A Risk Worth Taking - Jessica Joyce 3.75⭐️

LAST BOOK OF 2025 🥳
Not sure about the rating.
But a cute book. Short & sweet!

Your Knife, My Heart - K.M. Moronova 3⭐️

I mean..it's a book. Not sure if I'm more confused or disappointed with this book after I really liked Leave Me Behind.

Will probably read book two.

Gleam - Raven Kennedy 4⭐️

The majority of this book is just Auren and her repetitive monologues.
The last 10% though...👌🏻

Pick Me - Victoria Schade 3.25-3.5⭐️

Didn't go in the directions I expected. Didn't like the kinda half-love triangle.
I did like that the sport was a different one than you would usually find in a sport romance.

Thanks @ publisher for an earc via #NetGalley!

The Gods Below - Andrea Stewart

DNF @ 41%

Not the outcome I hoped for with this book.
Great beginning, very intriguing world-building and then it just didn't really click.
I might make a second attempt someday.

To Cage a Wild Bird - Brooke Fast 3.5⭐️

Great on the dystopian. Not so great on the romance.
Intriguing prison setting & world building with potential & a couple of missed opportunities to do more with it.
Will read book 2!

Great sequel! New characters! More world building! A tad slower than book one.
Excited for book three!

Wild. Absolutely wild.
Wasn't really surprised by the twist, but was nonetheless thoroughly entertained.

Smaragdgrün - Kerstin Gier 4⭐️

Der dritte & letzte Teil hat mir wieder etwas besser gefallen, als Teil zwei.
Den neuen Epilog, das Highlight der Neuauflage, fand ich sehr gelungen!

Glint - Raven Kennedy 3.5-3.75⭐️

There were a lot of words and barely plot in the first half.
Still can't really stand Auren as the main pov. It's like reading the diary of a 15yo... But I'm obviously hooked so will keep reading!

Savor It - Tarah DeWitt 3.5⭐️

Had its cute moments. Though this novel isn't very long, it did feel a bit wordy at times.
I expected Fisher & the new restaurant to be more of a main plot point than it actually was.

Excited for Ellis & Wren's story!

Katabasis - R.F. Kuang 2.5-3 ⭐️

In the Veins of the Drowning - Kalie Cassidy 2⭐️

My hopes were high. Unfortunately, this was disappointing.
The plot was questionable. The romance, but more so the characters involved in said romance, annoying.
Won't be continuing this series.

The Off-Limits Rule - Sarah Adams 3.75⭐️

I read book 2 last year & now have finally caught up with book 1. I do have to say that I enjoyed "The Temporary Roomie" slightly more.

Still a cute (and short) series.
