3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I want to thank Netgalley and the author Quinton Li for the ark. I will be giving my honest review.

The world is described slowly and we see ourselves in a school environment a dark academia aesthetics. With queer autism representation and person of color representation, the description of the world and the characters was my absolute favourite, and we find a hierarchy spread out bye the floor your sleeping In the higher the better, the most important.
We have conflicts, murder, and thriller.

The Wallflower is full of trigger warnings

Adult speech, Adult behavior, Family dysfunction, cancer, Non Consenting acts, Rape, Degrading speech, Abuse, Family Violence, Betrayal.

The book is heavy with abuse and non-consensual behaviors, or maybe CNC. I felt rage at times.

In every chapter, you will see some kind of triggering behaviors that I mentioned above. So please proceed with caution.

A Hint "Drew" the main male character is one of the first characters I hate, that might be on purpose since I feel that the author left us on a cliffhanger but I kind of saw the plot twist coming, it least was very obvious to me.

I want to thank NetGalley, Publishers Dreamscape Media, and the author J.L. Beck for providing this audio-ARC. Which, I will be giving my honest and sincere review.

This is the most adorable thing ever. And the cover OMG I need this book fiscally.

The book starts with Naomi in school writing a pen pal, the letter has an assignment to someone, but she doesn't know who, to her surprise, a boy starts writing back Luca, but he's mean. So they start a pen pal journey. but suddenly the letters stopped, Naomi never thought she would care that Luca disappeared but his last letter came without an address and he challenged her to find him.

This is the cutest thing I have to repeat myself. It's descriptive, and a perfect Summer book, I don't know why but something about exchanging letters reminds me of summer break.

The last chapters were so nice I SOOOO recommend it to everyone, reading this review.

I want to thank NetGalley, Publishers HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, and the author Donna Marchetti for providing this e-ARC. Which, I will be giving my honest and sincere review.

We follow two princesses, connected by the dark crimes of one of their Fathers, the King of Marama.

Princess Evhen of Vodaeard saw her parents die before her and she now only thinks of revenge.

Princess Evhen kidnaps Princess Kalei to punish the king for his greedy actions. but Kalei is so clueless about the King's affairs outside of their lands, trapped in a boat on the way to Vodaeard, she starts to see the cruel truth, leaving her to process the lies she was fed all her life, and fear of a truth related to her gift, that not even she will be immune to her father cruelty.

The story was unique we have a zombie concept with Kalei having moon powers to turn the dead into living again, but they don't come out how they were. I felt it, to be quite repetitive being a duo POV, The narrator did a good job. We see an enemy to lovers (Sapphic), and you can understand the attraction and the conflict from the beginning.

I want to, thank NetGalley, the publisher "Dreamscape Media" and the author Kay Adams for providing this audiobook-ARC. I will be giving my honest and sincere review.

They thought she was crazy but she knew something was lurking out in the shadows, and wants to get her.
Imogen a quiet and lonely librarian, was attacked in a Nightclub, with fangs that never left her mind and, haunted her life ever since. Now are again the visions, or are they real?

Enemies to lovers, Fated Mates, Misunderstandings, Forced Proximity, Grumpy/Sunshine, Morally grey, Fey World, the premise with creatures that won't be anything kind.^
We have a dual POP, and, it's packed with actions, from hate to urges they both don't understand, the need for protection.

The characters and world are intriguing, easy to read, and understand the politics. Aldow I would love more character description.
Is Tarion a "Tamelin" of this story?
I'd like to continue reading the series to see where it goes next.

I would like to thank the Authors, Lorelei Johnson & Hailey Jade, NetGalley, and the Publishers for providing this e-ARC. Witch, I will be giving my honest and sincere review.

 

Please make sure you're aware of the trigger warnings this book contains, Some of the triggers include:

Animal cruelty, assault, murder, cannibalism, blood, gore, child sa, childbirth, child death, BDSM, drug use, forced abortion, human skin wearing, incest, mental health issues, pedophilia, reanimated corpse, sa, self-harm.
Lady Ramillia Winmoore is sent to an asylum, convicted of her parent's murder, where her nightmares became with mistreatments and invasive treatments. She only remembers parts of her childhood.
We see mental health representations not only in our FMC but in other patients and society in general.
Ramillia is saved by Sir Julian, whose estates she will soon be married to him.

The book's narrative is mostly filled with our FMC, thoughts, since she was put away from society for most of her living life she's adjusting to all she can absorb. The book evolved at a slow pace.
Heavily graphic and descriptive, full of violence and shocking events for a child to grow up to. Allow for a Gothic Horror I imagined it as the darkness sombre and gruesome of Frankenstein in a Tim Burton atmosphere.

I recommend this book to Gothic Horror lovers, full of twists.

I want to thank NetGalley, Publishers BHC Press, and the author Natalie Gibson for providing this e-ARC. Witch, I will be giving my honest and sincere review.

This text introduces an enthralling fantasy story filled with magic, adventure, and redemption. It follows the journey of Nivali, a young thief known as Nivvy, who faces public humiliation in the town of Plow. When offered a chance at redemption by assisting Bella, a desperate woman, Nivvy embarks on a dangerous mission to reclaim a lost kingdom. Despite his dire circumstances, Nivvy sees this as an opportunity to restore his tarnished reputation within the Thieves Guild. The narrative promises an exciting tale of risks, challenges, and the pursuit of a second chance, drawing parallels to the timeless works of fantasy legends like Tolkien and Lewis.

The world-building and descriptions of the sceneries felt like I was traveling along with Nivali.

The book was a bit of a slow pace for me, slowing my attention to the story. The story could've been portrayed in a bit smaller length.

I want to thank the Author, NetGalley, and Argyll Productions for providing this ARC. Witch, I will be giving my honest and sincere review.

Magic:✨3/5

Worldbuilding: 🏗 1/5 it’s not intense at all

For the lovers of She’s my mate, You Mine, golden retriever boy, Dark Boy, shifters etc, etc… trigger warnings ⚠️ Violence descriptive torture scenes, bad language, adult scenes & parent's death. ⚠️

She’s a 10 but she has more mates than a hand can count…

Kiarra is isolated from the world, a freedom feels like a distant memory 6 years she’s been under the punishments of the King, I felt for the main character right away. It’s impossible not to after all the pain she’s going through. She’s strong and doesn’t show weakness to do anything that threatens her. The world, it’s, fairly similar to ours but they live under a King's rule with all kinds of mystic species Shifters, Witches, Demons & Dumans.

Kiarra finds herself in a peculiar situation and it’s none other than the 5 friends she grew up with. They are mad at her but above all, she is their mate.

We have 5 completely different personalities and its going to make you giggle, kick, and gasp.

There were quotes that I loved.

“…Don’t lie to me or yourself. I felt it. I felt you. That kiss was…”

Everything. It was everything and more. No words can describe the feeling of being surrounded by him. I feel safe and warm. I feel cherished and cared for and, for just a moment, slightly less broken.”

“You taste like sunshine and destruction, wrapped into one. It’s fucking delicious.”

Honestly, I’m getting the physical choppy as soon as possible I need to mark down my favorite scenes and quotes. The cover is so beautiful.

I’m not saying much more. But if you like The Bonds That Tie Series by J.Bree you will eat this up in no time. I was sad that it was over.

The Narrators of this audiobook were absolutely 💯 amazing I loved them, Scarlett Everdeen; Chase T. Walker.

 Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to review this audiobook. Witch, I will be giving my honest and sincere review.
