Many thanks to @PRHinternational for free e-copy via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review. Curses by Lish McBride Publication Date : July 20th 2021 Publisher : G. P. Putnam's Sons Genre : Fantasy / Retelling / YA Pages : 448 Ratings :⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬: Curses was fantastic and entertaining YA fantasy and retelling of Beauty and Beast about curses, friendship, family, manipulation, deception, trust, social class differences, accepting yourself, hope and love. Writing was beautiful with timeless feel to it set in 1880s with world of faeries, mages, and curses that made it atmospheric. Plot was fun and adventurous. This was more character driven and there were so many characters. Both Tevin and Merit were like characters we used to read in YA fantasy and yet I loved them both. Romance was lovely and slow burn. Though this was a fantasy there was less worldbuilding. World wasn’t explained much. We jump into the world of faery godlings who could gift or curse, mages who couldn’t curse but invented magical things, and humans divided in commoners and those with faery blood that created social and class differences. It was interesting to read about Caen’s bloom that removed the curse for few hours. Overall, Curses was entertaining, adventurous, and very well written well executed Beauty and Beast retelling with lots of characters, good message and lovely romance. I highly recommend this if you love, Retellings Fantasy with less worldbuilding more character driven classic feel rogue hero and kickass heroine slow burn romance balls and gowns Less drama No usual romance tropes witty characters and dialogues 𝙌𝙊𝙏𝘿 : 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜? #Curses #LishMcBride #GPPutnamsSons #BooksTeacupandReviews #PenguinRandomHouse #partner #YA #YAbook #YAreader #NetGalley #romance #Fantasy #YAFantasy #Retelling #Beautyandthebeastretelling #Fantasyreaders #bookstagrammer #bookishlife #bookbloggerofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bookphotography #Indianbookstagram #bookcommunity #bookgram #bookrec #bookreviewblog #bookreviewercommunity (at Ahmedabad, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTPYu6iInh5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Curses by @LishMcBride released yesterday! Huge thanks to @PenguinTeen for providing me with an advanced copy to read and enjoy!! This book is available now! I started this as a read with @foreverinastory but then life got busy and I haven’t finished yet!! I read through her review and Andy said, “best case of surprise gays,” and that made me LOL!! ✨ Do you read in the tub? When I do, this is my view! This is only a fraction of the plants I have in my bathroom 🤣 — SYNOPSIS — Merit Cravan refused to fulfill her obligation to marry a prince, leading to a fairy godling's curse. She will be forced to live as a beast forever, unless she agrees to marry a man of her mother's choosing before her eighteenth birthday. Tevin Dumont has always been a pawn in his family's cons. The prettiest boy in a big family, his job is to tempt naïve rich girls to abandon their engagements, unless their parents agree to pay him off. But after his mother runs afoul of the beast, she decides to trade Tevin for her own freedom. Now, Tevin and Merit have agreed that he can pay off his mother's debt by using his con-artist skills to help Merit find the best match . . . but what if the best match is Tevin himself? :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: #Pride #YoungAdultBooks #PTMBook #Bookstagram #Bookish #Booknerd #BookLover #Retelling #BookCommunity #Reading #ReadersOfInstagram #BeautyAndTheBeast #LishMcBride #BookRecommendation #PenguinTeen #YAFantasy #BookSeries #Books #BooksOfIG #Reader #LGBT #BooksAndPlants #PlantsAndBooks #PlantsOfIG (at Saint Joseph, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRl1RFPL5Hf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Hump Day! Well, it almost turned into a nightmare as I was out of coffee beans 😱 Thankfully, delivery came nice & early ☕ #killercoffeeco definitely got their timing👌🖤 #whatlinewednesday ✒ is from Firebug by Lisa McBride Fast paced and loving the friendship angle. 🔥Synopsis🔥 Ava is a firebug-she can start fires with her mind. Which would all be well and good if she weren't caught in a deadly contract with the Coterie, a magical mafia. She's one of their main hit men . . . and she doesn't like it one bit. Not least because her mother's death was ordered by Venus-who is now her boss. When Venus asks Ava to kill a family friend, Ava rebels. She knows very well that you can't say no to the Coterie and expect to get away with it, though, so she and her friends hit the road, trying desperately to think of a way out of the mess they find themselves in. Preferably keeping the murder to a minimum. #currentlyreading #fantasy #youngadult #paranormal #shifters #firebug #LishMcBride #quote #coffeelover #coffeeaddict #coffeeandbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5SWMoAagh/?igshid=pig1dip1t3mx

Celebrating PYROMANTIC by @LishMcBride: Top 13 Crime Families in YA Literature
It’s release day for Pyromantic by Lish McBride today, the sequel to Firebug and one of my all-time favorite series. It’s got loads of snark & sass, the perfect dash of romance, and my favorite combination of all time ever: crime families in YA literature. Seriously, I LOVE organized crime/crime families/the mob/the maffia/etc. in YA literature. Sometimes it’s mixed with magic — like it is in…

“There were no windows in my bedroom, so I had to sit up and read my clock to figure out how angry I should be at my visitor. Eight A.M. I hated whoever woke me up. Had they come an hour earlier, I would have also hated their families and any household pets.” ✶ Okay, let’s talk snark. I’m a huge fan of banter and snark and it’s probably my favorite thing to read. I can overlook a plot that isn’t captivating me if there are some characters who are carrying everything. When it comes to books from Lish, I never have to worry. She brings the snark and the plot. ✶ For your consideration, I give you a cover with a bird, because we all know I’m a sucker for that. Also, I have some Lish books to giveaway soon, so be on the lookout. ✶ #decbookstagram18: made you laugh ——————— Snark and banter: yay or nay? ——————— {#HoldMeCloserNecromancer #LishMcBride #hellostacee #vscobooks #booksandtea #cupinframe #flatlaytoday #bookaesthetic #booksbooksbooks #whiteinframe #readmore #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #prettybooks #booksandminimalism} https://www.instagram.com/p/BrN4j4IBA6w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rf0cqfn5bkfh
