Finished this awesome trilogy by Brynne Weaver. I'm sad it's over honestly, but she did leave a hint for her next book in the epilogue. So we'll see ;_;
Serial killer ladies fall for murderous men who are protective & most if not all the victims deserve it. So. Good. #booksky

1. I acknowledge Fifty Shades is not well written & bad BDSM rep. I am still going to reread it so I can read Greys POV trilogy for the first time. If I can do the whole thing; that would be a first. 🤣 We'll see.
2. The Stars Too Fondly was really cute ❤️ I wanted more.

Really enjoying this so far, our MC is a trans woman who borrows a friend's identity to take her place in becoming a witch in a coven the friend was promised to.

We have asshole knights & someone is up to something evil in the world.
Also, wtf is up with this other witch whelp?! Jerk.

Devil of the Deep 20% in,
I feel like the writing is great but I might not be in the mood for this. Pushing through cause it's the second time I've picked it up. Hopefully, once a lot of the setup & world is settled I'll be more into it.

I love watching shows from 2020.
I know it was a hell time but there's just something.. comfy? about everyone using webcam style video to make shows.

It's literally my fuckin birthday, could you not?!
Blew out the candles, aged up and disappearing with the aliens. What a party.
