This One Was So Good! I’ve Seen In Around On Booktok And Here On Insta And I Just Hadn’t Gotten Around

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?😅

Not book related, but recently started watching 9-1-1 as I’d seen some post about it and gotten it recommended to me and I’ve seen a lot of Buddie (?) shipping content and I never knew who was who, but for some reason I’d misunderstood who was Christophers dad so when I started the show I was so confused cause I’m like, where’s the kid? And also, I thought Eddie was his dad, but this guy is Buck?

Just a funny misunderstanding for me, but also probably goes to show why so many people ship these guys when I saw things from the show with no knowledge about it and no context thought Buck was Christophers dad😅

I also now also ship these men and I will cry if they never end up together. It’s just such a missed opportunity for a best friends to lovers trope!

I’m currently on season 3 so have a lot to catch up on, and I’ve gathered that as of the most recent season they are not a thing (yet, we’ll hope), but I will keep my hope alive and in the mean time once I’m caught up there will always be fanfiction

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

Having a hard time getting into new book after fourth wing and acotar.

I’m currently reading the bridge kingdom and so far it’s good (I’m about halfway through), but I keep getting distracted. Not feeling like I have to know what happens next.

Tried started four different book before landing on this one. Hopefully this feeling will go away soon. It happens after books I’ve been particularly invested in.

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😅

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?

Is it just me? (Onyx Storm - no spoilers)

I’m seeing so many Onyx Storm reviews the past few days where people talk about how confusing and scatterbrained the writing was and I didn’t feel like it was at all? Like there were parts that I was a bit confused because we’re supposed to be along with Violet, but it wasn’t to the point where I felt like I understood nothing and nothing made sense.

Then I was thinking, maybe it’s because I’m adhd and it’s just written and paced in a way that works for my neurospicy brain😅

I know Rebecca Yarros is adhd too, so maybe it’s something to that? But also, this was the third book in a five book series. If we got all the answers in this one that would just not make sense?

Everyone’s different, and every experience is valid, I’ve just been seeing a lot of this late and couldn’t relate at all😅

The kiddo’s have been hit hard with a stomach bug, and with me having emetophobia it’s been a rough week. Luckily I have a husband who handles it all really well and I do what I can with taking care of other things in the house and stuff.

Been doing a bit of rereads for comfort which is nice, a good distraction.

And I’ve also been listening to fantasy fangirls pod to keep myself distracted, trying not to panic over who’s going to get sick next and when.

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?

Luther Corbois. This man. Oof, my heart. The things this man says. I am swooning!

(Currently reading the kindred’s curse saga in preparation for the FFG deep dive and I’m loving it. I’m 60% through Glow of the Everflame)
