One thing's for sure, it feels so good to be reading again. This is only the second book I’ve finished so far this year, but it feels like an achievement already. I’m bouncing between two to three books in my “currently reading” pile, and honestly? I don’t mind at all. I’m just happy to be enjoying my hobbies again with my free time. This recent read of mine was a BookTok recommendation that popped up on my FYP— Starlight Mates by G. Bailey. This book is part of The Nexus Series , a dark romantasy filled with men who growl more than they speak. And that alone intrigued me, but the tropes? Absolutely sold me. Expect to find: Who did this to you? Touch her and die Rejected mates Forced proximity Whychoose? I mean, how could I resist? I'm into dark, gripping fantasy romance with protective, brooding love interests and intense emotional stakes.
