Two Twisted Crowns

A 5 star read | Started the book, went into a reading slump (not bc of the book) and came back a month later because a friend finished the first book and I got inspired to read the book

Let's just say that was the hardest I've ever cried while reading a book because I got attached to that one specific character to the point that I couldn't scroll on my phone because the screen was full of tears

Also one thing that Rachel Gillig excels at is seamless transitions because in so many books I could tell you the exact moment where the story picks up and it all feels like "and then, and then, and then" but not here. It all blends in perfectly

10/10 would recommend, my heart is shredded

⭐⭐⭐

Mr. October

A 3 star read for me | It was fine. It wasn't a masterpiece of a novella and the characters came off very childish but it was a cute october spooky season fall novella. 

⭐⭐⭐

Wicca Creed - Zeichen und Omen

3 sterne | 500 seiten und 80% davon waren einfach nur sau langweilig. Das ende war okay aber es war das warten absolut nicht wert.

Wenn mich jemand fragt warum ich keine deutschen bücher leser, dann zeig ich ihnen das buch. Zeitverschwendung. Drei sterne nur wegen dem Ende und das ist SEHR großzügig

The Kiss Curse

A 4 star read for me | Vivi, Rhys, Gwyn and Wells are great but Percival has my whole entire heart! Treats! And he calls Gwyn Mama 🥺

I loved Gwyn and her baby Witches, together they were adorable

The book was funny, it made me giggle a bunch of time

I wasn't the biggest fan of the pacing in this book. It wasn't the greatest, kinda different from the first book. 

Also, I listened to this on audio and was disappointed that there is a different narrator. I really liked the narrator of the first book but eith this one I didn't like the male voices, it gave me slight cringies

The Ex Hex

A 5 Star read for me | This book was PERFECTION

Erin, girly, come here and let me give you a kiss. 

FINALLY, after what feels like forever I found a good wotch book. I love witches, I want to read all about witches but no book hit like this. NO. BOOK. It's such a cute and funny and cozy read for spooky season! 

The little breakup at the end was unnecessary but I can look over that. I devoured that book! The writing was great, the plot made sense, the romance was amazing, the characters have my heart

Love love LOVED IT

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

also, I love you

A 3 star read for me | First of all, the chapters were way too long. I lost motivation a bunch of times because the chapters seemed never-ending. 8 chapters in 200 pages? Eh

I also didn't like the romance. I'm aware that it's the main thing in the book but if it eould have focused on the discrimination of fae in the human world and scrapped the romance, it would have been amazing. But the romance aspect was bad and the fae-human plot half-assed.

Much of the dialogue was cringe.

Raven was lowkey a shit friend and sometimes she felt like a fifty-five year old, faux-wise sorcerer and the next like a 12 year old child, it felt very inconsistent

the timeline was confusing

Three stars because I see the potential and I really liked the modern fae combination but it mostly bored me, sadly

⭐⭐⭐

if he had been with me

A 3 Star read for me | I say

He says

She says

Someone should count every mention of "say" in this book, I bet it's a huge amount.

I had to check the publishing date because that book feels really early 2010s to me. It was published 2013 so I guess it's fine, but the 2010s vibes are there. Strongly. It kind of feels like something you would find on wattpad

I do like that it's an easy read, or listen if you're on audiobook, and the chapters are really short which I LOVE. 

I didn't really feel the tragic ending tho. It told me that it was sad but I didn't feel it. 

⭐⭐⭐

Dracula

A 3 Star read for me | This book opened my eyes and it helped me find myself because if I'm taking one thing from this, then that I am not a classics girly. This will be my first and last classic. Nonetheless, Mina and Van Helsing carried this book and they slayed!

⭐⭐⭐

A 3 Star read for me | ⭐⭐⭐

The Guy for Me

A 2 star read for me | I'm not a fan of spice but no spice ever gave me that many cringies, ever, like this one

The writing felt like I opened a 12 year old's first wattpad story, although I vould have enjoyed the 12 year old's story more because I would have known what to expect

Liam is such an inconsistent character, it's laughable. He's lowkey a creep, too.

The best thing about this book is that it ended

This book threw me back into my reading slump in the worst way possible

⭐⭐

evidence of the affair

A 4 star read for me | Not a fan of the cheating trope but knowing what I get into, I really enjoyed this book. The correspondence between David and Carrie

And that ending wss bittersweet

⭐⭐⭐⭐
