Neither amnesia nor the brothers trying to steer her fate will stop Amber Fallbrook from uncovering the truth about herself, the Alchemary, and the legend of the Philosopher’s Stone.
 
New York Times bestselling author Rachel Vincent (Soul Screamers, The Shifters) pens a dark paranormal romantasy centered on alchemy magic—and those who dare harness it.
 
Naked, knowing little more than her name, Amber Fallbrook does not recognize the stone tower she’s awoken in, or the vast, glittering ocean outside the window. Turning, she finds a very a different view: the beautiful, nearly naked man in the narrow bed is a stranger. So is the man who barges into the room unannounced, clearly expecting to find Amber alone.
 
Who are they? Who is she? Why can’t she remember?
 
Shocked to discover that she’s in her dormitory room at the Alchemary—the realm’s prestigious university dedicated to the study of alchemy—Amber has no recollection of having been one of the school’s top students for the past two years. The two men—brothers—are her childhood friends, even if “friends” is not the exact energy in the room.
 
One brother claims to want to protect her, and the other to help her recover her memory, but Amber soon realizes that nothing is at it seems at the Alchemary. Not the intentions of her classmates and faculty, not the stunning, labyrinthian campus, not the two brothers she’s increasingly attracted to—maybe not even herself.
 
Despite her memory loss, Amber rejoins her classes and prepares for the deadly Alchemary Trials alongside the other Mastery-level students. But as invigorating as the flowing language and symbology of alchemy is, she can’t help but notice that for an institution shining light on the quest for human perfection there are a lot of dark shadows in its winding corridors. 
 
 
My Review: EHH. 
 
I was expecting a lot from this book. Given I've read many of Rachels books, the blurb for this book, it was all aimed to have high hopes.
 
Well....I had to put this book down and come back to it in order to finish it.
 
While I didn't hate the book, I didn't love it as much as I'd hoped.
 
I liked Amber. She was a good character and developed well throughout the book. Especially for someone who woke up to sudden amnesia with no clue or cause as to why this happened, she takes it in stride.
 
Amber wants to know what happened, will her memory come back, fight to stay and earn her spot back as the top student and get through the trials.
 
At one point, they think this whole issue is kept under wraps until Amber is basically threatened/blackmails by Pryce who knows she can’t remember and how easy it’ll be to beat her now.  Give you a moment to pause and think, could it be him? Mayne he is just this kind of jerk. Plus he knew she was waiting on Wilder and kind of sort of made it so would be delayed. Yeah, jerk he is and not a fan of this guy.
 
There were many aspects that I loved about this book and many that could’ve been improved on. The pace was horribly slow and made it feel so boring you had to step away to avoid being angry at it.
 
It took about the halfway point before it finally got my attention enough to finally want to continue the book and be glued to the pages.
 
Plus that ending was fabulous! Finally what I needed and now I'm actually holding hope that the second book will turn out to be better and keep me glued in from the start.

The heir to a family bourbon dynasty, Jackson knows the rumors swirling around him. The truth is even darker.

I was trained to be a pawn, but I will rise as a queen.

My life has never been my own. After the death of my parents, I was saved by my grandfather, with the promise that he would turn me over to the Brotherhood on my twenty-first birthday.

I was kept away from the outside world so I could one day be sold to the highest bidder—pure and unsullied. Penance for my parents’ alleged crimes.

That’s how I come to be sold at an auction.

And who buys me but the reclusive billionaire, Lincoln Knight?

Some say that he’s a monster, more dangerous than any of the evil men from the Brotherhood. That he wears a mask to cover his scars. But I believe he’s hiding more than just his face behind his mask.

My fate is sealed when he takes me to his crumbling mansion deep in the woods. I’m trapped. Entirely at his mercy.

I have to escape.

But something here isn’t what it seems.

Lincoln isn’t what he seems. Maybe he’s not a monster at all. I’m drawn to him in a way that I can’t explain. Until I discover that his secrets go far beyond his mask.

He’s everything I’ve been taught to fear, but what if everything I’ve ever known has been a lie?

 

My Review: WOW. This book was so damn good. Seriously, it kept me up late into the night, I just couldn’t put it down.  

