📚All time favorite Duologies📚 . I’ve been thinking

📚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 ?

Today I’m back with a bookish review as you can see above 🥰 I had lots of fun reading this book and really enjoyed my time.
.
💭 Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
A Taste of Limoncello was such an addictive read. It’s told in dual POV and tells us how Ava and Dax really feel, especially about each other 😜

This story strikes a nice balance between sweet and spicy and you can really feel the tension between our two MCs. As the story was partially set in Italy, the author also managed to make the whole reading experience feel like an escape from reality.

If you’re looking for something that’s sweet and spicy at the same time I can only recommend reading « A taste of Limoncello » 🍋
.

📚 What to expect:
🍷Workplace Romance
🍋One Bed
🍷Friends to Lovers
🍋Slow Burn with high heat
🍷Italian Travel Romance
.

Thanks to HappilyBookedPR and @arianaerazo_author for the e-arc copy.

Vor ein paar Minuten hab ich “Honesty” von Franzi Kopka gelesen und WTF 😳 ich hab dieses Buch so gesuchtet und einfach nicht genug davon bekommen!
Wir befinden uns in einer Welt, in der Lügen der Vergangenheit angehören und jeder nur die Wahrheit sagt. Emotionen werden ebenfalls nicht mehr geduldet, bzw. nur jene die einen unbedacht handeln lassen. Allerdings empfindet unsere Protagonistin Mae leider auch jene Emotionen welche sie eigentlich gar nicht mehr fühlen dürfte. So versucht Mae so gut sie kann nicht aufzufallen und vor allem nicht aufzufliegen, denn ihr Geheimnis ist lebensgefährlich. Wäre da nur nicht dieser attraktive Typ, der sie jedes Mal zur Weißglut bringt.

Hello bookstagram and happy new year! 🥳 Today I finished my first book of the year and let me say this I didn’t manage to find out who the real murderer was until it all made sense. So I’m still under shock about this information 😂 Which also means that the athor managed to get me hooked until the very end. Book 2 has already been ordered at my favorite bookstore so can’t wait to read what’s next in Castle Knoll 🤭

Thanks to my secret santa at work for this great pick! This book really managed to keep me entertained during these past few days of festive season.

Good evening Bookstagram, how are we feeling today ? 🥰
I’m definitely back in the reading game and out of the reading slump so yay 🥳 Which is why I’ve finished yet another book yesterday.
.
Twisted Hate is the third book in the Twisted series and like the 2 other books this one didn’t disappoint either. With this book we had the perfect enemies to lovers story and oh boy some of these scenes were 🥵 Be aware of the trigger warnings because this read was definitely not an easy one. Be it in terms of degradation or even the background story of Jules. So if you don’t feel at ease with some of the themes happening in the book, it might be better to just skip this one.
.
We also get to see a lot of the previous couples which was fun.
.
Twisted Hate wasn’t my favorite one in the series so it clearly didn’t manage to throw Twisted Games of its throne but I enjoyed reading Jules and Josh’s love story.
.
Trigger Warnings: Abusive parents, Blackmail, Death of a parent, Death of a minor, dubious consent, Sexual Harassment and Blackmail

📖 Key Change - Hotel Belleweather #2 by @caradion.author
.
💭 Review:
Key Change is the second instalment in the Hotel Bellweather Series. However you don’t have to read them in the published order. I haven’t read the first book in this series and had no trouble following the storyline! The chemistry between our love interest is instantly matching and soon Jo finds herself to become the nanny of her new Beau’s child. But nothing is as easy as it seems and new rules have to be applied.
.
I really liked the writing. It felt fluid and was very easy to follow. Both characters are adorable in their own way. The book is really steamy 🤭 and very fun. I can only recommend it. The beginning is a bit slow but afterwards you’re in for a ride 🥰
.
🌟 4/5 stars
.
‼️Disclaimer: I received an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review

Key Change is now available!

