Quills and Pages | Your Gateway to Great Reads

What's Up, Readers!! Welcome to Quills and Pages! I am back with another amazing read today. A Dance of Lies by Brittney Arena. Think on this..... If “Black Swan” waltzed into a Game of Thrones , dressed in espionage and draped in slow-burn betrayal, you’d get something like A Dance of Lies . BLURB My protector is gone, revealed to be a monster. But I remind myself that I am not a damsel. I’m no princess bound within a tower. I am a shadow. Vasalie Moran was once a dancer in King Illian’s court, until he framed her for murder. Barely surviving her two years in the dungeons, she’s suddenly called to face her king. He offers her a deal: become his spy at the six-week royal Gathering and he’ll grant her freedom. As Illian’s orders grow bloody and dangerous, forcing her to harm and betray those around her, Vasalie discovers that the monster she serves may be aligned with a bigger monster—one far closer to home. With her world threatened, Vasalie enlists the help of Illian’s brother an...

Thank you for your support! So I was craving to read a mystery, cozy, cottage core type of book and I was trying to search some of these categories to find the perfect book. I posted on  TikTok  so people might give me some suggestions. A booktok friend  suggested reading  House of Salt and Sorrows . She said it is not cottage core but it is mysterious and interesting. I said why not let's do it. I started reading and finished it in 2 days and here is what I think about it.  I started reading it without even reading anything on Goodreads . I usually read reviews when I start a book just so I could indulge my brain t...

Thank you for your support! Just finished reading Belladona the first book in the series written by Adalyn Grace. This book just blew my mind...lol... am still living in the book and I thought the best thing to do is to just write my thoughts down before I forget. This book is the definition of a cozy murder mystery with a tad bit touch of horror. Let's get into the details!!! P.S. Just look at the cover....it's so beautiful smh!!!! Blurb Orphaned as a baby, nineteen-year-old Signa has been raised by a string of guardians, each one more interested in her wealth than her well-being—and each has met an untimely end. Her remaining relatives...

Finale is the last book in the series of Craval written by Stephanie Garber . She is one of my favorite authors. I would read anything she writes. This final book is no less than epic, to be honest. I have been putting this review off for so long because of many reasons. Today I decided to finally write it. So let's dive right in.  BLURB A love worth fighting for. A dream worth dying for. An ending worth waiting for. It’s been two months since the Fates were freed from a deck of cards, two months since Legend claimed the throne for his own, and two months since Tella discovered the boy she fell in love with doesn’t really exist. With lives, empires, and hearts hanging in the balance, Tella must decide if she’s going to trust Legend or a former enemy. After uncovering a secret that upends her life, Scarlett will need to do the impossible. And Legend has a choice to make that will forever change and define him. Caraval is over, but perhaps the greatest game of all has begun. There a...

Evangeline Fox ventured to the Magnificent North in search of her happy ending, and it seems as if she has it. She’s married to a handsome prince and lives in a legendary castle.