Imogen, Lincoln and Pierre are done so well. I just wanted to hug them all. Imogen for all that she has been through and having to learn to that life is over now and she really is safe. Pierre being a good friend to Lincoln and being a friend to Imogen especially when she’s never had one and it made such a difference for her. Lincoln for wanting to rid the world of those evil men and saving every woman he's come across when dealing with them and give those women a chance at a much better life.  

It starts with Imogen and other women lined up to be sold and Imogen being the star prize of it all. She can do this; she is strong and knows how to survive. She just hopes it’s not that Lincoln Knight guy with a bad reputation.... well uhhh it Kinda does end up being him.  

Once sold, Imogen is prepared for whatever he may demand if her. But he doesn’t. He gives her a safe place, free roam of the house (minus some areas), the most comfortable she’s had, clothing, food, etc. Whatever she wants, she need only ask. Imogen is free, but it takes her a while to notice it. She thinks he’s just waiting or buttering her up until he has use for her. Oh if she only knew the truth. 

Lincoln is fighting to shut down the brotherhood behind it all. To make it all finally end. While also fighting his feelings for Imogen. Spending time with her during a storm to listening about her favorite book and tracking it down for her. To the way he thinks about her in all the ways. Even if he is trying to be distant and tries to push her away at times. Deep down he is this good guy. 

Overall, it's one of the best books this year alone. Despite all the trigger warnings and darkness of it. It hits a lot things but also shows someone willing to fight to make things better. It’s truly worth the read. 

But do keep in mind the warnings with this book before diving in.

Genre: Adult, Romance, Second Chance

Two exes, one house. What could go wrong?

Olivia had a plan: MBA, Wall Street VP by thirty-two, marriage and two children (preferably twins because #efficiency).

Not in her plan? Losing half her belongings in an apartment flood and being forced to turn to her ex for help.

Definitely not in her plan? Moving into said ex’s house and watching him walk around shirtless, bake her cupcakes, and look at her with those smoldering—

Wait, what was she talking about again?

***

Between his bakery and meddling family, Sammy had enough on his plate without bringing the ex he’d never been able to forget into the mix.

But when Olivia asks for his help, he couldn’t say no. He could, however, make her regret breaking his heart—as long as he doesn’t do anything foolish, like sneak into her room and kiss her senseless…

As passion slowly replaces their dislike for each other, Sammy and Olivia discover their past isn’t what it seems and their future is anything but certain. Can they overcome their pride and give love a second chance, or is history doomed to repeat itself?

If We Were Perfect is a steamy second chance/roommate romance. It's book four of the If Love series but can be read as a complete standalone.

Recommended for 18+ due to explicit content and adult language. 

 

My Review: OMG I wanted to shake these two so bad. 

Olivia and Sammy drive me insane for the longest time, it wasn't until closer to the end that I was finally able to fully enjoy this story.

Oliva at times can be a lot. Her super extra over the top organizing, lists, etc. Having her life planed out to a T and everything in between. Sure, its a great thing and I loved it as much as the next person, but Oliva was on a level all her own. 

Her family though? HATE them, out with them all. I couldn't stand her mum in this at ALL. Maybe it's because I know what it's like to face a lot of the same things but woah did that bring so much anger for this lady and wanting to protect Oliva from her.

Then you have Sammy, who didn't drive me as bonkers, but there were still moments. Sammy is doing great in life right now. He has a home, his bakery is very successful, with the plans for another one on the way. All is just fine, minus his mum constantly trying to marry him off to have kids already and kinda can't let go of his grudge with Oliva. Especially when the truth behind that day comes out and didn't turn out to be what he really thought it was. 

So let's put them together as roommate shall we? That couldn't go wrong at all...and well despite some issues they actually finally cave into each other and give this thing between them another chance. 

However, the best part was nearing the end when FINALLY they stuck for good, and settled down to make a life for themselves and the fun surprises that came along as well. NOW that was the romance I was waiting for and then I was glued until the end. 

I've read many other books by Ana and while I like this series a lot, its not really my favorite. Her Twisted and Kings of Sins series however, are so worth it.

My Review

Even If We Last
I’m what people call a charmer. Maybe it’s the drawl, maybe it’s the dimples, or maybe it’s the entire ex-Special-Forces package. Either way, I’ve never met a woman I haven’t been able to sweep off their feet . . . until Mallory Monroe. The only female on our team, she’s all fierce words, brave actions, and impenetrable walls around her heart. She’s also the only girl I’ve ever loved.

