📚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 ?

📚E-Arc Review . 📖 Key Change - Hotel Belleweather

📚E-Arc Review
.
📖 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

📚e-ARC Bookish Review📚
.
In “Favors from a Gentleman”, Sophie St. Quinton’s life changes forever after her brother’s death. Haunted by secrets from her past, she finds herself blackmailing a mysterious stranger in hopes of finding closure.
.
💭 My thoughts:

Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy this historical fiction novel as much as I had hoped. The story never fully managed to capture my attention. I may have compared it a little too much to Bridgerton, but despite that, it was still a lovely read. I especially enjoyed Rafe and Sophie’s dynamic, and I thought the writing style and pacing were both very solid.
.
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟

❔Do you like to read books set in the regency era?

📚e-arc Review📚

Happy Release day to “The Fae Guardian” by @ellethrasherauthor 🥳 When you swipe to the right you will see two graphics that were premade by @behindthepagespa
.
I recently finished this wonderfully written romantasy, and I just couldn’t put my Kobo down while reading this story. We follow Princess Freija, the heir to the throne. For years, she was trained to be perfect, but then a threat to her life emerges, and everything changes. She is assigned a guard, and soon her image of herself starts to crack. Freija simply cannot resist her guard, but loving him is forbidden. Soon, she has to choose between an arranged marriage and her own wellbeing…
.
💭 The setting was absolutely beautiful, as was the writing style. While reading The Fae Guardian, I felt like I was a character in the book, and I could vividly visualise the scenes. The witty banter between Freija and Halvar was entertaining as hell, and I just couldn’t stop smirking 🤭
.
This book also has some plot twists that leave you on the edge of your seat, including one major twist that I saw coming but still enjoyed anyway. The pacing was perfectly done, and I flew through the book.
.
The only thing that makes me sad is that it’s a standalone 😭 But apparently, there are other fae books by Elle Thrasher out in the world, so I’ll get over it 😂
.
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️

❔Who else loves everything that has to do with the nordic culture?

Hello Bookstagram 🥰 . Yesterday I posted a review

Hello Bookstagram 🥰
.
Yesterday I posted a review of “Dear Enemy” (link in bio) on the blog and today it’s time to share it with the Booksta bubble.
.
💭 Delilah and Macon absolutely hate each other since childhood. Delilah couldn’t have been happier about the fact that her sister Samantha wasn’t in a relationship with Macon anymore because now she didn’t have to see him anymore. Unfortunately her sister messed up and now Delilah has to step in in order to pay her sister’s debt. Which means moving in with Macon and working as his personal chef. Hell is going to break loose. Or could it be that both parties are mutually attracted to each other?
.
I did have my troubles getting into the story. However after a few chapters Delilah managed to convince me to continue reading it 😅 and am I glad that I didn’t DNF “Dear Enemy “ because I might have just found a new auto-buy author. Callihan’s writing style is great and the author just had a way to write the banter between both protagonists that I just couldn’t stop laughing during those scenes. I absolutely loved Delilah 🤩

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 😂.

🎉2025 recap🎉

2025 was a mixed bag. Reading wasn't on point, but at least I have memories that I will remember forever 🥰.

After facing tough times with 2 losses in my family, we celebrated life with my wedding. Now I'm looking forward to 2026, hoping it'll be the year I dive back into books 🙈 and enjoy some well-deserved calm after no more wedding planning.

My TBR is ready and waiting 😂

Happy New Year everyone 🥳🥳

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.
