My Thoughts
DATING DR. DIL is a hot steamy enemies-to-lovers romance and a retelling of THE TAMING OF THE SHREW by William Shakespeare. I loved the double POV and being in both Kareena’s and Prem’s heads. They had so much chemistry together with awesome bantering and amazing sexual tension. (The only thing I disliked was the descriptions of Perm’s manhood. Calling his penis Charlie is one thing, but acting like “Charlie” was a sentient being was just too much for me. I rolled my eyes every time he thought that way.)
I really enjoyed being a part of Kareena’s and Prem’s culture. I honestly didn’t know much about the American desi culture. I loved all the descriptions of the clothing, parties, and food. Oh the food! I’m now craving Indian from my favorite local restaurant. The strong familial influence, sometimes to the detriment of the characters mental health, and the pressure for Indian women to be married and having kids before 30 really resonated with me.

My Thoughts
THIS SPELLS LOVE is a friends-to-lovers steamy fast-paced romance. I absolutely adored everything about it and couldn’t put it down. I loved Gemma, her sister, kooky aunt, and her best friend Dax. The sexual tension between Gemma and Dax is amazing! I loved the setting of Hamilton, Canada, just outside Toronto. I also loved the lit bit of paranormal, in the form of a love-cleansing spell. It was fun to see it flip Gemma’s world on its head, causing her to figure out what was truly important to her.

My Thoughts
THE INVOCATIONS was a dark, tense, mysterious story full of paranormal goodness. I loved the idea of witches and witch hunters, and the use of invocations to grant women borrowed power from demons for a small piece of their soul. It reminded me of an episode of Netflix’s THE CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA, which is what I think Krystal Sutherland was going for since she mentioned the show a couple of times in the story. I loved Zara, Jude, and Emer, the three main characters and loved that they made an unstoppable team.
