Crooked Kingdom

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

⭐5 stars⭐

Crows remember human faces. They remember the people who feed them, who are kind to them. And the people who wrong them too. They don’t forget. They tell each other who to look after and who to watch out for.

Egomaniac

Egomaniac by Vi Keeland
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐️3.5 stars⭐️

"I'd like to report a robbery."

"Robbery? What exactly am I stealing? Your winning personality?"

She amended her complaint to the police. "A breaking and entering. I'd like to report a breaking and entering at 575 Park Avenue." She paused and listened. "No, I don't think he's armed. But he's big. Really big. At least six feet. Maybe bigger."

"And strong. Don't forget to tell them I'm strong, too. Want me to flex for you?"

"How much are you lifting?"

"Seven hundred."
Alrighty then. I will just stand over here, out of your way, and hope you don't remember to kick my ass.

He grinned. "Wanna spot me?"

"No thanks. How about I just scream verbal encouragements at you? No pain, no gain! That pain is just weakness leaving your body! Come on! Push! Push! Make that weight your bitch!"

A Court of Frost and Starlight

A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

⭐️2.5 stars⭐️

He'd seen Nesta in that particular pose, too. He called it her "I Will Slay My Enemies" pose.
Cassian had named about two dozen poses for Nesta at this point. Ranging from "I Will Eat Your Eyes for Breakfast" to "I Don't Want Cassian to Know I'm Reading Smut".
The latter was his particular favorite.

No more Feyre and Rhys, PLEASE. That's it. I've had enough. They honestly bore me to tears.
The whole Lucien-Azriel-Elain thing is stupid and also boring.
Tamlin.. Am I supposed to feel bad for him? I don't get it and I couldn't care less at this point.

The only characters I care about are my babies Cassian and Nesta. Maybe Amren and Lucien too.. And I really really hope there's more of them in the next books and much MUCH less Feysand because I don't think I can read another book focused on them.

Just gimme Cassian and Nesta.
That's about it.

Oh! I don't know if I mentioned this but Cassian is everything and I love him.

Ok, now I'm done.

Magic Bites

If you put any able-bodied man, no matter how peaceful, into a room with a sword and a practice dummy and leave him alone, eventually the man would pick up the sword and try to stab the dummy. It is human nature.

Neighbor Dearest

Neighbor Dearest by Penelope Ward
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

⭐️2.5 stars⭐️

You can't always get what you want. But don't be afraid to ask.

This was actually a solid 4 stars for me for the first half.. But then, of course, it went downhill. I don't know maybe it's me but I just enjoyed it less and less the longer i read. By the time I finished, I forgot all about the first half that I actually liked.

I'm starting to think this author just isn't for me. Although knowing me, I'll probably read more eventually.

The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐️4.5 stars⭐️

These masks we wear betray us. They reveal us.
We are never more ourselves than when we think people aren't watching.

Ok, that was awesome! I wasn't a big fan of the ending but I couldn't put the book down and that's actually all I wanted so there you go.
Loved it.

★Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of this book★

In the end it's time that gets us. It's not the fighting, or the conflict. It's the waiting for something that will never happen.

Everything's a game, Payton. That's the big secret. Work, life, sex.
If you're not playing one game, you're playing another.
If you can't tell you're playing a game? You're losing.

Heart on Fire

Heart on Fire by Amanda Bouchet
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

⭐️2.5 stars⭐️

A crushed spark never ignites. That's not how you fan the flame.

That was disappointing. The ending was a big fat "meh" (and I'm being nice here) and if there is ever another book or a novella after this to tie up the huge amount of lose ends, I might come back and fix my rating. But right now I'm angry. I honestly kept reading this for the Beta Team and none of them got any closure. Not cool.

[And what the hell was that thing with Kato? I'm furious! And what about the rest of my babies? Ugh! There better be more.. (hide spoiler)]

A heart of iron means I do not break. You cannot break me. I may not be the strongest, or the fastest, or the best, but I will fight. I will fight for everyone I love. I will fight for myself.

A Promise of Fire

A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐️3 stars⭐️

There's magic in spoken language. It's binding. There's a reason people ask for someone else's word.
Every sentence a person utters can be a promise—or a betrayal.

So.. Griffin and Cat are stupid. I sound like a 5 year old but I can't like them and that's a problem when it's the main characters. I'm taking one star out for each of them and giving it three for the rest of the Beta Team because they are now my babies and I think I love them.

Cat. Griffin. Please be less stupid in the next books because I love Greek Mythology and you're kinda ruining it for me.

Birthday Girl

Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐️4 stars⭐️

It's always the same wish.
Every candle. Every time.
I want a life I never want to take a vacation from.
That's my goal.

Gah! I love this woman and I will read anything she writes.

My only issue with this one was Pike. The hot piece of ass let me down and made me want to smack him on his stupid head. If there was an option to do that and get it out of my system it would be a 5 star read.
Loved it.

"Six years to the day we met, Harry, d'yeh remember it?"

"Vaguely," said Harry, grinning up at him. "Didn't you smash down the front door, give Dudley a pig's tail, and tell me I was a wizard?"

"I forget the details."
