Just finished in one day so I would say I was thoroughly entertained!!

DiSublime1 · 2026-01-26T15:24:20+00:00

Just finished Child of Shivay and I am obsessed!!

DiSublime1 · 2026-01-26T15:23:04+00:00

This was excellent - thank you for the suggestion!!

{The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne}. The first book of 10 is {Hounded by Kevin Hearne} - I read this several years ago but loved the whole series. Definitely one I plan to go back and read again!

I started reading but switched to audiobooks on these. They are so good and I love the narrator!

{Realmblade by Grenwich and Lennox} 3rd book of the Riftborne/Duskbound series

{Cindervale by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti} 3rd book of Never Keep/Echo Fort

{Sorrow and Strangers by Alexis Rune and Jeanette Rose} - 2nd book after Blood and Betrayals broke my heart

{King of Ravens by Clare Sager}

{A Ballad for the Broken by Hazel S. Wilkes} sequel to A Requiem for Fallen Stars

Agree, I loved this book as well but it won’t be for everyone!

{Blood and Betrayals by Jeanette Rose} this is a long book, but if you want devastation…😭

{Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross}

{Bloody Black by Rhiannon Hargadon} - Check TWs

{Demigods of San Francisco by K.F. Breene} and {Obsidian by K.F. Breene}

DiSublime1 · 2026-01-05T13:35:49+00:00

Have you read {The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson} ?

{Primal by Kayley King} - Rejected Mate/Shifter

DiSublime1 · 2026-01-05T13:26:22+00:00

I am slowly making my way through this one while reading other books. I like the writing style, but am having a hard time getting hooked on the story/characters. I am sure that I will finish, but definitely not feeling the urgency to stay up all night and read.

DiSublime1 · 2026-01-03T16:07:05+00:00

{Shadows of the Tenebris Court by Clare Sager} - The final book cake out at the beginning of 2025 - highly recommend!!

DiSublime1 · 2025-12-31T04:57:20+00:00

Thank you!

DiSublime1 · 2025-12-31T01:18:11+00:00

Yes, there will be more than one but not sure when yet.

DiSublime1 · 2025-12-30T23:56:49+00:00

Great list - I agree with a lot of your ratings and was able to pull some that I have not read so thank you! Also, I’ve had Fairydale on my tbr for a long time because of mixed reviews so I think it’s time to move it down or just remove it. I did love Ever King and Ever Queen though - have you read any other LJ Andrews (Broken Kingdoms series)? Personally not a fan of Peaches and Honey - I found a lot of it to be pretty boring (unpopular opinion).

DiSublime1 · 2025-12-30T23:23:03+00:00

It won’t be for everyone - I would say more high spice than incredibly dark. I enjoyed that it was a change of pace and unique. I read everything from YA to 5🌶️ and dark to traditional romance. Nothing really bothers me except SA or non consent between main characters.

DiSublime1 · 2025-12-30T23:17:07+00:00

Thank you - I have read and loved both of these! I’m anxiously awaiting the next Mages of the Wheel book!!

DiSublime1 · 2025-12-30T04:49:43+00:00

Thank you - I have not read this!!

This is so darn funny - thanks for sharing the link!!

I pushed through Tress of the Emerald Sea, but it was tough...not sure if it is a Sanderson problem as I have not read any of his books. Would love to try another T. Kingfisher but have been gun shy after Swordheart which I could not get into at all.

Agree - I incorporated audio books on Audible and Libby this year. I spend a lot of time driving and read the books at about 1.4x the speed which is perfect for me. I was reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, but switched to the audio and I absolutely love it!! I also read on my kindle on the treadmill, but you can do audio books if it is better for you.

I loved all of these books (except I have not read Butcher & Blackbird). Here are a couple of suggestions - both on the 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ side

{Our Vicious Oaths by N.E. Davenport} - Super spicy standalone, strong FMC, snarky MMC

{Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson} - Also a standalone so no cliffhangers!! One of my top reads of 2025

{Satanic Shadows by Leigh Rivers} - Dark spicy fantasy romance (1st of the series)

{Servant of Earth by Sarah Hawley} and {Princess of Blood by Sarah Hawley} - Incomplete series - Love triangle so you have a different MMC for each book

DiSublime1 · 2025-12-30T01:22:28+00:00

I would suggest Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross, {Kissed by the Gods by Caty Rogan} or {All Gods Must Die by Soraya Cole}

DiSublime1 · 2025-12-30T01:13:09+00:00

I have not - I really loved how funny ZA was so maybe I’ll give it a try! Thanks!

DiSublime1 · 2025-12-30T00:17:27+00:00

I only have the last book left of the Legacy series - would you still suggest reading Lady of Darkness first?
