Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

352 Pages

This book...had me in a love/hate relationship with it. I LOVED the characters, storyline, and the villain's "touch her you die" kind of trope. The ending even got me. This book took you on a story of how the villain was not always the villain, and that life can turn you into something you never thought you would be. It follows a deep hatred from the King and the Villain Trystan. It has dragons and a mole that infiltrated the Villain's network. Even the most adorable frog named Kingsley, holds up signs to communicate in the most blunt ways. It had everything I enjoyed reading about. 

Except, you could tell the two main characters were falling in love. You could feel the passion and love these characters had for each other. And nothing. Feelings were never expressed to each other, and they only shared one kiss because it helped them out of a bind with the guards. I love reading a book and rooting for the characters, finding myself clapping with excitement when they finally verbally express how they feel or even kiss. It's like when you watch a movie and the same thing happens, you jump for joy or yell " Finally!" at the screen. I wanted to do that the whole book and nothing. 

It is definitely a preference and a personal opinion. So if slow-burn fantasy is your thing, then you will love this. If not, well then you have been given the heads up.  All in all, this book is a solid 8 out of 10.

  The Obsession by Jesse Q. Sutanto Pages: 320   This book was okay. I didn't hate it. Didn't love it.  It was very predictable as things unfolded, which as a thriller that might have been what made me feel neutral about it.  Delilah has been controlled by sketchy men her whole life, until she takes things into her own hands.  Logan is infatuated with Delilah. He will do anything to maintain having her in his life.  I feel for Delilah because even after taking control of her life, she still is a magnet for sketchy men. She just wants what every other girl wants. A normal happy relationship. Which she thought she had with Logan.  Logan, this guy is a walking red flag. Yet on the other hand if he wasn't so creepy and intense he might have had things play out the way he wanted. Instead he hid cameras around Delilah's life. He blackmailed, and in his mind things had progressed way faster than on her end.

Meet Me in the Margins

                                                                                                                      Meet me in the Margins by Melissa Ferguson             As someone who loves to read and write this book was at the top of my romance reading list.                                                That's probably where it should have stayed. I love a good meet-cute book as much as the next girly but this just stayed flat. I felt I was struggling and grasping for those cute moments that are what keeps the pages turning. I hate giving a bo...

  Old Black Witch by Wende Devlin - 32 Pages The Dream for Nicky and his mother was just that, a dream. That was until they found the perfect Old New England house to transform into a tearoom. What they did not plan on was the cranky and eccentric Witch that resided within. A little trouble with robbers, or how flying blueberry pancakes would go over with the guests.  If you would like to whip up a batch yourself, you can! The book has a copy on the back.
