Dreams Lie Beneath | Rebecca Ross

Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
There was so much in this story that felt totally brand new. The nightmare wardens and the wraiths from the mountain kingdom, especially.
Though, for all the ground it had to cover, I do feel like it dragged in the middle and then raced to the end.
It wasn‘t as good as Divine Rivals, but I will gladly read all of Ross‘ work.

TW sexual violence I really enjoyed most of this book but the sexual violence in the middle was both not needed nor handled properly.

It‘s stupid cold. I‘ve made myself finish off a cowl and I‘ll start something else. The Witchstone is fun though. Kinda jaunty with the air of a heist yet to happen.

Another great Rebecca Ross book! I love her magic systems- they are always unique. In this one wardens record nightmares and have to fight them every month until a curse is broken. Lots of magical secrets and disguises with a satisfying ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Do Your Worst | Rosie Danan

Finished in September - an enjoyable enemies-to-lovers romance. It is set in Scotland so I was excited to read it before our trip there this fall. I loved the combo of the rule-following archaeologist and the more chaotic curse-breaker. The bit of magical realism was fun and made the stakes seem higher. I would read another book with these two on their further adventures solving the unexplained.

Ozzie thinks I need to give him an apology for making him move off my lap to go eat dinner. Now he‘s happily back on my legs as we settle down to read tonight.

Not a lot of great books in February, so this was my favorite read. A romance set in a creepy/haunted castle.

I found this via IG, as the author has hysterical Book Goblin reels, and decided to give this series a try. I like Wheatley‘s writing style. The world building is good, even if the set up drags a bit. The ending is open, prepped for the sequel. I‘m looking forward to seeing how things play out.

ReadingOver50 I love the book Goblin videos too! 3mo
Eyelit Gotta love book goblin! 3mo
Soubhiville What, she wrote a book?! Must buy immediately! 3mo

DGRachel @Soubhiville She has several complete series and has a new series that starts early next year. 3mo
Soubhiville That‘s so cool. I‘m not sure why I didn‘t know that. Definitely planning to give her a try this year. 🙂📚 3mo
julesG I think you're the first person I know who has read one of her books. Yes, there are lots of positive reviews, but I tend to look for reviews from people I know before getting a book that might be "epic". I'm allergic to "epic" novels. ("epic" to me means something along "drawn out plot/world-building/character development and endless/unnecessary descriptions of mundane things") 3mo
DGRachel @julesG I think she did a good job with the initial world building but yes, there are definitely some things she‘s intentionally drawing out and I‘m not best pleased about it. But, the first book was good enough that I want to read at least the next and since they were on sale for a reasonable price, I went ahead and bought the remaining 5 ebooks. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3mo
julesG Okay! Thanks. I'm off to have a look at whether they are on sale here too. 3mo
