A Court of Mist and Fury ( ACOTAR 2)
By Sarah J. Maas
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court - but at a steep cost. Though she now possesses the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.
Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, the mesmerising High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates his dark web of political games and tantalising promises, a greater evil looms - and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can step into her growing power, heal her fractured soul and have the courage to shape her own future - and the future of a world cloven in two.
First words after closing this book was wtf! So many emotions I honestly loved every word! Tamlin did my head in from start to finish! I want to have Rhys babies. And Feyre has finally broken down my walls. I didn’t cry once I promise 😂 the last 10 chapters completely broke me. Sarah J. Maas how do you do it?

Merissa (14182 KP) rated Omega Secret (The Omega Misfits #8) in Books
Jun 18, 2025
OMEGA SECRET is the eighth book in The Omega Misfits series. You don't have to have read them all to enjoy this one.
Cambry and Angell are both omegas at Zilly's. They are in a secret relationship as omegas aren't allowed to love each other due to the possibility of becoming pregnant with a sylph. Niro is an Alpha who can control his Burn, making him the ideal Alpha for first-time omegas, which is why he is partnered with Cambry.
This is a fast-paced story with low angst and plenty of emotions. I loved how it was Angell who had no doubts, and it made perfect sense that it was Cambry who did, especially with how Niro shut the bond down between them during their first time together. Angell really is the sneaky one, and that was perfect.
A great read that I enjoyed and definitely recommend.

I received this book from NetGalley in return for a fair and honest review.
This is Frey's story - we've had Andreas and Varg's and now it's time for the 'quiet' twin. I have been enjoying this series. It's light but still manages to convey emotions and connections. I have been intrigued by Frey's story with the snippets we have already heard so I was looking forward to reading it. Unfortunately for me, this one seemed to fall a bit flat. I don't know if it's because of the short length, although this didn't seem to be a problem with the other books, or what. For me, the bare bones of the story was there but the meat was missing. It felt like the story was just skimmed over, rather than allowing the reader a bit more of an explanation and chance to digest.
I still liked the story and feel that Frey and Jørgen make a brilliant pair but I also feel a bit sorry that their story wasn't as good as I thought and hoped it would be.

This is one of those books that hits you and stays with you for a long time and although it is a work of fiction, the author has clearly done her research and there is a lot of this book that is based on fact.
As you can imagine, this is a hard book to read; it's a story filled with despair, death and unimaginable suffering but it's also a story filled with hope, the power of friendship and love.
Ana and Ester are the two main characters and oh what characters they are; strong and with a will to continue to do good whilst all around them descends into chaos and madness.
This book had my emotions in a constant state of flux; angry, sad, tearful, horrified but also hopeful and in awe and wonder of the people who went through such despicable crimes but continued to keep their humanity unlike the Nazis!
Like I said, this is a difficult read but, I think, an essential one and I must thank Bookouture and NetGalley for enabling me to read it and share my thoughts.

Merissa (14182 KP) rated Bjerner and the Beast (Fairytales of the Myth #3) in Books
Feb 8, 2021 (Updated Aug 7, 2023)
BJERNER AND THE BEAST is the third novella in the Fairytales of the Myth series, which takes fairytales back to the dark days of the Brothers Grimm. The Disney versions, this series is not!
For me, this book took the series back up a notch. I loved the story of Bjerner and Ophidia, even though it broke my heart so many times. Such a bittersweet ending for Bjerner and Ophidia, but tragic what happens after that. I also got to find out what happened to Thalliya!
Miranda Grant certainly knows how to write a story that involves all of your emotions. The pacing is good in this one too, not going too fast to get lost, but with plenty of action keeping your attention.
This one is the best of the series so far, in my opinion. Definitely recommended for all fans of dark fairytales!

Merissa (14182 KP) rated Forgiven (Forgiven #1) in Books
Jan 26, 2021 (Updated Aug 7, 2023)
FORGIVEN is the first book in the Forgiven series, and we meet Luke and Mia. These two had an on-again/off-again relationship when they were younger until Luke left to join the Navy. Mia was upset and didn't forgive him... ever! She eventually left the village and moved to France. Now, she is back home for reasons explained and finds out Luke is also back in the village.
I have to say, this is not one of the best books by Garrett Leigh I have read. Although I enjoyed the storyline, especially the side story of who the stalker was, the relationship between Luke and Mia seemed just as messed up now they're adults as it was when they were teenagers. I know emotions are messy, but surely just one civil conversation wouldn't hurt?
Anyway, moving on. The story is well-written, and the pacing is smooth. I look forward to the next book in the series.

independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
This is the second book in the a series of falling starts set and I thoroughly enjoyed this one as much as the first. I'm also glad it's not over yet as I'm not ready to say goodbye to any of the characters yet.
There are so many emotions and different feelings that are dealt with in this story the confusion that some of the members of the band deal with regarding themselves, sexuality, feelings certainties and hopes. It's a brilliant story to read that centres about relationships, different sexualities and also finding yourself and trying to understand your own self and worth. It sheds a whole different light on what seems to be a simple routine of a world famous K-pop band there is a lot more too it.
You are doing a fantastic job, M.L. East, at bringing very sensitive subjects to light in a calm and understanding manner with just enough humour in there just to make it not so heavy. Keep up the fantastic work well done.
5/5 stars a definite recommendation, please read the series!
