The Wretched Divine

Adalyn Grace

Aurelie Chantelune was born to serve. Raised as a knight in a kingdom ravaged by demons, she's spent her life honing her blade, driven by the memory of the monsters who tore her family apart and by the knowledge that she's one of the few who can stop them. If Aurelie can claim her first kill, she'll inherit a legacy passed down through the Chantelune bloodline: a soulbond with Yuriel, an angel whose power is vital to her kingdom's survival. But when those she loves begin turning into the very monsters she's sworn to destroy, Aurelie is forced to seek help from the last place she ever imagined. Desperate, she forges a second and far more dangerous bond with Severin, a demon she can hardly trust, but who claims to know how to end the war for good. With their lives and fates entwined, Aurelie, Yuriel, and Severin must team up to hunt down a cure capable of turning demons back into humans. But the more they learn about one another and the deeper their relationships grow, the more Aurelie begins to question the war and her place in it. With both of her bonded on opposing sides, she'll have to make a choice: continue to stand with the angels, or risk everything by trusting a demon.

✨Whoa, that was a lot of cannibalism😅✨

I’m not sure what I expected from The Lamb, but I sure wasn’t expecting that much cannibalism. This one is not for the weak stomached for sure!

Absolutely love all the metaphors in this one. This book has a lot to say and it isn’t shocking just for the sake of it. If you know what I mean. I really dislike books that just try to hard to be shocking for no reason and this is NOT that. Hallelujah 🙌

I was really surprised by the ending and I absolutely LOVED it!!! 👏 Can’t wait to see what Lucy Rose writes next!!

The Lamb

Lucy Rose

From an incendiary new talent, a contemporary queer folktale about a mother and daughter living in the woods, for fans of Angela Carter, Margaret Atwood, and Julia Armfield. “Deliciously dark and shockingly bold—someone needs to make this into a film right now! Lucy Rose is one to watch. This is one of my favorite debuts in a long time.”—Kirsty Logan, author of Now She is Witch and Things We Say in the Dark A FOLK TALE. A HORROR STORY. A LOVE STORY. AN ENCHANTMENT. Margot and Mama have lived by the forest ever since Margot can remember. When Margot is not at school, they spend quiet days together in their cottage, waiting for strangers to knock on their door. Strays, Mama calls them. People who have strayed too far from the road. Mama loves the strays. She feeds them wine, keeps them warm. Then she picks apart their bodies and toasts them off with some vegetable oil. But Mama’s want is stronger than her hunger sometimes, and when a beautiful, white-toothed stray named Eden turns up in the heart of a snowstorm, Margot must confront the shifting dynamics of her family, untangle her own desires, and make her own bid for freedom. With this gothic coming-of-age tale, debut novelist Lucy Rose explores how women swallow their anger, desire, and animal instincts—and wrings the relationship between mother and daughter until blood drips from it.

✨✨Mixed Bag ✨✨

I liked the overall story, and what a story it was! A RABBIT HOLE!! I really enjoyed the deep dive and trying to find out what happened to Ashley. I had to keep reading and find out!!!

It felt a little bit disconnected to me though. Mostly because I never really connected to the characters. Also, lord it was unnecessarily long. Which a long book is fine, but this one could have been edited down some imo.

I was super intrigued the whole way through, but I don’t know. I feel pretty middle of the road about it. Not sure how I feel about the ending also. 🤔

A very mixed bag for me so 3 stars I think is the fairest rating!

Night Film

Marisha Pessl

On a damp October night, 24-year-old Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide, veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances surrounding Ashley's life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive cult-horror film director Stanislaus Cordova--a man who hasn't been seen in public for more than thirty years. For McGrath, another death connected to this seemingly cursed family dynasty seems more than just a coincidence. Though much has been written about Cordova's dark and unsettling films, very little is known about the man himself. Driven by revenge, curiosity, and a need for the truth, McGrath, with the aid of two strangers, is drawn deeper and deeper into Cordova's eerie, hypnotic world. The last time he got close to exposing the director, McGrath lost his marriage and his career. This time he might lose even more.

Sapphire Scales and Tears

Stella Novoa

In a world that fears The Old Gods, Emma has nothing left to lose. Betrayed by the man she trusted with her body and heart, ruined in the eyes of her village, and facing a future of shame or exile, she chooses to jump off the cliff’s edge over a life of regret. But death does not claim her. Instead, she awakens in a hidden sea cave, bound by blood and ancient magic to two devastatingly beautiful dragon shifters who have slumbered for centuries: gentle, cerulean-eyed Kryos and fierce, emerald-eyed Hylas. Tied to her life force, the dragons are her only way out of the village that never wanted her and she is their only chance at freedom. As Emma flees with the very creatures her world now calls extinct and heretical, she must navigate a dangerous new reality: a bond she never asked for, two males who awaken feelings she swore she would never trust again, and the terrifying truth that her “sacrifice” may have awakened far more than just two dragons. Some bonds can be broken. Some hearts are worth risking everything for. Sapphire Scales and Tears is the first book in the Dragon Scales and Hearts Saga, a lush, character-driven romantasy trilogy perfect for fans of emotional slow-burn, dragon shifter romance, and stories of healing after betrayal.

That Which Feeds Us

5.0

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

✨✨✨You had me at Hawaiian Gothic!!!✨✨✨

That Which Feeds Us is a beautiful YA gothic horror/thriller with a powerful message about the atrocities committed against native Hawaiians that you won’t soon forget!!

I loved this story! I don’t think I’ve ever read a horror novel set in Hawaii before. A gothic book set in Hawaii is definitely unique and right up my alley! The atmosphere in this book is so spot on. I enjoyed this one so much!

I really liked the FMC Lehua and felt for her while she was searching for her missing twin. I absolutely LOVED the blend of Hawaiian folklore and a bit of supernatural, mixed with such a poignant and important message. I absolutely LOVED the ending too!!!

I am so impressed with how well the author tackled some major topics all wrapped up in such an entertaining and well done book and without being preachy. 👏

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free ebook copy in exchange for an honest review. This book is expected to be released May 5, 2026.
