Hope you’ve had a good week?
Happy July! It feels like this year has flown by already!
Such a busy week, am tired! Work was busy, busier than ever and my Dad fell ill so have been helping my Mum look after him as well.
I think, because of the above, I’m a bit slumpy. I’ve listened to 2 audiobooks this week but can’t seem to bring myself to pick up a physical or ebook!
New Arrivals
Nothing this week!
What I’ve Read
🎧Peregrine Quinn and the Cosmic Realm by Ash Bond ⭐️⭐️⭐️.75
As an Empyreal, Nicole has the ability to kill any deadly supernatural. But if her power ever awakened, the Wake—the organisation that governs supernaturals—would force her to be their loyal huntress. Or kill her, like they did her mother.
To stay safe, Nicole hides in a small university town, convinced the mythological art collection at a local manor contains a final message from her mother. But before she can study it, Kyan McCarter, the Wake’s most skilled Empyreal, arrives on his own hunt. When they discover his prey has stolen a painting for leverage, they’re forced to work together.
As the creature threatens to expose Nicole’s powers, her tenuous alliance with Kyan threatens her heart. If her true identity is revealed, Kyan will hunt her next. No one disobeys The Wake and survives. Especially when the art they’re seeking unveils a conspiracy that would change the lives of creatures and humans forever…
But Nicole may only be able to resist one: her wicked impulses, or a love that could repaint their world. And after a life of hiding her true nature, who could resist the temptation of magic…
Well what a gem this book is!
~ Forbidden romance ~ Sort of enemies to lovers ~ Hidden powers ~ Prophecies ~ Cypher breaking ~ Hidden codes in art ~ Set in Cornwall, UK
Oh this world, this magic system, these fully developed, likeable characters, the romance, everything really!
Loved Nicole but….Kyan…..oh Kyan…..I love him! I know, strange for me!!! And when he says ‘Mo gra’ I nearly cried! That steamy bit at the end had me fanning myself!

Hope you’ve had a good week?
We went to the beach yesterday! The weather was brilliant but the sea was freezing! I did have to stay out of the sun though because of my burns but, despite that, we had a great time!
Work was so busy and stressful again this week, honestly it’s never ending at the moment!

Challenge – Audiobook Challenge – update Feature – Best Books 2024 – halfway! Challenge – Tackle That TBR – update
I love it when a book completely hooks you in, you fall in love with the story, and when you’ve finished, you feel exhilarated!
So I decided to make a list of them! I’ve read 70 books so far this year, and these are the ones I’ve loved (not necessarily released this year, I read then!)
No one is more surprised than me to see more romance books than fantasy!!!
