Miya, Kai, Ama, Crowbar and Gavran are back once again, solving yet another mystery and...adopting a cat!! A cat was the last thing I was expecting frMiya, Kai, Ama, Crowbar and Gavran are back once again, solving yet another mystery and...adopting a cat!! A cat was the last thing I was expecting from Kai, especially since he's the Big Bad Wolf and all that, but it somehow fits.
So, I know that Wildblood can be read as a standalone, but I decided to read the duology that came before it anyway. You don't HAVE to do that, everything you need to know is explained inside, and you get to know Kai better.
At the same time though, I'm glad I was able to experience Kai and Miya's beginnings, and watch them grow throughout each book, and with each challenge they face. So if you can, I'd recommend reading The Chaos Cycle first.
This time we follow only two PoVs, and Kai's is the main one. I won't lie, I definitely miss Mason from the past books and wonder what happened to him, but I suppose they wouldn't have had a reason to mention him.
Kai deals with a lot of stuff internally, which just makes me want to give him a big hug. If anyone needs therapy, it's him. Luckily, Miya convinces him to go and he actually listens. You can feel the development as you read, it doesn't come overnight, but by the end of the book, he's better at dealing with his emotions.
He's also a fighter now, which ultimately leads him into trouble (no surprise). Miya meanwhile, has become really confident in her powers and uses them in ways we haven't seen before, in order to find a missing girl.
Their relationship is stronger than ever, but still has its ups and downs. Either way, you can feel their love through the screen. There's also a higher steamy scene count than before, just putting that out there!!
As a Slavic, and specifically Serbian, reader, I love when I see little things from my culture sprinkled into a story. Be it creatures from our mythology or just characters with accurate, familiar names. Wildblood has both. At this point I know I'm going to have a little something to look forward to each time I pick up a book by this author.
Vrana mixes in some creatures non-Slavic readers might be familiar with (like the domovoy), as well as lesser known ones (bukavac, leshy). There's also an Irish mythological creature that fits in perfectly.
I'd say the first two books had more of a fairytale/folklore feel than this one though, which is pure urban fantasy. The vibes are still there, just a bit different.
The writing is even better than it was, and the story is just as engaging. I really hope this isn't the end for these characters, I want to see them going on more adventures, picking up new strays, maybe reuniting with Mason?? Fingers crossed.
Also, A.J. Vrana, THANK YOU for making Miya tall!!!! I don't recall her height being mentioned previously, but here we learn she's 5'9, which qualifies for my "tall girl rep" shelf. Never enough tall female MCs if you ask me.
Anywayyyyy, listen to me and go read this series from the beginning!!! Kai, Miya and the gang are all amazing characters who deserve your attention.

