Would you like nonfiction crime stories? Conspiracy stories? I have that for you! Plus, one book I read in totality but did not (and will not) rate and why that happened. Enjoy!

What a warm hug! | The Wake Up Call ARC Review

I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy this one because I was told it was lighter fare than O’Leary’s usual. Well, it is, but don’t let that stop you from checking this one out because it feels like a warm hug when you read it!

Middle book problems | The Rebel King ARC Review

Cruel Seduction by Katee Robert ARC Review| Betwixt the Books Reviews

Wherein Michaela and I ramble at you about why this probably isn’t our favorite Dark Olympus book but maybe it will be yours. By no means was this a bad book but we want more from Katee and maybe the next one will have what we are looking for!
