 A Touch of Darkness Series by Scarlett St. Clair      

Romance, Fantasy 

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ✨ 


I finished this whole trilogy in three days because it was such an amazing, action-packed, and romance-driven story that I could not put it down! To be honest these books had been sitting on my bookshelf for a couple months because I was not sure if they were going to be that great…but they were so good. I do have to say that the third book was kind of repetitive before it got to the final last two chapters that included more action. So because of this I would give the series an overall 4.5 stars out of 5! 


I absolutely loved how the third book ended with Persephone and Hades' marriage, because I was desperately waiting for them to get permission from the fates to get married before it was too late. Some stupid fights occurred between Hades and Persephone, mainly because of Persephone’s misinterpretation. I think both of them proved themselves worthy of each other on multiple occasions, so now that their love is out in the open and proclaimed, the gods can start focusing on the impending war that is going to occur in the fourth book of this series. Dun dun dun. I don’t think I have it in me to have to wait till December until the fourth book, A Touch of Chaos comes out.

  Some friendships were questionable, because later on in the book those friends most likely turned on each other without the other friend knowing…I do have to say that Hermes is literally the funniest character I have ever met! He was so outrageous and hilarious even in times when it was awkward. 


I also really loved the inclusion and detail of all the gods and goddess powers, especially Persephone discovering her power in the Underworld. The Underworld was in my opinion, beautifully written about in this series, because it had its “evil” sides but it was quite calming to read about its hidden beauties. Overall this series was lush, battle driven, and full of god-like beauty. I would definitely recommend this series to people who liked the A Court of Roses series by Sarah J. Maas, or a Shadow Between Us by Tricia Levenseller!

Long Live The Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw

Long Live The Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw  YA, fiction I had seen this book before somewhere, but I was very excited when I unwrapped this gift for Christmas! If I haven’t mentioned before, The Nightmare Before Christmas created by Tim Burton, is probably one of my favorite movies of all time, so you can assume that I was interested to see the epilogue from Sally’s perspective. This book was definitely lower than my reading level with its size fourteen font and respective main ideas, but it still pulled me in like the original story line. the details of Halloween Town and the dark, twisted woods built around these main characters were beautifully but darkly described. When it came to romance, it was absolutely adorable! Jack and Sally Skellington are just the cutest and I am glad that even just their little bit of romance gets to exist in this creepy world of Tim Burton and Shea Ernshaw. Sally has to face many difficulties throughout story entirely by herself, while trying to stay tr

Happy Place by Emily Henry

  Happy Place by Emily Henry   Romance I may have only read seven books this year so far, but I can confidently say that I am glad that Happy Place was one of those seven. Not only was this one of my favorite books I have read in a while, but it was also the most perfect refreshing book of the summer.  Emily Henry uses a common thread throughout her stories. Those threads are connected by time, time jumps, memories, etc. This story takes place between the now and the past of the protagonist, Harriet’s, summers in Knott’s Harbor, Maine. She and her five other friends travel back to Maine for a long-awaited reunion, but not all is right. Harriet, aka Harry, has recently split up with her ex-fiance, Wynn, and they haven’t told their friends yet. This story is heart-wrenching and heartwarming as it navigates the truth about change through growth, and how some secrets are better left unsaid. And the summer vibes are all there. From those sea breeze winds to small-town shopping routes, this
