Buy 3, For 2 Sale | My Top Picks!

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
Amazon is having a buy three for the price of two book sale. I skipped the last book sale, but I posted about some books you should check out. I’m not sure if I’ll buy any myself, but here are some books you should grab while they’re on sale!


Quicksilver by Callie Hart
This romantasy is a huge hit on BookTok! It’s supposed to be full of action, witty banter, and an enemies-to-lovers romance. It started as an indie book, but now a traditional publisher put it out.


Sunrise On The Reaping by Suzanne Collins
This is the newest addition to The Hunger Games series. Everyone loves this book, and I can’t wait to read the original trilogy, so I don’t miss out. If you’re into dystopian books with action, adventure, and killer writing, snag this series while it’s on sale!


The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
I didn’t love this story, but the twist at the end was awesome! If you’re interested in thrillers or have heard people talking about this one, it’s well worth picking up, especially with this deal.

Throne Of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
Although I haven’t read any of SJM’s books, I’m aware of her immense popularity. Not only is the complete Throne of Glass box set discounted, but it’s also part of the three-for-two sale. I’ve heard this fantasy series about an assassin is a beloved favorite among book readers.


Off To The Races by Elsie Silver
I became an Elsie Silver fan after reading (and loving) her “Chestnut Springs” series. This is the first book in a new series that is, I believe, supposed to be read before Chestnut Springs. This is a small town ranch romance, and I believe the MMC is the FMC’s boss!

How To Survive Your Murder by Danielle Valentine
This book is perfect for fans of cheesy horror films. I love this campy slasher book and jumped at the chance to recommend it when I saw it on sale. If you love 90’s teen horror movies, you’ll adore this crazy, bloody, YA horror story that just so happens to take place on Halloween.

Mixed Signals | Book Review

About The Book
Layla is done with love. Perhaps Caleb is her solution. He offers her a month of no-strings dating. He’ll prove to her that good men exist, and she’ll rate his romantic abilities. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement. But the longer their relationship goes on, the harder it becomes to remember that it’s not a real relationship, especially when it feels so real.

My Rating

I wasn’t sure if I’d like this book or not. It’s the third book in the Lovelight Farms series, but each book is a standalone romance novel. Same town, different couples, but all linked to the Christmas farm. Book one was meh, but I continued on with the series, hoping it would get better.

This book’s about Layla, who runs the bakery at Lovelight Farms. She’s a hopeless romantic, but unlucky in love. Despite her usual aversion to dating locals, she accepts a date with Caleb, an ex-deputy turned Spanish teacher. However, their dating period is limited to one month to discover why they remain single.

I’m a sucker for fake dating or dating-help plots, so this storyline thrilled me. I thoroughly enjoyed most of the book, finding its story charming and funny. Their dates were entertaining, and the story was just the right speed to keep me interested.

“Why are you giving these guys your time? Why are you settling for crumbs when you deserve the whole damn cake?”

Caleb is a great guy, really kind, and it’s obvious he’s crazy about Layla. I even liked his big, kinda nosy family. Despite Layla not being my favorite character, I had no major issues with her until roughly 75% of the way through the story. That’s when the book went downhill for me.

I won’t go on and on, but to sum it up, Layla was a total hypocrite. This dating arrangement began because she wanted an actual relationship, but her behavior at the end was extremely frustrating. I appreciated how she admitted her actions didn’t line up with her words, though.

Overall, the last few chapters were really annoying. The urge to fling my phone across the room was overwhelming. Maybe I’m making a big deal out of nothing, since some readers might enjoy the story. However, it bothers me when characters’ actions contradict their words because of fear or miscommunication. That might work in YA books, but adult romances need more maturity. That said, your feelings towards the ending might be more positive.

Fourth Wing | Book Review

About The Book
A young woman begins her studies at a dragon rider’s war college. To survive, she must navigate a treacherous world, battle fierce competitors, and unearth a long hidden secret. Success is paramount, even in the face of dangerous dragons and the treacherous world of political games and manipulations.

