Unravel the Dusk by Elizabeth Lim (ARC Review)

October 25, 2020

Maia Tamarin’s journey to sew the dresses of the sun, the moon and the stars has taken a grievous toll. She returns to a kingdom on the brink of war. The boy she loves is gone, and she is forced to don the dress of the sun and assume the place of the emperor’s bride-to-be to keep the peace. But the war raging around Maia is nothing compared to the battle within. Ever since she was touched by the demon Bandur, she has been changing . . . glancing in the mirror to see her own eyes glowing red, losing control of her magic, her body, her mind. It’s only a matter of time before Maia loses herself completely, but she will stop at nothing to find Edan, protect her family, and bring lasting peace to her country… Read More Unravel the Dusk by Elizabeth Lim (ARC Review)

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout (ARC Review)

July 20, 2020

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers. The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself… Read More From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout (ARC Review)

Well, it looks like a third of 2020 got away from me. We’ve all been dealing with COVID-19 one way or another, and I suppose that for me personally…the whole thing decided to target my mental health. I fell behind on reading and on my blogging. My apartment got messier and messier. Luckily, though, I… Read More Monthly Wrap-Up (2020 Update: April, May, June)
