Historia
There are only two rules to the game. Stay alive. And don’t fall in love. When Ophelia’s sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize—a single wish. Phantasma is a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, of demons and temptations. Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. There can only be one winner, and the other contestants will stop at nothing to eliminate their rivals.

Super Sexy
Revisado: 02-09-25
Blackwell may be the sexiest romantic male lead since Rhys in ACOTAR. I enjoyed the story overall, but my one minor critique would be that I wish Ophelia was a bit more like-able. She’s a little hysterical and harsh in a way that has her snapping one minute and swooning the next. It makes the moments she is kind or sincere feel almost confusing; like the author was trying to make her layered by just tacking things on to her. I (as a non OCD haver) did really appreciate the insight into an OCD mind and found that piece of Ophelia very compelling.

Historia
After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty. Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust. Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Historia
A great primal power has risen. The Queen of Flesh and Fire has become the Primal of Blood and Bone—the true Primal of Life and Death. And the battle Casteel, Poppy, and their allies have been fighting has only just begun. Gods are awakening across Iliseeum and the mortal realm, readying for the war to come. But when Poppy falls into stasis, Cas faces the very real possibility that the dire, unexpected consequences of what she is becoming could take her away from him.

Mostly just the 1st book over again
Revisado: 01-22-25
Look I’m happy for everyone who was super excited to hear the first book over again from Cas’s perspective, but honestly it just felt kind of lazy to me. I’m not sure why this counts as a part of the series, it just felt a bit lazy to me. An entire book where the main character of the series is basically asleep the entire time? Why?

Revisado: 01-14-25
I’ve been enjoying this series overall but this book was far from the best installment. There’s a ton of action in the very beginning and a ton of action at the end, but the majority of the book felt like a lot of filler without much actually happening. Tons of sex, so much so that I (an avid romance reader) considered fast forwarding through it. Mainly because it just got really repetitive. Same descriptions of parts and pleasures just kind of shuffled and repeated again and again. I also really didn’t enjoy how bro-y Cass suddenly got in this book. He was a breath away from “that’s what she said” jokes at times. It took a lot away from his appeal in general. In any case I’d say this book is only a necessary listen if you’re really invested in the series. Otherwise, read the cliff notes and skip it.

Super fun and a delight of a story, but the narration was a travesty. Hope they get some better people for future books.

Historia
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Fun and cute, wish P Soo had been the only narrator
Revisado: 09-03-24
I’ve been enjoying listening to Lily Chu’s books as a recent discoverer of her work, and I liked the mystery and rivalry turned romance. In the latter of those two, it felt referential to Emily Henry’s “Beach Read”, maybe my favorite RN of all time. This book didn’t have the depth, character nuance, and passion of “Beach Read”, but it was fun, nonetheless. I like that Ms. Chu takes on her characters’ family lives and other relationships, but I find myself wishing she would flush those out more. I’d be very interested if she ever just decided to write a non-romance focused book about a bi-racial Canadian person dealing with the way society views/treats them while navigating a complex and/or emotionally abusive family relationship.
In “Drop Dead”, I felt unsatisfied with the resolution to Wes’s difficult relationship with his Mom, and I wanted more from Nadine’s management of her overbearing parents.
I also wanted more from the mystery and clue hunt. As a story moving toward the HEA, I wanted part of that for there to be a smoking gun, or for there to be some kind of surprise twist.
I also think John Cho is a fantastic actor, but as a voice actor he felt very monotone. I found myself longing for it all to be done by Phillipa Soo.
Again though, I generally enjoyed it.

Cringe
Revisado: 08-17-24
I’m a big romance genre fan, but I found this one pretty cringy. The narrator is fantastic, but I was more interested in the super predictable murder mystery than the nonsensical romance. Like, I live for a well written sex scene, and the sex writing was fine, but the draw between the characters was so flimsy. It would have been better if it had just gone full bodice ripper over trying to convince me that the romantic interest between these two characters had weight. It was very “tell” not “show” on all fronts and it had me mumbling, “gross.” under my breath and rolling my eyes at all the moments where heat was supposed to be building and wishing they’d just get back to the murder solving. If you want something easy you won’t care too much about on in the background while you’re doing chores or commuting, by all means go for this. If you actually want a good book, don’t.

Each story was its own pocket universe, but the series of connected stories at the end were beautifully laid out, riveting, and devastating.

Historia
Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.

Best yet
Revisado: 08-01-22
I’ve been gobbling up Emily Henry and this is my favorite of the three I’ve “read” so far. I loved the love story for the woman other women like to hate without knowing her, and men are intimidated by without appreciating her. The story felt so genuine, honest, and human. I’m not a rereader generally, but I expect I’ll be reaching for this one again. Also props to Ms. Henry for her continued ability to crank the sexual tension to a fever pitch in the best way.

Historia
It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation in sweet, sunny Cape Cod—just me and my beloved brother—but discovering a corpse in our rental house really throws a wrench into our tanning schedule. Now a rude, crude bounty hunter has arrived on the back of his motorcycle to catch the killer and refuses to believe I can be helpful, despite countless hours of true crime podcast listening. Not to mention a fulfilling teaching career of wrangling second graders.

Fun and sexy but weird narrator choice
Revisado: 07-20-22
I really enjoy this listen and it is some spectacularly smoldering sex scenes, but the guy narrator did take me out of it a bit. There is no way that is the voice of a 34 year old man. He sounded more like someone’s 50yo Dad who smokes cigars, not a sexy, youngish bounty hunter. I think it was even more off putting because the female narrator was perfect, they should have just had her do the whole thing. He’s a good narrator, just not for this.
