Wicked Little Things: Cozy Yet Spooky

Image
This book did things to me! It was everything I wanted and so much for this spooky season. It was surprisingly cozy in many parts as well as tense enough to make me want to keep reading and not stop. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who wants astounding LGBTQ+ representation and some spooky fun along the way! My overall rating for this book is 4.5/5.

The Deal: A Banter-filled Hockey Lovefest

Image
This was surprisingly better than I anticipated. Garrett came off as a controlling jerk and a stalker but it was obvious after page 80ish that he was being protective of Hannah. The fact that the MC's name is the same as mine makes this feel like one of the the best y/n's to be printed and published (unlike Wattpad and AO3 y/n's). The banter and characters made this all the better and the addressing of rape and abusive relationships was superb. My overall rating for this is 4.25/5.

To Shape A Dragon's Breath: A DreamWorks Production

I mean....it was aiiight. This book was good, but it didn't do much else than other books in the same genre. The characters were a bit of a stain between the actual story which wasn't the entire focus. It was indeed enjoyable but I'm going through a bit of a reading slump and pushed myself to finish this (as always) and didn't regret reading it. I recommend reading it but it's nothing outstanding. It's enough to entertain and keep you busy though. My overall rating is a 3.5/5.

Belladonna: A Poisonous Life

Image
This book was good but not great. I can see a majority of people liking this book (which I did). But a lot of it dragged along and the plot line was weak and didn't entirely drive the story. I loved the scenes with Death and wish there were more. I think what mostly stalled this book was Signa "figuring out society". It just made the plot drag and feel like this book was comprised of 70% filler episodes. Overall my rating for this book is 2.5/5.  Extended Breakdown:  Characters: 2/5 Story: 2/5 Pace: 2/5 @wvbookwitch TikTok/Blog: https://linktr.ee/wvbookwitch

House of Hollow: Stranger Things

Image
Disappointed a little bit with how obvious everything was and how repetitive it all was. I enjoyed the prose and the oddness of it all. The first 100 pages made it seem like this was definitely my type of book. But after that it went downhill. I really wish it was more explained, in depth, and detailed background so that it would be more cohesive. Overall my rating for this book is 2/5.

The Kiss Curse: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Image
For big fans of Gwyn and mainly the characters which drive this series, by all means pick it up. The writing is a bit choppy although charming. I enjoyed it while I read it but it didn't really offer anything new that The Ex Hex hadn't already. Alot of the plot felt recycled from the first book and I had to drag through it to keep going. Overall my rating is a 2.5/5. Extended Breakdown: Characters: 3/5 Story: 1/5 Pace: 2/5 TikTok: @wvbookwitch Blog: http://wvbookwitch.blogspot.com/

A Lesson In Vengeance: Who Murdered Who?

Image
We have a beautiful, dreamy, sapphic, and bewitching novel here. Concerning the mixed reviews I was nervous to start it but I respect others opinions on books and I try not to look at them but was excited for this one. This book actually exceeded my expectations by far with the lovers to enemies, murder, and the twists which I didn't see coming. The main character was relatable to me as someone who believes in magic and struggles with PTSD/anxiety. This for me was a 4.5/5. Definitely worth your time to read and a good spooky book for September - November.
