Romcom vibes with baked goods & banter! 📚
Hazel, the shy bookseller, finds secret codes in her shop’s books & teams up with Noah, the fisherman-next-door who’s been crushing on her. Opposites attract, sparks fly, & it’s as sweet as a cinnamon bun.

Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Talents isn’t just dystopian fiction—it’s a warning. Religious extremism, political violence, and survival through faith + community. Written decades ago, yet it feels terrifyingly current.

Book 2 of Madison Kate hits harder on reread—the stalker letters, betrayals, and secrets all cut deeper. The tension ramps up, the drama sharpens, and MK is officially done being played. This is where Shadow Grove catches fire.

This book wrecked me. Yes, it’s small-town charm, grilled cheese bets, and a hot younger carpenter—but Alexis’s family dynamics cut deep. Even as a successful ER doctor, she’s seen as a disappointment for not being perfect. A romance that hurts in the best way.

Queen Takes Rose promised a grand finale but delivered a flicker. Aurora & Malone’s romance is dark and indulgent, but as the close of Wicked Villains it left threads dangling and big reveals muted. Great standalone, flat ending.

Heavy and heartbreaking, this sequel leaned into silence more than love. Miscommunication, hidden pain, and unspoken grief kept the couple circling instead of healing. A dark novella that left me frustrated rather than fulfilled.

The Dracula Duet gave me witches, vampires, fated mates, and reincarnation with gothic academia vibes. But plot holes, repetitive spice, and heavy triggers (graphic pregnancy loss) kept it from soaring. Buffy meets Dracula—but clunkier.