My Rating

This book has received an overwhelming amount of hype. In my opinion, it is one of the most popular book series since The Hunger Games and Divergent trilogies. Naturally, as a bookworm, I had to check it out. Plus, the whole dragon riders, forbidden love, and political element sounded really interesting.

Violet, the book’s protagonist, expected to be a scribe. But her mother, a prominent military general, had other ideas about her future. So Violet was thrust into this wild world of dragon riders. Besides being unprepared, she’s developing feelings for Xaden Riorson, who dislikes her because of her family background. The plot was fairly simple and easy to follow.

Honestly, I found the book’s description incredibly interesting. I had not read any books about dragons or dragon riders. I enjoyed the college as a setting; it mirrored Divergent, with the college’s quadrants mirroring the factions of Divergent. Dragon riders, much like Divergent’s Dauntless faction, are also fighting for their lives.

That said, I had some issues, particularly with the romance aspect. I realize this opinion is controversial, given that it’s a romantasy novel. But, I thought Violet fell for Xaden pretty fast. I was hoping for more tension and a slow burn enemies-to-lovers thing, but it didn’t really happen. I’m not usually into slow-burn romances (you know this if you read my blog!), but this book could have used a bit more of that.

“You look all frail and breakable, but you’re really a violent little thing, aren’t you?”

The pacing wasn’t great, either. A lot of the book focused on the characters’ training and classes. I wished for a more action-packed story with quicker progression. The book didn’t grab me until the 40% mark, but after that, I was hooked. So trust me when I say that it’s okay if the book is hard to get into at the beginning. I’m confident the story will captivate you by the time you’re halfway through.

The writing was well-done and, thankfully, not cheesy or cringe at all. The world-building isn’t too intense, so even if fantasy isn’t your main genre, you should still consider reading this book. It’s definitely an open-door romance, so please be aware of that going into the book. But honestly, there aren’t many spicy parts—maybe two—so you could skip them if you like.

Overall, I enjoyed the book, especially the characters and the cliffhanger ending. Though, I have to admit; I saw one twist coming. But anyway, I’m totally continuing the series. That being said, I’m not convinced it deserves all the hype. But it’s special to me because I even got my husband to read it! He gave it a five-star review, FYI!

The Honey Witch | Book Review

- Bunny 1 Comment

About The Book
Having struggled to fit in, Marigold Claude readily embraces becoming the Isle of Innisfree’s new head Honey Witch. But her magic comes at a price. Skeptical Lottie’s arrival makes Marigold determined to prove magic, sparking unexpected feelings. Facing dark magic, Marigold protects her home. By doing this, she might lose her magic and her heart.
Buy The Book: https://amzn.to/4hQg9Ui

My Rating

This book has a slow pace, but it’s cozy and fantastical. The magic, the story, and the characters were all wonderful. If you don’t like character-driven stories, you might not like this book. Marigold never fit in with her family, until she found out she’s a honey witch! Marigold inherits her grandma’s job as head honey witch, but also a curse—no true love for her!

We see Marigold adapt to island life in her grandmother’s house, using honey magic, befriending people, and confronting her solitude as the story progresses. The story shows that romantic love isn’t everything, but having someone who truly loves and commits to you is special. A major plot point revolves around the important theme of soulmates.

When Marigold meets the frosty Lottie, who doesn’t believe in magic, sparks fly. I loved watching their friendship grow. I liked how the book showed Lottie wasn’t as tough as she seemed, and Marigold really looked out for her.

“It is better to be lost in a beautiful daydream than trapped in a dim reality.”

The author’s creation of honey and ash magic was excellent, and I enjoyed learning about the different honeys. But I wanted more ash magic in the story! Plus, some parts, like those magical creatures (I think they were spirits?), were kinda confusing. I was a little fuzzy on how the witches spotted them. It needed more explanation.