What to expect:
🌊single dad / nanny
💛vacation romance
🌊age gap
💛grumpy / sunshine
🌊spicy novella
💛edging
🌊soft Dom / brat

Happy Sunday, Bookstagram 🥰 . I’m officially back

Happy Sunday, Bookstagram 🥰
.
I’m officially back from my Amsterdam City trip, so it’s time to show you my read on this journey. On my train ride, I read the first book of the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn, and I immensely enjoyed my time. For those of you who know me personally, you probably know that I loved the TV adaptation with Shonda Rhimes as an executive producer, and I seriously can’t get enough of the Bridgerton Family😅
.
So, in this 1st book, we follow Daphne Bridgerton, the oldest girl in the family and the fourth child. She meets her brother’s best friend, Duke Simon Basset, and there is a spark between these two, even though it’s forbidden terrain. Simon made a promise to Daphne’s brother not to touch her, and he made a vow to himself to never get married. However, as the single young women on the ton want to become a duchess or, to be more precise, their mothers want this life for them, he needs an exit route soon. Daphne, on the other hand, doesn’t want to get married to a man of the ton who she won’t be able to love, and soon they decide to make a pact to fake their “relationship”. We all know by now that this arrangement will not work well, which means a lot of drama. And we are here for the drama! 😄
.
I especially love the relationship between the Bridgerton siblings, their witty banter and how everyone has each other's back. The relationship between Daphne and Simon is also exceptional, even though, towards the end, we’ve reached a very problematic passage, which is why this book wasn’t a 5-star read for me. However, the writing style was fluid, and I flew through the story. It was delightful to read, and if you are a fan of the TV show, you have to try this first book.

Dance for Me by @de.renauthor
.
📖About the book:
The curtains are drawn. The stage is set. Are you ready to play?

🌟Harper
Cirque is the legacy I will leave behind, a playground for the grown and elite. As the contortionists bend and costumes are shed, a new threat builds from within, aiming to lead Cirque down a dark path and destroy my name in the process. In a world that feeds off blurred lines and questionable morals, I only have one rule in my club that garners no mercy: no drugs. Ever. Now someone is using the one thing I fight against and mocking me with it, exploiting Cirque as a front and my name as a scapegoat. The evidence against me is stacking up and I can’t afford to lose focus now, can’t afford to show any weakness. Then he walked in, challenging my solitude, and breathing life into desires I long ago buried. I can’t afford the distraction, but the more I let him in, the farther I can feel my mask slipping away.

🌟Colton
It was only supposed to be a job, nothing more than a means to an end. Everything I knew about the cold, ruthless club owner should have been enough to keep me far away, but when a twist of fate alters my job description, I find myself constantly at her side. Promises of keeping my head down and staying out of trouble are forgotten memories as my desire for her grows with my need to protect her. I need to find out who is impersonating Harper and stop the threats against her, but more than anything, I just need her. I play with her patience, and she plays with my self-control, each smile and touch pulling me further on stage. It was only supposed to be a job, but the further I’m dragged into her world, the harder it is to remember I was never meant to be a player in this act.

🎪Black Cat x Golden Retriever
🎪Boss x Employee
🎪Sisterly Love
🎪Circus Theme Nightclub
🎪Down Bad MMC

Good morning, bookstagram! 🥰 I’m finally back with

Good morning, bookstagram! 🥰 I’m finally back with a post after how many weeks (even months, I guess)? Thank you reading Slump 😂
.
However, “City of Fallen Angels” has gotten me out of that crazy slump! And what a joy it has been to be back in this series 😍 I know I’m so late to the party, but this series is so intimidating. I don’t even know how many books exist in the Shadowhunter world. So, it is intimidating. But I want to catch up ASAP, as the next book has already been ordered.😁
.
My thoughts 💭:
So, “City of Fallen Angels” wasn’t my favourite book in the series, but I still enjoyed reading it. It felt so good to be back in the world and to see how they are evolving after the events of the third book. Surprisingly, I remembered most of it even though it had been years since I’d read City of Glass.
Those of you who’ve been following me on my blog since the beginning probably know that The Infernal Devices Trilogy is my favourite in the whole world and that I’ve never been much of a fan of the writing style in the “Mortal Instruments” series compared to the Infernal Devices one. However, in this book, it didn’t irritate me that much, and I quite enjoyed it even. I think that I tended to forget in the past that Clary and her friends are only teenagers who aren’t even 18 yet for most of them. So it is kind of normal for them to behave like 16-year-old kids, and the writing style has to adapt to this situation as well.
.
Can we talk about the ending, please? Can’t they be left alone for a second and live in peace? Is that too much to ask 😅 I’ve nearly got a heart attack 😂
