Story
In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett’s death leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a black cake, made from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message, Eleanor shares a tumultuous story about a headstrong young swimmer who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder. The heartbreaking tale Eleanor unfolds, the secrets she still holds back, and the mystery of a long-lost child challenge everything the siblings thought they knew about their lineage and themselves.

So i'm kind of doing a premature book review on this one. mostly because I forgot about this book and i kind of put it down because it was hard for me to get into it and follow it. it had a couple of twists but i don't feel like I was really getting it. what I was thinking about doing was going back to reread it but i have been preoccupied with other books. It didn't really catch my attention and it didn't keep me interested. I also didn't have enough background personally to really care about any of these characcters. I will probably update this once I reread it but this is where my review stands. It's an ok read. It's long and got a little confusing for me but once i revisit it, it may be different.

Story
Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart. Though she’s now been granted the powers and lifespan of the High Fae, she is haunted by her time Under the Mountain and the terrible deeds she performed to save the lives of Tamlin and his people. As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre’s hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different people: one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin.

I have to say I'm much more of a fan of Fae Feyre than human Feyre. This is so far my favorite of the ACOTAR series (which may not be fair since I haven't read the whole series yet). I have to say I am loving this book. Its light Enemies to Lovers and slow burn, but when the heat shows up....IT BURN HOT RED! I have to say that this book has such a great story. I love the character development of or FMC. You can see how she has grown and let me tell you....I am starting to like the woman I see. This one I listened to so quick! i could not turn it off. The performance was pretty good. I am currently listening to the third book and it is so hard for me to get through. The new narrator in the third book doesn't compare to Ms. Ikeda. I love her narration. 5s across the board!

Story
I ran from home to escape heartbreak, only to deliver myself into the hands of a wolf. Henry Wolf, that is. Heir to a luxury hotel chain, infamous playboy, arrogant bastard...and my new boss. Why he wants me, Abbi Mitchell - a girl who lacks experience on every front that would matter to him - as his personal assistant, I cannot fathom, especially when I keep messing up in the most spectacular way. Did I already mention he's a bastard? A beautiful, moody one, who's quick to demand, slow to apologize. And toying with me every chance he gets.

Slow burn with lots of fire. 50 Shades w/a story

This was a really great book. It gave me Fifty shades of grey vibes but with the extra layer of a better story. I do have to say that I did like the character background. It made me really care about the characters in a way that I didn't think of in one of these spicy books. The book definitely kept me listening since I did listen to the audiobook. it was an amazing story and I loved every bit of it. I'm currently reading the second one.

Story
Tom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame in beloved films like The Borrowers catapulted him into the limelight, but nothing could prepare him for what was to come after he landed the iconic role of the Draco Malfoy, the bleached blonde villain of the Harry Potter movies. For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school. Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience.
