Book Haul: February 'The Works' Haul

-

Okay, I started off with a LOT of book reviews there! Buuuuut, I now have something a bit more fun to show you all. In February I went to the works and picked myself up a little book haul so I thought I would introduce the books to you. 

So without further ado! 

The first book I picked up was Hexed by Emily McIntire. Hexed is the 6th book in the Never After Series which are all retellings of popular fairytales. From what I can tell, Hexed is based on the Little Mermaid but as a dark romance style of writing. I also have Hooked and Crossed. This is definitely a series I am excited to get into. 

The second book is a biggie! I can't believe it's taken me this long to pick it up as I was originally interested when it first came out. However, I finally picked up Fourth Wing!! I have actually already read it as I am writing this and I will write a full review but I will let you know that I absolutely loved it and I am 100% a **** for Xaden Riorson. 

The third book I picked up is called Casket Case by Lauren Evans. This is story about a girl who works for her family business producing caskets. She meets a guy by chance and he always seems to be at the forefront of death. I am very excited to read this one in October as part of my spooky reads (I know I picked this up like 8 months early but it's a vibe). 

Book four is The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon. I picked up the super pretty sprayed edge version from The Works and I love it! As for the book itself, I've heard a lot of good reviews so I am excited to pick it up. It follows the story of Talasyn as she navigates the magic that runs through her. It sounds so good based on its Goodreads description. 



The fifth book I picked up was 'A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire' which is the third novel in the Glimmer Falls Series. I have already picked up the first two but plan to read them all in the autumn saving them for September-November! I love a romance and I think I might love a paranormal romance even more. 

The final book I picked up (in February at least) was Rise and Divine by Lana Harper. Only now I am writing this, I am realising that it is book 5 in a series. What a shame, I'll need to buy four more books aha! This is a witchy book which will probably be another autumn read. I will need to catch up on the first four before I read this one!

Book Review: Daydream - Hannah Grace

-

  Okay, this book hit me hard. It was definitely the best book from the Maple Hills trilogy if you ask me. It captured and held me a lot more than Icebreaker or Wildfire.  Daydream follows Halle as she tries to write her first book and Henry who is struggling with some of his classes. They meet at Halle's book club and start helping each other out. It is definitely friends to lovers which I don't read a lot of, so maybe that is why I enjoyed it so much.  Also, Halle's life is a lot like mine especially in terms of relationships. I had a really sucky first relationship and it struck a cord with me how similar everything was. It was like Hannah Grace was writing a more dramatic version of my life. Even down to the fact that I have met my Henry. He might not be as romantic as Henry Turner but he does a damn good job of looking after me.  I think this book highlights those with neurodiversity and how their brains work differently and how they can struggle to focus. I am ...

Book Reviews: Wild Love - Elsie Silver

Wild Love is the first novel in the Rose Hill Ranch series by Elsie Silver. As with all her books, there are cross overs with characters from previous series and this novel starts with the brother of Willa Grant (Heartless, Chestnut Springs), Ford Grant.  Ford is in the process of opening a new country music studio when he is thrown a curveball with a young girl at his door. Rosie Belmont grew up with Ford but begins the novel in the city working in corporate, when her boss becomes an arsehole she moves home.  The story develops pretty quickly for an Elsie Silver story. She is pretty much the queen of slow burn romance.  I loved this story, I feel like I really vibed with Ford and how he conducted himself throughout the whole book. Rosie did get a bit annoying but I think that's just because I am so relaxed and really don't have the energy for permanent anger, which seemed to be Rosie's main state.  I don't have much more to say about this other than I enjoyed the bo...

Book Review: Collide - Bal Khabra

Collide is the debut novel from Bal Khabra. It is both icy and spicy which is what I like.  I enjoyed the fact that Summer is working on a post-grad because we love a smart gal. Her hatred for ice hockey is also well deserved but I enjoyed watching her romance is Aiden bloom. Aiden is very good at what he does in more ways than one and I appreciate his devotion to his team - even if they are troublemakers.  The book is forced proximity which is always a great trope and leans into the enemies to lovers pretty well too. It takes a long time for Summer to come round to the idea of her and Aiden working together and when she does it doesn't really take long for them to fall for each other, even if they fight it at first.  It is a super romantic book with Aiden always taking the wrap to protect those he values most of all which is a lovely characteristic. I love how Summer comes through to help him in the final couple of chapters too.  Annoyingly, this is quite a difficul...
