Tropes of Chatter

Nocticadia - Keri Lake ⭐ - 5 🌶 - 5 This book was absolutely amazing. It was addictive, it was fun, it was emotional and it was a great story with such interesting characters and plot twists.  The story is based on our two main characters - Lilia and Devryck. Lilia is a poor girl who lives in a small flat with her mother's partner - her mother has been deceased for a while. Lilia believes she knows the real way her mother passed, however, no one will listen to her about this and she therefore has no one to confide in. Throughout this, her sister is in a special school that costs a lot of money, and Lilia has to find a way to pay for the funding. Her sister suffers from some traumas due to the loss of her mother and Lilia took on the role of her 'protecter', being the reason she was sent to this school as she wanted her to have a better, happier life.  Lilia is then invited to become a student at Dracadia University, something she did not believe was in her future. However, ...

  Lights Out - Navessa Allen ⭐ - 3.8 🌶 - 4 This was quite a wild read for me, because I did not expect the plot to be what it was, and it made my whole outlook on the book a little 50/50. I really enjoyed the first half of the book and where it was going with the plot of 'masked stalker man' and the reader knowing who he is, but the FMC being in the dark. The second half of the book threw me off a little bit and felt like a whole trope change - but nevertheless, we finished her (the book, I mean).  Starting off, the blurb was enough for me to put this book on pre-order and take a chance on a tiktok masked man who is clearly addictive in more ways than one, which is what made it an interesting plot because it was tailored towards the modern day romance reader and was something that (as an avid 'tiktok sensation book' reader) is relatable as a guilty pleasure (we all do it, we're all friends here, no shame or lies) and so making that into a plot AND making him a stal...

 Say You Swear - Meagan Brandy ⭐ - 5 🌶 - 2.5 This book. THIS DAMN BOOK!  It took my heart, shredded it, danced all over it and then healed it back together with the man that is...Noah Riley.  There are good book boyfriends and there are steamy book boyfriends. And then you get the golden retriever, would do anything for her, love you softly forever boyfriend, and he is called Noah Riley. He made this book absolutely PERFECT and I wish, oh wow do I wish, that I could go back and read this book again. I had to sit with myself for a good while once I finished this book and recalibrate my brain to try be ok with the fact that it was over. But nothing was good enough. NOTHING worked. This book straight up put me in a book slump for over a month because I was so sad I couldn't read it again and that I had to allow in a new story and characters to my life.  But alas, the reading slump broke and she was able to move on to other boyfriends (she's lying, I want more. Meagan p...
