FALLEN CITY by Adrienne Young

Despite its captivating prose and political dynamics, ‘Fallen City’ fell short in certain areas and failed to meet my high expectations.

While the banter and character dynamics were fun, the disjointed storyline and heavy spice kept me from loving ‘Mate’.

‘The Housemaid’ is an addictive read with killer twists, but the irritating characters and tropes weren’t my cup of tea.

‘Of War and Ruin’ is yet another compelling instalment packed with heart, epic lore, and constant action, though some parts felt a little weak.

‘Wild Reverence’ takes its time to get going, but rewards with a compelling and expansive tale in Rebecca Ross’s lush writing style.

‘Sweet Heat’ serves up a spicy, beautifully written, second-chance romance packed with relatable struggles.

‘The Justice of Kings’ is a compelling, atmospheric read and has officially become my latest fantasy obsession!

I had high hopes for ‘The Reaper’ because of its fascinating premise and world, but sadly, the story’s delivery failed to hold my interest.
