Book Review - unseverable Ties

Rating: 4/5

Unseverable Ties by @farhaanawrites 

This book delivers a captivating Tollywood-inspired romance filled with surprising turns and thrilling action that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The narrative centers around Yashveer and Adrika, two resilient individuals united by their traumatic experiences and hidden secrets, with their bond adding an intriguing layer to the story.
I felt so involved with the characters in this book as it felt so real. The female protagonist is just perfect. She's feisty, sweet, supportive and most importantly she never bows down. I adored them both as a couple and i crossed my fingers as they fight through their troubles. I was fully engrossed in the storyline. This book was like a movie playing over and over in my head.

The author masterfully conveyed the cultural essence with exceptional writing that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish, thanks to its clear and concise language.

This captivating narrative maintains a strong hold on the reader's attention from start to finish, making it an absolute must-read.

The seven years slip by Ashley poston

" Nothing lasts forever, not the good things,not the bad. So just find what makes you happy, and do it for as long as you can"

Wow, what a magical,laughably lovely, and heart warmingly cheesy story! This novel combines romance, personal growth, and a touch of magical elements.The seven-year slip serves as a poignant reminder that life's most unexpected turns can lead to its most wonderful surprises.

Iwan & Clementine ๐Ÿ’›

They make a wonderful couple .I love them both. Iwan's personality was so infectious, he was basically a human golden retriever๐Ÿฅน♥️

Synopsis : 

An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate…only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics.

Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.

So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it.

And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again.

Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future.

Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed.

After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing.

Book Review - The song of Achilles

Title : The song of Achilles 
Author: Madeline Miller 
Pages : 408
Rating: 3/5

I DON'T GET THE HYPE !!!

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is a Greek literature and mythology book. This is a story about two young warriors Achilles and Patroclus and the Trojan War. I know that the majority of people love this book. I didn't get the plot I was expecting. To me, it felt a bit slow and boring - ish. I've had to push myself to finish this book, you won't believe it took me more than a week. Speaking of the fact I adore the love Patroclus and Achilles had for each other. I truly liked the character Briseis. I think this was not my cup of tea. 

Synopsis: 

Achilles, "the best of all the Greeks," son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis and the legendary king Peleus, is strong, swift, and beautiful, irresistible to all who meet him. Patroclus is an awkward young prince, exiled from his homeland after an act of shocking violence. Brought together by chance, they forge an inseparable bond, despite risking the gods' wrath.

They are trained by the centaur Chiron in the arts of war and medicine, but when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, all the heroes of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause, and torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows. Little do they know that the cruel Fates will test them both as never before and demand a terrible sacrifice.

Hey Bookies, here is my review of Twisted Games by @authoranahuang

After reading Twisted Love which is the first book in the Twisted series I started this with fewer expectations. well, this book did not disappoint me. I loved the trope and the tension between Rhys Larsen and Bridget. I was blushing and giggling the entire time. I loved Bridget and Rhys's relationship right from the moment they met. I equally love them both. It was the perfect fairytale love story.

Bridget was a brave, lovely young woman. I like the way she stood up for herself. The transition from a sweet, innocent girl to a responsible Queen was just ๐Ÿ”ฅ

"I was a princess, he was my bodyguard.
I was twenty -two, he was thirty-two
It was wrong, but I couldn't stop."

Rhys Larsen>>>♥️

He was Amazing!!! The small moment of jealousy by Rhys was so cute๐Ÿฅบ. Although he was shown to be a big dangerous broody bodyguard, secretly he was a sweetheart. His gesture truly had my heart fluttering.

"I want to be in your mind, in your heart, and in your fucking soul the way you are in mine.
You and me, princess...
"Against the world"

The spice and smut were delicious ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฅต
Tbh, the plot and the story were easily predictable and I personally don't like submissive female characters during the smut and this book was full of it. Just my opinion!

Looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

Hey Bookies, Here is my review of Twisted Love by @authoranahuang 

Where do I even start !!

I have super mixed love /hate feelings about this book but I have fun reading it.

I loved Ava. She was so sweet but sometimes I just wanted to knock her out like,girl why are you sooo nice? Honestly, my heart ached for her after everything she went through. The way she worked on her fear and the way she carried herself after all the heartbreaks was what I adored the most.

" Why was it always me ? What about me made me so damn unlovable? So gullible? "
OMG!! Alex

Idk why I'm falling for Red flags ๐Ÿ˜ญ 

He was the perfect cold dark CEO. I love the way he protected Ava every single moment. The jealousy that was pouring out of this man was everything. And the way Alex would literally burn down the world for Ava is intense but also๐Ÿ˜ฎ‍๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿคง.

HE'S NOT MY TYPE IN REAL LIFE !!!๐Ÿ’ฏ

"Once I got my hands on her, she'd be filthy broken. Just like everything I touched. But she'd be mine. And I was selfish and cruel enough that I'd take her with me while I burned down the world."
.

The friendship among the girls in the story is also amazing - pure, natural and satisfying. Last but not least I need a brother like Josh ๐Ÿ’–
