I love horror anthologies and I remember loving the first volume in this zodiac based anthology series and while I didnโt get around reading the second one yet this was such a great read showcasing 36 zodiac based stories of different talented indie authors.
I highly recommend picking up this wonderful anthology!

Ahh this flowery writing style was so perfect and beautifully executed. I melted reading all the pretty lines.
I knew I will love this book the moment I saw the cover of it. It is literally the most gorgeous piece of art Iโve ever seen and with a title like this!
In horror Iโm usually looking for the gore and extremity but in this one I appreciated every single stunning detail. These short stories were revolving around sapphic relationships and motherhood. They were enchanting and dark. It was obvious to me how talented the author is. Iโm so excited to read more by this wonderful writer in the future. If you love unapologetic female characters, prose like writing that is easy to understand and fall in love with then please donโt hesitate to pick up this novel. It was truly brilliant!
The story called โThe summoningโ was absolutely hilarious, even the writing felt so different and fun.
My favorite story of this collection was โTwo truths and a lieโ I absolutely loved both the storyline and the writing style.

The ending!? I wish I could continue reading with volume 5 immediately.
I know this is a very dark story and definitely not for everyone but I really enjoy this series, Iโm so invested with the storyline and I care about the two main character so deeply. This was such a great volume, I couldnโt put it down and read it in one sitting.

Aww Iโm in love with Ryke! โค๏ธโ๐ฅ
Heโs so perfect and protective of Daisy, he would do literally anything for her.
Love Daisy so much as well, they are so perfect for each other. A perfect match.
The prologue was so heartbreaking and deep.
Iโm not exactly sure how much later this book is set after the previous โKiss the Skyโ, after the reality show. But it was so so good!
Ahhh my emotions was so intense, I was gasping and laughing with joy. I absolutely loved this book, loved reading about one of my favorite couples in this series, Daisy and Ryke.
I usually donโt tend to enjoy friends to lovers but this is definitely an exception. I loved every single second of this one! Daisy is such an amazing character and her blooming relationship with Ryke was the most perfect story to read. Their banter and chemistry is so strong. Ryke loved Daisy for years!
This is my favorite of the series so far and โAddicted for Nowโ. So excited to continue this journey. Love these characters so much, theyโre family to me. ๐ฅน๐

๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ค ๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ญ is an emotional and tense story of a divorce. A resilient and loving motherโs journey who keeps fighting for her children no matter what.
I really enjoyed this book, it truly felt like a real life story. Everything that Ria was going through and how strong she still was after every terrible thing that she experienced was truly the most inspiring thing Iโve read in a long time. If you love books with powerful female characters then Iโm sure youโll love this one!
To all my Hungarian friends out there, donโt hesitate to pick up this wonderful novel. It is truly an excellent novel and I feel so grateful for the author for sending me his new release, in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a sweet and emotional read. Not my favorite of the series but I really enjoyed my time reading it. This was the book that was on my TBR the longest so Iโm just very happy that I finally read it. In the beginning I couldnโt decided for a while if Iโm enjoying the story or not but it definitely turned into a really nice read. Roseโs personality reminds me of myself, it was nice to read their and Connorโs relationship deepen throughout the novel. I loved when Rose and Connor spoke French with each other, it was like their own little secret language.
I love Lily and Lo so much and their relationship, Lilyโs literally the sweetest and Lo is the most perfect boyfriend. My other favorite character is definitely Ryke but I truly love all of them.
On the other hand I hated Scott so much, he was such a terrible person, his character truly infuriated me.
The ending was so sweet. Iโm very excited to pick up the next book in the series, itโs Daisyโs and Rykeโs story. Ahh I canโt wait!
The Girl with Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee, David John
The most saddest part was to know that this is her true story. That all of these unspeakable things happened to her. I canโt even imagine how difficult her life was as a young girl growing up in North Korea. It was like reading a fictional story, I didnโt wanted to believe that it can be real. It definitely made me even more grateful for how amazing and easy of a childhood I had. Of course I had my own battles as a kid but nothing like things discussed in the book.

A raw, and brutally honest tale of courage and an incredible generous help of a stranger that changes everything.

I got so emotional by how beautiful the ending of this story was that I even teared up. She fought so much for her family and freedom, it was truly the most moving and inspiring book.
Itโs feels weird to say that I loved this book, it was difficult to read all the things the authorโs been through but I really enjoyed reading about it and how she overcame her struggles. I highly recommend reading her story to everyone!

The plot twist!? Wow, I definitely did not see that coming.
I was so stressed out towards the end, I cared about these characters too deeply and I didnโt wanted to see them suffer in any way. But I absolutely loved the ending and how everything worked out.
I canโt believe I havenโt read this masterpiece of a book sooner! I absolutely loved everything about this novel, the writing style was so enchanting, the story and characters were fascinating. I was so impressed with this entire book. I definitely have just found a new all time favorite read.
I highly highly recommend reading this brilliant work of art to everyone. I literally just finished it but Iโm sure this book will be on my mind for a long time, I canโt stop thinking about how amazing it was. And the thing is that for some reason I havenโt expected this to be such an impactful five star new all time favorite to me. Itโs truly the best and most special feeling ever when I just pick up a book that been sitting on my shelf for years and finding a new favorite in it.

Iโm so disappointed by this novel. The average rating on Goodreads is 4.5 stars which is so high but I just donโt see howโฆ
The anxiety representation was great and I liked Evemer although he was the only one I cared about. For one more positive thing the cover of the book is also gorgeous and I truly wanted to enjoy this novel but I just felt truly confused by it. There was so many names thrown into the story like the reader should known them already. To me everyone just felt so flat and similar to one another. It was difficult to tell the difference between them.

The ending?! Iโm in shock, shaking with tears in my eyes. I need a third book immediately, I need to know what happens next.
I really enjoyed reading this book, even though there were times when I found Verity too naive and childish for an eighteen year old, I also can see why she was this way. First time being away home and falling love with the first man she encountered. While I didnโt see the connection between them in the beginning, towards the end their relationship developed which I enjoyed to read about.
The writing style like in the first book was mesmerizingly beautiful. Erinโs description and magical and clever approach captivated me. There was so many incredible twists in this novel and scenes where Iโve had goosebumps.
I highly recommend reading this novel even if you havenโt read the first book. Iโve read that one over a year ago but this wasnโt necessarily connected to that one. It can definitely be read as a standalone since it was so different.
