4/5 Stars 🌟 Awful Intentions  is book 2 in the Celestial Bodies series which is a New Adult Series with hints of fantasy, paranormal, mythological and astrological themes in a modern setting. This book picks up where Awful Curse (book 1) ends and has all the characters dealing with everything that went down in book 1. This is Luna & Nyx's story but you still get a lot of insight from the previous characters we've all grown to love/hate Luna  is lost, broken, confused and trying to figure out what type of person she is meant to be morally and mentally. She no longer fits inside the box she had created for herself and is somewhat afraid of what she may be capable of as well as what consequences she may suffer for what she did. She was incredibly frustrating and naive making one bad decision after another but ultimately she was such a strong, powerful, badass girl who was maybe just a little bit crazy, the good kind of crazy. It took me longer to connect with her as a lot of

3/5 Stars 🌟 Savage  is book 3 in the Rosewood High series and is a forbidden/bully romance involving step siblings.  Ethan  is angry and still dealing with the pain caused by his parents separation when his dad moves in his girlfriend and her daughter hoping Ethan will be accommodating and help with the transition. Ethan is cold, ruthless, broody, a real a-hole and downright SAVAGE and decides to take it out on his new Stepsister and make her move to Rosewood as difficult as possible. He played the tortured soul act perfectly. Raelynn  doesn't get close to people and is used to constantly moving around with her mother. She is independent and would much rather make it on her own than have to rely on others. She is feisty, sassy, bold, strong but also broken and vulnerable due to events in her past. She was very much all bark and no bite. I loved how she would push back to Ethan verbally every time they went toe to toe I just wish she had a little more restraint when it came to him

 3/5 Stars 🌟 Southern Storm  is the 3rd book in the Southern series and even though these books follow different couples I highly suggest reading them in order as the stories all interconnect in a way that may confuse you if you have not read the previous books.  This story was drama packed to the point that it was maybe a little bit too much especially towards the end when all the revelations come out and it went to a whole new level and felt like I was watching a soap opera/telenovela which for me personally it was a bit over board but if you love crazy small town drama with some added suspense then you will surely love this book. Savannah  where do I even begin with her, if you have read the previous books then you would know that she is an unlikable character and the main reason of all the drama that played out in book 1. I personally didn't love her character in the previous books but I also didn't hate her. She is selfish but also somehow selfless. Strong yet broken. Sma

4/5 Stars 🌟 Stirred  is the first book in the Twisted Fox series of interconnected standalones. It is a single dad, small town romance with a forbidden/taboo aspect to it.
