My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Demon

Brianna Malotke ❤️ loved this book because...

I bought it based solely on the title and wasn't expecting much...but oh man did the book deliver!

The writing style and author's voice made the book hard to put down. I had to know how the story turned out! The witty banter and world building was top tier. After I finished it I immediately bought the next book in the series.

Brianna Malotke 👍 liked this book because...

This was a cute romance book (closed door). I loved the characters that got introduced and the pacing of the story. I always enjoy a good grumpy/sunshine duo. After I finished I added the next book to my "TBR" list.

My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of 101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered

Brianna Malotke ❤️ loved this book because...

I loved the premise of the book and the way it presented different books you should read before you're murdered.

The layout is a fantastic vessel for the information on each book. While each book has a cover image and full synopsis, you also get a brief overview that tells you themes and style so you can decide on your next read by scanning pages. I definitely added a lot more horror books to my "TBR" from this one!

Don‘t forget about my book 😀

Lost Cherry

By Brianna Malotke ,

Book cover of Lost Cherry

What is my book about?

To be in a love haze means being so in love with another person that you can’t see your partner’s flaws, those little red flags that pop up. Love can be all consuming and oftentimes you give up little pieces of yourself in order to stay in that bubble.

Readers should expect a variety of relationships, where the mortal considers giving up themselves for just a moment more with their love. But along with this, expect feelings of uneasiness and discomfort to creep in. And possibly new beings to haunt your nightmares. Think falling in love with human sacrificing witches, screaming banshees, vampires who will kill without a second thought, and even death herself.

For dark romance lovers who've contemplated what love would look like with a little more BITE.
