Unique Magic System

This is my first book by LJ Andrews so I had no idea what to expect but I really enjoyed this!

This book has such a unique magic system, I'm in awe!

It's full of amazing characters and plot twists!

The first half of the book is a lot of world building and explaining the magic system, which also leads to a delicious slow burn and enemies to lovers at it's finest!

I cannot wait for the next one!

Fantasy 

This book had me so intrigued from the blurb and I couldn't wait to dive in.

At first it feels like there's a little bit too much going on, too many characters and different plot lines, but the further you go the more it starts making sense!

The book is also filled with twists and turns that had my jaw dropping!

The downside for me is the length of it. Over 600 pages/24 hour audiobook felt a little bit daunting to me. That being said, I absolutely love the narrator and I feel like she did a fantastic job! I enjoyed doing parallel audio and ebook for this one.

Our MCs meet in the prologue 4 years prior and we see an instant connection between them! Malina is a Dacian Dancer and Julian is a Roman General, the nephew of the emperor.

What a great ending to the series!!

This one is still such a rollercoaster journey! 

Maddison tore out our hearts before putting the pieces back together again!

After the ending of book 2, I had no clue how this one was going to play out, and it certainly kept me on my toes for sure!!

I cannot wait for Megs book!

Austin & Gio
Hockey Romance 
Fake Dating
Hockey fan x Goalie
He falls first

This book is so freaking good!!!

I was about 30% in when I messaged a friend to tell her she needed to read this because otherwise she'd be missing out big time!!!!

This one had me laughing out loud soooo many times, their banter was SO GOOD!!

The ending did feel a bit rushed and I feel like we needed more, but I'm hoping we get to see more of these characters in the next book in this series? Or maybe a bonus extended epilogue or something? Fingers crossed! 

I'm not ready to say bye to these two yet! 🥹