The ending was great, but the last few chapters felt rushed. The book was all cozy fantasy until the end, when things got crazy serious. I expected a more exciting conclusion, even with the intensity of the final chapters. Things got intense really fast, but it all worked out quickly, too. I wanted a more epic magic battle at the end.

Overall, the book was pretty entertaining. The sapphic romance and magic system were highlights for me. The writing was excellent, and I nearly gave it a 4-star rating. Though I enjoyed the story, I doubt it will stay with me or be something I reread. Regarding spiciness, I would give it a rating of 1 to 1.5 out of 5.

In The Weeds | Book Review

- Bunny Leave a comment

About The Book
Beckett Porter can’t get Evelyn St. James out of his head, so her sudden appearance on his farm is quite a shock. He finds her charming, oblivious to her social media stardom. However, her second departure motivates him to move on. Complications arise when Evie goes offline at Lovelight Farms. Making the pair ponder if fate brought them back together.
Buy The Book: https://amzn.to/3Xx2xWf

My Rating

This is the second book in the Lovelight Farms adult romance series. Although part of a series, this book works perfectly well as a standalone novel. Still, reading the books in order helps you get to know the characters better. Each book is set in the same small town, focusing on a Christmas tree farm. This time around, we’re following grumpy farmer Beckett and serious social media influencer Evie.

We learned in the first book that the two characters had a passionate one-night stand. This makes the story a second-chance romance, a trope I usually find disappointing more than satisfying. This story stands out because the characters, unlike the typical grumpy-sunshine trope, are both reserved and serious.

I loved both Evie and Beckett, and their chemistry was evident from the beginning, which made me root for them. Seeing other characters from the first book was also fun. Some of the side characters were kinda annoying though, which made the book less enjoyable.

“I can’t stop picturing her in places that I am.”

As I mentioned, I really don’t like second-chance romances, and this book didn’t change that. The plot could’ve been more exciting, it was just okay. Plus, I’m not crazy about stories with influencers. Despite that, I’m still fond of the Christmas tree farm setting and the small-town feel.

I loved watching them both grow throughout the book, individually and together. But, the third act’s conflict was a real weak point in the book. To my disappointment, this book featured the clichéd miscommunication breakup trope. Their whole character development and relationship got thrown out the window, it seemed. I hope that wasn’t a spoiler, but it kinda ruined the plot for me, so I had to mention it.

Overall, I much preferred this book to the first. It was more enjoyable, so I will continue reading the series. Just a heads up, this book has some open door romance scenes. I’d give it a three out of five on the spice scale. You might not like it if you only read clean romances, but there aren’t many explicit scenes, and you can skip them without missing much of the plot.

Comment below and let me know what books from this series you’ve read. And do you like books featuring influencer characters? Check back often for more book reviews and updates, or follow the blog to stay informed.

Love In The Time Of Serial Killers | Book Review

- Bunny Leave a comment

About The Book
Phoebe Walsh, a PhD candidate, tackles family issues and a dissertation deadline while clearing out her childhood home. Paranoia strikes when she suspects Sam Dennings, her charming new neighbor, of being a serial killer. After Sam proves his good nature, Phoebe faces the decision of lowering her defenses and opening her heart, instead of always expecting the worst.
Buy The Book: https://amzn.to/4gHIT0f

My Rating

This romcom, while cute and silly, also had surprising depth. I appreciated the story’s complexities and its relatable characters. There were also some funny moments. But, honestly, the book didn’t grab me, and the writing style wasn’t great.

Phoebe, the main character, is a PhD student who’s obsessed with true crime and serial killers—maybe a little too obsessed. I really liked how she and Sam, her neighbor and crush, joked around with each other. And I thought it was cute how awkward they both were. I thought Phoebe’s suspicion of Sam being a serial killer would be more important to the story, but it wasn’t.

