 We Who Have No Gods by Liza Anderson




Absolutely Phenomenal – A Wild, Heart-Pounding Ride from Start to Finish!

This book devoured me. It was bold, breathtaking, clever, emotional, and packed with nonstop energy. If you're into deep, brooding "Shadowhunter" vibes with a twist of cunning magic and high-stakes survival, buckle up, you’re in for a ride. I haven’t rated a book six stars in months, and this one? This one reached into my chest, grabbed my heart, and refused to let go.

Let’s start with the setup. The story kicks off with our fierce FMC, Vic, on the run with her younger brother Henry, fleeing a secret society of witches. Their mother’s dying words were a warning: Run. They’re coming for Henry. And run she did—for years. At just 16, Vic became her brother’s protector, mother, and guardian all in one. But time ran out. When Henry chose to stop running, Vic reluctantly agreed to drop him off at the academy… but walking away wasn’t an option. Henry was all she had left, and that fierce, unshakable bond? It cut deep.

Walking into that castle wasn’t in her plans—but neither was becoming the only human ever admitted to the witches’ academy. Instantly targeted and bullied, Vic didn’t flinch. She’s stubborn, battle-worn, and refuses to be broken. Her strength isn’t just physical—it’s raw, emotional, earned. She’s loyal, protective, and sharp as hell. If you love a capable, no-nonsense heroine who’s been forged in fire, Vic’s your girl.

And then there’s Xan. Grumpy. Brooding. Sinfully sexy. Think shadowy, dangerous, and just soft enough to make your heart ache. He’s your next book boyfriend, no question—total “shadow daddy” material, and surprisingly tender beneath all that edge. Their chemistry? Electric.

The world-building and magic system were smooth and immersive—easy to follow without ever feeling simple. You’re dropped into a complex world, but never left behind. Every detail feels intentional, every twist earned.

If you're hunting for your next fantasy obsession—something with depth, danger, heat, and heartbreak—add this to your TBR now. Just be warned: the wait for this book (not out until January 2026) might destroy you. I’m already suffering.

P.S. Henry? Ugh. The kid was ungrateful, cold, and frankly, left a bitter taste in my mouth. Vic deserved better from him after everything she gave up.

 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 Heart of Crimson Flames by A.K. Mulford Returning to the world of A Heart of Crimson Flames felt like slipping into something familiar and comforting, yet still full of surprises. This installment delivered a satisfying blend of rich magic, swoo ny romance, and layered political intrigue that kept me engaged from start to finish. One of the most commendable aspects of the book is its commitment to inclusivity—there’s such thoughtful and authentic representation woven throughout, and it was genuinely refreshing to see characters who reflect a broad spectrum of identities, backgrounds, and experiences. It made the story feel more grounded, more human, and ultimately more powerful. The relationships between characters—both romantic and platonic—brought a lot of warmth to the story. There are some truly tender, heart-melting moments that had me grinning, as well as a few unexpected twists that added tension and kept me on my toes. That said, I did feel like the pacing could have bee...
