I love fantasy and romance mostly. Will occasionally read others when the mood strikes.

    Interesting concept with a lot of potential. But neither the romance nor the murder case was captivating enough for me to want to continue the series.

    Such a lovely read. I needed something easy and fun to read, and this book delivered. I loved Kitty's determination and I was rooting for her from the very beginning. Slow burns are the best.😍😍😍

    Despite it being a much slower paced historical romance novel, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The book set up our main characters as well as a host of secondary characters really solidly. Though it was a meandering tale, the writing was vivid and you could really feel Kitty's determination and anxiety to achieve marriage by the end of the Season permeating through the book. James was introduced relatively late into the book and their chemistry took time to build up. It wasn't insta love or lust by any means and I truly enjoyed seeing them become more and comfortable, then endeared, and then in love with each other. Also, though this is a low bar, it was nice to have an MMC so refreshingly different from most HR mmcs i.e. egotistical, swaggering, and very 'macho' to the point of stupidity...lol I just realized that I've just been reading too many HR with 'rakes' as the mmcs and I should maybe stop doing that.

    I’m really liking this writing. Kitty saying, “magnificent” to the description of London with all its dirt and mess and noise told me so much about this character without having to explicitly state it.

    Not gonna lie. This is a terrible world to live in. To be at the whim of vamps, angels, and archangels. The carnage is so easily done and the humans are the ones to pay for it.

  • How much do new books cost for you?

    In NZ 🇳🇿, books range from $30-$50 😢 Hardcovers cost even more (worst I’ve seen is $80 for a memoir) When I travelled overseas, I was overwhelmed by how cheap everything was!
