Mandated Smiles was such a fun horror book! A collection of short stories including vengeful spiders, killer smiles, hungry hearts and so much more.

I really enjoyed my time reading this book, it was gory brutal and fun!

Highly recommend it to any horror lover, just remember to keep smiling!

This was the most adorable story I’ve ever read in my entire life! A memorable tale of a beautiful friendship between Pamela and her horse Macaroni.

I loved this read very much, it was truly heartwarming and sweet, it makes me very happy that this is the first book in a series.

Also the illustrations was gorgeous, looking at them filled me with joy.

I highly recommend reading this wonderful children book to everyone!

The last tree words broke me.

Wow, where to even begin?!

First of all the cover is absolutely stunning, creepy and captivating.

I heard the absolute best of this book, I’ve heard everyone loving it and I can only say the best things as well, I can confirm how perfect this book is. I have no words to describe this read. From the very beginning the story mesmerized me I literally couldn’t put the book down. The writing style was flawless, so easy to read and I devoured it. Maeve Fly is definitely became my new favorite character ever, she’s so strong, powerful and unique.

This is the book that I immediately knew while reading it that it will become my new all time favorite read and I’m truly obsessed with this delightful novel.

If you’re a horror lover as myself you need to read this masterpiece!

Wow!

Honey gets bored house sitting at her parents house so she decides to have some fun and play with her old Ouija board but she wouldn’t except that a demon answers her call. And then the real fun begins.

A Demon Answers was a quick and very steamy read! I had a great time reading it and I would definitely read more by the author in the future.

Highly recommend this one if you’re looking for something short, spicy and fun.

Thank you so much @booksprout for providing me an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Check the trigger warnings!!!

I haven’t read the trigger warnings before going into the book and I usually don’t get triggered by anything except animal cruelty…

I should have read the triggers beforehand, I got 55% through the book but the story “Soul to Sell” was too much for me and I can’t continue reading this book.

I don’t understand why people dislike Chaol and loves Rowan so much!? I mean my favorite character other than Celaena is Chaol. I love him so much, he’s definitely one of my favorite book boyfriend.

Also don’t get me wrong I don’t have any problem with Rowan, I think he’s a great character who I would like to know better but he’s not my favorite character at least not yet.

Now that I discussed the characters I need to talk about this book which definitely wasn’t my favorite of the series so far. I really enjoyed it but I need to be honest when I say that it was very slow paced compared to Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight (which is definitely my favorite so far)

Yes, it was longer as well but that doesn’t bothered me at all but I felt like nothing actually happened in the story.

Overall Heir of Fire was an enjoyable book and this series is definitely my new favorite.

I’m very excited to keep reading this series and see where the story goes.

Good Girl Deprogramming was an empowering and inspiring read.

I think deep down every woman knows this but this book was a great reminder to live life to the fullest and never let anyone tell us that we are not capable or good enough.

There are so many takeaways from this book, great discussions and deep insights. There is one line I really like out of the many I highlighted is “ℐ 𝓌𝑜𝓃’𝓉 𝒻𝒾𝓍 𝓎𝑜𝓊. 𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝒹𝑜𝓃’𝓉 𝒶𝒸𝓉𝓊𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 𝓃𝑒𝑒𝒹 𝓉𝑜 𝒷𝑒𝒻𝒾𝓍𝑒𝒹! - such a powerful and meaningful line.

Overall I liked this book, it’s definitely worth a read and I would highly recommend it to everyone, especially to women.

Such a thrilling read! It gripped me from the very beginning and still it didn’t let me go. I’m in awe, the ending was crazy and so surprising I definitely didn’t see it coming! There was so many incredibly clever twists in this book, it was like an emotional roller coaster.

I’m so in love with Sarah J. Mass’s writing, her characters are brilliant, well written and has such complex back stories. I love Celaena, Chaol and Dorian so much and of course Flatfoot. I can’t wait to read Heir of Fire to see what happens with them next and read about their adventures. This series is so action packed and I’m loving every second of it!

I’m genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed and loved this book, the characters the storyline and everything, truly captivated and impressed me.

I already feel so close to the characters, Celaena is an incredibly strong main character, I just love her so much!

I started this book not knowing anything about the story other than the main character is an assassin so I didn’t have any expectations going into the series. I’m so happy that I finally decided to start this series because I am already in love with it! I had the most incredible time reading this book going through so many emotions. I am extremely excited to continue with the series and see where the journey goes.

I highly highly recommend reading this series to any fantasy lovers!
