Monster Boyfriend Series by Meg Alivien🐺🧛🏼 Review

 Sometimes you pick up a book because you're looking for something specific. In this case, I was looking for something cozy, a little spooky, and quick to read and that's exactly what I found in the Monster Boyfriend Series by Meg Alivien.

These books feel a bit like Halloweentown meets Hallmark, with just enough spice to keep things interesting. They’re quick reads that lean into cozy vibes while still delivering monster romance fun.

Book One: Howl ⭐⭐⭐

Howl was a cute introduction to the series. The overall atmosphere was exactly what I hoped for. Cozy, slightly spooky, and perfect for fall reading.

The romance definitely leans spicy, though the execution felt a little uneven at times. Some scenes were very open-door and detailed, while others shifted from open-door to implication that an act had happened, which made the pacing of those moments feel a little inconsistent.

That said, it was still an enjoyable read. I’d especially recommend it for readers who want a cozy Halloween romance or something lighter between heavier books.


Book Two: Hunt ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I ended up enjoying Hunt quite a bit more than the first book. The themes landed better for me and the story felt stronger overall.

The cozy Halloweentown-meets-Hallmark vibe continues here, but the writing felt a bit smoother and the spice scenes were more consistent this time around.

It’s still a quick, fun read, but this one really felt like the series found its footing.

Overall Thoughts

If you’re someone who loves Halloween vibes, cozy monster romance, and quick reads, this series is definitely worth checking out.

While the first book didn’t completely win me over, the second installment showed noticeable improvement and made the series more enjoyable overall. These are the kind of books I’d recommend when you want something light, cozy, and seasonal, especially during fall or in Hunts case, Valentine's day.

They’re not the kind of reads I’d scream about from the rooftops, but they’re still fun, comforting, and easy to get through, which can be exactly what you need sometimes.


I will be posting a review of Hunt which is the third installment for the series next. I received Hunt as an ARC reader so I felt it important to give it its own space. 

With that said, I'll see you after the last page. 🤎

Inherit the Stars✨ by Amy Ressa Review

Oh my stars!!! It’s my very first review for my blog, and I am SO excited, so let’s get into it. Fair warning: there are minor spoilers ahead. Nothing that gives away major plot points, but I do talk about characters and a few moments I loved. I found Amy on TikTok when she was looking for ARC readers for Inherit the Stars. She described it as a Sailor Moon inspired fantasy romance, and I was immediately sold. That description also raised my standards higher than usual for an ARC read. Sorry, Amy!! I’m sure as a fellow Sailor Moon fan you understand. 😆 And let me just say she surpassed every expectation. This book is near God-tier for me. The world-building is layered and thoughtful: easy to follow, but never simplistic. The political system is fragile, complex, and constantly on the brink, something you really feel as the story unfolds. It gave me the sense that Amy took inspiration from characters like Sailor Venus and Sailor Mars and reimagined them as dignitaries ruling their own ...

Bride of Ash and Dust🌹🖤 by Meredith Hart Review

 🚨 DISCLAIMER 🚨 I was sent an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts and opinions are my own.  Bride of Ash and Dust by Meredith Hart was such a solid start to what I think is going to be a really addictive romantasy series. One thing that stood out right away was the chapter structure. Super short chapters with alternating POVs between the two main characters. At first, it threw off the pacing for me a bit. It felt a little too choppy, like the story couldn’t quite settle. But as the book went on, it definitely evened out. The chapters stay short, but the flow improves and starts to feel more intentional. And listen, no spoilers, but Lilias eating the wedding cake off the sword?😱 Yeah. That was probably my favorite moment. Absolute power move. I was obsessed. Also, Zarek. We love Zarek. Period. That man can get it. The way he shut down that disgusting “men don’t have a stopping point” mindset?? Immediate respect. Because the rage I felt reading L...
