DOOMED AS RIVALS. DESTINED AS SOULMATES.

The heart-racing conclusion to the WISH duology is coming March 2027.

The tournament may be over, but the games are just beginning.

Currently 𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥 in the throes of fantasy with my Maasverse reread.

My remaining rereads before the release of ACOSH is the Crescent City series - dare I say, my most favourite series of the Maasverse?! 🙊

To be honest, my favourite is just what I'm reading at the time. Because they are all so perfect in their own ways. 🌌❤️‍🔥🌃

There are some my favourites and some of my TBRs in this shot alone.

💭 What would you recommend to a fantasy reader from these shelves?

“Legends are never forged without a little ruin...”

T r o p e s & G e n r e s . . .

✨ enemies-to-lovers
🏰 high stakes YA fantasy
🪄 elemental magic
🩶 morally grey
⚔️ tournament to compete in
❤️‍🔥 slow-burn (clean, no spice)

T h o u g h t s . . .

First off, how gorgeous is this cover! I’m an absolute magpie for any book that has a metallic cover - it’s seriously becoming a problem that I am happy not fixing 😂 (very much living up to the book dragon feels)

I actually really enjoyed reading A Wish so Deadly by @marilizeauthor 💛 it kind of reminded me of the hunger games but with elements of magic, dragons & monsters!

Overall it was an easy, fast-paced read and one that I would absolutely recommend 🫶🏻

And.. I am REALLY hoping for a book two.. please! 🙏🏻

5/5 stars ✨

Note to self: shout more about the amazing books I work on as a freelance editor! 📣📣📣

I’m so incredibly proud to have done the copyedit for top 10 YA bestselling author @marilizeauthor ‘s A Wish So Deadly. It has everything I love in a good romantasy: enemies to lovers, deadly magic, a magical tournament and so much more. ❤️‍🔥

Thank you @wendywoomakes and Marilize for giving me a sneaky preview last year! 👀🫣😂

Book Haul🛍

I really have the best boyfriend! Yesterday, we went over to Belle Vale for some new clothes for me as I don't have many leggings or any bottoms that will fit me now with baby T on the way & we popped into @theworksstores to see if I could grab my copy of The Christmas Tree Farm to complete my sprayed edge Dream Harbour collection which made me so happy once I seen it, she is beautiful😍 I had a quick look at A Wish So Deadly by @marilizeauthor (another author first for me) & he literally took it off me & bought them both🥹 I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend, I love you Christopher🥹🩵🤍
