A thrilling, seductive new series from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, blending Beauty and the Beast with faerie lore.

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

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

A Court of Thorns and Roses has been recommended to me by everybody and their grandmother for years. Truth be told, I’m not much of a fantasy lover so I put it off, but I finally caved when my daughter asked to do a buddy read with me. My reaction is decidedly meh.

Happy New Year! Life took a backseat to book blogging this past year, but while I haven’t been posting as many reviews, I’ve continued to read just as much. Overall, 2024 was a average reading year for me. Out of the 49 books I read, I only rated them an average of 3.7 stars. However, ten books stood out to me as shining stars. In no particular order…

I’ve been in one heck of a book slump, and Fangirl Down yanked me right out of it. Not even two chapters into the audiobook, and I was smiling like a dork. It’s a very spicy rom com about a burned out grumpy golf pro who falls hard for his diehard fan. There’s just something about a bad boy falling first—and falling hard—that’s so enjoyable. I was surprised by how much respect Wells shows the heroine. Josephine is such a gem—independent, fun, kind, and talented.