After burying my feelings for over a decade, I’m not surprised I dream of waking up married to her. Except, it isn’t a dream; the certificate claiming we’re husband and wife is real, and neither of us remembers a thing. Dream come true or not, I never wanted this. Not when my new bride looks horrified, accuses me like our situation is my fault, and demands we “fix it.”

But while I’d do almost anything for her—including taking a bullet for her, again—leaving her, in any sense of the word, isn’t one of those things. And when Mallory makes no move to annul our secret marriage, even months later, I decide to test the waters by attempting to date my wife.

My Review

The Fox and the Devil
An obsession with a beautiful serial killer entangles a vampire hunter’s daughter in an immortal sapphic romance in this enthralling gothic fantasy from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lucy Undying.

Anneke has a complicated relationship with her father, Abraham Van Helsing—doctor, scientist, and madman devoted to studying vampires—up until the night she comes home to find him murdered, with a surreally beautiful woman looming over his body. A woman who leaves no trace behind, other than the dreams and nightmares that plague Anneke every night.

Spurred by her desire for vengeance and armed with the latest in forensic and investigatory techniques, Anneke puts together a team of detectives to catch her mysterious serial killer. Because her father isn’t the only inexplicably dead body. There’s a trail of victims across Europe and Anneke is certain they’re all connected.

But during the years spent relentlessly hunting the killer, Anneke keeps some crucial evidence to infuriatingly coy letters, addressed only to Anneke, occasionally soaked in blood, and always signed Diavola. Devil. The obsession is mutual, and all the more dangerous for it.

The closer Anneke gets to her devil, though, the less sense the world makes. Maybe her father wasn’t a madman, after all. Diavola might be something much worse than a serial killer . . . and much harder to destroy. Because as Anneke unearths more of Diavola’s tragic past, she suspects there’s still a heart somewhere in that undead body.

A heart that beats for Anneke alone.

My Review

Cupid Is A Liar
I thought the worst thing that could happen on Valentine’s Day was getting stood up.

I was wrong.

When my date ghosts me and I decide to confront him, I don’t expect the night to spiral. I don’t expect danger and I definitely don’t expect the quiet, intense man from down the hall to step in and change everything.

Damian Salvanti is calm under pressure.

Terrifyingly observant.
And far too willing to put himself between me and the world.

The more time I spend with him, the more unsettling the truth becomes.

He knows me.
My routines.
My fears.
The things I want but never say out loud.
Because Damian hasn’t just been watching out for me.

He’s been watching me…

Cupid Is a Liar is a dark, fast-paced Valentine’s romance featuring an obsessive, morally gray hero who falls first, a heroine who chooses danger over safety, and a love story that blurs the line between devotion and obsession.

My Review

The Astral Library

From New York Times bestselling author Kate Quinn comes a gorgeously written fantastical adventure which poses the question: Have you ever wished you could live inside a book? Welcome to the Astral Library, where books are not just objects, but doors to new worlds, new lives, and new futures.

Working three dead-end jobs to make ends meet and knowing college is a pipe dream, Alix takes nightly refuge in the high-vaulted reading room at the Boston Public Library, escaping into her favorite fantasy novels and dreaming of far-off lands. Until the day she stumbles through a hidden door and meets the Librarian: the ageless, acerbic guardian of a hidden library where the desperate and the lost escape to new lives...inside their favorite books.

The Librarian takes a dazzled Alix under her wing, but before she can escape into the pages of her new life, a shadowy enemy emerges to threaten everyone the Astral Library has ever helped protect. Aided by a dashing costume-shop owner, Alix and the Librarian flee through the Regency drawing rooms of Jane Austen to the back alleys of Sherlock Holmes and the champagne-soaked parties of The Great Gatsby as danger draws inexorably closer. But who does their enemy really wish to destroy—Alix, the Librarian, or the Library itself?

Ready or Not meets Throne of the Fallen in a spicy, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance, where an Italian getaway turns deadly after a young woman is trapped in her host family's cursed game.

Ready or not, the game has begun.

Genevieve Grimm has felt adrift ever since her sister became the head of the family. So when a mysterious friend of their mother's invites her to Italy, she accepts. She arrives at his grand palace, expecting passion and magic, decadence and luxury... perhaps even a midnight ball.