While I liked Phoebe and Sam, I thought their relationship developed too rapidly. Phoebe went from completely avoiding Sam to becoming his friend and, before long, falling for him. I’m not usually into slow-burn romances, but the characters lacked the chemistry needed for their relationship to progress so fast.

“Fuck that. I’d rather be seen as a little rude than risk being taken to a second location.”

For me, the highlight of the story was Phoebe’s brother. I enjoyed their sibling dynamic and also appreciated that he was stable and well-adjusted. He and Phoebe both experienced childhood trauma, particularly related to their father. The story really shows how differently two people can handle similar childhoods.

Overall, the book surprised me; it was emotional, funny, and romantic all at once. While there are some spicy scenes, I’d rate the book a 2 out of 5 on the spice scale—easily skippable if you prefer. Honestly, it’s a decent book, but nothing special. Sadly, it didn’t quite meet my expectations.

Have you read this book? Let me know in the comments below! And on a separate note, I’m curious to know if you are someone who enjoys and follows true crime stories and investigations.

Be My Valentine | Book Recommendations

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
I wanted to share some book recommendations perfect for Valentine’s Day! However, I didn’t want these recs to be filled with only romance books because I know that there are so many types of readers. Some people might only read mystery/thrillers while others prefer fantasy, which is why I create this list with many readers in mind.

The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose

I think this mystery thriller would be a fun Valentine’s Day read. The story follows a woman whose husband stands accused of murdering his lover. Her role now is to defend her husband in court, literally acting as his attorney in the case brought against him. I’ve only read one of this author’s books, and although I wasn’t crazy about it, I’ve heard great things about this one. There’s also a film adaptation in progress, and a sequel book coming soon.

One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid

To be completely honest, I wasn’t a fan of this book. However, it’s a great Valentine’s Day read if you want something emotional with a happy-ish ending. Emma, in the book, ends up marrying her high school sweetheart Jesse. Following Jesse’s unexpected death, Emma returns home and eventually begins a relationship with a former friend. But then, surprise—Jess is alive and wants Emma back, except Emma’s moved on. This book is a total emotional rollercoaster!
Related Post: One True Loves | Book Review

Happily Never After by Lynn Painter

This romcom has a unique twist: the FMC is cynical about love and relationships. To rescue people from terrible marriages, Sophie and Max become a wedding-objecting pair. If you’re a girl who likes witty banter and quick, not-too-mushy romances, you’ll love this book. It’s a friends-to-lovers story with some steamy scenes—if you’re okay with that, it’s a good read!
Related Post: Happily Never After | Book Review

Lonely Hearts Day by Kasie West

This quick YA novella takes place on Valentine’s Day. Scarlett’s not anti-Valentine’s Day, but she’d rather celebrate being single. So, enlisting the help of her longtime best friend, Jack, she hosts a party for all the single students at their high school. However, the undeniable spark between Jack and Scarlett complicates her independent, single identity. This sounds like the perfect lighthearted teen romance to me!

Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

I think the book title practically shouts “fairytale romance”. This young adult romantasy novel, the first in a trilogy, continues the story of the Prince of Hearts from the Caraval series. This book promises an incredible romance intertwined with a fascinating fantasy story! If you’re looking for a fantasy romance this Valentine’s Day, this book is for you.

Free Audible Audiobooks | February 2025

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
As a huge audiobook lover, I’m always on the hunt for the best deals because, let’s be real, they can get pricey. Lately, I’ve noticed more and more books being included with an Audible subscription, so I figured I’d share some audiobooks you can listen to for free if you’re a member. Basically, I did the work for you—now you can just add these to your library without the hassle of searching. You’re welcome!

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

I’m gonna be completely honest—I’m not an SJM fan and probably never will be. But I know her books are wildly popular. So when I saw this was free with an Audible membership, I knew I had to mention it!

Binding 13 by Chloe Walsh

I’ve been wanting to listen to this series for the longest time, but I know it’s super emotional with a few intense TW. Honestly, I don’t know if I’m ready to sob that much. But since it’s free with an Audible subscription, I might just have to bite the bullet and start it.

