Pitched as Knifes Out meets Bridgerton, Belladonna is a gothic historical murder mystery romance that you’ll want to binge in one sitting.

Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

Divine Rivals is a heart wrenching story about love, loss, found family and the effects of war. I was honestly blown away by this book and it’s one that I expect to stay on my mind for quite awhile.

The Serpent & The Wings of Night

The Serpent & The Wings of Night was a new and fresh vampire story with a great plot. The plot unfortunately wasn’t backed by good (or really any) world building though.

Zodiac Academy: The Awakening by Caroline Peckham

This is definitely an all vibes book. Just don’t look at it too critically and you’ll love it. It’s not a bad book though and I thought the characters were well developed.

Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home by Jessa Hastings

Nicole Fiorina has crafted a love story for the ages. Her writing so beautiful and whimsical it puts love ballads to shame.
