A Cursed Love Myths of Airren Book 3 written by Jenny Hickman | A Book Review

***This is a review of an ARC sample audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review***

I did not want to finish this book. I started listening to this audiobook in January and February is about to end. The world of Airren is so amazing plus the characters were so fun that I wanted to listen to them bicker again and again.

A Cursed Love is the third book in the series of Myths of Airren written by Jenny Hickman. This book focused on the 4 characters from the past books. Tadhg and Keelynn, Aveen and Rían plus one pooka named Ruairi. The story revolves around these silly amazing characters and their struggles for their love and relationships then the blight that is ravaging their lands and last but not least the looming threat of the phantom Queen who is after them all. Here is a brief synopsis of the book;

Meanwhile, Aveen and Rían grapple with personal demons and the vengeance of the Phantom Queen, leaving peace elusive.
The fall of the Princes of Tearmann is inevitable as the Queen closes in, demanding a high price for defiance.
In Tearmann, a deadly blight threatens the Danú people. Tadhg and Keelynn must halt their advance to save what remains.

MY REVIEW
First of all thanks to Netgalley for letting me have this amazing audiobook. The narrators were amazing as they efficiently portrayed the feelings and emotions behind the dialogues. This book explored so many tropes that my head spun but it was a good thing because this made it interesting. I do not want to spoil but some spoilers are a given otherwise this review will be bland.

So, first of all, Keelyn and Tadgh are awesome together. Keelyin has woken up from her curse and now she is engaged to be married to Tadgh certain situations arise that are serious but their reaction and their whole persona change which makes that situation comical. Tadgh is a powerful fae prince but when it comes to Keelyn he is such an insecure baby. I could not stop laughing at those scenes where Tadgh was struggling and instead of dealing with the love child situation head-on he just gets drunk and hides in the broom closet....like literally...😂...you gotta read it it was funny as hell.

Then Our second couple of the series. Aveen and Rian.....I don't know where to start...both are stubborn as hell and stupid as hell too. Rian is mad and sour throughout the whole book, manipulates Aveen, refuses to train her, then put a lock on her magic, avoids her like the plague, and then gets jealous when other men come into her life...like boy get a grip 🤷. Then the situation with Leesha happens and not Aveen is heartbroken and mad at him and leaves him. But things happen after that.....

Rian's personality is fecking amazing 😅. The way he was enjoying the situation of Tadgh. He was that person if I am not happy no one should be happy.

My ex-wife and soon to be sister in law for the 100th time 😂😂😂

I think I like Rian more. He was grumpy almost in all of the chapters.

Just what this castle needed more giggles......

I would find somewhere else to live somewhere dark and dark like my mood...

I love those scenes when Tadgh and Rian taking care of the baby. It was effing hilarious. And one scene also worth mentioning when Rian was shifted into Aveen and went to meet with the Pirate.....that scene was 🧑‍🍳😙🤌......The way Rian become a Diva all of a sudden ❤. On the whole the book was awesome. I would recommend it.

I just finished On Wings of Blood arc....and now I am here to write the review. the book is written by Briar Boleyn and Thank you to Netgally and the author for this arc. iSo, let's start the review BLURB I didn't sign up for this. A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That's a recipe for torment. I'm Medra Pendragon—last of the dragon riders, or so they tell me. Funny thing is, there are no dragons left. Not a single one. But somehow, that hasn't stopped the vampires from deciding I'm worth capturing. Now I'm stuck at Bloodwing Academy, where the highbloods run everything and blightborn like me? We're just blood in their veins, pawns in their games. But that's not even the worst part. Enter Blake Drakharrow. Cold, arrogant, and way too gorgeous for his own good. He's been tormenting me since the moment we met, and now, thanks to some ancient ritual, we're betrothed. He acts like h...

A Critical Lens on 'Hunting Adeline' by H.D. Carlton: Exploring the Disturbing Themes | A Review

I kept delaying writing the review because I had to remember it and didn't want to do that. This 2nd book of Cat and Mouse duet is the story of a human trafficking survivor. This book is a huge TRIGGER WARNING . Kindly proceed with caution. I even got traumatized after reading it. So to explain the synopsis; Adeline (the main character) got kidnapped at the end of the first book and sold to some people who groomed her for some very rich and powerful clients. Almost half of the book is based on Adeline surviving the worst situations possible for a woman. Adeline had one advantage someone was fervently searching for her, and eventually, Zade managed to rescue her after four agonizing months. The scene when Zade finds her and she just could not believe it. She crumbled to her knees thinking she was hallucinating. After Zade brings her home she struggles so hard to process her trauma. She learns to fight to take control of her life. She gets close to her mother. She hates h...

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

Where is Molly is a stand alone book written by H.D Carlton. It is set in the Universe of Haunting Adeline. The story revolves around Molly...the girl we found in Hunting Adeline. Her diary was founded by Adeline under the floor and us readers always wanted to know if she succeeded in running away from that awful place. Blurb A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet... “Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?” In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast. It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly. Important No...
