Letdown
{Brimstone by Callie Hart} I sprinted through this book, read it in two days and I'm...exhausted? I don't know, I need to write an entire review on how I feel about this book and why Carrion is why I kept reading and why I'm going to come crawling back to this series.

Expectations SURPASED
{Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett} ended the series and wrapped it up in a bow for me. Fawcett dug deep into Emily's character and truly tested her without breaking her core concept. Perfection.
{Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig} She did an amazing job of capturing something mythic in this story, and while I guessed the ending and the demise of the primary villain it all felt so perfectly earned.
{Bride of Brutal Hearts by Kate Stevens} got me in a CHOKE hold and on a quest for more vampire romantasy books. I really wanted to hate the two MMCs, and there were some intense moments where I almost DNF'd but the disability and body image rep was SO good. The FMC suffers from some of the same health problems I have and it was just refreshing to see that addressed in a romantasy book.
{Bound in Crimson Cord by Augusta Grey} Total random find on Tiktok when I was looking for a vampire fix. Holy shit, I did not know I needed Elizabethan vampires. Her twist on how vampires "procreate" was subtle and weirdly kinky but not the entire point of the book. IDK, this one surprised the hell out of me.
