🎉 HAPPY RELEASE! 🎉

🦋 THE AGE OF BLOOD AND MAGIC 🦋
By @hannahmathewson

Thank you so much to @hannahmathewson, @harpercollinsau and @harpervoyager again for sending me an advanced copy of this gorgeous book! 😍🫶 How amazing it is out in the world now!!

WHAT AN AMAZING READ!! 🖤 Such a unique idea! I haven’t read many modern-day stories involving witches and vampires, so this felt like something completely new for me. It was so easy to get lost in a world of adventure, fantasy and mystery, especially with the story of Valentina and Luc. ❤️‍🔥

While fantasy is at the heart of this story, the author also explores some thought-provoking moral issues within our society, including greed, wealth and the lengths people will go to when morality is lost.

~ 📚 READ THIS IF YOU LOVE... 📚 ~

🩸 Dark and powerful magic
⚔️ Epic fantasy adventures
👑 Kingdoms, power & political intrigue
🔥 Dangerous enemies and high stakes
🐉 Mythical creatures & magical worlds
❤️‍🔥 Slow-burn romance
🗡️ Strong, determined characters

💫 A story filled with twists and surprises
🏰 Immersive world-building

~ SYNOPSIS ~

Magic is power … And everyone's out for blood.

A hundred years ago, magic belonged only to fae, witches and vampires. Then a mortal stole its secret and forged Mythos: a company that bottles spells for humankind. His descendants now his empire – and Valentina Maddock is determined to inherit its throne.

When the CEO suddenly collapses while hosting an ultra-exclusive, lavish weekend, the race for his heir begins. Valentina is pitted against her playboy brother, her genius mother and her father’s long-time CFO. Even the guests and staff start choosing sides … and someone intends to eliminate Valentina entirely.

Then an unexpected guest arrives: a vampire with a private invitation from the CEO himself. Drawn to the enigmatic and dangerously handsome stranger, Valentina senses he may be her only ally. But his polished words hide a bloodthirsty bite, and she begins to question who the true monster really is …

✨ SEPTEMBER WRAP UP ✨

September was — as usual — a very fantasy-heavy month and honestly… I’m not complaining. 😂📚✨

I had a bit of everything this month, from witchy retellings and fae to dark fantasy, vampires, magic and finally diving even deeper into my Throne of Glass era. 👀

Tallow and Bone was definitely one that stuck with me. It was eerie, unsettling and such an emotional rollercoaster. Some of the things in this book are genuinely disturbing, so definitely check those trigger warnings before picking it up!

And then there was my continued Throne of Glass journey with Queen of Shadows, Heir of Fire, Crown of Midnight and The Assassin’s Blade… I am officially DEEP in this series now and I’m having the time of my life. 🫠⚔️

The Age of Blood and Magic bought me into a story that was so unique and the concept was very different from the usual reads — I loved the idea behind it all.

Then there was You’re So Vein — which was a very cute, hot 🥵 fun read… and the VINES 🌱 … FINALLY … I got my hands on book 2 of sold to the fae. Which was incredibly well done… except now i have to wait for book 3 🫠

📚 My September reads:

🖤 Tallow and Bone — @rhiannonhargadon
🌿 The Endless Dance — @samaradarkwrites
🩸 You’re So Vein — @steffanieholmeswrites
👑 Queen of Shadows— @sarahjmaas
🔥 Heir of Fire — @sarahjmaas
💙 The Age of Blood and Magic — @hannahoclock
🌙 Crown of Midnight — @sarahjmaas
🗡️ The Assassin’s Blade — @sarahjmaas

Another month of adding approximately 384 books to my TBR while pretending I’m making progress on it😂

What was your September standout? And tell me, what did you read this month? 👀📖✨