Three years have passed since the events of the first book, and Kai and Miya are now...demon hunters, facing both old and new foes alike.
The world andThree years have passed since the events of the first book, and Kai and Miya are now...demon hunters, facing both old and new foes alike.
The world and lore got such an expansion in this one, there was almost a bigger focus on it than the new mystery, but it all ties together, carried over from book one.
I feel like the atmosphere was lighter, and there were no slower parts, everything moved at a medium pace. It was really easy for me to jump back in, despite the in-world time skip.
We still follow Kai, Miya and Mason, but there's a few other PoVs we get later on that are important to the story. They help to explain what was, and what will be (I'm channeling my inner Gavran, can you tell?).
The romance is deeper, and you get to see just how deep it goes at the end, it's true devotion, the kind that makes even undead mermaids bawl.
There was something that happened to Kai that made me want to screech, I was like "not agaaaain" and then he went and did something stupid and AGH. It gets fixed, don't worry, but for a portion of the book, he and Miya were apart and IT HURT ME.
On a lighter note, there were more Serbian names that popped up, and a demon called Drekalo which is actually a screeching creature in Slavic mythology, so I was not the only one wanting to screech!! There was also a Rusalka (hence the undead mermaid), so now I'm wondering which other creatures will show up in Wildblood.
I do kinda wish that more of this series was based around Slavic myths, but I'll take what I can get.
The ending wrapped things up once again, but left the door open for more adventures. Which we are getting, TODAY, because Wildblood is out and I am on my way to read it, yes sir.
P. S. I'm glad Ama found her happy ending as well. Mason next?? Fingers crossed....more
If you need me in the next few business days - don't, BECAUSE I'LL STILL BE CRYING OVER THIS BOOK!!! I know Disco Witches of Fire Island won't be for If you need me in the next few business days - don't, BECAUSE I'LL STILL BE CRYING OVER THIS BOOK!!! I know Disco Witches of Fire Island won't be for everyone, but it was just about perfect for me.
I started reading it and was instantly transported into a hilarious and heartbreaking story that will stay with me for years to come.
I loved the concept, the characters, the setting and of course the magic. You pair disco and witches, I'll come running. As a dancer myself, I love how their power comes from it, and reading the acknowledgements makes the whole thing even sweeter.
We could've used a few more details about the magic itself, that's this book's only little flaw, but the rest was amazing.
I learned quite a few things I didn't know before, like Fire Island's history. I may have heard about it at some point, but if I did, I don't remember. I'm also not from the US, so you'll have to excuse me.
Blair Fell made it all feel incredibly vivid, and now Fire Island is on my list of places to visit. I'll absolutely be reading up on it more when I'm done with this review.
I also loved how every chapter starts with the Disco Witch Manifesto, and how unapologetically queer everyone is. It's a breath of fresh air.
A big theme throughout is Joe learning to find that freedom, while recovering from a huge loss. He has to learn to trust again, and not let his own worries and insecurities way him down. Easier said than done.
Joe's growth by the end is evident, and it's one of the best parts of this read. Ronnie evolved similarly, though I wish that last big change happened a few chapters earlier, so we could enjoy it for longer.
Howie and Lenny were the real stars of the show, I adored every second they were on-page. What I'd give to meet them and give them a hug...my babies.
We kept getting fed nuggets of information from their perspectives, about their magic and the Great Darkness that was coming. It kept me on my toes for sure, I couldn't wait to find out where it was all heading.
Romance wise, I shipped Joe and Fergal from their very first meeting, I knew there was something there. And I like how (relatively) slow they took it. Some of that was due to Joe being a bit of a mess, but it's okay, he was grieving.
Vince and Ronnie's side romance was equally compelling, and it felt realistic. Both romances did actually, they had ups and downs, and came out better because of it.
The ending made me hunger for a sequel, so fingers crossed we get one in the future. I don't want this to be the end!!!!
The Disco Witches story is truly unique, and, dare I say, a perfect read for Pride Month. It's full of whimsy as well as history, you really can't go wrong with giving it a try.

Do you guys remember what I said about Ravinica's origins in my last review, the guess I had? Well, I was wrong. But, we found out exactly what she is now, and how it all came to be and I'm very satisfied with the answers.
We also got to learn more about a certain mate's past, 100% did not see that coming. I'm glad the gang has another person on their team now, and one who's pretty cool to boot.
I actually didn't pay as much attention to that character previously, but they really grew on me during the course of the book. If anything happens to them in the next one, I fear I may cry.
ALSO, loved that Shadowblade Academy shout out. So then they *ARE* in the same world? Excuse me while I go get ready for a crossover. I'm kidding, but I like knowing it's a possibility.
I am now thinking back to the series, wondering if there were any clues even back then...
Anyway, my absolute favourite parts of this book were set on the other side of the portal (oh yes, they went there). I too would like to visit a spring-hold, thanks.
The way that realm was described sounds so magical, I'd love to live there. Preferably in the forest though, something tells me the elves who dwell there are the coolest.
That was also where Ravinica changed, in so many ways. I'm a lil obsessed with the Folkvang scene/chapter, IT WAS SO PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL, literally my fav in the whole book, and such a fitting end for that character.
Speaking of endings, when those rumbles started and Ravinica was like "oh I thought nothing of it" I was like I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS!!! And boy, was I right! I can't wait to see how they'll deal with this threat, and then hopefully bring peace to all the realms?
No but, I was hoping these specific creatures would make an appearance sooner or later, so I'm STOKED we're finally getting to see them.
LASTLY, I do forgive Arne. Kinda, sorta, a lil bit. I'm anticipating I will have fully forgiven him by the time book four is out.
Oh, and we still don't like Eirik, just throwing that in there for good measure.

I had an arc of book one and loved I know this is a duology, but hear me out, five books? Four books? I'll even settle for three PLEASE I NEED MORE!!!
I had an arc of book one and loved it to bits, but this release went a bit off the radar for me, so I was really exited when I saw it was finally out.
It's such a brilliant sequel, I can't say which book I love more. While the first focused on Cass trying to find herself, this one really leaned into her embracing her destiny. AND, we got to see (and meet) Arthur, Merlin and the Knights too.
The dreamy writing style is still present and perfect for the story, I'd like to go back to this dream again and again thanks!!
I just adore the way this was written, the choices made relating to each character, in which light to paint them, and the huge emphasis on women being forgotten throughout history no matter how grand their contributions.
Cass grew so much during her journey, and I'm so glad I got to know her and the rest of the women. They'll continue living in my head rent free forevermore....more

Basically, it's sapphics with A LOT of religious trauma, who find each other again, 9 years after one of them ran away. Then they work through it all together, the only way they know how.
I feel like we got enough story, but I do still wish it was longer and a bit more developed.

