Secret Vampire by L. J. Smith

series Night World #1 number of pages 228 published 1996 by Archway Paperbacks genre ya, vampires, romance rating 💜💜💜 💜 cover 💙💙 I picked up the book one day in the library. It looked nice enough, I desperately needed something good and different, just coming from Bridgerton’s obsession. I expected to like it, but what I didn't expect is a journey down memory lane to the time I got totally obsessed with vampire books.  Poppy lives next door to her best friend and secret love interest, James. One day she gets very sick and her mom takes her to a doctor. They discover that she has cancer and not much time left. It was a big blow to her and her family, she looked healthy and is so young. James believes that he can save her. But will have to reveal his secret doing so. It would open her eyes to a whole new world, the Night World. And she will have to say goodbye to everything she knows.  It’s not the best, as vampire books go, but is very enjoyable and nostalgic to read. :) Goodr

One Spring Break by Sophie Stevens

excerpt Someone knocks on my door, only it’s not really a rapping sound. It’s more like an angry pounding that jolts my nerves. Shouldn’t spring break be relaxing? After spending half my day feeding that damn macaw and cleaning up after him, I’m comfy on my couch and don’t want to move. I deserve some down time, so I ignore the pounding, hoping whoever it is will go away, but they’re incessant and they knock even louder and angrier.       “Come in,” I holler. It’s probably a tenant with a broken toilet. I seem to be having run-ins with crappers today.       The door flings open and hits the doorstop with a loud thud. My back is to the entry, but I instantly feel a tingle along the hairs of my neck, akin to the prickling heat my ex-girlfriend Savannah used to elicit when she gave me half-hooded bedroom eyes. My whole body would hum at her wavelength. I hadn’t realized how much I miss that sensation until just now.       For a moment, I think Savannah has come back to me, but the tinglin

received from NetGalley series Bainbridge House #2 number of pages 288 published November 30th 2021 by Harlequin Special Edition genre romance, contemporary, Christmas rating 💜💜💜 cover 💙💙💙 I adore Christmas romances, the cheesiest the better. This was not it for me. :) Viola is one of 5 siblings who inherited the house after their adoptive father died. The house they didn’t know he had. It’s currently being renovated and planned to be turned into a hotel. After being overpassed for the promotion, she signed up to be the chef at the soon-to-be renovated kitchen. Dom is a caretaker, taking over the hob after his father. He shows her around the place. The more time they spend together, the closer they get. It’s a slow pace romance. I couldn’t get into it, I especially didn’t like the flow or the dialogs. Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie Follow @anie_1027 Anie
