    Groan’s now NEEDS a broomstick!

    If you wanted to know why witches carry brooms, well…this book will explain everything.

    The story follows a college age witch who it seems no one has really trained. She’s assumed to be “bad” at magic. She get’s accepted to a witch-like college where she accidentally enchants a broom

    So obviously this only works with enchanted brooms. Must find a witch now to enchant my broom.

    This is F/F story as the broom identifies as female. Smut scenes are steamy and the broom really knows what it’s doing *smirk*

  • Bewitched on Werewolf Way By E. G. Verot

    Bewitched on Werewolf Way by E.G. Verot Book 1

    This post contains affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase through these links at no extra cost to you

    This was a book suitable for both Groan and Barnibus which means you can read it too. No excuses!

    Yeah yeah, Groan is a smut hoe and will always tell you MORE SMUT that’s just who he is. This story has beginner level spice. Still open door, just like Hallmark movie type if they have spice in those movies. We don’t know.

    For our (ro)fantasy and scifi loving lyndworm it was the cutest most coziest monster romance he’d ever read.

    We don’t really know what Hallmark is, but it gives Hallmark movie vibes.

    There’s a witch and her other monster friends who give like 90’s girl coven vibes who have this dream of building a monster town. How cute, right?!

    Well, somehow (you’ll have to read the book) a werewolf comes along who falls fast and hard for this witch girl. Might be fated mates, I guess you have to read.

    Anyways, it’s about them falling for each other and building this town while also fighting bad guys. No big deal.

    See cute and cozy!

    The town of Blackthorn Valley is also very cute and we’d like to live there some day too

  • State of Fear by Michael Crichton

    State of Fear by Michael Crichton

    State of Fear by Michael Crichton

    We DNF’d (Did Not Finish)this book because it’s nothing but climate denialism and painting eco-terrorist as the bad guys.

    Not sure what happen to him at the end of his career to get him to write this.

    I wonder if he would still be a climate denialist today?!

    Anyways, DNF like we did

  • Lightlust by Laewyn Finch

    Lightlust by Laewyn Finch

    Lightlust by Laewyn Finch Book 2 of The Shorline Chronicles

    This is book two in The Shorline Chronicles.

    Each book thus far has been different meaning themes and main characters are different in each story. However, they all are part of the same universe/town so these two characters you have seen/heard about in book 1 Sundust.

    Book two follows Pearson the MMC and Skyl the FMC (who is also a vampire). The book shows us their relationship unfold. In this unfolding we get to work through Skyla’s trauma of being a vampire who needs to feed.

    You’ll absolutely fall in love with Pearson *swoon* because we have. It is a medium level spice, for us at least. Their life is drama and you’ll feel like you’re part of their world, or at least part of the Shorline community.

    It is kind of slow, but not in a bad way more in an indie romcom movie sort of way because we’re watching two people fall in love with each other and admit it.

    The two main characters from book 1 make an appearance in Lightlust which adds to not only continuity, but also that you’re part of Shorline.

    If you want a vampire romance story that feels like real life or at least like it could happen to anyone and you like golden retriever type dudes this book is for you.

    If you like science and find yourself as one of those “STEM girlies” then you will love this story.

    Our FMC is quite the scientist and she shows us in her meticulous field notes. I suggest reading the field notes as they are humorous and get increasingly more on unhinged.

    There is a boyfriend (Brent) and you will hate him, a lot, and then laugh at him. He is the comic relief of the story. Every story needs one of those.

    Don’t worry it’s no cheating because she’s going to break up with him anyways…you decide.

    The FMC obviously follows the big foot for science purposes, duh! She didn’t know it would be a fated mates type of thing.

    There is also a language barrier if you’re into that trope. We are and love it ❤

    Also, this book does a good job of not leaving out how sore, raw, in need of some cooling water a vagina may be after a night with big foot. Still no word about if UTI’s are a thing maybe that’s in a different book.

    The book does have a HEA kind of ending, but also eludes to a book two with a maybe different cryptid.

  • Mushy Stuff by Lyra Lorne

    Mushy Stuff by Lyra Lorne

    This post contains affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase through these links at no extra cost to you

    You will fall in love with the world of Lydia and Wold. Especially Wold, the guardian * heart eyes*

    When you think of mushrooms and glowing things we hope, like us, you think of Wold 🙂

    Wolds job is to protect the land from humans, but obviously fails when Lydia stumbles onto his land. He does show her what he does to humans *wink* JK only to her

    It has the makings of a monster romantasy, but doesn’t go deeper into the magic systems or the politics of the world and fae. Oh yeah, there are fae in this story and they’re the bad guys. We kind of like that.

    The spice is immediate so if you don’t like that then why are you reading monster romances? Go get therapy Cheryl and leave our monsters alone! He has a special eggplant, another reason why Cheryl needs to leave.

    The descriptive language of the world will leave you feeling as if you are part of their world or that you want to be part of it. We assume we live there now.

    There is even a bonus story, Knot Without My Mate

    Knot without my Mate a bonus story in Mushy Stuff by Lyra Lorne

    Which follows the story of two side characters from Mushy Stuff who we meet in the fae castle. Their story is a bit darker and centers around the theme of survivor and the trauma associated with being a sexual assault survivor.

    The bonus story does add to the main story line of Mushy Stuff as we see their lives intermingle in Knot without my Mate.

    Human Nature by Bonnibelle Angelica

    Human Nature by Bonnibelle Angelica book 1 of the Status Quo Saga

    This post contains affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase through these links at no extra cost to you

    You cry once and then you rage really well once and maybe are frustrated a few times in between. After reading the world and the characters stay with you ❤

    Human Nature is. beautifully crafted world that will leave you wanting more. There is some reminiscence of Hugh Howey’s Silo series with the existence of “bunker” people and a hierarchy structure or class division existing within the bunker. There’s potentially secrets within this upper class, but one thing is obvious, they dislike those below them in the hierarchy system.

    There is a thread of young love ( 19 year olds) which propels the story making this a scifi-romance or a dystopiance….a dystopian romance. There are a few open-door scenes however, they are of the beginner spice scenes. Your grandma could read it and be fine. If the spice was gone it would be a strong YA story .

    There is life above ground with humans and creatures. Almost as if life continuous to find a way even after disaster.

    Bonnibelle Angelica is a new and up and coming scifi author. This is their first novel and it’s worth giving a try. Especially if you like world building, science, and disability representation

    It’s Kinktober for a reason 🙂

    This one focuses on exhibitionism a little voyeurism and of course there’s some worshipping and praise…all the things we love for October *smirk*

    This is a human-alien romance so we’ve got a double peen situation, ribbed for her pleasure of course.

    The story is fantastic and feels like a novella that is part of a larger universe. Let’s hope there is more to come from this world 🙂

    You will fall hard for chicken in this Hallmarkesque story.

    Ghostlight Falls is a small town, but there’s some drama in this story. Two men fight for one woman, well….towards the end they do.

    Alice, the chicken becomes your new bestfriend.

    You’ll also learn to confront your past and rebuild those wounds into a new bright future with your chicken mate…boyfriend…lover…chicken-man

    There is a special eggplant so you’ll need to read to find out what kind, but don’t worry it’s not too graphic. More on the beginner spice side. Suitable for your grandma who hasn’t seen a special eggplant
