Good evening, Bookstagram 🥰 . I love what Fairyloo

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.

📖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 evening Bookstagram 🥰
.
I’ve finished “Something Fabulous” by Alexis Hall a few hours ago and really enjoyed this read. I’ve borrowed it on Kindle Unlimited so for those of you that are interested feel free to check this book out!
.
📑 - “I am, however,” Valentine continued, “uncertain that I’ll fit through the window.” Bonny’s fingers flickered, entirely unconcerned. “Of course you’ll fit. You’ll just have to wriggle a bit.” Valentine was about to explain, in no uncertain terms, that he did not wriggle.
.
💭- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Something Fabulous” is a witty and very entertaining queer read. I just couldn’t stop laughing at some passages and quite liked the writing of the author.

🏝️ On Island Time by Morgan Rooney E-ARC review ‼️

🏝️ On Island Time by Morgan Rooney E-ARC review
‼️ A review copy of this book has been sent to me in exchange for an honest review.
.
📖 SYNOPSIS:
One summer can change everything.
Marnie Stevens has her eyes set on becoming a museum curator. She is a finalist for a new promotion and is one step closer to achieving that dream, until an unexpected twist of fate lands her on the picturesque island of Martha’s Vineyard for the summer. To prove she is the top candidate for the promotion, she must plan and launch an exhibit themed around Jaws, a film woven into the island’s history and culture. With a deadline looming to unveil her exhibit, Marnie has no time to be seduced by a beautiful island, mouthwatering pumpkin spice lattes, or the handsome contractor tasked with building her exhibit sets and bringing her vision to life.
Caleb Hansen has lived his entire life on Martha’s Vineyard, following the predetermined path of working for his family’s contracting company while navigating a complicated relationship with his father. He agrees to do one more job. Then he’s done for good. But when he’s tasked as the lead contractor on the new Jaws exhibit with the island’s historical society, he meets Marnie, and everything changes. While working together, their relationship blooms into something more, and he finds his creative spark reignited. Marnie encourages him to pursue his own dreams, while Caleb tempts her to bend her rule of no workplace romances.
The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to resist Caleb’s charm, and Marnie finds herself blurring the professional boundaries she’s put in place while trying to keep the exhibit on track. With summer quickly coming to an end, Marnie starts to question what she’s wanted all along after discovering just how sweet it can be to live on island time.
.
💭 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was a great summer read. Caleb and Marnie have really good chemistry and I was rooting so much for a happy ending because how can you not? They were so cute together! I Getting both of their perspectives through the dual POV made the whole story feel so much deeper and sweeter.
If you want a beach read then give “On Island Time” a try! 🥰

📚 e-ARC review 📚
.
💭 Bloodstone is a story full of archaeology, hidden societies, and treasure hunts, where our FMC is being hunted by Nazis. It’s also a historical romance/fantasy fiction novel.
.
Mel, our FMC, is suddenly thrown into a dangerous hunt involving dark ancient magic, fascists, and secrets connected to her past.
.
I absolutely loved the setting and the action scenes. I also liked that the romance was a true slow burn and didn’t become the sole focus of the book.
.
The only part I didn’t enjoy as much was the pacing of the story itself. Personally, I found it a bit slow at times, but that’s just my own perspective.
.
What to expect:
📿Ancient magic amulet
🔮Hot-headed archaeologist fmc
📿 Brooding love interest
🔮Slow-burn romantic sub-plot
📿 Chaotic good trio
🔮Banter
📿 Hidden society
🔮Punching faşcists
📿 Tattoo magic

Good evening Bookstagram, how are we feeling today

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

Hello Bookstagram 🥰

Quote: “I nod. More awkward nodding, and then silence. Again. Okay. This is way too uncomfortable. I’m going to install motion sensors in every room in the house so I can make sure our paths never cross again—”
.
Today I’m back with a new post about my recent reads. If you’ve already seen the Instagram story from yesterday you probably already know that I’ve finished “Under one roof” by Ali Hazelwood.
.
This story was a cute enemies to lovers novella and the first part in the steminist series. After the passing of Liam’s aunt and Mara’s mentor, both have to live together and let’s just say that none of them wants to live with the other let alone share the same house. Until sparks start to fly.
.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t my favorite book by Ali Hazelwood and the steamy scenes left me uncomfortable to be honest. I just found them a bit too cringe 😅

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.
