I cannot say enough good things about these three books but alas I shall try without any spoilers!

I highly recommend all of these and if they are already in your tbr then I suggest bumping them to the top!

One Dark Window 4.5 ⭐️ This was a super unique world to me that felt a lot different than so many of the romance fantasy I read. Our FMC is so cool and I loved reading from her pov. The magic is unique and I love how it’s explained with the cards. There is no spice but the romance & tension are great. I did see the ending coming pretty early on (my friend did not however!) but that didn’t stop me from loving the story as much as I did and I will be picking up book 2 immediately!!

Riftborne 5 ⭐️ I would rate this book even higher if I could. I read this earlier this month and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. I honestly loved the magic and world building. It’s a fae book without being a fae book which was refreshing. The characters felt real to me and I really related to the FMC. Our MMC is HOT. I need to talk to someone asap. I have theories. Also THE ENDING. Might be best plot twist of the entire year for me. I’m planning a reread with my book club and can’t wait to look for hints because it actually had me gasping. Begging and crying for book 2 to come out.

A Broken Blade 5⭐️ I read this in one sitting. I seriously couldn’t put it down! It was a super fun read with a diverse cast. Our FMC is a badass assassin with a tragic backstory and her character development is AMAZING. At times she reminded me of our queen Celena from TOG. Wonderful slow burn with our MMC. The tropes are done well. I also really loved the side characters, and the world overall. Another incredible cliffhanger ending that had me placing an order for book 2 the second I finished it.
