My Thoughts

I’m so glad STOLEN MIDNIGHTS was a Book of the Month pick. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been on my radar. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I loved the setting, characters, and magic system. Wren and Damien had amazing banter, chemistry, and sexual tension. I’m so anxious to read the sequel after that ending and I can only hope this duology will turn out the way I want it to.

My Thoughts

I don’t know why I waited so long to read THE IMMORTAL THRONE. I knew I’d love it and I did, more than I thought I would. This was a fantastic conclusion to the trilogy. I loved that some things were left open, but most of the major things were resolved. I loved getting to spend time in both the Underrealm and Skyrealm. I loved LOVED LOVED all the mythology that went into this trilogy (and all the Star Wars references since I know Bree is a huge fan).

My Thoughts

Since I really enjoyed XOXO, I was super excited to see a follow up with Sori and Nathaniel as the main characters had been written as well. I love second-chance romances and ASAP was no exception. This was such a cute, heart-felt, and fun story. I loved Sori and Nathaniel. They had amazing chemistry and a lot of fun banter. Their longing for each other was palpable and made for some delicious sexual tension.

Also in this series: Divine Rivals, Ruthless Vows
My Thoughts

When I read DIVINE RIVALS and RUTHLESS VOWS, I really wanted to learn more about the gods and their magic system. I’m so glad Ross decided to write WILD REVERENCE as a prequel from the POV of one of those gods. I loved spending time in the Under and Skyward Realms. I also loved seeing the Mortal Realm from a god’s perspective. Matilda was a fantastic character to give us the insight we wanted. I loved watching her grow into her powers, gaining confidence, and kicking ass. I especially enjoyed witnessing her life with and love for Vincent.

My Thoughts

XOXO was a really cute YA romance. I’m surprised by how much I liked it because I don’t read a lot of YA anymore unless it’s an old favorite, and I thought any book about someone dating a K-pop idol would be super cheesy and fanfic-ish. Fortunately, the first one was a non-issue and this story was really well done.
