Dark, taboo, and sensual.
I was initially uncomfortable with the student/teacher story but you really do root for them.

Fantasy/science fiction holds up a mirror to real life, and this one is SCATHING. A fascinating look at the dark side of humanity, ego and selfishness — but also the drive to do better. The choice of magic to power a city is an interesting one, with life‘s energy being used to run technology similar to our own. I wonder what we would do, given the choice, and am afraid I know. An absolutely outstanding read, if a difficult one.

Another slow burn romance from Mariana Zapata.

This was about a young woman who accompanies her brother's band on tour to sell merch.

Famous soccer player, Kulti, is mentioned a few times...

Oh, and I forgot to post my out of control pre-new year book outlet binge #bookhaul.
The sale was too much for me to resist. I need serious help.

MaleficentBookDragon @Scochrane26 I love that! I‘ve hit a few in the Virginia/DC area since I moved down here and am planning visiting more. 1w

4.5⭐️ holy hell, what a ride. Let‘s start with please check your trigger warnings. I get that it‘s a dark romance, but some of the “villains” scenes can be a little much. This is a dark romance/thriller book and it kept me on the edge of my seat. The only reason it doesn‘t have a higher score was because a lot of the spice took over some of the plot. Mind you I loved all the spice. I just could‘ve used some more backstory. #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo

This was a very OK book for me. I like the author's writing style, but the story just wasn't fully grabbing my attention after a 1/4 in. It even featured a really unique magic system. I honestly had high hopes for this first read of 2025, so a little disappointed.
