Hello, Book lovers!

                                         Hello! 



(That's me!)

I haven't blogged for a long time, and I thought I would take this up again to post my reviews here. I do post them everywhere I can, but I haven't gotten the courage to make videos yet. I make them and they stay in my drafts. And every time I think maybe today. Yet, that day never comes. 


Let me start by telling you a little about myself. I am a photographer by trade who loves to read and spend time outside, alone. I've loved to read since I was younger 7 maybe, I'm not sure, the first book I picked up was from our local library and it was a book called Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. Who is now my friend on Facebook. I know, I know, I'm popular! In all seriousness, the book transformed me, it took me to another world where I would be someone else, feel what someone else was feeling and I was hooked.

I read off and on as I grew, but as you know teens are horrible creatures and I was no different. This is the time in my life I call, trying to fit in the square peg when I clearly was a fucking hexagon or some other fancy ass shape. I tried and tried to fit the norm, and I wasn't like anyone I knew. 

Oh, look a squirrel!

Reading as an adult helped me with my anxiety and depression, and it was terrible. I didn't have a supportive partner, and I was raising three beautiful crazy little boys alone. I turned my mind to book where I was able to escape for a while. When I say it got bad guys, it got bad. I finally made some amazing friends in the book community who helped me figure some things out and gain the strength to leave. For 16 year I didn't realize I was in a relationship with a man who refused to understand me. He didn't want anything to do with any of my likes or wants. I wrote a few books, and he didn't care. We'd go to a bookstore, and he's just told me when we are leaving the moment we got in there, the saddest part of this is he acted the same when it came to our kids.

Anyways, this is about the books and not the trauma. 

It's the ADHD! (It was Patricia, not me!)

What was I saying? I have been reading for a long time, and I will be sharing it here with whoever wants to read this. I won't be posting everything I have read this year because I'm at 73 books to date, but I will be sharing future reviews and anticipated releases and all the good stuff. 


TRIGGER WARNINGS - I cuss a lot, I read the smuttest of smut, and I am not sorry for it. I have ADHD so bad I will go days without posting, I try, and that's what matters. And everything I post her is my thought and opinions. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T BITE IT! Like momma cookie says on tiktok!

 King Maximilianus by P.E. Nylund One of the things that stood out to me most about this book was how refreshingly uncluttered it felt. So many stories in this genre tend to get bogged down with repetitive dialogue or overly drawn-out scenes, but this one moved with a clean, confident pace. I never felt like I was treading the same ground twice, which made the reading experience feel smooth, intentional, and surprisingly refreshing. I’ve always had a deep respect for indie authors. Putting your work out into the world, especially in a space as competitive and vocal as the shifter genre, takes serious guts. And this author did more than just show up, they carved out a niche. The choice to have the male lead narrate the story felt bold and unexpected, and it really worked. It gave the narrative a fresh angle I don’t often see in paranormal romance, and I appreciated that risk. It’s also clear that the author made a genuine effort to flesh out each character, not just the leads, ...

 Unseen by Christy Healy In Éire, 1082, myth and fate collide. The Snow, The Crow, & The Blood is a haunting retelling of a Donegal folktale, and Healy breathes powerful new life into it. At its heart is an epic and tragic love story between Riona and Conor—one tested from the very beginning by grief, sacrifice, and the grip of destiny. Riona, having lost her entire family, is forced into a perilous deal when she confronts Donn, the shadowy lord of death who governs Magh—the land where mortal souls linger before passing on. He threatens her daughter’s life and demands her servitude. But Riona is no ordinary woman. She carries the blood of gods, and as her powers awaken, she must make devastating choices that blur the lines between love, survival, and vengeance. This novel is a beautifully crafted tale steeped in Irish mythology. The characters—especially the terrifying yet mesmerizing Morrigan, goddess of war and death—feel vividly real, pulling readers deep into their wo...

 A Bargain so Bloody by Vasilisa Drake Review: A Bargain So Bloody by Vasilisa Drake I just finished A Bargain So Bloody by Vasilisa Drake, and wow, what a ride! I had the chance to listen to the audiobook while reading, and it elevated the entire experience. This is one of those rare books that truly sticks to its lovers-to-enemies arc, and stays there, which I found refreshing and bold. Who said vampire books were out of style? This one proves they’re very much alive (or undead?). The author crafted such an intricate, tension-filled story that I was constantly on edge, wondering what twist was coming next. I absolutely adored it. The world building is immersive, the mystery keeps you hooked, and the pacing never drags. The audiobook narrator, Cecily Foster, brought this story to life. Although it’s not told in dual POV, I didn’t mind at all. Everything is seen through our FMC, Samara’s, eyes, and Foster did an incredible job giving depth and personality to all the charact...
