KappaBooks’s Reviews > The Secret Romantic's Book of Magic > Status Update

Good Deeds and Their Magical Punishments by Hannah Nicole Maehrer - 2.5 stars, had good potential, but the characters mainly talked off page and then had sex

i think its just overall hard to convince me of a whole romance in like 20-30 pages, plus add fantasy world building

San’t Marten’s Book of Mild Melancholy by A.G. Slatter - 3 stars. the worldbuilding vibes were good, but the actual romance & secondary plot was barebones/fine

Slay the Princess, Save the Dragon by A. C. Wise - feels pretty out of place as it's basically a YA contemporary, rushed hate to love, but add a dragon in the background

Designated Virgin Sacrifice by Kelley Armstrong - 3.5 stars, bit tongue in cheek but in a way i liked

The King’s Witch by Tasha Suri - 3.75-4 stars. Finally some good food

Until December by Kelly Andrew - 2.75 stars? Unsure. Academic rivals is hard for me because i need to believe they hate each other but will eventually get there. i think i just dont like obsession as the main part of attraction, which most academic rivals to lovers relies on.

The Dubious Ladies of Mirador by Melissa Marr - 2 stars, holy instalove batman!

The Fall Guy - 3 stars; the voice was enjoyable sometimes, other times it got in the way of understanding. I appreciated the colonialism discussion tho