You do have to read the series in order, this one happens around the same time as book two, but it's Kallen's side of the events. It doesn't feel repetitive, just gives us some little nuggets of info we've been missing.
I love how she's creating her own "coven" of sorts, with Demon, Dios, Jax and possibly Harrow? Fun times are ahead!! There's steam in almost every chapter, so it's the steamiest book yet.
I do wish it was longer though because I haven't had enough of Kallen!! She does what she wants, whenever she wants, and has zero regrets. She's my kind of girl.
I can't wait to read the next book, which is coincidentally out on Orthodox Christmas soooo it's like a Christmas present for me from JA George woop woop.
If you haven't started this series yet, you should, it's perfect for spooky season....more
I have no idea where to begin, so much happened in this book and I desperately need the next one to be out so I can continue the story.
This time arouI have no idea where to begin, so much happened in this book and I desperately need the next one to be out so I can continue the story.
This time around we follow Jax, Arcanna and Dios, as they explore their feelings for one another while trying to stop the world from ending, one day at a time.
As is almost customary in JA George's books, the first part of Ruined Kingdom is told through past chapters. There we follow a different pairing, Oisin and Harrow, and see what led to Harrow having a mask over her face.
I gotta say, Harrow was my absolute favourite character in this book, and Oisin my most hated. In my mind, she could do no wrong, even when she did, literally, do something terrible. That's my baby though, I won't let anyone criticise her.
Oisin meanwhile...every single thing he did gave me the creeps. I hated the control he he had over Harrow and I kept hoping she'd break free of it. Even more so when my second favourite character, Luz, stepped onto the scene.
Luz is a serious contender for my favourite male character in the whole Gothic Grove universe! And we all know how great the rest of them are, but Luz...something about him is scratching my brain just right.
I hope he's Harrow's mate, in fact, I NEED him to be her mate. He was the one who was there for her and who took care of her when she needed it most. I'm only sad she had to meet Oisin first, and I really felt her sorrow and longing as if it were my own.
Now for the infamous trio, they were a hoot. Yes, they did drive me a bit bananas when they couldn't agree on the mating *cough* looking at you Dios *cough*, but the love they had for one another was apparent, even without the bonds being properly in place.
Plot wise, this was chaos, complete and utter chaos, and I loved every second of it. Well, except for Oisin continuously gaining power, duh.
I also loved seeing Shadow, Drago, Ava, Ciaran, Astrea, Kallen & Demon making cameos, and joining the fight. But even with all of them combined, the battle hasn't been won yet.
I am sooo excited to see what's next for these characters, especially the ones the epilogue decided to shine a light on. I'm wondering if their story will be next, or if Harrow and Luz's will get a continuation, or even if we'll see more of Rhea and Reaver. I'll be happy with whatever we get, I hope this series never ends.

No. That's okay though, and I do have a favourite (it's Shep, duh).
The narrators made this experience more enjoyable for me, but not even they could save the somewhat disappointing ending. It felt like partial closure, but also not really, because justice wasn't served. This would be the perfect time to announce a sequel!! I'm just saying.
As far as rockstar romances go, this was pretty good. Like, I don't really have any complaints, and I probably liked it more than some other rockstar romances I've read, so yeah.
I'd be open to reading something else by Grace McGinty in the future.

I was hoping I'd get to finish this yesterday, as one of my last June books, but it's okay, sapphic books are fun year round, not just during pride month.
Anyway, the audiobook was lovely, the narrators both did such a great job and I had lots of fun listening to it.
As someone who reads a lot of historical fiction, sometimes I mind the inaccuracies, but not here. This was more of a "go with the flow" type of read, where all the characters were pretty chill about the time travelling once the initial shock wore off.
The romance was really cute with lots of pining and some moments that made me tear up. I was a bit surprised though, at how many potential male love interests there were, considering this was a sapphic read. All the guys were pretty cool and I'd like to follow them in their own stories (maybe, possibly), but still, I think some time was wasted on them when it could've been used to further the girls' relationship.
And overall there was something I can't pinpoint that stops this from being a five star read, but I really did enjoy it and would read more by this author in the future. Preferably more time travel, but I'm not that picky....more