She doesn't expect the owner's ruthlessly handsome son to slam the door in her face. Rowin Silver is tall, dark, and exceptionally rude, and invitation or not, he demands Genevieve leave and never come back. But Genevieve follows nobody's orders, especially those of arrogant rich boys. She slips inside—and immediately discovers her mistake.

Rowin and his family are caught in an insidious game of hide and seek, where only one can win. The rest will be trapped in Hell... until the competition begins again.

Genevieve must either join the hunt or forfeit any hope of escaping. But to her dismay, her best chance of survival lies with Rowin. Since lovers may play as a pair, Rowin and Genevieve agree to form an alliance under the guise of a fake courtship. However, as they race through the game's elaborate labyrinth, trapped among gleaming gold and shining marble, their loathing gives way to irresistible attraction. Only Rowin is keeping secrets, especially when it comes to his ruthless family, and Genevieve can't help but wonder if she's trapped in two treacherous games: Enchantra and the one Rowin is playing with her heart.

 

My Review: I'm so excited to get back into this series!

I will have to say though, it did take me longer to get into and enjoy story where with he first book I loved it right from the start. 

The start was a little bit slower for me. It was also kind of boring at points where I nearly considered putting the book down and maybe coming back to it at a later time. But, stick with it because we eventually got there and I was once again hooked into this world.

This time its focused on Genevieve. She's exploring Italy and Ophelia even made her a list for while she was there. It was supposed to be her escape and to find someone else who may be like her. Thus, her plan to visit an old friend of her mums even though its kinda under false pretenses in a way. 

When Genevieve makes her way to the home that she was invited to, its not the warm and friendly welcome she was thinking of. In fact, more than once she was told to go and couldn't come in. So uh...she lets herself inside in her own way. 

Welp. Now she goes from wanting in so badly, to now not being able to leave even if she was able to, having to explain to head of the home that he was talking to her and not her mum and so on. So now she has gotten herself into quite the pickle. 

What's even worse? She is now forced to play into a deadly game, suddenly isn't single, ends up finding more than she could ever want and then it's all gone.

The ending of the book was definitely, my favorite part. Watching Genevieve and Rowin was amazing, especially when they finally cave into their feelings. Then watching them start all over again and seeing just what Rowin was willing to sacrifice for her. 

I really hope there is more, this series is a new favorite of mine.

When Ophelia’s sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize—a single wish.

Phantasma is a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, of demons and temptations. Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. There can only be one winner, and the other contestants will stop at nothing to eliminate their rivals.

Every day the house creates new monsters. But just as Ophelia’s fears threaten to overwhelm her, a mysterious stranger offers her a bargain.

Charming, arrogant and infuriatingly attractive, Blackwell claims he can guide her through the lethal trials ahead. All he asks in return is ten years of her life.

Ophelia knows she shouldn’t trust him. Blackwell doesn’t seem dangerous, but appearances can be deceptive. Worse still, she feels a dark and irresistible attraction drawing them closer and closer.

Her life is on the line. But in Phantasma, the only thing deadlier than losing the game is losing your heart . . .

 

My Review: OMG I LOVED this book. 

The entire book was fantastic. From the characters, world building, romance and everything in between, I was so here for it.

Ophelia and Genevieve start the book a pretty bad note. Their mum was just found dead. Ophelia takes her necklace and quickly performance the spell to become the next necromancer in the family. Then they visit her at the funeral home and THEN they find out their home is at stake. 

There is A LOT going on. Things get more tense when Ophelia finds out that Genevieve kinda secretly knew about more than she let on and didn't tell Ophelia about it. That among other things, ends up causing a fight between them.

When on the look for her sister, Ophelia comes to find out that she must have entered Phantasma. So the logical thing to do was enter as well clearly. 

Then comes Blackwell. I loved his character. The banter between him and Ophelia. They are great together and Blackwell ended up being a much bigger role than you'd think which was fantastic. 

I don't have much about this book that I didn't like. There were moments that it was a little all over the place but really if there was anything it was minor. I loved how the author brought in a character with OCD and really brought a new light to it. The variations of it and was really well brought out and one of the best representations of it. 

Overall, I loved this entire book. I couldn't put it down and then didn't want to even when it ended. I'm so excited for more books in this series.
