 This was the first book I read by this author, but I do have several of her books on my TBR some of which I own in eBook format. This is the first book in a new series, and it was a short quick read coming in at less than 100 pages. This was a fun quick read with some steam and cuteness thrown in. My biggest complaint is that it desperately needed another round or two of editing. I don't expect a book to be without some flaws but when the mistakes are happening so often and taking you out of the story and therefore messing with your enjoyment of the book, I have to mention it. Overall, I thought this was an ok book. While it wasn't a favorite, I will give this author another go. 

 I saw someone talking about this book not that long ago but now I can't remember who it was. I looked up the book and thought it sounded like something I would enjoy plus I've been trying to read more horror this year and thought this would be perfect. By the time I picked this book up to read I had completely forgotten that it was YA. I actually don't mind YA books, but this one bugged me a little bit. Before we go any further this is probably going to be a little bit spoilery so if you are interested in reading this then I suggest skipping the rest of this review. I buddy read this one with Destiny although she did end up DNFing it early on and I can't blame her because I considered DNFing it several times myself. My first thought while reading this was that it was taking way too long to get to the murder. I was about 45% into before anything started happening. My biggest complaint was the use of drugs. I get that they are teenagers (16-17) and they are going to do stuff like this and experiment but when it comes to books about murder, I don't want to read about drug induced paranoia. I want the real thing. Some of the girls were higher than others so luckily, I didn't have to read through everyone's paranoia, but I did have to read a few, and I hated that. I had an idea who the killer was, and I ended up being correct. I will say the author didn't hold back on the gruesome details which I liked. As for the reasoning for the murder spree it was so freaking ridiculous. Oh, you got canceled on social media and don't know what your future holds after high school, so you are going to kill all your friends because they know what they are going to be doing, please. If this book didn't include the drugs and had a better reasoning for the murders, I could have enjoyed it more. I also have to give the author props for continuously getting me to keep reading. Every time I would be considering DNFing it I would read something that made me want to keep reading. After finishing this and reading the synopsis for the next book I don't think I will be continuing with the next book. 

 I read this with the #KeeperofKing group on Instagram this month. I started out physically reading it and I was struggling with it. I was seriously considering DNFing it just a few chapters in, but I was finally able to get the audiobook of it and that helped me a lot. This one ended up just being ok for me. There were so many characters, and I struggled to keep up with who was who especially since it switched between the different characters with each chapter. I wanted to love this one more than I did. If y'all have been following me for a while, then you know I love vampire books so this sounded like something I would love. When it's a fight between humans and vampires I want the humans to at least have a fighting chance but with these vampires the humans literally had no chance. I didn't like McCammon's take on vampires unfortunately and the ending was a big letdown for me. 

 This is the 3rd book in the Monsters of Alberad series and the best one so far in my opinion. First off what an opening line. That one will stick with me for a while for sure. I love how we did get a little recap on what happened in the first book, but it was short and sweet and to the point. I loved the banter between Natalie, Jaspers and Cole. I pretty much had a permanent smile on my face while reading this. I also got giddy at times reading it. I loved how all 3 of the main characters were confident in the sexuality and knew what they wanted and wasn't afraid to talk about it with each other. If you didn't know this is a why choose MMF romance. It's very steamy which I of course love. This was almost a full 5 star read for me but in the last half I lost that giddy feeling I had while reading the first half. I can't wait for the next book in the series. 

This is just a DNF for now. I plan to come back to it in the new year. 

 This Manga was brought to my attention by someone in a discord group that I am a part of. Being a double amputee myself I'm always looking for books with this rep, so I immediately put a hold on it at my library and I'm so glad I did because I really enjoyed it. I can't speak on the running with prosthesis rep because I'm not familiar with that, but I can speak on other things that have to do with prosthesis. There were several times while reading this where I was like yes that so accurate like for instance when it talks about trying to get around in crowds while wearing prothesis. It's not easy which is why when I was in school, I was always allowed to leave class 5 minutes early so I could get to my locker and my other class before the bell rings, and everybody was swarming the hole. It was even harder for me because I also had to use crutches so those could easily be kicked out from under me. Anyways that's just one example of where I felt seen for the first time while reading a book. The only thing that I felt weird about was how the prosthetist and the main character meet and start working together. That felt a little sketchy to me but maybe things are done differently in Japan. I've already put a hold on the 2nd vol. and I'm really looking forward to continuing on in the series. 

 I can't really say a whole lot about this one because it's a short story. When I say short, I mean short. It comes in at only 29 pages. This was offered as an Amazon First Reads extra one month and I ended up picking it because I was familiar with the author, and I was intrigued by the synopsis. Short stories have always been hit or miss for me mainly because I'm always left feeling like I didn't get a full story. I went into this one with low expectations so imagine my surprise when I loved this one. My only complaint is that I wanted more but not in a bad way. I would totally read a full novel of this, and I really wish there was one. 

 This was Octobers pick for the Lost in Romance book club that I cohost with a friend. This book has been on my radar for a while now and I am so glad I finally read it because I absolutely loved it. I loved that we got a cinnamon roll demon who was still very monstrous just not to our FMC. I loved that he was pretty much completely clueless when it came to humans because it made for some laugh out loud moments. This book was just so fun to read, and I can't wait to continue on in the series hopefully sooner rather than later. 

 I saw someone mention this book recently and it made me want to read it. This book is on Kindle Unlimited and it's a short book coming in at only 99 pages. There's not a whole lot to say about this book except that I had a great time reading it. It's a very quick read but I do have to say you kind of have to suspend your disbelief with this one. If you can do that than I highly recommend reading it, it was a fun time. 

 When it comes to Stephen King my ratings are all over the place. I've absolutely loved some of his books I've disliked some of his books and some of his books are just ok to me. This is one of those books where I thought it was ok. This is a collection of 22 short stories. Some were hits and some were misses. There were only 6 stories that I gave higher than 3 stars. I say this every time a review a collection of short stories but most of the time I feel like we weren't given enough and that was the case for a good bit of these stories. There were also some that once I finished them, I was just like what the heck was the point in that? Overall while there were definitely some standout stories this was just an ok collection for me.
