✨BLEAK AF✨

The Unworthy is another incredibly dark, depressing, graphic, and bleak book by Agustina Bazterrica, the author of Tender is the Flesh, which I also loved!

This is religious horror at its finest. I literally can’t think of anything worse than being in this cruel and violent religious cult in this kind of dystopian/apocalyptic world. Absolutely horrifying. This would seriously be such a nightmare.

This book may be short, but it is HEAVY. By then end it really feels like a lot. I mean that in a good way because it’s very impactful too. I enjoy books that are impactful like that, even though it did leave me feeling quite sad at the ending.

This book is definitely a new favorite for me.

Some TW include sexual violence, abuse, animal cruelty, and etc. I definitely recommend checking out a full list of trigger warnings for this one.

✨YESSS✨

A Dowry of Blood is a reimagining of Dracula’s brides and it was just SO GOOD. It’s such an atmospheric, fast-paced, and beautiful book. I really enjoyed this one!

ALL THE STARS!! ⭐️

What Feeds Below is THAT GIRL! 👏 This book is as good as everyone has been saying it is and absolutely WELL worth the hype!! YES, YOU DO NEED TO READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!

From chapter 1 I was HOOKED. I knew immediately that I definitely was going to love this book. This is just the horror novel that I was needing right now. It’s utterly perfect and I DEVOURED it.

I was thinking as I was reading that this book reminds me of the anime Made in Abyss, meets The Descent, meets The Last of Us, and MTG cards. Then I was browsing on IG and looking at the authors page and I saw a post where she shared what her inspirations for this book came from. Everything I was reminded of are things included in her inspo for the book!!

Tatiana Schlote-Bonne did such an incredible job creating such a fascinating world that blends so many awesome sauce things together!! Some parts in this one actually freaked me out too. NIGHTMARE FUEL. I love it. The ending. I love it. Chefs kiss! 👩‍🍳 💋

Just read it. You won’t regret it!!! I will be recommending to EVERYONE!

What Feeds Below is a new favorite book and top read of 2026 for me!!

✨The stars are for Noe!✨

I wanted to love The False Vow as much as I loved The Weaver Bride, but unfortunately I ended up frustrated!

This is definitely one of those sequel books where no one communicates properly. A lot of things could have been avoided or gone better if the characters talked to each other!!! Like just tell the other silkwitches what the situation is!!!! Y’all should be banding together and fighting back… hello!?!? A lot of the book was a slow burn as well and I had a hard time trying to stay invested.

Also, the romance from last book gets all angsty in this one and annoying. Eliot is such an butthurt crybaby and he annoyed me with that. I don’t like when books do such drastic character (negative) switch ups like that. I mean honestly everyone annoyed me so much! Except for Noe. I really liked him in this book and how he was with Lovett!!

I loved The Weaver Bride so much and I wish this one hadn’t fallen into the trap of romantasy book 2 tropes that I absolutely hate. Sadly, this one is not rated higher for me because of that. I liked it okay, there are a lot of good parts scattered in it for sure, but I definitely didn’t love this one.
