I LOVED this one. I liked it more than I like Haunting or Hunting. I think phantom is the best book I’ve read by HD Carlton yet.

Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genuinely a fantastic book. I couldn’t put it down. There’s something major happening on every page turn and it’s sunrise is one of her best. I liked it more than A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

Desperation by @stephenking.bsky.social
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book is very long and very worth it. When I tell you, reading his books is like watching a movie in your head because it’s all so cohesive, I mean it. You can’t go wrong with Stephen King. Highly recommend.

Overall rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the second in the series and I love that it was so different from the first book. It was new and fresh and I like when a writer can come up with a brand new way to tell a known story.

The invisible life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab
Tropes: Doomed Romance
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book is SOOOOOO wordy. Something that could have been said in great detail that would be interesting and move the plot along went above and beyond to the point of not making sense anymore. Good book tho

Verity by Colleen Hoover
Tropes: forbidden love, intelligent psychopath
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice rating: 🌶️
This book is one of the best books I read I 2024. I don’t say that lightly either because I’m not a huge Colleen Hoover fan, however the twists and turns this book takes you through is it.

Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is not a spicy book. It’s historical fiction and such an amazing retelling of Fleetwood Mac. The writer has something special. I cannot recommend this book enough.

King of Pride Ana Huang
Tropes: Billionaire, forbidden love, friends to lovers
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am not a huge fan of Ana Huang but this is once of her better books. Don’t read this for the spice though because there’s hardly any there.

King of Wrath by Ana Huang
Book 1 of 7
Tropes: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, arranged marriage
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I hate books with a third act break up. If the two were just mature adults and talked things out there wouldn’t have been any conflict to begin with.

Hunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton
Tropes: kidnapping
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️
Thoughts: it’s a tragic revenge story. If you’re reading this one for the smut, don’t unless you check your triggers first. If you don’t, you could be in way over your head and you won’t like it.
