The bridge Kingdom is the first book in Danielle L. Jensen’s new NA fantasy romance duology. I haven’t finished the author’s Malediction trilogy but I really liked her recent work titled Dark Shores. When I heard she was releasing another book with enemies to lovers trope, I couldn’t resist. This book isn’t an epic high fantasy that will blow your mind away, but it sure was an entertaining read. I liked both the characters in the book. The romance was great, the world building was unique, and the plot was decent enough. Overall, I liked it and can't wait for the next book. . . SYNOPSIS: What if you fell in love with the one person you’d sworn to destroy? Lara has only one thought for her husband on their wedding day: I will bring your kingdom to its knees. A princess trained from childhood to be a lethal spy, Lara knows that the Bridge Kingdom represents both legendary evil – and legendary promise. The only route through a storm-ravaged world, the Bridge Kingdom controls all trade and travel between lands, allowing its ruler to enrich himself and deprive his enemies, including Lara’s homeland. So when she is sent as a bride under the guise of fulfilling a treaty of peace, Lara is prepared to do whatever it takes to fracture the defenses of the impenetrable Bridge Kingdom. Her goal nearly within reach, Lara will have to decide her own fate: Will she be the destroyer of a king or the savior of her people?. .

Pestilence is the third installment in the Feared Fables series which is a collection of dark and twisted retellings of fairytales and myths. Every book in this anthology has gripping storyline filled with complex characters and this one didn’t disappointment me. I think this one’s my favorite book in the entire series so far. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I also love the new cover which is quite prettier and more badass than the first one. I highly recommend this series if you're into dark fairytale retellings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- . SYNOPSIS: For centuries, Pestilence has tried to fall out of love with Death—the reason for her curse. But with her heart and mind at odds, humanity’s fate doesn’t stand a chance in her cold, grey hands. Pestilence and Shadow, her trusted steed, walk the earth to deliver plagues upon the humans. But when they wake to a world they don’t recognise, Pestilence must learn to navigate the advanced technology of the humans and evade their interest in her. It isn’t long until videos of her destruction are spread across the human world. Soon, Pestilence finds herself with more than just her steed as her shadow. Now, the humans and Death are tracking her to the ends of the earth. This mission is different. There’s a new Horserider, War, whose bloodthirst can only be matched by Pestilence’s, and he carries with him a past so mysterious that Pestilence suspects he hasn’t come to end just the humans, but her, too.

I liked Silvia Morena’s Certain Dark Things, but honestly it isn’t one of my favorite Vampire books. When I heard about her new release which was inspired by Mayan Mythology, I was very much intrigued. I absolutely loved that gorgeous cover. It’s so artsy and colorful. So, What do I think about this book? Well, It was a wonderful journey. I’ve zero knowledge about Mayan History and their culture but I absolutely enjoyed reading this book and I didn’t want it to end. Besides the amazing world building, the characters were definitely the best thing. I loved both Casiopea and Hun-Kamé. They’re amazing! Overall, I loved this book and I highly recommend it if you're into historical fantasy filled with adventure, myths, and magic. . . SYNOPSIS: The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfather’s house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty, small town in southern Mexico. A life she can call her own. Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather’s room. She opens it–and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan God of Death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother. Failure will mean Casiopea’s demise, but success could make her dreams come true. In the company of the strangely alluring god and armed with her wits, Casiopea begins an adventure that will take her on a cross-country odyssey, from the jungles of Yucatán to the bright lights of Mexico City–and deep into the darkness of the Mayan underworld. Mixing the excitement of the Roaring Twenties with Prehispanic mythology, Gods of Jade and Shadow is a vivid, wildly imaginative historical fantasy. .

Kasie West’s books are either a hit or miss for me and I’m happy to say that this was a hit for me. Maybe This Time is a stand-alone YA enemies to lovers rom-com. I wanted to give it a shot because i’m a huge fan of enemies to lovers stories. I actually didn’t expect to like it but I really did. This one was a bit less mushy than her other books. Although I’ve enjoyed it, it isn’t without its faults. The heroine was a bit annoying but overall the characters were pretty fun and I really liked the small town setting. . SYNOPSIS: One year. Nine events. Nine chances to . . . fall in love? Weddings. Funerals. Barbecues. New Year’s Eve parties. Name the occasion, and Sophie Evans will be there. Well, she has to be there. Sophie works for the local florist, so she can be found at every big event in her small hometown, arranging bouquets and managing family dramas. Enter Andrew Hart. The son of the fancy new chef in town, Andrew is suddenly required to attend all the same events as Sophie. Entitled, arrogant, preppy Andrew. Sophie just wants to get her job done and finish up her sketches so she can apply to design school. But every time she turns around, there is Andrew, getting in her way and making her life more complicated. Until one day she wonders if maybe complicated isn’t so bad after all . . . .

The Merciful Crow is Margaret Owen’s debut YA fantasy novel. I’ve been looking forward to this book since I’ve first heard about it. And look at that cover, isn’t it stunning? Well, Coming to the book, it was quite an engaging read. I really enjoyed the characters, the diversity, the romance, and the magical elements but the plot seemed a bit too generic for me. The caste system in this book was very intriguing. It was derived by the bird species like hawk, peacock, crows etc. I wish the author focused a bit more on the other castes besides Crow because I really wanted to know how the entire system worked together. Anyways, despite all these issues, I still immensely enjoyed this book and its characters. . SYNOPSIS: One way or another, we always feed the crows. A future chieftain Fie abides by one rule: look after your own. Her Crow caste of undertakers and mercy-killers takes more abuse than coin, but when they’re called to collect royal dead, she’s hoping they’ll find the payout of a lifetime. A fugitive prince When Crown Prince Jasimir turns out to have faked his death, Fie’s ready to cut her losses—and perhaps his throat. But he offers a wager that she can’t refuse: protect him from a ruthless queen, and he’ll protect the Crows when he reigns. A too-cunning bodyguard Hawk warrior Tavin has always put Jas’s life before his, magically assuming the prince’s appearance and shadowing his every step. But what happens when Tavin begins to want something to call his own? . . . My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟1/2 stars!

This book’s been on TBR list for a year but I finally decided to give it a shot because I was in the mood for a good sci-fi read after reading a lot of fantasy books and this book didn’t disappoint me. It’s not something that’ll blow your mind away but it was really an enjoyable read filled with action, suspense, and thrill. If you’re looking for an entertaining sci-fi read with survival themes and some alien action then pick this up. . . SHORT SYNOPSIS: Alien meets Alexandra Bracken’s The Darkest Minds in this thrilling debut novel about prison-guard-in-training, Kenzie, who is taken hostage by the superpowered criminal teens of the Sanctuary space station—only to have to band together with them when the station is attacked by mysterious creatures. .
