A Court of Thorns and Roses / ACOTAR #1

Blurb
 When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.

At least, he’s not a beast all the time.

As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

My Review
 An Ode to the Ultimate Comfort Read!
ACOTAR holds a special place in my heart, like a worn-out but oh-so-comfortable sweater. I've revisited this series more times than I can count, and it played a massive role in turning me into the book-devouring creature I am today. Now, enter the Graphic Audio version, and my cozy reading nook just got a major upgrade!
The magic of voice acting mixed with atmospheric background noises creates a world that I can happily get lost in over and over again. It doesn't matter if I'm reading the words or letting them wash over me through my headphones; the story grabs me like it's the very first time.
With each revisit, I'm still hooked by the cruelty, the mind-bending twists, and the deep emotions that ensnare me every single time. ACOTAR is a master at making me laugh, cry, bawl, and smirk at those clever hints and tidbits that I know will unleash a tidal wave of impact later on.
It's a triple shot of love – love for the story, love for the characters, and love for the pure magic that happens when you combine great writing with phenomenal narration. And here's the kicker – it's not even my favorite book of the series! Talk about a testament  to the sheer brilliance of Sarah J. Maas. 
ACOTAR, you're the gift that keeps  on giving, and I'm here  for it every  single  time!

A Court of Silver Flames / ACOTAR #5

My Review  Oh, where to start with ACOFAS? I have to say, this book was the weakest for me in the ACOTAR universe. While I still enjoyed most of it, some parts were just too... MEH. I absolutely loved the snowball fight, the Solstice decorating, and picking on Amren, but I could have done without Feyre's paintings, gossiping and shopping with Mor or all together Mor's POV (I’m still convinced she’ll go dark or do something dodgy in the future). Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed almost every second of this, and it was really nice to spend some time with all those characters again. BUT (yes, it’s a big but) there were a lot of things that didn’t sit well with me. Let’s start with the MC’s. I love Feyre and Rhys, I really do, but I think from ACOWAR onward, their character development kind of went sideways. Feyre’s and Rhys’s holier-than-thou attitude is beginning to get on my nerves. Don't get me wrong, I still think Rhys is a demigod and love his sass and cheeky side, but ...

Powerless / Powerless Trilogy #1

My Review "Powerless" is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon in a bookstore and couldn't resist picking up. Little did I know that it would become my latest obsession, keeping me glued to its pages until the wee hours of the morning. I was trapped in a whirlwind of banter-filled romantasy and flew through the pages. Both of the main characters had me in a chokehold. Their sass, sarcasm, and sizzling chemistry are top-notch; their slow pace deserves a trophy of its own. Yes, this book was filled with romantasy tropes to the brim, but it didn’t ruin my reading experience as the author cleverly wove them into the story without it feeling like she was shoving them down your throat. Now, the story is set in a world divided between the powerful Elites and the Ordinaries. The Elites, who have special abilities ranging from minor skills to more supreme powers, and of course, the ones born without powers, the Ordinaries. In this kingdom, Ordinaries are inferior to Elites, and on ...

The Ballad of Never After / OUABH #2

My Review  From the moment Jacks betrays Evangeline, she found herself questioning if she could ever trust him again. This sense of betrayal lingers as Evangeline discovers her own magic, hoping to reclaim the happily ever after that Jacks snatched away. But just as things seem to be looking up, a new, terrifying curse emerges, and Evangeline is forced into an uneasy partnership with the Prince of Hearts once more. This time, the stakes are higher, the rules have changed, and Jacks might be the only ally she has in a world full of new threats. The narrative is gripping from the get-go, with a murderous spell replacing the usual love spells, thrusting Evangeline and Jacks into a world of peril where old friends become foes and magic manipulates minds and hearts. Evangeline, who once trusted her heart above all else, now faces uncertainty at every turn. I'll be honest: at the start, I was worried. I feared the series was losing its magic, falling into the dreaded trap of lost potenti...