The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen

This is actually an Audible exclusive audiobook! I believe it’s the first book in a fantasy romance series (correct me in the comments if I’m wrong!). I’ve been wanting to read A Fate Inked in Blood by this author, but this is her first fantasy series, and I’ve heard great things about it. Since it’s included with my Audible membership, I may need to give it a try.

Lightlark by Alex Aster

I’ve heard so many mixed opinions on this YA fantasy series, which is probably why I haven’t picked it up yet. But apparently, the books just keep getting better, so I’m curious! Right now, it’s free to listen to if you have an Audible subscription. I’m not sure if I’ll actually take advantage of that since I have other books I’m more interested in. Still, if you’ve been wanting to start this series, now might be the perfect time.

If We Meet Again by Ana Huang

This is the first book in the If Love romance series, and to be totally honest, I know nothing about it. Ana Huang is an author I’ve been open to trying, but I’ve never felt a strong pull towards her books. I believe she writes a lot of mafia romances, which aren’t really my thing. That said, she’s a BookTok favorite author, so I wanted to mention that this audiobook is free right now with an Audible membership in case anyone wants to check it out.

Have you listened to any of these? Do you recommend them? Let me know in the comments! If you want to stay up-to-date with the blog and never miss a post, give it a follow! You’ll get notified whenever there’s something new, and it also helps the blog grow.

The Kind Worth Killing | Book Review

- Bunny Leave a comment

About The Book

As their twisted plan unfolds, Ted remains unaware of Lily’s dark past and expertise in murder. With secrets unraveling and a relentless detective closing in, their deadly game of deception spirals into a battle for survival.
Buy The Book: https://amzn.to/40KFDLw

My Rating

This was a very unique thriller, and I probably wouldn’t have picked it up if it hadn’t been recommended to me. I would say it falls into the thriller/suspense category, and it’s a very character-driven story, which is how I typically prefer my thrillers. I also enjoyed how the author connected all these different characters in surprising ways.

Throughout the story, we get multiple points of view. First, we have Ted, who is heartbroken over the fact that his wife is cheating on him. He ends up meeting Lily, and the two strike up a deal to kill his wife, Miranda. As for Lily, she’s a very complex character, and we get a lot of backstory about her and why she is so willing to help Ted kill his wife.

We also get a bit of Miranda’s POV in the story, which was very interesting. I didn’t expect any chapters following her thoughts. The last main point of view we get is from the detective, Henry, as he follows the case and gets closer to Lily. He becomes very fascinated by her and wonders how she fits into all that is going on.

“Everyone dies. What difference does it make if a few bad apples get pushed along a little sooner than God intended?”

This book is full of twists and turns, and I just kept wanting to read it. It’s one of those thrillers that you don’t want to put down. I will say that the pacing was a bit off for me, which hindered my enjoyment a bit. Also, I’m not a huge fan of detective/cop thrillers where they’re trying to solve a case. However, I think this one worked because there was a lot more to it than the standard crime thriller. It also had a bunch of different elements that set it apart.

I really liked how Lily was a morally grey character because I find it fascinating to get inside the headspace of that type of character—one who isn’t all bad but not necessarily all good either. The ending was very well done, and I know there’s a sequel or more so a companion novel, so I’d be interested in reading more about these characters.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this book, and it was fairly entertaining. It isn’t going to be an all-time favorite thriller of mine, and I don’t know if I truly enjoy the author’s writing style. Still, I would be willing to pick up other books by them. I recommend this to anyone looking for a less intense, but still twisty thriller. As I said, it follows more along the lines of suspense, and a bit of mystery.

In the comments, let me know what your favorite types of thrillers are to read! I’m definitely a fan of suspense and unreliable narrator thrillers. Don’t forget to like this post and share it with other readers. Before you go, if you could give the blog a follow, it would really help it grow and keep you up-to-date with all the new posts!
