grayson hawthorne definitely has a praise kink

[anythinggoesbutme]

after reading glorious rivals i don’t think grayson and lyra were at fault — i think jameson is just panicked and scared

edit: NO FUCKING WAY I AM NO WHERE NEAR A GOLDEN RETRIEVER 😭

[anythinggoesbutme]

@anintellectualintellectual @inkstainsonmysheets @angelnextdooor @7975348473 @nonerrata-myarchives @sanelyinsaneshadowx2-0 @extremebookreader @lyrakanefanatic +anyone else

there are very subtle differences between girls who have romcom / movie romance energy, girls who have book romance energy and girls who have tv series romance energy

[anythinggoesbutme]

i always forget who’s related to who in the inheritance especially when writing — than i remember i started a family tree back when the books came out

i thought this would be useful to some of you guys (even though it’s a little messy but so is the entire hawthorne family)

[anythinggoesbutme]

how are you doing, love? <3

hii i’m good hbu?

[anythinggoesbutme]

i may or may not be continuing my book i’ve been on and off writing for a year

should i post stuff on it?

[anythinggoesbutme]

it’s very awkward doing a face reveal and nobody says anything about it. 😐

[anythinggoesbutme]

me when nobody notices my new intro posts 😔

[anythinggoesbutme]

You’ve read Red Queen, right? Are you MareCal girlie or Marevan fan?

i’ve only read the first two almost a year ago (i’m bad at ordering books in a series) but from what i remembered i was a marecal girlie

[anythinggoesbutme]

i’m not so patiently waiting for my amazon package.

[anythinggoesbutme]

i thank whatever blessed me with fast reading but screw whatever cursed me with daily reading slumps

Summer ‘25

Total Books: 7

𓇼 To Kill a Kingdom, Alexandra Christo

Rating: ★★★ ☆ ☆ (3.5 out of 5 stars)

Quote: “People don’t tell secrets because someone needs to know them. They do it because they need someone to tell”

Aesthetic Review: Dark seas and salt-stung magic collide in To Kill a Kingdom, a lush, enemies-to-lovers fantasy where sirens and pirates hunt each other across treacherous oceans. Christo paints an atmospheric world of jagged coastlines, cursed treasures, and aching longing between predator and prey.

Tropes & Themes: Enemies to Lovers, Cursed Royals, Morally Gray Protagonists, High-Seas Adventure, Forbidden Romance, Identity & Redemption, Found Family, Dark Fairy-Tale Vibe

𓇼 Defy The Night, Brigid Kemmerer

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.8 out of 5 stars)

Quote: “Please, my love.”

Aesthetic Review: Moonlit rooftops, flickering lanterns, and whispered rebellion — Defy the Night is a lush, action-packed fantasy that pulls you into a world on the edge of collapse. Brigid Kemmerer blends intrigue and romance into a dark, fast-paced story of two people from opposite worlds teaming up to save their kingdom before it tears itself apart.

Tropes & Themes:, Robin Hood Retelling, (Rapunzel?), Forbidden Romance, Rebellion vs. Corrupt Monarchy, Enemies to Lovers, Found Family & Loyalty, Sacrifice and Duty, Courage and Compassion, Moral Grayness and Redemption

𓇼 Defend the Dawn, Brigid Kemmer

Rating: ★★★★ ☆ (4.7 out of 5 stars)

Quote: “Mind your mettle”

Aesthetic Review: Silken lies and fractured loyalties. A kingdom healing, a journey unraveling. Defend the Dawn is a sweeping continuation filled with political tension, slow-burning romance, and high-stakes diplomacy. As secrets unfold and alliances shift, the line between duty and desire becomes dangerously thin.

Tropes & Themes: Political Intrigue & Royal Corruption, Dangerous Journey & Road Trip Romance, Identity, Deception & Betrayal, Second-Chance Love, Scarcity, Power, and Survival

𓇼 Destory the Day, Brigid Kemmer

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.2 out of 5 stars)

Quote: “If you’re breathing, you’re alive. If you’re alive, there’s still hope. Don’t undo it on your own”

Aesthetic Review: Shattered crowns. Broken trust. A kingdom teetering on the edge of collapse. Destroy the Day is the explosive, emotionally charged finale to the Defy the Night series — filled with heartbreak, uneasy alliances, and the desperate hope of reunion in a world falling apart.

Tropes & Themes: Separation & Longing, Enemies to Reluctant Allies, Power, Rebellion & Revolution, Found Family in Chaos, Trust, Forgiveness & Second Chances, Grief, Sacrifice & Resilience

𓇼 Bad Blod, Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.0 out of 5 stars)

Quote: “Home isn't a place. Home is the people who love you. Forever and ever, no matter what.”

Aesthetic Review: Blood-soaked secrets. Generational killers. A mother long thought dead. Bad Blood is the darkest, most twisted installment of The Naturals series — full of betrayal, mind games, and the kind of secrets that ruin lives. Cassie’s world is turned upside down as the line between victim and villain blurs, and the truth becomes more dangerous than the lies.

Tropes & Themes: Murder Mystery, Twists and Deception, Family Drama, Cult Influence, Secrets and Betrayal

𓇼 Twelve, Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.4 out of 5 stars)

Quote: “Even when wounds healed, the scars remained.”

Aesthetic Review: Dark skies. A lighthouse on the edge of the world. A girl with secrets and a storm in her eyes. Twelve brings the Naturals back in a chilling continuation—older, hardened, and haunted. It’s a story of ghosts that don’t stay buried, childhood trauma that still echoes, and a case that hits way too close to home.

Tropes & Themes: Found Family of Gifted Teens, Small Town Secrets, Childhood Trauma, Suicide or Murder?, Genius Profiling & Emotional Complexity, Ghosts from the Past, Psychological Darkness

𓇼 Love & Gelato, Jenna Evans Welch

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.4 out of 5 stars)

Quote: “You know, people come to Italy for all sorts of reasons, but when they stay, it's for the same two things." "What?" "Love and gelato.”

Aesthetic Review: Sun-drenched streets. Scooters and secrets. A summer in Italy that wasn’t supposed to change anything — but somehow changes everything. Love & Gelato is a light, heartwarming story about grief, family, first love, and discovering who you are somewhere unexpected.

Tropes & Themes: Unexpected Travel, Found Journal / Past Unraveling, Culture, Food & Self-Discovery, Grief and Healing, Sweet First Love, Love Triangle, Reconnecting with a Parent
