I really enjoyed this! Chaos in a book and utterly bonkers. It was like a mix of greek fantasy, dystopian future where they speak Latin sometimes. Alexis was unhinged and traumatised and with her POV it was a bit like a fever dream. The occasional alternative POVs gave some clarity. I wasn't expecting that end and I'm excited to get more answers in the next book!

This was a really cute and enjoyable romance. I enjoyed the sort of fake dating and of course the good natured manipulation by the town. I definitely have a lot in common with the FMC so that was fun.

Such a brilliant ending to the trilogy! I love the world this is set in and after the events at the end of book 2 I couldn't wait to continue. It was full of political intrigue, spies, Fae bargains, feminine rage, tension and romance. I tried to savour it but I couldn't help but devour it. I enjoyed all the new twists and discoveries. I loved that a couple of my own theories were right! This book made me cry, laugh and of course swoon over Bastian! Hoping to see more in the Saberverse

A cute paranormal romance novella. A couple of quirky characters and a problem they needed to overcome. I'm looking forward to reading the main series.

I loved this! A great mix of some of my favourite things about romantasy. I loved that the FMC was strong and clever from the start and stood her ground. There were some twists and turns that I did not expect and I can't wait to find out what happens next!

An enjoyable, slightly silly Christmas romance.
