📖E-ARC REVIEW📖 . 📚 Tangled in Jasmine by Elise Cor

📖E-ARC REVIEW📖
.
📚 Tangled in Jasmine by Elise Corva
.
I haven’t read the first one in this series and I had no trouble at all to follow the story. Both books I’m reviewing in this series can be read as standalones.
“Tangled in Jasmine” delivers all the feelings and definitely had me hooked from the beginning. 😍
.
It is full of emotional tension and of course a messy history between our main characters. As the story is written in dual POV you will get to experience the heartbreak and their feelings even more.
.
I felt like I was part of the tour and secretly fell like a fangirl especially over the love story.
This was for sure nearly impossible to put down. 🤭
.
📚Amber eyes and alibis review:
.
The third book was even more of a rollercoaster. “Amber Eyes and Alibis” dives into trauma and the love between Jasmine, who was once a fangirl, and the rockstar Jonathan. In my opinion there was a lot of soulmate energy out there and their chemistry felt so real. This story really showed whether or not our main characters were meant for each other. Be ready for the spice 😜🤭

Hello Bookstagram 🥰

Just finished “The Last One at the Wedding” by Jason Rekulak and this has been a thrilling journey. It has been my first book by this author and it will certainly not be my last. I enjoyed the writing style and the pacing. Can we also please talk about these twists?😍.

📖 Avis de lecture 📖
.
Ce que les étoiles doivent à la nuit de Anne-Gaëlle Huon @editionsalbinmichel
.
💭Comme prévu, ce livre est devenu un vrai coup de cœur ❤️
Je ne savais pas que c’était la suite d’un autre livre de l’autrice, mais pour être honnête, je n’ai pas eu de difficulté à suivre l’histoire, puisqu’il met en avant un autre personnage principal.

J’ai beaucoup aimé les différents points de vue, ainsi que les timelines alternatives. Cette histoire est vraiment émouvante, entre les hauts et les bas que traversent Liz et les autres personnages de « Ce que les étoiles doivent à la nuit ».

Je ne voulais même pas que cette belle histoire s’arrête, tant j’ai aimé découvrir le parcours de Liz et la voir évoluer ✨

Dommage que je n’aie pas pu goûter ce qu’elle a préparé tout au long de l’histoire 😜

📚All time favorite Duologies📚
.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Monsters of Verity Duology recently and just had to share these with you. I’ve read the Duology back in the day when the books first came out and I am still not over what happened. 😭 Why did you do this to me V.E Schwab? 😭😅
.
But on a more serious note: READ THIS DUOLOGY! Your heart will probably break but it is about monsters and their hunters so what else do you need to be happy? Definitely no heart and soul🤣 What are you waiting for? Go read it! and believe me you won’t be disappointed.
.
📖 Books featured:
- This Savage Song
- Our Dark Duet
by @veschwab @torbooks

💭 What’s this book about?
Dark Urban Fantasy about a divided city where you can find real monsters. Kate and August, our main protagonists couldn’t be any more different as one has to hunt the other and the monster amongst them wants nothing more than to become human or at least feel like it.
.
❔This duology came out a few years ago and I still remember everything that happened which actually says a lot about my reading experience 🤣 What about you have you read these and what js one of your favourite Duology ?

Good evening, Bookstagram 🥰

I love what Fairyloot does with their books, and I just had to reshow you one from last year!
.
Synopsis:
In a world where the children of the gods inherit their powers, a descendant of the Greek Fates must solve a series of impossible murders to save her sisters, her soulmate, and her city for fans of Song of Achilles.

Descendants of the Fates are always born in threes: one to weave, one to draw, and one to cut the threads that connect people to the things they love and to life itself. The Ora sisters are no exception. Io, the youngest, uses her Fate-born abilities as a private investigator in the half-sunken city of Alante.

But her latest job leads her to a horrific discovery: somebody is abducting women, maiming their life-threads, and setting the resulting wraiths loose in the city to kill. To find the culprit, she must work alongside Edei Rhuna, the right hand of the infamous Mob Queen—and the boy with whom she shares a rare fate-thread linking them as soul mates before they’ve even met.

The investigation turns personal when Io’s estranged oldest sister shows up on the arm of her best suspect. Amid unveiled secrets from her past and her growing feelings for Edei, Io must follow clues through the city’s darkest corners and unearth a conspiracy that involves some of the city’s most powerful players before destruction comes to her own doorstep.

Good evening Bookstagram 🥰

I’m having a severe reaction to my allergies and even had to take a sick day today because of a very bad fever which frankly didn’t make my day 😅 But on the bright side I’ve managed to finish my book and oh my gosh I’m still speechless. Riley Sager did it again 😍
“The only one left” was definitely a fantastic read and every single time when I was sure to know what’s really going on, the author went and did a complete twist that made me gasp! The suspense was most certainly there and it made me even forget my constant coughing and sneezing 😂
.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yeah I definitely recommend this book!

💭”Love means constantly saying you’re sorry, and then doing better” - Emily Henry, Happy Place
.
Here is a repost of one of my favorite summer romances. The only new thing is the picture because I can’t seem to find the one from 2023. My opinion of the book hasn’t change however 😜
And now enjoy this little throwback ❤️
.
I read “Happy Place” by Emily Henry a while ago and absolutely loved it. It is even one of my favourite reads, and I couldn’t get enough of this book. 😍

In “Happy Place” we follow Harriet, a young woman who spends every summer in a Holiday House with her friends. They’re always staying a whole week. However, this year is going to be a little bit different. It will be their last year at their so-called Happy Place, and Harriet isn’t engaged anymore. But this is a piece of information that no one is aware of. Not even her best friends. To top all of this. Wyn (her ex-fiancé) will also be present at the Holiday House, which is why both of them pretend to still be engaged and they fake their feelings. But will their show be enough to convince their friends that nothing is wrong?

“Happy Place” was such a cute and fun read and a perfect summer read. However, be prepared to have a box of tissues next to you because you’ll probably need those while reading this wonderful book.

💭My thoughts:
I loved reading “Remember me” by KJ Pointer and was absolutely invested in Lotties and Jakes story 😍
The contrast between the introverted FMC and the very confident hockey star was done well. I also appreciated the fact that Jake never gave up on Lottie even when both of their worlds fell apart. He always showed up for her.
.
This book deals with a lot! It is an emotional rollercoaster dealing with the loss of parents, lots of grief and even panic attacks. So be aware of all of those things in case they might be triggering for you.
.
The writing was easy to get into, the chapters had the perfect length and it was quickly paced. I really flew through this. If you love a good and emotional sports romance between childhood best friends, the you should definitely give “Remember me” a try 🥰

How are we doing today? I just finished the second book in the Dreamland Billionaires series and I quite enjoyed my reading journey 😍
.
The first book in this trilogy will still be my favourite 🤩 I just loved Rowan and Zahra are just my fave bookish couple! However, I must say that Declan and Iris aren’t too bad either. I especially loved their banter and how they got in this mess in the first place 😆 Let’s start the third book ASAP.

Hi #Booksta 🥰 How is everyone?

The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden is the second book that I’ve read by this author and again I wasn’t disappointed. You could even say that these plot twists made me mad. 😭 Every time that I thought that I’ve figured out who the bad guy was, the author managed to prove me wrong 😅. So this book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat! I’m still not okay by how it ended 😂.
