The Hurricane Wars (The Hurricane Wars, #1)

THE HURRICANE WARS by Thea Guanzon is an extraordinary fantasy debut that takes readers on an exhilarating journey into a world torn apart by magic and warfare. Talasyn, a young woman with rare light powers, and Alaric, the Prince of the Night Empire with formidable Shadow magic, are compelling protagonists with their own strengths and vulnerabilities. Their electrifying enemies-to-lovers dynamic adds depth and intensity to the story. While the book's initial world-building might seem a bit slow, once you become immersed in the characters and their witty banter, it's a captivating ride. The constant back-and-forths, snarky comments, and begrudging compliments make the heart sing. Talasyn's fierceness and bravery, contrasted with Alaric's hidden sweetness, create a fascinating and dynamic pairing. As the first installment in a trilogy, THE HURRICANE WARS leaves readers hanging with a thirst for more. The anticipation for the next book in the series is a testament to the author's skill in crafting a story. Great read!

Review: Fight For Her by Liz Plum

Fight For Her by Liz Plum My rating: 3 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! FIGHT FOR HER by Liz Plum is a coming-of-age YA Romance. It is an easy-going story about a love triangle between a popular girl, a star athlete, and a bad boy. The story was interesting and had some potential. It was just a bit too juvenile for my taste and sometimes too dramatic. It is nonetheless an enjoyable love story if you put your teenager's thinking cap on. The author delivered a good story with a lovely ending. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #fightforher #lizplum #bookreview View all my reviews

Review: Waves by Ingrid Chabbert

Waves by Ingrid Chabbert My rating: 5 of 5 stars WAVES, written by Ingrid Chabbert and beautifully illustrated by Carole Maurel, is a deeply personal and poetic graphic novel that explores the profound journey of a young couple trying to conceive. Drawing from the author's own experience, the story delves into the emotional depths of heartbreak, resilience, and the power of hope. The use of metaphors in Waves is exceptional, creating a mesmerizing reading experience. Chabbert skillfully weaves together the themes of writing, coping, and healing, forming a profound connection between the protagonist's pain and her quest for renewal. The dreamlike illustrations by Carole Maurel add an ethereal touch to the narrative, particularly in the visual depiction of the boat and waves of paper. While the subject matter is emotionally intense, WAVES is an extraordinary work that invites readers to embrace vulnerability and contemplate the complexities of life. I highly recommend this gra
