The Maid and Crocodile by Jordan Ifueko A Pirates Life for Tea by Rebecca Thorne A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft Januaries by Olivie Blake The Honey Witch by Sydney J Shields
Au Pair Affair by Tessa Bailey Blood Orchid by Kylie Lee Baker Daydream by Hannah Kaner Darker by Four by June CL Tan Lore of the Wilds by Analeigh Sbrana
Blythe Hawthorne has never let anyone tell her what to do—not society, not her overprotective father, and certainly not the man she’s bound herself to, no matter how rude and insufferable he is. In fact, she’s determined to be a thorn in his side for the rest of her days, even as he ensures that her life in his palace is anything but a fairytale. But as Blythe discovers a new side of herself linked to his past, she’ll have to decide if she’s willing to let an unexpected spark ignite…and to discover the truth about who she really is.
This trilogy has become one of my faves ever and Wisteria was soooo good!
We know that Blythe married Fate, aka Aris, to save Signa and they end up in Wisteria, Fate’s cold house with all it’s secrets.
Both really don’t want this marriage and they decide to be an annoyance to each other – it was v amusing! What transpires is beautiful!
Blythe did get on my nerves in the last book but I actually loved her in this one but Aris stole the show for me, loved him and his sewing!
I did wonder if there was another book coming because of that ending but I dont think there is and, having thought about it, I actually love that ending!
The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer It’s a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received.
Hope you’ve had a good week!
This week I got a new phone and it totally mucked up the authenticators for my 2 work laptops (don’t ask why I have 2!!!) so I spent a stressful couple of days, including a trip to the office, to try and get it sorted. One still doesn’t work!
I did have a fab reading week though, 2 brilliant books read!

This week’s forgotten book is: Seven Faceless Saints by MK Lobb
I got this book in March 2023 in my Fairyloot box – there goes my pledge to read my book box books in 2 months!!!!
In the city of Ombrazia, saints and their disciples rule with terrifying and unjust power, playing favorites while the unfavored struggle to survive.
After her father’s murder at the hands of the Ombrazian military, Rossana Lacertosa is willing to do whatever it takes to dismantle the corrupt system—tapping into her powers as a disciple of Patience, joining the rebellion, and facing the boy who broke her heart. As the youngest captain in the history of Palazzo security, Damian Venturi is expected to be ruthless and strong, and to serve the saints with unquestioning devotion. But three years spent fighting in a never-ending war have left him with deeper scars than he wants to admit… and a fear of confronting the girl he left behind.
Now a murderer stalks Ombrazia’s citizens. As the body count climbs, the Palazzo is all too happy to look the other way—that is, until a disciple becomes the newest victim. With every lead turning into a dead end, Damian and Roz must team up to find the killer, even if it means digging up buried emotions. As they dive into the underbelly of Ombrazia, the pair will discover something more sinister—and far less holy. With darkness closing in and time running out, will they be able to save the city from an evil so powerful that it threatens to destroy everything in its path?
A stolen love. A strangled curse. A heart of sin. And a fate touched in moonlight.
My men weave a tangled web around my soul, and I’ve formed a pack that will go to death and back for me.
The moon hangs low over my heart as the call of the endless sky draws me closer and I find myself lost in the abyss that was waiting for me out here.
Fate has left a bitter taste on my tongue, the haunting echoes of the past mocking me at every turn. But I’m not a pup anymore. And I won’t let another ten years pass without mending the rift in my heart.
Darkness draws near enough to devour me but I have forged a pack of wild creatures at my back and I won’t be pulled into the grip of despair.
I’ll find the stars in this endless night and force them to hear me howl.
I am Rosalie Oscura and I will claim my happy ending, even if I have to claw it from the hands of destiny itself.
After the (frankly) shocking ending of the last book, I needed this!
Back with Rosa, Sin, Ethan, Cain, Roary and don’t forget Hastings!
The fight is on to save Roary, put an end to Darv Enterpise’s plans (IYKYK!) and not end up back in Darkmore.
I really enjoyed this conclusion but admit I was really looking forward to an Ethan and Ryder reunion but we didn’t get it, not my story to tell I guess!
There was one part of the story that made my heart sing, all I’ll say is that it involved Sin! He needed it, really needed it!
I think we got a glimpse of Caleb and Seth….but I’m not sure and loved seeing Max again!
I’ll leave you with a couple of quotes that I felt in my soul:
‘I think it’s the kind layered in scars. That’s what makes you fit in with us. We’re all broken on the inside.’
‘Se io sono la luna, allora tu sei la forza che mi sostiene……if I am the moon then you are the force that holds me up.’
