The Graham Effect By Elle Kennedy

Ridoc is precious and must be protected at all costs!🥺❤️

Anyone else feel so hard for Ridoc when he felt the need to mention twice that just because he's the "funny friend" it doesn't make him any less capable for standing for the squad and also doesn't make him any less smart?

It actually absolutely broke me both the times he mentioned it

I forgot how much there was I got frustrated by in Iron Flame, like Varrish who fills me with rage in every scene he is in and Jack fucking Barlow.

I also do get fed up with both Violet and Xaden with their communication issues, but I try to remind myself of how young they are and that helps. Although Violet is the one who annoys me the most with all the hypocrisy and the full disclosure bullshit.

I think it bothers me the most because she has grown up in a military environment so she should know that some things aren’t for everyone to know. She is fine with Mira telling her “you can’t know that, it’s classified”, but it’s not fine when it’s Xaden, like because she’s in love with him she should get to know things that aren’t his to tell?

He also has a bunch of things that he could have told her, but he has his whole you have to ask thing going on which is also annoying.

It’s kinda hard for them to know how to be in a relationship with healthy communication though cause they don’t exactly have a lot of great examples around them😅

Still love this book though and I’m beyond excited for the release of Onyx Storm next week!

Book Rec - The Renegades Series by Cara Dee

The renegade series by Cara Dee

I just read through the whole series in like three days. I couldn’t put them down. Cara has a way of making me care deeply about her characters. They’re become so real to me.

If you love a good steamy M/M romance with a good dose of action on the side, this series is for you.

All the feels. All the excitement. All the love.

I’m obsesses with her BDSM series which was how I was introduced to her writing and I’m now branching out to her other books. I want to read them all. Everything I’ve read from her so far has been great.

Have you read this series yet?

Have you read other books from Cara Dee? If you have which is your favorite?

Seen a bunch of this recently where people complain about the amount of romance in the empyrean series (fourth wing) and I’m like… it’s a romance fantasy?

Like it’s marketed as romantasy is it not? Idk. I just always got the impression that it’s a romance book in a fantasy setting even before I read it, so I was going in expecting all the romance🤷🏻‍♀️

Home before dark by Riley Sager

So I just finished this and it was so good! It was my first thriller. I’ve been wanting to branch out and try new genres and I’m glad I liked it.

I thought I knew where things were heading so many times only to be thrown for a loop.

The ending was enough of a surprise that it was enjoyable even though I guessed some of it before the end. I like that though, it was done in a way where it was satisfying to see the crumbs about the truth throughout. I’m of the opinion that a plot twist is more satisfying when there is clear foreshadowing especially when you look back and it can still come as a shock when you get to it.

Have any of you read it? Thoughts?

Also, what are some good thriller or mystery books I should check out next?

Just finished Quicksilver by Callie Hart and my god it was good! Why do I keep finding these great unfinished series so I have to wait for more?😅

The Villains Beast by Kate Hawthorne

Had a great time with this one. The spice was spicing, the angst was angsting. This is a bit of a dark read, definitely check the trigger/content warnings before you read, but I really enjoyed it and I didn’t want it to end. I wanted more time with alle the characters. I loved how their relationships developed and the different dynamics they all have with each other.

Have you read this one yet?

What is your fave mm dark romance?

Can we talk about Feyre walking around, for weeks, thinking she was alone and there were fairies all over the place and no one told her?😂

Me finishing the acotar series (the books that have come out anyway) and going to check out what theories people have and maybe have some fun discussions only to be horrified by some of the things people are saying on there. People literally getting death threats for having a different opinion like shipping someone with someone else than they do😬

(I know there are sane people in this fandom too, but I’m a little scared)

I thought Rhun was the love interest. I was very confused

So I just started reading Crescent City after seeing it being recommended here and there. I knew basically nothing about it though other than getting the sound bite Ruhn Danaan crown prince of the Valbaran Fae on tik tok a lot. Tik tok made it seem like he would be the love interest and I got so confused when he was just introduced as Bryce’s half brother😂

I was like either this is a fake brother situation or this is a whole different book than I thought😅
