companion to Linjing, the family’s daughter.

A powerful and thought-provoking read. Highly recommended.
