Archenemy is the story of Myla's father, Xavier. Set in the past, it explores how the archangel became who he is today. There is a mixture of Egyptian mythology with the angels.  A fast-paced story, full of twists of turns, but I had the hardest time getting into it. rating❤❤❤ cover❤❤ book info genre ya, fantasy, angels, demons, magic published March 9, 2023 number of pages 206 Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie got the arc on NetGalley, all thoughts are my own

Savage best is a retelling of a Medea myth, set in 18th-century India.  Meena, forgotten and trapped by her position falls for the nephew of the enemy. They escape together in search of a new life, but their escape came with a price and past trouble catches up with her.

Blake Montgomery is an uptight scientist in real life, but every now and then, when she goes on a trip, to a place where she knows no one, she lets loose. She shops around has one-night stands and just has fun, away from the pressure of a family, and reputation and far from the rumours she is so afraid of. When her plane is delayed she meets Wyatt. He is interesting and hot and grabs her attention right away. He seems perfect to spend time with before they both go to their real lives. Wyatt spends many years as a spy. When he is suddenly a normal person again, he has a hard time switching back. He is going to a little town, to the home his late aunt left him. Blake is taken aback when she sees him there. And even though she is beyond uptight about it, the chemistry between them becomes too much. It could be such a cute love story, with a whole lot of chemistry and a side of danger, but Blake kind of ruined that. She is more concerned with her reputation than anything else and colder th

It's a slow-paced story. Different elements of the storyline and points of view are slowly developed and set up, and then it all comes together, perfectly in the last part of the story.  The writing is unique, I haven't read any other books that use the same writing style. It's slow, descriptive, more focuses, and somewhat aloof, but fits perfectly with the story told. The best part about the book (and the series) is the magical system created. There are four Londons, parallel to each other, existing in the same place but not reachable to anyone, but Antari.

Selena and Trent are very popular radio show hosts. One day they share their worst Valentine's s day stories and it snowball. The shows gain viewers and they find themself planning a Valentine'd day gala for all of the single people.  There is mad chemistry between them and with days passing their attraction grows into something more. They are both very hesitant to take the next step, in fear of ruined reputations and careers. I really liked the storyline, but trouble liking Selene and Trent. Some of their actions were off and the last half of the book was way too dragged out. rating❤❤❤ cover❤❤ book info genre contemporary, romance, adult published January 5, 2023 number of pages 281 Goodreads || Amazon
