Card + Energy reading review
This review is for @arcreads who I engaged for a mixed reading!
So I had some deity mumbo jumbo that I wanted to get to the bottom of in a more in-depth manner, and Arc really delivered! They were really nice about structuring my reading and my queries, and there is just something very different about their way of reading that I really like. It’s like you can feel it... I dont know how to describe it in a succinct way but if you know, you know! It left me feeling very empowered!! The way they work is really inspiring to be honest.
Check out all their services here!!
Review for ArcReads
@arcreads is a fantastic diviner!
First of all, his information pages are very concise and to the point. His rules are very reasonable, as are his prices. And he offers free readings as well as paid ones for a good price. In fact, with his skill, I’m surprised he doesn’t charge more. He will also work with you on questions and what you need exactly.
Second, his readings. They are delivered via e-mail in a PDF, which is very nice to have on hand to refer to over and over. He does them in a timely manner, and doesn’t ask for payment until after he has delivered. They are also accurate and very insightful, never leaving you feel like it was a waste of money.
And last, he makes sure you understand the reading, keeping the dialogue open and offering to draw any clarifying cards if needed. And of course, Arc is very kind and understanding, and happy to help what he can.
I highly, highly recommend his services if you need any cartomancy or energy readings. I have paid for two of his readings so far, and they were worth every penny. They really helped me with insight into the questions I was asking. I would go to him again, and recommend him to anyone looking for a trusted and skilled diviner.

HUGE Shoutout
I got a free VISAGE reading from @arcreads, and while I’m still chewing on the content, I definitely recommend Arc as a reader. I got an energy reading with deity messages, and then the Glyphs deck kinda hit me upside the head with a ‘you’re looking in the wrong place, remember your roots’ message as well.
Worth the time and money, and definitely delivered quicker than promised.
(Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some work of my own to do, with the messages I was given.)
I just got a paid energy reading from @arcreads. Wow! What a surprise! Not only was it relevant to several things in my life, but it gave a great “jumping-off” point for me to go forward with. I got the reading in a neat PDF via email, and Arc messaged me to ensure delivery and satisfaction. So great customer service there. The reading itself was direct and to the point, which I found very helpful. Yet, it had its subtleties and was not without parts that spoke to me personally and my spiritual journey.
Not only would I use Arc’s service again, but I would highly recommend anyone seeking divination to go to them. And, they have free readings as well!
A Shop Girl's Guide to Wooing a Lord (The Heiress Hunters #1) by Shana Galen
5 Stars!!
Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for a complimentary copy of this book for review. Thoughts and opinions are my own.
What a fun start to this series!
I'm definitely curious about who's going to win the summer house and how that's all going to play out. Something tells me things aren't going to go quite the way the brothers all seem to think!
Tamsin was pretty great. While it was a horrid situation, I loved her drive to find her siblings. I did wish she didn't try so hard to the detriment of herself so often, but I get why she did. I wished she'd been able to stand up to the Brown's, but I liked her mother being able to step in. I laughed when she managed to get Big John to let them stay, although I don't really think she had to twist his arm as much as he pretended (although her mother was a little harder to convince). As she spent time with Garrett, I liked her realizing all the ways she loved him and his family and how she kind of opened his eyes to things.
Garrett was actually pretty funny. He went from "must marry an heiress" to "that thief's a girl!" to "I love her so much" and it was glorious. He was smitten from the Belgrave Ball. Part of me wishes it had been since the violet incident, but at the same time, having his feelings for Tamsin be real from the Ball makes it better. He did have some eye roll moments where he attempted to be a martyr but I loved his family telling him to knock it off. I loved the relationship he has with his whole family, especially his brothers. While he didn't want to, I liked that they came up with the idea to marry an heiress instead of letting Mariah's choice be taken; although why their father didn't come up with that idea in the first place, I don't know.
I ended up really liking Lady Callista. When Garrett first tried to apologize, I will admit to feeling like she was a little bit spoiled, maybe a little bit of a twit. But after her conversation in the garden with Garrett, she's definitely more than she appears! I liked the conversation the two of them had and how Garrett realized he'd like to be friends with her. I feel like she's going to be one of the FMCs but I can't decide if she'll give Liam, Killian, or Daire a better run for their money!
Loved this intro to this series and can't wait to see the rest of the Kildare's fall in love!
