The Life of a Mafia Princess

-
   

  This was a quick read...or at least it felt like it. I tend to stray away from books that have the FMC being some weak willed damsel that needs to be saved at every turn. Especially when she doesn't try to help herself. This book definitely felt that way in the beginning. I wanted to shake some sense into Charia!! I just wanted her to grow a backbone. Then of course everytime she tried to be defiant it never went her way. From one tragedy to another. I was also thrown for a loop with the men. Like I thought it was going to be the four men and her....then just the one guy and her. Like I was so confused then it went to the three guys and her. My eyes were spinning like a spinning top! She never seemed to really get attached to anyone in particular. Then once I thought she did, she ran away from him! It was strange. Then the reveal of who killed her mother. Whew, I wanted him gone with the quickness. Of course this book ends right as she was going to get revenge on her mother's murderer. 
     The spice in this book was good. Once it finally got to it (around 70%). I was concerned at first that there wouldn't be any or it would be the last few pages. I was like ok this is starting to drag, can we get to the wedding night already!! It was worth it tho!! Whew!!
   I'd give this book a 3.5 out of 5 in the spice area. Really close to a 4. It was really good. The play around it though kinda brought it down for me. Overall I'd give this book a 3 out of 5. The plot was kinda drawn out. It was confusing on how the FMC felt about everyone. I hope we get more insight in the next book. I would definitely recommend this book and I'm looking forward to the next one!!

Am I A Furry?

   I finally decided to take the plunge and start this series. This book was really good and I felt so much for Elise. She has so much happening and to see her experience moments of pure happiness was the most rewarding part of this book. As for the men, whew, I really want to continue this series just to see how she is able to resolve the fact that two of the men are mortal enemies. How are they going to come to terms with each other? They are mortal enemies and their families have hated each other for generations!! The others I can see getting along just because but generational enemies?!?!?! That right there is enough to make me want to finish the series. There are so many things that are thrown in here that I'm like, GIVE ME MORE!! I have to know what's going on! The principle, what's his deal because I just feel like he's involved some how. Felix Oscura, who does he want dead enough to involve Ryder? Who is the King? Is it Cindy Lou? Is the name there t

End of The Month Wrap Up- September '23

   We are here again with another End of the Month Wrap Up. It's crazy to say that I can't believe it again but we have burned through this month in a blink. I have gone on a trip and come back and here we are, at the end of the month once again!! I didn't do as much reading as I wanted to since I fell into a slump during the middle of the month. Still all of the books that I read were interesting in their own way. So let's see where all these books fell this month!       Favorite Character:   Avery- Avery from Wonder Light is my selection as favorite character of the month!! I loved that she decided to take some time for herself and do something crazy. Sometimes doing something different can be just what we need to shock our systems and can reset us. Especially when we you go through something traumatic. I also loved her location choice! Most of the places that she went to in this book are places that I also visited. Her personality was almost exactly like

The Cliffiest of Cliff Hangers

    Whew,  I received this ARC for a honest review of this book. Let me just say that this was cruel and unusual punishment!! Like the title for this review says, the biggest cliff, in cliffhanger history ends this book.  The next page asks us to wait until next year for the next book.  I won't survive. I will spend the next week writing down theories of how this could continue.      The characters in this book are so memorable!! I love a snarky heroine and her dark hero. These two are actually a match made in... well hell? Darkness? I don't know but I can't wait to read more when the next book in this series drops. I definitely recommend this book!! The spice didn't come to the end but it was hot !! I give the spice 3 out of 5 simply because I wish there was more!! It was so good! Overall I'd rate this book 4 out of 5!! Great works building,  great characters, and plot. Everything is paced nicely and it definitely leaves you wanting more!!
