That Sik Luv by Jescie Hall
3.0
This book was okay for me. the overall story could have been compelling if there weren’t info dumps, obvious insinuations early. It made the rest of the plot a little predictable.
I always get annoyed when these types of stories center around an 18 year old and the timeframe within the book SUCH a short span of time.
It’s definitely dark and the sex scenes weren’t incredibly repetitive but there were some repeated phrases throughout the book that annoyed me. And I cannot stand the phrase “ropes of c*m”. Immediately loses brownie points.
SPOILERS AHEAD - so beware reading further
Opening the story with a known stalker, parents out on mission work and big brother out didn’t make sense.
Some of the opening scenes with the stalker interactions were too similar to Haunting Adeline. The roses, the gun play, the chase through the house, the evening wear event. I feel like HA set a precedent and other stalker books need to work hard to be original and not repeat plot elements.
No, Aero is not Zade. He was a good character but as others have pointed out, the scene with the stripper showed a crack in his obsession but I think the rest of the book was able to make up for it.
Being 18, this girl had a huge set of events take place in only a week…. Maybe 2 weeks. Became some important church position, survived an explosion while being drown, attended a masquerade ball, witnessed molestation and a murder, lost her V card, trained to be an assassin, moved in with her stalker and took down dirty politicians while being a grade-a stripper.
Damn, I’m exhausted.
Typical stalker want it immediately get her pregnant. Is always annoying when this comment comes out bc I feel like it’s frequent but at least he didn’t and allowed her to stay on birth control. I suppose the breeding link goes hand-in-hand with a stalker story I suppose? Still it’s over done.
The epilogue seemed to go on forever. Like, we’ve finished the story and the epilogue seemed to be another 2 chapters. The only part that made sense was the very end of her dominating him but I feel the rest was waste.
All in all it was an entertaining read but it didn’t dazzle me.

The Sun, The Storm, & The Shadows by Mikayla D. Hornedo
4.0
I was given a copy of this book as an Advance Reader Copy and it was a really great story and well written.
I love the positive dynamic of the sisters relationship with each other and their support of one another. Mirroring this in the dynamic of the two fae brothers was also great and seeing how those bonds strengthened through the story.
This book is dual POV and at times I lost track of who o was observing the story through. I would have liked to see more unique tone and personality with each POV to make it more clear but it didn’t detract from the overall story.
Really well done and very enjoyable read. Definitely recommend.

This was such a fun book to read! I enjoy the humor and sarcasm in the characters personalities. The assassins are sexy and deadly with lots of action and list through the story. Will definitely pick up the next Zodiac Assassins book next!
The Keeper by P.S. Whytock
4.0
I really enjoyed this debut novel and definitely recommend it.
Summary:
Annabelle is turning 21 and in the days leading up to her birthday she struggles with her grasp on reality as her dreams seem to be invading her nights as well as her daytime.
After a fated encounter at a masquerade ball, Annabelle confronts her mother for the truth of her dreams.
Learning she was the chosen Keeper of the forest, Annabelle must leave the safety of her childhood home and set out on a path to discover the enchantments of the Fae and explore the part of her that is immortal as darkness closes over the forest, Annabelle has to make a choice to fight for the magic of the forest or hold on to the last shreds of her mortality.
Review:
This writer has a lovely writing style and eloquent and descriptions phrasing that really conjures the imagery of her story, setting and characters. The beginning of the book was a little redundant but once Annabelle and her mother set out for the forest, the dynamics of the story really took shape.
I’m excited to see the story continue with book 2!
