It makes the story even better. I really enjoyed Kill the Beast.

Moira Quirk is my favorite UK narrator. Her ability to bring so many characters to life and set them apart so well is unmatched.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the ALC. 3/3

gets a little more complicated when a rich dandy who loves fashion is forced to tag along with her. They hand witty banter together as they work together. I thought I knew where this story's plot twist was headed, but I was surprised when it took an unexpected turn. 2/3

4.5⭐️ Kill the Beast is a fantastic story about healing, grief, forgiveness, and friendship. The FMC is a boastful menace at times, but her character growth is that much more special. The adventure to forge a weapon to avenge the death of her brother 1/3 #booksky

This audiobook has a full cast that did an excellent job immersing me into the story.

It sets a tone for the next part when they are adults within the crime syndicates. I enjoyed how this magic system was explained through lessons and lore. I also love how morally grey both main characters are. A fantastic read! 2/3

5⭐ Red City is a dark and gritty Romeo and Juliet nod with transformation magic. We have multiple POVs, but it happens in a way that serves the story well. I love how the story starts in their childhood, so we can learn about their motivations and see their love for one another grow. 1/3 #booksky

I think readers who enjoyed Silver Elite will enjoy this as well. It doesn’t have a magical element, but the romance subplot is similar.

4.25⭐️ If Capital aristocrats carried out the Hunger Games, you would have the daily scene at Endlock, a prison that hosts The Hunt in To Cage a Wild Bird. This story is filled with action to keep readers fighting alongside the FMC for more. I love a good dystopian that sparks a rebellion. #booksky

I didn’t think books that had this much spice could also bring tears to my eyes with so much warmth. The slow burn yearning at the beginning gave way to scorching hot scenes. This was such an enjoyable read. I ended up switching to the audiobook after I saw a full cast of some of the top narrators.

characters apart to make them really feel so different.
The story reminded me of Anji Kills a King in terms of an epic quest with young characters.

Elver is scorned but has such a big heart for her fellow jih. Artair has lived a sheltered, caged life that he must leave to save those around him. And Lucian is filled with secrets.
Narrated by Esme Lonsdale and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, who does a fantastic job at setting both MMC 2/3

4.5⭐️ An absolutely epic fantasy with toiling gods and mad humans. The Sleepless takes you on a quest with a child of the gods whose touch is poison and a sleepless with another soul who comes out when his body falls asleep. This was such a clever story that I devoured it in one sitting. 1/3

Congratulations!!! So happy for you.

The slow burn between the main characters is glorious. I love the banter and wit. When he says her name, Fionamara, *swoon*. The Voidwalking is really interesting and I hope we get even more details in the next book.

While I did receive an ARC, I purchased the audiobook & a book trophy!

4.75⭐️ Voidwalker is a love story between X-Men Nightcrawler and Blink, and you can’t convince me otherwise. I really enjoyed Voidwalker! It starts with strong action to capture your attention. There is a bit of a lull in the middle, but the ending brings it back around. #Booksky

My August Reading Wrap Up is here. I read 27 books (18 ARCs & 9 TBR). I had lots of my Libby holds come in all at once. So I got to listen to lots of great reads on my TBR.

Do you keep a journal next to your bed to write them down so you don't forget them?

Meghan Cooper @megcooper.com · Aug 24

Curious about when the #WritingCommunity gets their best ideas. I find myself waking up in the morning lucid dreaming some of my best content. When is your mind the most creative?

but the gods fated soul bound is so powerful that all the lines are blurred between them. So much spice and love make you question what you would do for a love like this.
