Review: Layouts of Us

 ARC review Layouts of Us by Sienna Black

I liked this one, it was a slow burn, and it took me longer than usual to read but I loved the details and struggles of Ash. You could feel it in your bones. It was set over several years and it shows how long and hard it can be and take to trust your heart to someone when you are damaged. Through life, through childhood, through other "loves" but it's brilliant to see Ash evolve. I hope one day to read Blake's story too

Esme and Linc ... what a beautiful heart breaking story.

Dark and not the easiest background story. It won't be for everyone but if you can get past it, I would suggest it. This one comes with a playlist too,  I like that, somehow it makes you experience the story even deeper. I am definitely checking out Breeze's story too.

If you have triggers, please check the warnings beforehand, but otherwise give it a chance ... The 2POV's and the flash backs give you a detailed story and feeling, without being graphic or detailed but it doesn't leave much to the imagination either ... I felt like a good sob or a meeting with a punchbag at times ... so yeah it got to me ... Beautiful.

This was an ARC read

I seem to be in a spiritual kinda of mood lately ... angels and now Priests?? Ok a fake priest but still ...I liked it it was very cute, fun at times, and a bit hot, more spice would have been cool and well I wish I had more pages to read. I didn't feel completly satisfied but I am seriously thinking about reading London Magic 1 and since I know it's a trilogy I will be looking for book 3 too ... so I hope reading all 3 of them will leave me satisfied but I am craving some pastries right now, if possible made by a hot priest who is not really a priest ... and big shout out to Luna! The Queen!!

This was an ARC read I received from Antonella.

And my first Angel smut-book ... This is the fun of reading ARC ... you get to read books you don't usually pick out because something about them is like "hmm nah" ... since I am not a religious person I was kinda taking a dive into the deep end ... and what a dive! This kind of angel can always come and visit me ... I read it in 2 days and I really really wanted to continue to see how the story ended for Talia - who was going to be her HEA, if there would even be a HEA ... I had all my questions answered and I cannot wait to read another one of Ms Sinner's books (you gotta love the surname too!)

Review: Always second choice

This was an ARC read ...

I don't think 5 stars is enough for this. I mean I don't have triggers or anything but this one? This one got to me. It made me cry, it made me giggle and smile. And it made me think, remember, about how much I recognized myself in Selena. My story wasn't so extreme but man, some parts hit close to the heart. Too close. If you are, or ever have been second choice, third or fourth even ... This one is for you. 

I think this one will stay with me, in my bones for a while .. Thank you Lira for such a beautiful realistic tale ...

"But that wasn't what destroyed me. It was the quiet. The knowing. The familiar ache of watching him walk toward something that wasn't me."

Well reading this book during a heat wave???  I have currently 2 extra fans blowing on me coz it was HOT HOT HOT

Whiskey and J ... it was sweet, sad, hot, a bit of a thriller, hot, funny, did I mention hot? ... I didn't know what to think going in about the ex-reality TV person POV - since I really am not a fan of realiy TV,at all ... But I was pleasantly surprised. And  everything else wow ... yeah I cannot wait for Silo Bay #2 ... did I mention it came with it's own Spotify list to listen to while reading? 

I always loved Fleetwood Mac, so I will listen to them tomorrow ... and I added another series to my TBW list on a certain streamer to get through this heat ... I loved it Oh and it's a bit smuthy at times so read it somewhere cool ;p 

This was a hot ARC read (I'm gonna go take a cold shower now)

This was an ARC read.

I have read a lot of shifter stories, but this one was very original in approach and storyline!
I loved it, it gave me a scandinavian mythology vibe and yet was very different and a cool read!
No predictable stuff and it kept me wanting to read more ...
I really hope this will get a sequel, coz I do have some questions left

If you like shifters, witches and fantasy stuff but are tired of the run of the mill stories I suggest you check this out!
Not for the faint of heart, it is explicit at times, but worth it!
