Souls in Ruin (Soulbound #1)
Jacqueline White
Book One of the Soulbound Series
A marriage forged in blood. A kingdom bathed in silence. And a princess whose soul refuses to shatter.
When Princess Mireille is wed to a foreign king with cold eyes and colder intentions, she expects distance, perhaps cruelty, not chains. Kept imprisoned within her own kingdom’s walls, she learns her father’s past sins are not easily buried, but neither is she.
As her world twists into something unrecognizable, Mireille finds herself caught between two powerful beings—one who wants her obedience, and one who wants what little soul she has left.
Yet, Mireille was not born to kneel.
Souls in Ruin is the first book in a dark fantasy series about survival, obsession, and the quiet fury of a woman who refuses to be forgotten. For readers who love myth-drenched romance, morally dark men, and heroines who rise from ruin.
This book ends on a cliffhanger. For CWs, please check the author's website.

The Knave and the Moon (The Stonewater Kingdom, #2)
Rachel Gillig
Rachel Gillig, the queen of gothic romantasy, returns with higher stakes, darker mysteries, and deeper longings in this gorgeous sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling sensation The Knight and the Moth.
Aisling Cathedral is in ruins. Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew, and Maude Bauer are rumored to be dead—and the king has taken Sybil Delling as his bride. To show off their union and solidify his power over Traum, Benji proposes a series of tournaments throughout the hamlets. Captive and drugged, Sybil remains determined to vanquished him as she once did the Omens, even if she destroys the kingdom’s faith—and herself—in the process.
But then a mysterious knave rises to the top of the lists, a man with no name and no memory who may just be Sybil’s ticket to undoing Benji’s power. For in a land where stories repeat themselves, where a king can prove as cruel as a god, the only way to truly destroy the Stonewater Kingdom’s faith is to save it.

The Arachnid (The Poisoner #2)
I.V. Ophelia
In the shadows of 1890s Buffalo, a poisoner's bite leaves more than just scars—even for the undead.
Two years after fleeing London, Alina Lis has built something she never thought a home. Leading a commune of women like herself, she's found a new, greater purpose; experimenting on the Vipera. But peace, she learns, is as fragile as a spider's web in winter.
Silas Forbes, the Vipera she escaped, hasn’t forgotten. But his thirst for Alina threatens everything he's created in her absence. And he's brought another along for the Luka Novikov, the man who once betrayed her, now bound to them both by wounds that won't heal and debts that can't be paid.
As human and Vipera worlds violently collide, old poisons surface and new alliances form. In a society where survival means choosing sides, Alina must protect the family she's built, Silas must decide what price he'll pay for his obsession, and Luka—marked forever by the poisoner's kiss—must survive the clash of an immortal’s longing and a woman’s fury.
Some venoms have no antidote. Some hungers can never be satisfied.
THE ARACHNID is the second installment of the darkly seductive POISONER SERIES, where humans and Vipera twist together like lovers in the dark.

Thank you to the publisher and the author for the ARC!
The premise of this book really clicked with me, I thought it would be really cute but overall I couldn’t really get into it because the writing style didn’t click with me.
Perhaps I’m just a little too new to fantasy but I have full belief this book will be loved by many and you should give it a try!

Death Meets Cute (Deluxe Edition)
J. Penner
"Filled with so much love, heart, and delicious baked goods." —Rebecca Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of Can't Spell Treason Without Tea
I am more than capable of being evil today. I think…
Iris Weyward wants to be bad. Truly bad. Terrifyingly, gloriously villainous. But after helping her sisters unleash a spell to throw the realm into chaos, Iris is left feeling strangely empty—and still not the villain of her dreams. So, she sets off for the quiet town of Fraywell to build her wicked legacy alone.
Things start a crooked little cottage, a reputation for curses and potions, and a healthy dose of fear from the locals. But when her ogre bodyguard disappears, Iris needs new muscle. Good thing a fearsome orc just toppled over in her yard. Naturally, she decides to reanimate him. It's a perfect solution.
Only, Talon isn't the brooding warrior she was hoping for. He's gentle. He bakes. Worst of all, he's nice. But Iris can't possibly have a thing for her new employee. She's supposed to be the most wicked witch in town!
While Iris struggles to turn Talon into the enforcer she deserves, her sisters arrive seeking help—their magic is fading, and the cause may be closer than any of them realize. The timing couldn't be worse, and falling for an orc wasn't supposed to be part of her villain era, but it might turn out to be the best spell she's ever cast…

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for a chance to read this in exchange for an honest review.
To be frank, I didn’t get very far. Maybe that makes me a very picky person but it happens and it’s true. I had to DNF it.
I’m all about smutty books, but I do think the starting page just came off TOO strong to me. That’s probably a me problem but I personally would have liked at least a few pages before we got into it, that’s just me though.
That vibe kind of threw me off and I barely did get through the first chapter before I was just not feeling it :(
I could see how it could be a hit for other people though so I do encourage you to give it a try!
