Sea Witch by Sarah Henning
I had a real issue with this book, which you will all find out soon when I post my review of it. I actually read it years ago but the review never made it online. I’ve got it in my back pocket for when I desperately need a post. Which may happen very soon. It’s taking a lot of energy for me to write any type of post right now.
I do wonder if I gave this book a second chance today if I’d feel so negatively towards it, but I read this back when I didn’t DNF books. Forcing yourself to finish a book is never a good thing and it will always reflect in your review. I don’t think I’ve ever struggled to finish a book and then given it a high rating.
Synopsis: Everyone knows what happens in the end. A mermaid, a prince, a true love’s kiss. But before that young siren’s tale, there were three friends. One feared, one royal, and one already dead.
Ever since her best friend, Anna, drowned, Evie has been an outcast in her small fishing town. A freak. A curse. A witch.
A girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears offshore and, though the girl denies it, Evie is convinced that her best friend actually survived. That her own magic wasn’t so powerless after all. And, as the two girls catch the eyes—and hearts—of two charming princes, Evie believes that she might finally have a chance at her own happily ever after.
But her new friend has secrets of her own. She can’t stay in Havnestad, or on two legs, unless Evie finds a way to help her. Now Evie will do anything to save her friend’s humanity, along with her prince’s heart—harnessing the power of her magic, her ocean, and her love until she discovers, too late, the truth of her bargain.
Heart Hassle by Raven Kennedy
I almost finished this series. I read three books out of four and I probably would have finished it if I still had Kindle Unlimited at the time. The series is no longer part of the service and I wouldn’t say I enjoyed these enough to spend actual money on them.
Back in 2019 when I started this series, I was definitely more into ‘spicy’ books than I am now. I’ve shifted towards clean romance a little more as I do really love a sweet love story. Not that spicy books can’t be sweet.
This series definitely feels of its time, if that makes sense? It screams 2019 Kindle Unlimited book. Probably because it’s a reverse harem and that was HUGE back then. Every single book on Kindle Unlimited seemed to use that trope back then.
Synopsis: I’m going to find my own true love even if it kills me.
You’d think being in charge of love would be an epic job, right?
Wrong.
Sure, I’m a cupid, so I can blow Lust into people’s faces and watch the show, but I can’t actually participate. It gets old, trust me. Same goes for love. I can pass it out like sugar-free lollipops at a dentist’s office, but I can’t get any for myself.
I’m stuck in this never-ending afterlife where I’m invisible, lonely, and bitter. And yeah, I’m probably responsible for some terrible matchmaking out there. But can you blame a girl?
Apparently, my cupid bosses can, because I get exiled to the fae world. And while I’m here, I accidentally attack a fae prince with Love Arrows. But hey, he deserved it.
What I didn’t expect was for him to retaliate and that I’d be pushed into the physical realm.
That’s right. This cupid just got a real body. And you know what that means. Now, it’s my turn to get some.
Love, I mean. Wink, wink.
