Even though it’s not my favorite from B.K. Borison, I still enjoyed it and would recommend it if you want a cozy, fun read to help you get through this heat wave. Maybe if we all read more books set in the winter months, the weather will cool down. *Crossing fingers*
If you haven’t started this series yet and you enjoy action-packed and steamy Urban Fantasy with vampires, ghouls, ghosts, and more, you’re missing out. I highly recommend the audiobooks because the narrator is amazing. She does different accents for each character and really brings the story to life. Just go read the books; you won’t regret it.
The Hearts We Fumble is the final installment in Brooke O’Brien’s Braysen U series. Once again, I got a book with a great mix of sweet and spicy, packed with some of my favorite tropes. It also helps to listen to the book with narrators perfectly cast for the characters. Lee Samuels and Stefanie Kay brought Zane and Wyatt to life, and they did a fabulous job. I loved listening while following along with the ebook thanks to it being in KU.
(ReRead 2026) I thought it was time to reread The Hunger Games. I first read this book in 2012 and have been meaning to finish the trilogy and read the prequels for a while. I’m making time this year, especially since another movie is coming out. I prefer reading the books before watching the movies because adaptations often leave out or change a lot from the books.
After reading this book a second time and refreshing myself with the story, I can’t wait to read the second book very soon. My original rating of five stars and review of The Hunger Games still stand from 2012.
A Vow of Eternal Night is Lily Crozier’s debut novel delivering a Beauty and the Beast retelling, but this time the beast is a vampire. If vampires are coming back in popularity in Romance/Fantasy novels, I’m here for it. As a reader who never gave up her obsession with vampires and always picks up books featuring them, I couldn’t pass up Vow of Eternal Night by Lily Crozier. The book cover alone sold me before I even read the synopsis.
I read About That Kiss by Jill Shalvis eight years ago but realized I never reviewed it, so I decided to read it again to review it. Thank goodness I did because after reading it a second time, I realized how much I enjoy Jill Shalvis’s stories, especially the Heartbreaker Bay series that introduced me to her books. Each book introduces characters that feel like family and a great blend of humor and mystery, just like About That Kiss.
