To Be Read Pile – Hey Bookworms Editing

Book Mail always makes me feel so special. I love opening up my mailbox to find PR boxes and books I’ve pre ordered. It feels like Christmas year round, ha!

I totally was not expecting to receive Lucia Franco’s books, but I’ve been impatiently waiting for Heaven Breaker and A Curse of Blood and Wolves.

Hush Hush by Lucia Franco

Blurb:

I knew the rules.

Never reveal my true identity.
Play the game, give the illusion.
Don’t get close to the clients.

The dark and glamorous lifestyle of the rich and shameless open my eyes to a lavish world of sin and wealth, and a man I can’t have.

A man I desperately want—James Riviera.

We’re treading a fine line as we live the ultimate double life until we make a startling discovery that tests both our loyalties.
I only had to follow the rules, but rules are meant to be broken.

Find it here!

A Curse of Blood and Wolves by Melissa McTernan

Blurb:

Is it possible to be drawn to someone you’ve never met?

When Ruby feels the eyes of a stranger in the woods, she knows she should be scared, that she should run away, but she can’t. Instead, she feels a thrill, feels drawn to this stranger who follows her in the woods. Yearns for his eyes on her every night as she walks home, hoping to hear the crunch of leaves under his feet that signals he’s there.

Will he ever reveal himself?

After all, fate doesn’t make mistakes …

Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Heaven Breaker by Sara Wolf

Blurb:

Bravery isn’t what you do. It’s what you endure.

The duke of the powerful House Hauteclare is the first to die. With my dagger in his back.

He didn’t see it coming. Didn’t anticipate the bastard daughter who was supposed to die with her mother―on his order. He should have left us with the rest of the Station’s starving, commoner rubbish.

Now there’s nothing left. Just icy-white rage and a need to make House Hauteclare pay. Every damn one of them.

Even if it means riding Heavenbreaker―one of the few enormous machines left over from the War―and jousting against the fiercest nobles in the system.

Each win means another one of my enemies dies. And here, in the cold terror of space, the machine and I move as one, intent on destroying each adversary―even if it’s someone I care about. Even if it’s someone I’m falling for.

Only I’m not alone. Not anymore.

Because there’s something in the machine with me. Something horrifying. Something…more.

And it won’t be stopped.

You can snag it here!

Happy reading, friends!

Hey Bookworms!

I have only recently started buying books again instead of perusing through Kindle Unlimited, not that there is anything wrong with them….although some are not the greatest quality. Without further ado, these are the books I’ve got on my “To Be Read” list for this month.

Recruitment by K. A. Riley
I’ll be totally honest, I actually received this book and finished it all yesterday. I’ve already moved onto the next book in the trilogy. This book gives me total Hunger Games and Divergent vibes. I loved the Dystopian theme….although the fact that it was set in 2042 made it feel like it’s a little too close to present times to think that the world is going to go to hell in 2031…..ten years? Lordy.

Shatter Me by Tehereh Mafi
I totally bought this off of a recommendation from BookTok. No shame. It sounds very interesting since for our main character one touch has the ability to send a man to his knees gasping. I’m intrigued. Can she control it? Or does everyone suffer the fate of her touch?

Lore by Alexandra Bracken
May have also bought this after seeing how pretty the hardback was on Bookstagram. Zero shame. I love Greek Mythology, and I have loved retellings of Greek Mythology since my first foray into Percy Jackson.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Yes, I’m totally behind the times on this one. Where have I been? I saw a friend of mine reading the most recent installment, and she read it in one sitting. Next thing you know, I’m putting this gorgeous book in my cart and it’s on its way to me.

The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen
Also a BookTok suggestion, but princess? Bringing a king to his knees? Can’t decide if she hates him or wants him? Okay, yes sign me up, please and thank you! Also, the cover is super intriguing. Who is the man in front of her? Is it the king? Someone else? I’m here for it.

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
I did not finish this one. In fact, I actually read the prologue and first three chapters and am returning it. I am part of the unpopular opinion that did not like this book. I was annoyed at how race permeated every thought the MC had and how she was being arrested for underaged drinking and she was talking about police brutality. I read to get away from today’s drama, not to be pushed further into it.

See y’all after the next chapter!
