The biggest issue I have is that this is not…
BookTok got me on the hype train with a novel that promises stunning insights into Ethiopian culture and vampires. Unfortunately, this book just didn’t hit it for me.

As I wait for the sequel to The Cruel Prince to be released, I decided to check out other books by this author. I was really happy to find that the author has written many standalone books, because I’m not sure if I’m up for the commitment of a series right now – I have far…
I read this book back in March but I wanted to time my review to be closer to the release date so that it could be more relevant for readers! Thank you to Edelweiss for the review copy in exchange for my honest review. I love mythology and seeing that this book is inspired by…
