OMG I did not fully know what I was getting into with this! Jen is just getting back into the dating game after Adam broke up with her. He was no good, anyways so she feels like maybe she shouldn’t be so upset by it. But she does miss certain…parts…of him. But then he calls one day freaking out because he’s dead. Or rather, undead. The story goes wild from there. There is a LOT of smut, so steer clear if you don’t like that. But there was definitely a lot of that story that could have made this a GOOD story, like the ending with the SEO being a thing, and the coven…heck, even the date with Astor. Adam and Jen go through some growth though, and while it may have seemed rushed, we have to remember that they had already been together before! So this was a great, quick read. Fun, but not serious, so please do NOT go into this thinking there is going to be anything serious about it. If you need something to palette cleanse, this is your go to though!

This was seriously so much fun and I was able to read it very quickly on my lunch break, though that just might be because I’m a very fast reader haha. There were definitely some folks out there who thought it wasn’t so good, and maybe they are right, but I’m here for vibes and a good time. I didn’t see any glaring plot holes or anything like that so I appreciated this work for what it was: a good time. Honestly, Adam, after going through his stuff, seemed like a good dude in the end, so I think it worked out for them.

I received a copy of this title in exchange for an honest review, so thank you Ami!

Whew! I missed ALL of February…I meant to read so much but I just…didn’t. I think I needed a break. It does mean I missed out on the challenge for February on Goodreads, but it’s ok, I’m good with that. I did read a few more books in January, and you can find those reviews under my Goodreads Challenge here. Now, on to the first book of March! I feel like I really should have read Go Luck Yourself here, but…oh well.

The Entanglement of Rival Wizards by Sara Raasch

Rating: 5/5 Invisible Nicks

I have already decided that Sara Raasch is a new fave of mine. After meeting her at a book signing for this book specifically…then not reading it right away…to reading her OTHER books first (Go Luck Yourself and Nightmare Before Kissmas)…I am still singularly blown away by how well she makes these characters. They have flaws, they have deep seated (need therapy and go to therapy) issues, and they are all queer and I love it. I love that this was a story of a rivalry (because who doesn’t love that) between two guys (a half fae and a human) taking place in college between grad students (who I know from some second hand experience are stressed TF OUT) but also a rivalry between morality…or is it? That last part is crazy, and it’s certainly where something like “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” would certainly come into play.

We meet our human, Sebastian, as he is getting ready to compete for a grant, and his competitor is Elthior Taurel, of the infamous Taurel family who is…decidedly not nice in this world. They are from two competing departments, Conjuring and Evocation, who have a long rivalry in the university. Sebastian has had a horrible past with the Taurel family (justifiably so as we later learn) and so his mistrust with Thio is epic. Thio, on the other hand, also has a horrible past with his family…but hasn’t really told anyone about it. The best part? They now have to work together, as they BOTH get the grant. Will they overcome their own obstacles? Or will their project blow up in their faces?

Considering its a romance, we all pretty much know it’s a HEA, but watching them get there was the most fun and worthwhile journey. We meet Orok, Seb’s bestie and their dynamic is so sweet. Oh and I can’t forget Nick! I wish there was more of him, tbh. I can’t wait for the next book!
