4.0
๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง was a fast-paced adventurous young adult epic fantasy novel. Full of plot twists, a beautiful friendship between Jemma and Edgar and very vivid world-building. The story was beautifully written, it was easy to get lost in this unique world and the atmosphere was exquisite.
I highly recommend it to fantasy lovers!

Ahh the cliffhanger is killing me!
I need to be honest, the beginning of the book was super slow paced I felt like itโs just the same story as the first book in this trilogy was. I needed around 40% to really get into the book, true to told I started reading this book on January 31 and because I just didnโt enjoyed that much at the beginning I put the book down at the time. Iโm really glad that I picked it back up though.
Overall I enjoyed the story, it was very dark and gripping, definitely kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. I feel like I enjoyed this book-Azazelโs story more than Nataliaโs book which I now doesnโt show on my rating since I rated the previous book 4 stars and I decided on a 2.5 stars for this one.

๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ข๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ง๐ is a mysterious, engaging and entertaining novel. If you enjoy dark academia then I can assure you, youโll love this book.
A magical school, a missing girl and a new student who takes her place. So many exciting moments, puzzles and intrigue. I never knew who to trust so honestly I just didnโt trusted anyone. I loved how everything revealed itself towards the end, there was so many twists, I truly had a fun time!
Perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Academy of Breath and Fire and One of Us is Lying.

This book is the best example of an emotional rollercoaster. ๐ข
Packed with jaw-dropping plot twists, emotional, sometimes infuriating moments until you donโt know the truth. I just knew it would end on a cliffhanger by how the story was goingโฆ Ahh I need the sequel right now!
I absolutely loved the strong female protagonist Maren she was incredible. Kye on the other hand, well I have a love-hate relationship with him. First I loved him, then hated him, and now Iโm loving him all over again. Like I said a true emotional rollercoaster.
โKeep your hands off my wife.โ Ahh I melted reading this line! ๐ฅตโค๏ธโ๐ฅ
I highly recommend reading this beautiful story to fans of โMoanaโ and โThe Little Mermaidโ ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ๐๐ถ

The book ended up so abruptly I was shocked. I hope there will be a sequel to it as this one ended very much open, I would love to read more about these wonderful characters and continue their stories.

Ahhh I absolutely loved this twisted, dark and erotic horror novel! A masked main male character who is a psychopath, an insane twist, gore, brutality and lots of trigger warnings! Could not imagine a better novel, Iโm so obsessed with Crave and Raeโs characters and relationship they are so unique and this is just such a phenomenal story. Iโm in so in love with this entire book! Iโve previously read Skin by Audrey and loved and Iโm so happy that I finally picked up My Girl as well. I seriously cannot wait to dive into another novel by the author. This definitely is a new favorite book of mine!
If you love erotic horror with lots of trigger warnings then I highly highly recommend picking this fantastic novel up!
A Matador by Borsa Brown

3.0
I need to be honestโฆ the beginning caught me by surprise that the main characters were children, they were ten in the beginning. They grew up together, we could read about their childhood together and how they came from different worlds. A typical rich girl, poor boy scenario. So basically the girlโs parents banned him from being friends with the girl and he did so without telling the girl why they stopped being friendsโฆ
I expected them to be adults based on the title of the book and I thought there would be a lot of spice in the book. Since โSpanish Fireโ is what the series called. But this was more of a coming of age novel where they found themselves. They were only sixteen which definitely wasnโt what I expected going into the story. I feel misled by how the book was promoted and how it seemed it would be a spicy and passionate novel between a matador and a dancer... There were definitely some passionate scenes which threw me off guard as they were only sixteen! I donโt knowโฆ I donโt want to read about 16 year olds making love to each otherโฆ
Iโm so conflicted by my feelings towards this book because what it was I really enjoyed it but it definitely wasnโt what I expected or wanted going into the storyโฆ In the beginning I was genuinely waiting for them to grow up, I just thought there would be a few chapters from their childhood and then their adulthood. But it never happened, at least in this novel.
There was a thing toward the end. As a vegetarian and animal lover, I understand Rosa and what she did and why but in the same time it was the total betrayal of her father and his beliefs and what he and his elders worked so hard forโฆ Me whose father died when I was eight, I could never understand how Rosa could backstab her own father like that, who literally gave her everything that she could ever asked for.
THE CLIFFHANGER!!! ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ
I need the sequel right nowโฆ.. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Iโm so mad by the ending! I decided to rate the book 3 starsโฆ but overall I very much enjoyed it so please donโt think my rating is negative itโs just my feelings towards the whole novel.