I don't think I was expecting it to be so graphic, I literally started it in the kitchen preparing food and went oh no this is not a book you can listen to around other people abort abort!! Like, you are instantly hit with the bodily fluids and that continues throughout, which makes sense because the main character is a sex worker, but still.
The timeline jumps around a lot which, along with the writing style, reminds me of Tommy Orange and I do like that. I can't say I was attached to the characters in this one though.
There were parts I really liked, like his stories of growing up on the rez, and parts I didn't particularly enjoy, like his sexual encounters. I feel like we got so many more details about those compared to things I actually wanted to know more about.
The author narrates his own book, which I normally like, but this time something just felt a bit off, I think I wanted a bit more emotion in his delivery, it was very flat.
I'm wondering if parts of this book were inspired by his own life, because quite a few seemed like they could be. At the same time, I'm hoping Whitehead didn't have to go through things his character did because...yeah.
As a whole this book is kind of depressing, and it reminded me of The Narrows of Fear for that reason. Both of these books have a bit of a heavy atmosphere going on, and talk about difficult subjects so if you enjoyed one there's a chance you'll like the other too....more

West Hollywood Monster Squad was such a delightful read, I loved the art style, the humour, the cute pink monsters wreaking havoc, and the group of friends (old and new) working together to survive the night.
At first, Marvin was a bit hard to like because he whined a lot, but he managed to deal with his issues over the course of the novel and became likable somewhere around the halfway point. The rest of them I liked from the start.
I'd recommend this to teen and adult readers alike, I promise you'll have so much fun with this group of monster hunters....more
Mind you, all but the first two I rated 4 stars, so there's only very slight differences between them that affect my ranking, mainly how much fun I had while reading & how well I connected to the characters.
Anyway, the Little Mermaid references were the best part of Hexed. McIntire's clever use of them reminded me of Hooked, which seemed to be the most like the original story so far. I really appreciated them, even though I'm not a huge fan of the cartoon myself.
I also liked the romance, and the narration, the story was so-so, not my favourite in the series, clearly. But the effort the author put into it is apparent.
I'm glad that I not only picked this series up, but also finished it (I have over 100 unfinished series...I'm working on it), two of the books became ultimate faves, the other four were still great reads, and I'm excited to dive into whatever Emily McIntire puts out next....more

Lucy Undying was a read I thought I'd need a bit longer to get through, because the pacing seemed so slow, but I literally read 70% of it in one day because I couldn't stop reading, so how slow was it really? I can't say. What I can say though, is that this story gripped me, and kept me hanging on every single word.
I feel like most people probably found Lucy's chapters more interesting, but for me, Iris was the character I kept wanting to go back to every time I was reading about Lucy, or the secret third PoV.
That's not to say I disliked Lucy, I still found her history entertaining, and I liked the romance between her and Iris. I could feel the longing through the pages, and kept wishing for them to finally be happy.
My favourite thing about this book, is the never-ending number of twists. We get the majority of them in the second half, which is, no surprise, the half I enjoyed reading the most.
I saw only a few coming, but when Iris started putting things together in her head (and with all those pages), I was in shock. And then I kept getting surprised all the way until the end.
The gothic atmosphere was on point, I enjoyed the writing style as well. This is actually my very first book by Kiersten White, even though I've had her books on my tbr for years. Now I know I'll probably like the others too.
The plot is very well crafted (if a bit unbelievable at times), but I do think it's stretched out more than it should be. Especially in the first half where we didn't get as much action as the second.
Aside from that, I don't really have any other negatives. It was such a fun read, and I'd love to have a sequel of some sort, because there's definitely more story to tell.

