The Rebel Witch by Kristen Ciccarrelli: YA Fantasy Romance at it’s Best
🦋🩸 Rebel Witch🩸🦋 -Kristen Ciccarelli @kristenciccarelli ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This sequel was of my most anticipated reads of the year, after really enjoying The Crimson Moth last year. We pick up a few months after where the Crimson Moth left off. Rune Winters is on the run and Gideon Sharp has been tasked with hunting her down. But when each of their sides are driven to extremes, Rune and Gideon must pair up to stop a Reign of Witches or the Republic’s domination. I really enjoyed Rune’s character arc this book – she was very badass and seemingly unflinching in the Crimson…

Boy Parts by Eliza Clark: A Darkly Funny and Sickening LitFic
📷🎞️ Boy Parts 🎞️📷 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She’s in her literary fiction era! In this (quite frankly unhinged) debut from Eliza Clark, we follow Irina, a photographer who obsessively takes explicit photos of men on the streets of Newcastle. Meandering, plotless and self-destructive, we see Irina in her rut of drug and alcohol usage. Irina was such a fascinating character. Her humour was sharp as a knife’s edge. She is intensely unlikeable, narcissistic and impulsive. All her relationships in the book are toxic and unhealthy, from men to her best friend. Through Irina, Clark explores ‘pretty privilege’ – how Irina, an attractive…

The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley: Is 2025 The Year of Dramione Fanfiction?
💕🧪The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy 🧪💕 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a from a well-known Dramione fanfic writer, and this story evolved from one of those. Osric Mordaunt is a member of the Fyren Order of assasins. When he develops a serious illness, he has no choice but to turn to an enemy Order, healing. There ensues a lot of bribery, blackmail and other illicit activities in order to recruit the help of healer Aurienne Fairhaim – much to her own contempt and disdain. Aurienne read as quite one-dimensional to me. Aside from being uptight, neat and an unapproachable…

Everything I Read for Women’s History Month
March was Women’s History Month, with International Women’s Day on the 8th March. I love this time of year, seeing every amazing woman celebrated. Not only do we look back at history and commemorate women’s fight for equality, but we look forward to the future and give focus to the issues that still cloud our society. It shines a light on the daily fight women are still struggling with – from gender quality to reproductive rights to an end to violence against women. It’s so important to recognise these issues, so I made it my mission to challenge myself to…
