I have embarked on a brand new series Gods & Monsters starting with The Book of Azrael by Amber V Nicole. I never thought I would be committing myself to a long romantasy series but here I am again. I am having a great time with this unique new world. So here is my review of this Booktok fave!
A fast-paced psychological thriller, The Housemaid lures you in with its deceptively simple premise and captivates you with its crazy storyline. While some tropes feel familiar, Freida McFadden’s execution, sharp, sinister, and satisfyingly unhinged, makes this a ride that’s hard to put down. However, is it worth the hype? Read the review and find out.
Yellowface is one of those books that makes you cringe, laugh, and spiral, often all in the same chapter. What I thought would be a straightforward narrative quickly unraveled into sharp satire, complete with an unhinged and wildly unreliable narrator. Kuang doesn’t just tell a story, she holds up a mirror to the publishing industry, to whiteness, to us. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and deeply self-aware in the best way possible.
Not every book lives up to the hype! I read Verity so you don’t have to—and I’m spilling the truth. Was it worth the read, or should you skip it? Find out in this brutally honest review before adding to your TBR list!
