Julie’s Review of : I went into this with some biases from the posts I have seen in the bookverse. One is that the series is amazing but you have to get through book one, and that the FMC Diem is unlikable. And another was a really cool reel I saw where the book girlie […]
Julie’s Review of : Something about this book really got under my skin. The emotions and angst I felt, right alongside our main character! Going into it I knew it was a Hades and Persephone retelling, the blurb gives away a lot, and the tropes shared by the author give away more. Except… that’s not […]

Julie’s Review: Thanks to Netgalley and the author for a the ALC chance to experience on audiobook. This book is told in alternating POV between Roremar “Reckless” and Emmeline the fate-reader aka “Huntress” (yes I love these nicknames) and the audio is dual style between two narrators. I really enjoyed the female voice narration as […]
Julie’s Review: is getting full 5 stars because I inhaled it in like two days (a 500 page book)! When everything seems to be going well and our main characters are in a happy place and we’re not even halfway through the book? Oh you know something bad is imminent. This book grabbed me, […]
