Im not very good with words but i will try my best to write this review well

Were to even start, the development of Esther throughout the book was amazing, i truly enjoyed seeing her character develop.

This book honesty had the right amount of smut and plot for me, the storyline had me gripped, especially when a certain villain character comes into the mix and shakes everything up.

This was my first real dive into the ‘monster smut’ fantasy realm of romance books and i do not regret it.

Amon’s character development within the plot was chef’s kisses! I truly wasn’t a huge fan of him to start but as the story progressed i came to find he had his hook in deep ;) if you know then you know ;) (if you don’t read the book and you’ll understand that little reference)

Overall a book i did not want to put down once i started to read it and think it needs shouting from the rooftops as a book to read


✨✨✨✨✨

Lies, deceit and darkness. The shadows trying to keep hidden.

What is real and what is a dream? This book had me questioning the ENTIRE time what was a dream and what was reality.
When i thought i figured it out, i was wrong, so very wrong.

I was gripping the edge of my chair while reading this, turning page after page never wanting the story to end.
I was hooked from the prologue all the way till the very end.
I did not want to put this down, constantly questioning myself on if i trusted the characters or not. It was a fabulous read

Magic, Darkness, Love, Lies and Deceit all of these elements made this an enthralling read
and something i would recommend people give a read.



Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for allowing me to read this ARC - this is an HONEST review from my own personal opinion.

This has been a super cute and fun read, ive laughed a couple times and smiled while reading it. Hasimoto is adorable, especially when he gets super shy/flustered. 'Salted Salmon' is a fun character too, the jealousy he shows is cute! the misunderstandings in this are cute and hilarious! This is honestly such a cute and nerdy workplace BL. If you are a BL fan i would 100% recommend picking this one up and giving it a whirl. It is super wholesome.

This was a super fun read, i enjoyed it so much i went online to find the print copy to add to my cart to buy as soon as it is released! and to find the next volume in the series as i NEED more of this manga's story in my life!

I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The Yakuza's Bias, where do i begin, this was a brilliant manga, perfectly capturing how it is to start stanning an idol group.

This was honestly such a fun read! As a KPop fan myself, I laughed at some of the antics that Ken went through for his bias - especially the photocard pulls and how real they was! I really enjoyed the world building and the hilarious reality of what it means to be a KPop Stan.

I will be picking up the paperback and the next volume in this manga.

I picked this up on a whim just because the title and front cover intrigued me, and i genuinely enjoyed it, it had me chuckling at a few point. this was my first full dive into isekai/yuri brothel themed manga and i really enjoyed it. I will definitely be picking up the rest of this series

If Goldilocks and the 3 bears met little red riding hood i would like to think this would be their beautiful love child, with a twist of course.

In a picturesque village of Havenbrook where nothing out of the ordinary happens we meet our h Goldie, she loves the uneventful life she leads cooking up some delicious sounding cookies.

With her cookies packed up inside her cute wicker basket Goldie heads off to her grandmothers house. But when an unexpected bridge collapse happens causing Goldie to head into the enchanted grove on a detour. Within this beautiful and mystical grove that she finds herself coming across an charming and cozy cottage straight out of a story book. and here we meet Fenris (our H), a brooding, seriously dreamy werewolf (yes please). With threats looming from the Relentless huntress Red-Scarlett Hood and more lurking, how will Goldie & Fenris face their fears?

I rather enjoyed this story and found it cozy and sweet.
