I can’t decide if I see Willard as aroace or if he has the capability for that stuff and really just doesn’t care

But I just cannot see him in any sexual or romantic relationship

I kinda lean towards aroace but he doesn’t know and probably won’t figure out until he’s like 30 because he’s just so focused on everything else that he just never even thought about sex or romance

Weekly Reading Update (04/22/24)

Reviews and thoughts under the cut

To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang (5/10)

This book was a huge disappointment for me. It's flaws are many, despite the interesting concept, and it ultimately lays in how underdeveloped this book is. It could have used so much editing when it comes to the writing, which is repetitive and trying far too hard to be flowery. The main character and the love interest had a lot of potential in the set-up, but the main character is just sort of bland and blank with an easily manipulated moral code and the love interest is...a manipulative asshole but it's okay because he likes her? The worldbuilding grabbed my interest, but it's inserted in such awkward ways and not explored nearly as much as I'd like. If you'd like to see more in-depth thoughts about this book, check out my full review here.

Wolf Gone Wild by Juliette Cross (4/10)

Half this book is marketing for other franchises. Get this woman a sponsorship with Marvel and Star Wars stat. There are only so many times you can reference pop culture and have the main character gush about her favorite ship (Reylo) or superhero (Wolverine) before I start to feel completely detached from the story since more time is devoted to pitching other media than plot or character development. This story is far too drawn out and obviously has just the barest semblance of plot just to keep the main characters from happiness for a bit longer, which leads to a contrived and boring twist. There are a lot of scenes devoted to obviously setting up all the other couples in this series, and there's just really nothing original about the story. At least the leads had some chemistry.

The Summer Queen by Rochelle Hassan (9/10)

This is the sequel to The Buried and the Bound, and I definitely enjoyed myself. As usual, the dynamics between the main three are really good, platonically and romantically, and I think getting each of their perspectives really contributes to that. I loved how much direct faerie interaction there was in this book, and we got to learn a lot more about how magic works, especially Aziza's. I thought the Hunt would be a much larger part of the book than it was---it felt a little rushed---but other than that this was a strong novel! It also has more of a direct line into what will eventually be the third book, giving it more of an overarching plot.

Island of Graves by Lisa McMann (CR, 18%)

I haven't touched this in a week :D

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice (CR, 10%)

I'm trying with this one, I really am, but I'm not sure if it's the writing or that I'm still not sure what the actual plot of this is, but so far this book is astronomically boring. I probably would have DNF'd it by now if it weren't for a book club.

The Sunshine Court by Nora Sakavic (CR, 1%)

I've just barely opened this one, but I'm really excited. My relationship with All for the Game is a complicated one because I both love it and think it is horrendously written, but one thing I love about it is the characters, so I'm ready to see them again! I can't wait to learn about Jean and get his story.

I started Wolf Gone Wild by Juliette Cross a few days ago and finished it this morning. I was immediately bewitched by the cuteness this paranormal romance book constantly exudes. The fact that it's a series with a standalone for each of the Savoie sisters is even more of an appeal. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. 🧚🏻‍♀️

Just finished book 6 of the Stay a Spell series by Juliette Cross, oh my gosh these books were amazing, I enjoyed every second of reading them, they're light fluffy and happy but have their own lil high stakes situations, that feel like they continue a story like The Originals.

Admitting to being a Disney adult on a public platform... the bravery.

B: But it's like one of those multi-industry companies that needs to do charity campaigns to distract from the big corporate wheeling and dealing that they do. KRISTEN: *fake coughs* Disney. LAETY: Great. Yeah, pretty much. B: *laughs* you said it, not me! KRISTEN: Well I can hate on Disney because I'm a Disney adult!

Book Blurb: Not even Death can take her from him. Clara Savoie is so confused. She is absolutely positive that Henry Blackwater is practically in love with her. But for some strange reason, he won’t even ask her on a single date. Time to take matters into her own hands. When Clara shows up on his doorstep with an unusual invitation, tempting cupcakes, and naughty innuendo, Henry has no choice but to say yes. Now he’s the newest member of the High Tea Romance Book Club. While Clara learns the haunting secrets of her broody grim, Henry shows her what commitment from a necromancer truly means. But when his father is arrested for murder, Henry is dragged back into the nightmare he’s been avoiding all his life. When he steps back into his father’s world, he isn’t just endangering himself but also the bright, beautiful woman he can no longer live without. But he just might have to.

Review:

Clara Savoie is a witch with the ability to read everyone’s emotions... everyone except the one person who she’s completely in love with, the mysterious Grim, Henry Blackwater. Henry and Clara have been dancing around their feelings for each other, Clara has been practically spelling out how she feels about him but he just can’t seem to get the hint and so she comes up with a plan when she discovers he is her number one fan of her book blog... she’ll get him to join her romance book club! Henry is a grim who has been cut off from his magic ever since a traumatic incident when he was young. He can’t stand to be around people or touched except for his select few family members... and a certain blonde witch who has completely captivated him, Clara. Henry was Clara’s from the moment he laid eyes on her, and he’s been in love with her but he doesn’t think she could ever want him or think that he could ever be good enough for her. Yet when she shows up at his doorstep with hand made cupcakes and looking especially delicious herself, he knows he can’t deny her anything and now he finds himself in her romance book club. Clara wants to know everything about Henry and after so long she wants it all. Henry is about to show Clara that being in a relationship with a grim is more than just simply dating, no. she’s the one for him. While they work out their relationship (at last) other issues begin occurring as Henry’s father is arrested for murder and Henry is forced back into the nightmare that he’s been avoiding his entire life and dealing with the darker monster inside of him. Henry will have to embrace his past in order to face the monsters that threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. But with Clara next to him, everything will work out perfectly. This is the last Savoie sister’s book and while I’m so sad to see this fantastic series end, I had an absolute blast getting to meet every single couple. Henry and Clara were so much fun, especially because of how much they clearly love each other and have just been dancing around their feelings. Clara is so blunt and honest with her wants that it was just so refreshing and cute! Henry was a perfect match for Clara and he is such a nurturer. Honestly, I had a blast with this one and can’t wait to see what Juliette Cross writes next!!!
