June Wrap Up (2024) // Fantasy Romance & Dark Romance Books: Hits & Misses 📚💔 

Oh my goodness, I completely agree with the audio of Leather and Lark! The laughing was horrible. I think I would have liked the book better if I had read it physically. I listened to it at about 1.5 speed and the laughter was still super weird. I’m just glad I’m not the only one that thought it was odd.

I loved A Court This Cruel and Lovely! I even bought the second one and I’m hoping to read it soon. Too bad you didn’t love Trial of the Sun Queen. I’ve been Buddy reading the series and really enjoying it. I’ll be reading the third book for July and I’m excited.

Continue with the Stacia Stark series, I really enjoyed it.

I appreciate your honest reviews ❤ if you didn't vibe with a book or several that is ok! I have so many books I want to read and hearing your honest reviews can help me prioritize what to read next.

You and I usually like the same book so I can't believe you did not like the Trial of the Sun Queen, seeing that I liked it. The third book just released last month and I have to read that one. If you did not like the first book (Trial of the Sun Queen) then you probably will not like the second book. I hope July is a better reading month for you.

I read a dawn of onyx and then a court is cruel and lovely right after and I was constantly lost as to which story line I was following! However loved cruel and lovely and am reading book 2 now

My favourite reads last month were When the Moon Hatched and Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home. It wasn't the greatest reading month for me either though. I feel like there has just been too much going on workwise to properly let go and sink into another world. Fingers crossed July will be awesome. 😊

I loved A Court This Cruel and Lovely (I rated the first one 4 stars), but I also listened to the entire series, and the narration, particularly the female, was fantastic. Fun fact, the female narrator recommended this series to her partner, who normally doesn't read romantasy, and they loved it also. That's neither here nor there I just thought it was a fun fact to share lol.

I picked up The Perfectly Imperfect series on your recommendation, and I’ve loved every single one of them!!

ohhh wow yeah I agree about Leather and Lark audiobook's laugh track and singing... still loved the story, but not as much as Butcher and Blackbird.

Hopefully you have a better reading month in July

Hey ☺️ I’m hoping yourself or someone in here could help me haha ! I am a lover of dark romance 🙈 that’s my go to genre , however I’m desperate to try fantasy to mix it up! I wondered if there was any recommendations for a romance fantasy that is an easy read, I really don’t want to go straight into something that’s going to be to difficult to get my head around if that’s makes sense ☺️🖤

i will be checking out the mafia series you mentioned cause it sounds 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

the singing didnt bother me but the giggles were TERRIBLE at higher speed. i did slow it down to 1.5 speed and it was fine then.

Right now I am reading a Peter Pan retelling called Losing Neverland By Evelyn Montgomery and it is good so far. If you haven't read it you might wanna give it ago

i felt the same way about A Court This Cruel and Lovely! i tried picking up the sequel but couldnt get into it

Would you happen to have a video that explains the different subgenres of Fantasy Romance for those that are new to the channel/genre?

I dnf Leather and Lark because of the audio

June was just a weird month for so many people.

The laughing in Leather & Lark was creepily high pitched and the singing was a big no.

I felt the same way about a court this cruel and lovely series. And his pet name for her- “wildcat” 🤢🤮🤮 I just couldn’t…

Spoiler removed 😋

A Court This Cruel and Lovely I had to DNF. The pacing wasn't great for me, didn't connect to the characters. Felt it was rushed in some parts and slow in others.

Where did you find that awesome shirt?😊

the only book i loved in June was funny story i have had a bad month too, I did read when the moon hatched but I didn't like it the writing was too long and descriptive for me
