I'm absolutely devouring this book! The world-building is incredible, and the tension between Violet and Xaden has me turning pages well past my bedtime. I'm expecting things to heat up even more as I get deeper into the story.

Current Thoughts:

Nesta's journey is so different from Feyre's, and I'm loving the complexity of her character. The training scenes with Cassian are both physically and emotionally intense! This book definitely has more explicit content than the earlier books in the series.

Reading: "Beach Read" by Emily Henry

I'm halfway through and absolutely loving it! The tension between the two writers is *chef's kiss* and the discussions about genre fiction vs literary fiction are so well done.

Reading: "Seven Days in June" by Tia Williams

This second-chance romance is hitting me right in the feels. The writing is gorgeous, and I love how it explores the creative process alongside the romance.

@Marcus - Seven Days in June is one of my all-time favorites! The chemistry between Eva and Shane is incredible. Have you read any of Tia Williams' other books?

Just started this boarding school romance after seeing it all over BookTok, and I'm already hooked! The enemies-to-lovers dynamic is so well done.
