Review:
This book was actually better than I thought it would be. I decided to go with the audiobook version for this one which made for a pretty good time. The narrator was AWESOME and easily made Gitty my favorite character. She’s a ghost by the way… The plot itself took a little bit for me to fall into since it is about the southern belle/ debutante lifestyle, (which I didn’t think was still a thing) but once I figured out that it absolutely is still a thing today I was able to put myself in a “fly on the wall” mindset and really immerse myself in the story.
Overall, I really liked this one. I felt for poor (literally) Sarah Booth being in the predicaments she found herself in. Especially at the end. I just wanted to give her a hug. Le sigh… The mystery part of the story actually caught me off guard. I thought I had it figured out, but was completely thrown for a loop when the big reveal was… well… revealed lol
I’ll have to read/listen to the rest of the books in this series. If this first book is anything to go off of, I’m sure I’ll have a good time.

It’s been so long since I’ve done it so you’ve got my vote!
Hi ladies! This, plus it helps me to kinda sorta break down my Mt. TBR. Kinda sorta because I’ll read the first book in the series and wind up adding the remainder of the series to said mountain lol
I’m down!
Oh! Do I still need to put up my review for the last shelf I finished?
Lol! Glad to hear it!!😊
Congrats Team 2!! Well done!!
Awww… I didn’t even realize it was over already! But I’m looking forward to the next one. I hope your husband is doing better Kathy!
This one took a while for me to make a decision, but I’ll be going with book 2 from my shelf 2 pick:

😈 Title: Speak of the Demon by Stacia Stark
😈 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
😈 Pages: 352
😈 Completed: 5.23.23
😈 Shelf: Fae
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I love a strong heroine who’s capable of holding her own. I also love when sass and sarcasm is her language of choice. This book has that in SPADES! It’s also awesome when the male lead doesn’t treat the FMC like some fragile thing (even though he just wants to wrap her up and keep her safe).
This was very well written with fully fleshed characters, excellent world building and LOADS of action and tension. I’m super excited to see how Danica deals with her new reality.
This was a new author for me, but I’ll definitely be finishing this series and picking up some of her other works. I’m loving it so far.
For this shelf I’ll be reading:
Speak of the Demon by Stacia Stark
Pages: 352
(Found on Fae shelf. Shelved 27 times as fae.)
Title: Awakened by Sennah Tate
Page #: 243

So this story started out pretty good. The world building was on point, character descriptions were excellent… everything was set for a great read. But then it just fell off. The plot itself is solid, but the flow became so choppy. It jumped around so much I got virtual whiplash. It’s like the story was running too long so they needed to rush it to get to the conclusion in a certain number of pages, or to meet a deadline. I’d have happily read more pages if it meant getting a better flowing story. I’m intrigued by the plot though so that’s the only thing that’s keeping me going with the remainder of this series. Here’s hoping the rest of the books don’t have more of that otherwise I may have to stop at book 2. 🤞🏾
Title: Next Door Dragon Daddy by Roxie Ray
Page #: 526
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Completed: 5.10.23
Not a bad read at all. It was very well written with lots of intense moments. The world building was excellent and made it so I could easily put myself in the story. I liked the plot and how spunky the FMC was. The smexy times were pretty steamy, but didn’t take anything away from the story.
Overall, a really good start to the series. I look forward to reading the remaining books.
