Devil's Lair
By Anna Zaires
***
This was my first mafia romance and it was not bad at all. It's a pacey lil book with lots of action throughout. The romance in particular was very fast paced, and I think just really showed me I prefer a bit more of a slow burn.
Fighting Destiny
By Amelia Hutchins
***
As I enjoyed the Legacy of the Nine Realms from this author, I thought I'd give her earlier series a whirl. We follow Syn, a witch contracted to investigate on behalf of her natural enemies the fae. Her employer, Ryder, is possessive and powerful, typical of Hutchins writing. The plot and the writing was pretty chaotic but I'm kind of used to that from Hutchins and if you just embrace it then this is a good lil read.
Throne of Glass
By Sara J. Maas
***
Okay, I know I'm super late to the party on this one but I am finally getting round to reading TOG. And, er, hmm. I'm not gonna say I was disappointed, but I definitely didn't enjoy it as much as acotar. But I'm interested to see what the rest of the series holds.
The Plated Prisoner Series
By Raven Kennedy
*****
Usual story, I read these in a complete blur and so am just posting them all together. This was amazing!! It's an addictive read with a slow burn romance, and the best character development I've read in forever. All 4 books were 5 stars for me- read this!!
Close Liasons

Turns out an alien invasion romance is not my cup of tea, onto the next!
Oh, Holy Knight
By Amelia Hutchins
**
Couldn't tell you what this is really about because I have no idea. As expected of Hutchins, everything from the writing to the world building was chaotic as heck. But I still love it!
Red Rising
By Pierce Brown
*****
Genuinely cannot remember the last time I read a dystopian sci-fi as good as this. It delivered in every single punch of the plot and the characters were cleverly written. Darrow, a lowly Red, infiltrates the dominant Gold caste becoming everything he despises in the process. I absolutely loved Darrow and the way his relationship with Eo underpinned the entire story. Brilliant!
Claimed by Fate
By Shannon Mayer
**
Ugh, so annoying when you invest in a series that doesn't quite deliver! Like I said from book 1, the romance in this just doesn't quite hit it for me. Onto the next!
The Haunting Season
***
This is a collection of 8 short stories that I picked up because one of the authors is Laura Purcell. Surprisingly, her story, although good, was not my favourite! I really enjoyed Bridget Collins story, which I think was the first one. A nice wee collection, perf for this time of year!

Hunted by Fate
By Shannon Mayer
***
This is book 2 in the Alpha Territories series, so I won't say too much about the plot to avoid spoilers. I said before that the romance in this was a bit meh, and it felt even more so in this book! I just didn't buy it at all. However there were some good twists in this one and I am interested to see how it all wraps up in book 3.
Taken by Fate
By Shannon Mayer
Enslaved by monsters, humanity offers sacrifices in an attempt to keep the peace. Allowing herself to be sacrificed in an attempt to save her brother, Sienna is whisked away to the vampire realm and forced to compete for her survival. I thought this was going to be a lot darker than it was, and the romance was a bit meh so only 3 stars. But it was a nice, easy going lil read.
A Curse of Blood and Wolves
By Melissa McTernan
***
This was my first wolf fantasy romance, and I think I'm here for them. Ruby is single handedly caring for her younger sister, working long hours to support them both, when she feels a set of eyes watching her as she walks home alone. I really liked the way McTernan played with the idea of a lone wolf and can't wait to find out what happens next. Unfortunately, the next book isn't out until next year, so if you like your series completed you may have to wait for this one!

The Rats
By James Herbert
***
This is a gory little horror in which London is terrorised by huge, murderous rats. We follow Harris, a teacher who finds himself fighting the monsters and working closely with the government to eradicate the rats. I enjoyed this pacey lil horror, although I do think it feels dated now.
Queen of Chaos
By Amelia Hutchins
****
As this is book five in the Legacy of the Nine Realms series, I won't say too much to avoid spoilers for you all. This series continues to be absolutely wild, and I just completely embrace the chaos of the writing, the plot and the characters; I love it all!
Boy in Luv
By Jay Crownover and Rebecca Yarros
*
This is the sequeal to Girl in Luv, and I didn't really enjoy it. It felt a bit unnecessary even though book 1 finished on a cliffhanger. I really, really didn't like Iker through this which made it hard to stay invested in the romance.