As soon as this became available on Libby, I rushed to listen to it, because it sounded so good (and I also loved Every Time You Hear That Song), but As soon as this became available on Libby, I rushed to listen to it, because it sounded so good (and I also loved Every Time You Hear That Song), but I ended the book wanting a bit more development from the characters and their relationships.
I also can't say that I liked either Riley or Julia, but Riley was the better/more developed character so I related to her more than I did to Julia.
They had very few romantic scenes together, which made it hard for me to root for them. And then when they finally kissed, things still didn't go their way, and that was near the end of the book, so there wasn't much room for them to make up and for us to see them thriving.
The ending was a bit abrupt, the book could've used about 30 more pages to wrap everything up nicely, but I get why it ended the way it did.
Say a Little Prayer could also be somewhat triggering if you're dealing with religious trauma, so be aware of that going in. Generally though, it's a pretty lighthearted read, funny in parts (like the chapter titles), and I'd still recommend it.
KC I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU!! How dare you off some of my favourite characters??? I love everyone equally, so I'd be sad to see anyone go, but oKC I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU!! How dare you off some of my favourite characters??? I love everyone equally, so I'd be sad to see anyone go, but one of these in particular is so unfair because of "what could've been". You'll understand that when you get to it.
The whole book (really, the whole series), I was waiting for this person to join the Merry Men, and while their ending was kinda perfect (I highlighted the whole thing, duh), I'm still sad. So so sad.
And the other deaths...I understand, but I don't like it. Okay? Okay.
Now, the most surprising thing here is Maid Marian's redemption arc, sort of, not exactly, but kinda? She's a complicated character, and I can't say I like her, but maybe I don't hate her anymore. She did do something right.
Queen of Sherwood had a bit less action than the first two books, but it was no less entertaining. As a whole, I feel like it was more focused on character growth, especially with the new recruits. But don't worry, Sheriff George also got what was coming to him.
There were twists I didn't see coming, all the way up to the end. And what an ending it was! I wouldn't mind 10 more books in this series, there's plenty of material! I'm just saying.
I'm also happy to report that, finally, after three books, I don't see Friar Tuck as a badger anymore. He's a human now, hurray!! Although he's still last in my ranking, which apparently hasn't changed much since book one...sorry Tuck, I love you.
Alan and Little John are both fighting for second place, and *I think* Little John might be winning, which leaves Alan third. He's so fun though, and that speech he gave to the two girls...MY HEART.
As for Little John, I didn't forget what happened, but it was still hard relieving it with him as he shared his story with everyone. I'm glad he did, so he can truly heal.
Will remains my ultimate fav, I actually think he got saner this time around? Or more mature, if you will. He might become a good influence someday.
Finally, Robin, the girl, the myth, the legend. She had a little darkness crisis at the start, and it's undeniable she was forever changed by being with the Merry Men, but I will always support my girl no matter what.
She became the leader she was destined to be. I'm so proud of her for everything she's accomplished, through all the trials and schemes, she really DID THAT.
I am, of course, excited for whatever KC puts out next, I know I'll love it.

I survived chapter 29 (barely), I survived chapter 44 (somehow), but then you had to go and break my heart in chapter 47...HOW COULD YOU???? I'm just a shell of a person nobody talk to me.
Huntress of Sherwood is darker than the first installment, so heed the warnings going into this!!! Mainly those 2/3 chapters I mentioned, the third one is more attachment based, so if you like or love a certain character you won't be okay when you're reading that chapter. But don't worry, I got you, we can cry together.
I'm not done with the sad, but let's talk about something else for a sec, so this starts off with Robin & the Merry Men looking for Little John, and let me tell you, they searched high and low and even though I hated to see him suffer, I like that it wasn't easily resolved.
There are inter-group issues, Robin dealing with being the leader, some of the Merry Men thinking she's not fit for the role, especially with her taking the band in a different direction (with some new recruits), figuring out the great Robert mystery, bonding with her men and last but by no means least, discovering a very nefarious plot that I was not ready for.
I'm not at all surprised that something like that was afoot, but reading about it...anyway, it's a very busy book! There's so much plot to go around, and some extremely tense moments that, I'm pretty sure, gave me even more white hairs. That last third was just PURE STRESS. I survived though, unlike SOMEBODY. Cue sobbing.
PLEASE I MISS THAT CHARACTER ALREADY IT'S NOT FAIRRRRRRR. AAAAH.
While I try to pick myself up from the floor, can we focus on Alan's nickname for Will? Little badger is a) adorable and b) I mentioned I saw Friar Tuck as a badger because of the cartoon, this is a good way to distract me from that. Now I see two badgers!!! Kidding kidding, Tuck is now morphed into a human-ish creature, there's hope yet.
I liked that Alan & Will bonded also, maybe it's "just physical" for now, but I trust they'll love each other by the end of the series. Mhm.
Little John...tears 2.0. I'm so glad he's back, but what he endured will forever stick with me. Safe to say I do NOT like the Sheriff of Nottingham whatsoever, really I hate him. I need him to suffer in the next book so bad.
Marian...YOU ARE NOT A GIRLS GIRL, I HATE YOU TOO!!! Fingers crossed I can say good riddance next time.
And poor Robin, with the weight of the world on her shoulders, but she still somehow manages to save the day. That's my girl. A GIRLS girl. Take that Marian, hmph. I kinda wanna see some Merry Women action, now that there's more of them in the group. I loooooved how the girls got their justice at the end.
If you thought I was gonna end this without mentioning Guy of Gisborne you were wrong. Because...okay, he did do wrong in this one, I'll admit. And yet...he's still hot. I'm sorry. And he's not all bad either, you'll see, you'll join me on the dark side. He's my problematic fave.
Ok ok now the actual ending of this review, written with ink made from my tears ahem ahem, I am so excited for book three, less excited to part with these characters I've grown to love so much. But I really need to know what's going to happen next. Hopefully my heart won't get stomped on again.
