Creepy, fast-paced psychological horror that traps you inside Iðunn‘s unraveling mind as she sleepwalks into darker and darker territory. The fragmented page layout amps the tension, and the blend of trauma, possible supernatural forces, and visceral imagery makes it hard to look away. Graphic harm to cats. Disturbing, compelling, and unforgettable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A sad but cosy bookish adventure.

I tend to dive blindly into any Christmas theme books this time of year (especially if they are free), and thus get a lot of misses.
But ever once in a while I stumbled onto something that just speaks to my heart, exactly like this little book did.

A novella I might re-read this time every year. An excellent reminder that unchecked power and injustice targets the most vulnerable in society, and only a few quiet heroes tend to decide not to look away. This was a top choice on my #AuldLangSpine2026 list. #AuldLangSpine #DashingThruDecember #Green

Eggs It does sound compelling 👏🏻 18h

Sapphic tension, dragons, matriarchal power struggles—yes please. I devoured this in one sitting, captivated by the gender-bending emissary and the guarded queen. But the twist was easy to guess, and the ending felt a bit rushed. Still, I appreciated how Yang explored the clash between belief systems and the power of myth. Thought-provoking, but not quite as fiery as I‘d hoped. 🔥🐉🏳️‍🌈 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Apparently, I have a thing for second books in fantasy novella series that (purportedly…barely) feature vampires. I was quickly reminded of the second book in Seanan McGuire‘s Wayward Children series, Down Among the Sticks & Bones. I liked that one better than the series opener, Every Heart a Doorway, & I liked this one better than the first in this duology, Silver in the Wood. I think this may be an unpopular opinion but it‘s one I stand by! 👇🏻

monalyisha 1/1: The setting, a seaside town with the looming ruins of an ancient abbey, may‘ve also had something to do with my favorable rating. Or maybe a lifetime of Buffy adoration has simply ruined me. 2d
Soubhiville I loved this duology, discovered through #NewYearWhoDat 😁 2d

Hot for Slayer: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Falling: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Beautiful Nightmare: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My Boyfriends are all Monsters: It was really good and then ? wtfffff

There are 2 more, but my brain has moved on from this Amazon Original Series.
What I read was really good!
Monsters was so good and mysterious, but then it got so weird. When she said "Hemlock", I got chills. But yeah, the ending.

I‘m usually skeptical of holiday specials in a series, but I enjoyed this continuation of the character‘s relationships, & the mystery was very interesting as well. A little bit sappy as the immortals search for the perfect gifts for eachother, including a somewhat misguided decision to gift a mystery in an attempt to keep married life from being a bore.
