  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market: Son of the Dawn

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: Son of the Dawn

    World: Shadowhunters

    Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Story: Son of the Dawn

    Author: Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan

    Genres: Fantasy, YA, Short Stories, Paranormal, Urban Fantasy

    I thought I had posted about this one before, but it seems I didn’t.

    Hello, dearies! I hope you’re enjoying the quick reviews about the Shadowhunters world. 📖

    And this is all from memory, I haven’t read this book again in a while, and it’s past time that I do because there will be another one in stores soon, and I am yet to read Chain of Iron, but I am a little afraid to do so, just like I am of finishing The Brightest Night, I want to, but then it will be all over, so I have been postponing it.

    Now, for the Ghosts of the Shadow Market, which I think is on my top 5 of books that I love in the Shadow World, it was all Jem on these short stories, and you can check out my other reviews on my Shadow World section. 💘

  • The Bane Chronicles: The Rise of the Hotel Dumort

    The Bane Chronicles: The Rise of the Hotel Dumort

    The Bane Chronicles Book #5

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson

    Genre: Fantasy, YA, Short Stories, Paranormal, Vampires.

    Hello, dearies! 🦇

    With this one, The Rise of the Hotel Dumort, we jumped ahead in time to 1929, and not only that but New York, meaning the place where The Mortal Instruments will be lively, in the future; but we are still years away from that, and we experience the Hotel Dumort and what happened to it and their vampires. 🧛

    This is a tale we wanted to know about from the TMI series, where we read about the Hotel and the past, and Magnus, so we go there and check out the events. I know I’m not saying that much, but this story is worth reading for the first time with an unbias look, so I’ll leave it to Magnus to tell you the story.

  • The Promise of Rain

    The Promise of Rain

    Author: Shana Abe

    Genre: Historical Romance, Enemy-to-Lover, Medieval Romance, Adult (sort of)

    Happy Weekend, dearies! I hope you’re enjoying a great one.

    Today I finished The Promise of Rain, and said, wow, the difference between reading an enjoyable book and when I don’t. Why? Because I read this one so fast, I couldn’t get enough of it, I had to finish it and know all their secrets. Unlike when I read The King’s Obsession, which I started last year and finished not long ago.

  • Anne Boleyn: A King’s Obsession

    Anne Boleyn: A King’s Obsession

    Author: Alison Weir

    Genre: Historial Fiction, Tudor Period, Adult, Romance (so-so)

    3 ⭐+ 1

    Happy Weekend, dearies!

    I hope I will make this clear and not ramble on too much. My feelings about Anne Boleyn: A King’s Obsession are mixed, and I mean that for real. I had the highest of hopes for this book, and it did not turn out as I expected it to be.

    Let’s begin. 📜

    Spoilers ahead if you don’t know the story behind Anne Boleyn or The Tudor Family.

  • The Bane Chronicles: Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale

    The Bane Chronicles: Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale

    The Banes Chronicles Book 3

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan

    Genre: YA, fantasy, Short Story, Paranormal

    Here we are once again, dearies! I trust all is going well on your end, and you’re enjoying these tidbits on The Bane Chronicles, or perhaps my other reviews, they’re all on the main page, as you might know.

    Now, we’re on the 3rd story in The Bane Chronicles, the one where we see vampires and Herondales, and scones too. I will always enjoy a good Herondale story, but this one was set in 1857 when even Charlotte Fairchild was a young girl, and that just makes you think how old Magnus really is, but no matter, we already knew that.

  • Voyeur Series

    Voyeur Series

    Author: Fiona Cole

    Genre: Adult fiction. Romance. New Adult.

    Where to start? I suppose from how I got here? Oh well, I first read the description for the sixth book in the series, Teacher, and was intrigued as hell, then I saw it was a whole series, and of course, I couldn’t read the last one first, so it began my journey.

    The Voyeur Series has 6 books and a short story that you can read for free here.

  • The Bane Chronicles: The Runaway Queen

    The Bane Chronicles: The Runaway Queen

    The Bane Chronicles Book 2

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson

    Genres: Fantasy. YA.

    It’s not easy writing about what you have read years ago, but I do my best here. The Runaway Queen is the second story in The Bane Chronicles, the compilation about Magnus Bane life before and some after he met Alec, and from the time we read about Magnus in The Mortal Instruments, we wanted to know this kind of story since he is quite old and had many things to tells us throughout the books.

  • Beautiful Disaster: About the Book

    Beautiful Disaster: About the Book

    Author: Jamie McGuire

    Genre: Romance, New Adult, Contemporary, Fiction, YA

    Page Count: 432 pages

    Year Published: May 26, 2011

    Main Characters: Travis Maddox. Abby Abernathy.

    I cannot believe I don’t have a book review for Beautiful Disaster. And honestly, all that I remember is that I loved it at the time, despite being kind of a regular one, a romance, yes, but no fantasy in there. Yet, it hooked me for a time. 💞

    Now, there is a movie in the making, and for some reason, I am excited about it. I am not feeling the actors that much, but I want to watch. Filming ends this week, and Jamie has been giving us regular news on it, and it’s making me want to read the book again. There are two sides of Beautiful Disaster, from Abby’s point of view and from Travis’, and the one from Travis freaking Maddox was too much excitement. I mean, he is on my list of favourite male characters in books, so there, I admit that bad boys do hold their appeal.

  • About The Tales of Beedle the Bard

    About The Tales of Beedle the Bard

    Hello, dearies! How’s December so far? 

    Mine is cold. ⛄

    I’ll jump right in because this one is going to be short, have you ever read The Tales of Beedle the Bard? 

    They’re not a necessity within the wizarding world, and you can read the whole Harry Potter saga without them, but it’s nice to know those side stories that Ron told us about in book 7, spoiler? If you read and watched the movies, you know when they are mentioned. 

    It was nice reading these, they are short stories, and they make you go a little deeper into the magical world that we wish we were part of, though, of course, the main story that you want to read there is the Tale of the Three Brothers since on The Deathly Hallows you will want to know what three things you need to master death.

  • Interview with the Vampire

    Interview with the Vampire

    Author: Anne Rice 

    Genre: Gothic, Horror, Vampire 🧛

    This one is not going to be easy. 

    Hello, dearies! I barely remember the details but the general idea instead since it was such a long time ago that I read Interview with the Vampire, what I do remember is thinking how darkly different it was from the movie. 

    Of course, I had watched the movie before reading the book, but when I read this book, it was a real eye-opener for my young mind.
