House of Flame and Shadow (Crescent City #3) by Sarah J. Maas
I had high hopes for this series only for them to be crushed. This book is mediocre at best and makes me think Maas didn’t really have a clue where this series was going.

Pestilence (The Four Horsemen #1) by Laura Thalassa
The vibes are there and if you don’t think too hard about it, it’s not a bad book. It’s just not a great one either.
-
Kiss the Sky (Calloway Sisters #1) by Krista & Becca Ritchie
While I started with the Addicted series, I’m sorry to say Lo and Lily don’t hold a candle to Rose and Connor. I loved finally getting to be inside their heads and seeing how they operated.

These Twisted Bonds (These Hollow Vows #2) by Lexi Ryan
While I loved These Hollow Vows, These Twisted Bonds might be even better. We get more everything in this book, but especially more romance.

These Hollow Vows (These Hollow Vows #1) by Lexi Ryan
The plot is simple and while I was able to guess every twist I was still captivated by it. Being able to easily guess the twists though didn’t make the journey or the reveal of them any less exciting or suspenseful.

Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney
Alice Feeney never fails to deliver a mystery that keeps me guessing the whole time. While I’d say her previous books are more mystery/thrillers, this one is just a mystery that explores the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters.

What Happens After Midnight by K.L. Walther
Are you in your Taylor Swift era? Then I have just the book for you. What Happens After Midnight is a cute story about first love, losing it and finding it again all to the tune of some of Taylor Swift’s greatest songs.

Well Matched (Well Met #3) by Jen DeLuca
Well Matched was such a sweet and heartwarming story. I had been looking forward to April’s story and was kind of dubious that she was being paired with Mitch, but they just work.

Well Played (Well Met #2) by Jen DeLuca
While I wasn’t originally interested in Stacey’s story, I’m really glad I went back for it. DeLuca did an amazing job and I now look forward to Stacey showing up (along with Benedict!) in the other books.

Well Met (Well Met #1) by Jen DeLuca
Well Met might go down as my favorite summer read of 2021. It was so cute and swoon-worthy against a perfect Renaissance Faire backdrop. From wenches to hot men in kilts along with dashingly romantic pirates; this book had it all.
