Scorched by Darkness [Eternal Mates #18] Book Review

The story of Hartt, and another story to soon go to the story in book 19.

Oh boy, I do like the dark ones. And the elves.

Welcome, dearies! 📖

It is a new day for a book review about Eternal Mates, this time book 18. If you were here when I started with these, you have followed the progress with me.

If you arrived at Avenged by an Angel book 16, you might know that I read 3 of these books in a row. 16, 17, and 18. I was building myself up to this one to be honest. I could have jumped from Unchained by a Forbidden Love to this one, but I decided to follow the order.

I am glad I did, and at the same time a bit disappointed because it was a journey that veered off from what I was expecting.

The thing about these books as that you could read them as stand-alone but at the same time, not, because there are some details let’s say from Kissed by a Dark Prince, Book 1, that you might need for this one book 18. So, I read more of these but at the same time could have skipped some parts.

The Magician’s Nephew [Book Review]

“Awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters.”

Hello, dearies! Welcome to my first ever C.S. Lewis book review. 😮

That’s right I had never read The Chronicles of Narnia or any book by this author. But I decided this year that it was time, it had gone long enough, and frankly, I opened the book and started reading without giving it too much thought.

And that was eye-opening for me. But first let me tell my first impressions of reading The Magician’s Nephew, which was not what I was expecting in many ways.

Seduced by a Demon King [Eternal Mates #17] Book Review

The book that shocked me. 📚

Hello, dearies! 🏝️

Welcome to the blog and a new review in the world of Eternal Mates, this time for Seduced by a Demon King, which is book 17 in the saga.

The saga that I didn’t I would keep on reading for so long, yet, here I am because it seems I am a fan.

Being Seduced by This Demon King surprised me 😄. Why? Because I didn’t think I would like it better than others, but I did.

First things first, though, the general book details.

Title: Seduced by a Demon King

Series: Eternal Mates Book #17

Avenged by an Angel [Eternal Mates #16] Book Review

But when the price of vengeance is the soul of the angel bringing her back to life, will Emelia be willing to pay it?

So much hope… I had so many hopes for it. 😶‍🌫️

Title: Avenged by an Angel

Book Series: Eternal Mates

Author: Felicity Heaton

Genres: Angels (duh). Paranormal. Fantasy. Romance. Fates ones. Demons. Dragons.

Page count: 306 or so pages

Hello, dearies! 🪽

At this point, you might have noticed that I like these books 😆 I cannot seem to stop myself from buying them. Since I picked up the Eternal Mates series again, I have not been able to stop until I get to the bottom of it all. Although, the last one I read seemed to take a small turn, a wee one from what I had read on this one and book #17. Alright I’m getting ahead of myself because I read 3 of these in a row.

I shall focus on Avenged by an Angel, which I had wanted to read since book 7? The one on Taken by a Dragon, I think; like honestly, I knew this one was coming at some point and when I began reading, it all seemed to point in the right direction, and then? To be honest, I stopped reading for a bit, it was kind of predictable, but I still read it and liked it, but was not as: whoa! As I had expected.

Beyond the Wand: Book Review

It was fulfilling towards the end…

Hello, dearies! 🪄

I haven’t done a review like this one before… 📚

Book Title: Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard

Author: Tom Felton

Genres: Actor Biography. Nonfiction. Rich & Famous Biographies. Memoir. Autobiography.

Page count: 288 pages

I didn’t give it 5 stars because he is Tom Felton, but it might have something to do with it, maybe for the last half point to reach 5.

Sunrise on the Reaping: Book Review [The Hunger Games 0.5]

The book about everything that happened in The Hunger Games, and how it started here with Haymitch and was 24 years in the making.

Hello, dearies! 📚

It’s been a while since I read a book so fast, and fresh out of the oven. But here we are.

It was easy reading Sunrise on the Reaping, and going back to the Capitol, Panem, District 12, even when it was not shown all that much, and discovering how they wanted everything to fit and explain The Hunger Games and the plots that unraveled there.

That’s pretty much it. The end. 😅 Just kidding, sort of.

Let me show you what this book was like, considering that we wanted to know what happened to Haymitch Abernathy, and we sure did. 🫠

And yes, there will be spoilers all over this post, like I will assume you want to know or you have finished reading the book, too.

A Beautiful Funeral: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #5)

“When love was real, so was forever.”

I already had a feeling because it had been hinted at in the previous books, but I still was sad when it did happen.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the end of the binge-read! ⭐

I finished reading all books in The Maddox Brothers series, though, it is not the end. This is only the so-far books that are published because it looks like a new one will be published about Trenton, is it confirmed? I don’t know, but it is in on Goodreads, so it might be.

I also skipped over Something Beautiful and went directly to the last one: A Beautiful Funeral because I had to.

Basically, book 4 Beautiful Burn and this one are a mix in my head, but they are very distinctly different, never fear about that.

What I cannot get over is the fact of how much of a giant Travis is, I really need to re-read Beautiful Disaster because I remember the essence of it, but a lot of little details are missing from my memories. I read it a long time ago.

Anyway, I am remembering all of the books because A Beautiful Funeral, it is basically all the books in one without repetition. I mean that all brothers are in here, and their girls. So be prepared for that.

Beautiful Burn: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #4)

“Love made people hate in a way they never would have before.”

Hello, dearies! 🧑‍🚒

Welcome to 2025’s first finished book, but that came from 2024 because I started reading in December.

Beautiful Burn is about the burn, nah, that’s a bad joke. It is about two people who like each other and would walk through fire for their love, in the end, and if there was a fire Tyler would burn for Ellie.

Now, a quick note. The only thing that I agreed with Ellie on this book was that Jim was a former detective and Abby was smart and so they would have to know that what the Maddox Brothers said they did for a living was a lie. 🚒

Beautiful Redemption: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #2)

‘In the second installment of the Maddox Brothers books, experience firsthand the mysterious world of the elusive Thomas Maddox, and how good love can be when you’re not the first, but the last.’

I don’t know.

Don’t ask me what was missing but something was, probably in the last 10% of it. Maybe somewhere in how it ended.

Hello, dearies! 🚨

I finished the second book on The Maddox Brothers book series Beautiful Redemption, which is Thomas Maddox story. And no, that’s not spoilers because it is in the description of the book, unless you don’t all Maddox boys and how their stories would then get ready because everything on this review might be spoiler.

Bull$ts and Bonfires: Book Review

BookTok got me! I couldn’t wait for Bullets and Bonfires to be over—and not because I was hooked, but because I struggled to connect. While the side characters shone, the main duo fell flat for me, with moments that made me cringe or skim. Though there were bits I enjoyed, this read didn’t quite go as I had expected. Lesson learned: not all books with cool videos or photos are a perfect match!

I couldn’t wait for the book to be over. I’m proud because I finished it, but disappointed because I let Booktok trick me into reading it. 🥹

Hello, dearies! 📖

Not all that you read on those descriptions of books on TikTok is accurate, always keep that fresh in your mind as it is true, and it is not the first time that it has happened to me, just that other times I don’t follow through, but this time I really thought: hey, this Bullets and Bonfires might be interesting.

And it was, but not quite what I was expecting of the book.

All of that said, I enjoyed parts and bits of this book, I did not fall for the main characters neither the “hero” nor the “heroine”, there were instances that I cringed, and that has not happened to me in… ever, I think, if it has I blocked it out, some parts I basically skimmed, say a page because I didn’t find it completely relevant or worth it of the story, I know it was, this was when Bree was talking to Teller, and to be honest all the side characters got my attention more than the main two.
