Serpent & Dove By: Shelby Mahurin

Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin may be my favorite read of 2019! After devouring the Discovery of Witches series at the beginning of the year and eagerly awaiting Queen Of Nothing all year, that is really saying something! However, it’s well deserved. This book literally has EVERYTHING I want in a story. Literally so well written and developed! I fell in love with Lou and Reid, their heart warming and hilarious relationship, and the world Mahurin creates!
Lou, a witch in hiding, has a complicated past and when she is forced to marry her enemy, the witch hunter Reid, it could mean the end of her. When her past comes back to haunt her, truths are exposed, and hearts are torn. The most daunting question is will Reid follow his heart or his head.
So, about the book! It’s a classic enemy to lovers romance set in an exciting fantasy world of witches and witch hunters. One review I read complained that it was 500+ pages long.... excuse me but, hello?!? This story needs that exciting length!! This book feels more NA than YA to me, and for those of you who care, there is a tasteful and exciting sex scene. So young readers (or those of you who don’t like that sort of thing) should be aware this book does have mature content.
I could go on and on about the content of this book, but I really don’t want to give anything away, and I wouldn’t be able to resist! I devoured this book, and I’m anxiously awaiting Honey & Blood.

Bootleg Springs Series By Lucy Score and Claire Kingsley

Y’ALL! I devoured this six book series, Bootleg Springs . I have so much I want to say about it, but I will try not to drop any big spoilers! Lucy Score and Claire Kingsley did a great job collaborating on this series. Although I believe I can tell the difference in who was the main writer in each book, the series was so well woven and consistent. I gave each of the books 5 stars on Goodreads !             The books are set in a small West Virginia town, Bootleg Springs, famous for its hard-hitting moonshine. I fell in love with the town as well as the quirky characters that gave the town its uniqueness. Our main characters are the Bodine family and their close friends. Each book follows a different set of characters, found on the beautiful covers, and the series needs to be read in order! There is an overarching storyline involving the disappearance of a teenage girl 13 years earlier, and that’s all I can say about ...

Red Rising By Pierce Brown

I am so impressed with this story,  Red Rising by Pierce Brown. It has sat in my “to-read list” for a really long time. Honestly, I’m a little thankful I waited because the anticipation waiting for the next book would have killed me with this series! I gave this book a 5/5 rating. I honestly loved it. I read the first six chapters before I went to bed, and the next day at work all I could think about was the story and how I had to know what happened. To say the least my heart was so shattered (maybe because I have a soft spot for miners…who knows!?) during that initial section. Brown did such a great job capturing the identity of his characters and making you love and need more from them. In a world separated by the color of someone’s hair, eyes, and sigils, Darrow, the lowest of the low a red, slaves in the bottoms of the mines of mars. When his life is shattered and torn upside down he, our favorite helldiver, goes through hell to face the golds and make his wife’...

The Lucky Dress By: Aimee Brown

Emi Harrison, our main girl, is freshly back on the market after her ex-fiancée, Jack, decided to be a sleaze. She is moving on by creating a new life for herself and pushing her broken heart past her worst moment ever. It’s been a year since the big scandal went down, and she is being forced to see Jack again at her brother’s wedding. Throw in an archenemy and what could go wrong, right?! The Lucky Dress   was so fun! A true definition of a RomCom!  When reading a novel, writing skill is very important to me. Overall, Brown did a fantastic job writing this story. I did notice some wording that was off once or twice while reading it (honestly could just be style differences), but it wasn’t enough to affect my opinion of the novel. I really loved how Brown moved forward as well as backward with this book. The flashback scenes allowed me to get to know the characters better as well as understand their emotions. When I started this novel, I had no idea where it was g...
