Offside Hearts

This was hella spicy, 5/5 for that, but the plot was only kind of meh. It’s a light read, and I still really liked it.  Not really sure what else to say about this book, honestly. Because the spicy scenes and some of the romantic scenes were the best part of the book. The character […]

The Paradise Problem

Ooooh, this one was an enchanting read! In the acknowledgement the authors say that they hope the book felt like it was written happily during a continuous stretch of warm summer days. And friends, it delivers. Quirky artsy FMC with a brooding MMC and their marriage of convenience. I loved every moment of this book. […]

Well and Truly Pucked

Since I freaking loved the first three in this series and the novella, it is a surprise to absolutely NO ONE I loved the most recent addition as well. This was a light, hot read. I would recommend this for the beach, but you might want to read this where you have access to your partner, or […]

Take Me Home

This was a very sweet, slow burn frenemies to lovers. It is one of those books that I can feel the emotion in my palms, if that makes any sense. Because I have sunk so far into smut reading, this is a different sort of romance than I currently read, but the kind of romance […]

The Five Stages of Courting Dalisay Ramos

This was a delight to read. There were parts that I actually laughed out loud at. The clowns – THE CLOWNS! I was dying! The dialogue was snappy and snarky in places, and I love me some snark. I absolutely loved the different aspects of two cultures and their assumptions coming together in this story. There were […]

Love Songs

Love Songs is another Michigan author written book, by D.K. Marie. I found this book at the Author’s Alley event that is sponsored by 2 Dandelions Bookshop (which is expanding!) in Brighton, MI. I attended with my husband and daughter, towards the end of the event. There were several children’s authors there, and as we […]

Humor Me

Short break from Zodiac Academy for a light, frilly rom com – a perfect beach read! As a Michigander, it was a delight to read a romance novel set in the place I have lived my entire life. I picked this up at Book Suey in Hamtramck during the MI Book Hop. The author is […]

Zodiac Academy: Shadow Princess

WHAT THE FUCK!? How am I supposed to just stop reading these now and go read SIX other books to have the best impact?! WHY. The friend who got me hooked on these (ELYSE) sent the rest of book club this tiktok, as her endorsed way to read the series (she is not the tiktoker […]

Zodiac Academy: The Reckoning

Ok, biggest thing that I was glad to see in this book was that the twins’ orders finally emerged. I was so tired of waiting for that. The biggest thing I am not thrilled that the bullying is still going on. Like, y’all got bigger problems to worry about then who hates each other more […]

Zodiac Academy: Ruthless Fae

What is happening to me. I am writing this after having just finished Shadow Princess, because I am a monster who cannot be stopped! I have read Ruthless Fae, The Reckoning, and Shadow Princess over the last few days and I am literally forcing myself to stop to write these up. (The Awakening review is […]
