Falling in Love with Books, One Story at a Time
Books rated 5-stars.
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.
(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.
Have you ever read a book that constantly changes your emotions while you read it? Well, that’s exactly what The Simple Wild did to me. I can’t believe it took me this long to read it, and thanks to the Romanceopoly Challenge, I made time for it and found a new author whose books I now need to read, especially if they are anything like this one. I knew from the synopsis and the prologue that this book was going to take a toll on me. I wasn’t expecting it to rip my heart out, though.
Overall, this is such an emotional and tense book that was hard to put down, and I give it five stars. I wish I could give it way more, but sadly these review sites won’t let me. Jeaniene Frost is definitely one author whose books I will always autobuy because of her action-packed, tense storylines and unforgettable and lovable characters.
(Reread June 2026) This book is still a 5-star read for me. I loved Naasir and Andromeda’s love story and finding out what Naasir was exactly and how he came to be(finally). I love how he stood up to an Ancient in this book and looked out for his mate. I loved how Naasir respected Andromeda and was willing to find the grimoire book before he claimed her as his mate. I loved that Andromeda is both a scholar and a warrior. She truly was the perfect mate for Naasir.
Once again, Eden Summers gave me another engaging, suspenseful, and steamy read, and I rate it five stars. I’m eager for the next installment, especially with how things ended for one of the brothers. I definitely plan on rereading this book before the next book comes out because it deserves to be read more than one time.
Delicate Escape is the second book in Catherine Cowles’s Sparrow Falls series. I’m officially a fan of Catherine Cowles after only two books, this one and the first book, because both immediately pulled me in. Her emotionally driven storylines and irresistible characters make her writing and stories riveting.
Re-read May 2026 before watching the TV adaptation. I still love Garrett and Hannah’s story. My original review remains the same below. I will forever love Garrett and Hannah’s fake dating storyline, which will always be one of my favorite tropes, even if it’s predictable.
If I could rate this series a million stars, I would. Five stars aren’t enough for this book or the series. (I’m crying while typing up this review, that’s how much this series has meant to me.)
Overall, an excellent read, I give it five stars. It kept me on edge, and the steamy moments between Bishop and Gage are intense. It definitely is one of my favorite books in the series, and I highly recommend it.
Okay, I finally understand the Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros hype. After finishing this book, I struggled to return to reality, especially after its intense ending. I’ve had this book on my shelf since its release, beckoning me each time I walked past, and I finally made time thanks to the Romanceopoly Challenge hosted by Under the Covers Book Blog. Now, it’s my goal to catch up with the series.
This was my second time reading this book (April 2026), and I loved it as much as before. Rereading showed me why Bluebell & Sparkle belong together, making their moments even more special. It also reminded me how much I couldn’t stand Lijuan. No one threatens Raphael & Elena.
Despite the emotional toll this book put me through, it deserves five stars (ten stars really). When I was reading, it made it impossible to keep neutral expressions; my husband noticed my reactions, a sure sign of a fantastic read. I’m excited to read the rest of this series and the spin-off books.
(April 2026) Third Time reading Archangel’s Blade and I still love it. Dimitri & Honor’s story is an emotional one that needed to be told. If you didn’t like Dimitri in the first three books, you’ll understand him better in this book.
This book in the series will stay with me for years. It definitely earned five stars, even though it gave me nightmares. I’m glad I started the series in 2020 because I’m more than determined to catch up on this series. Each book gets better, and J.D. Robb has truly won me over as a dedicated fan.
