My favorite read in 2025

Book cover of Iron Flame

Shan R.K โค๏ธ loved this book because...

Violet and Xaden are now in a peculiar situation. Because on one hand she should end him, but on the other hand she can't. It is deeper than loving someone, and more potent than a romantasy read. The emotions run high, the back story is so well written that you forget you are in a book. It's insane.

My 2nd favorite read in 2025

Book cover of Enzo

Shan R.K ๐Ÿ‘ liked this book because...

I was in a reading slump because apart from Onyx Storm, not many books have caught my attention. Too many dnf reads and most are so generic these days.

But I found K.Websters Enzo a book good enough to finish. I am not a fan of age gap romance any more but this one was a good in-between read for me.

Easy to read, easy to finish and good enough to give it a 3.8 star.

My 3rd favorite read in 2025

Book cover of Dear Evan Hansen

Shan R.K ๐Ÿ‘ liked this book because...

So this one i read as my kid is doing it as a school book. So naturally I am forced to read the book, but boy was it a good story. I was extremely shocked by the ending and how relatable it was in today's society as well as the entire plot, the lie, and how it ends.

It is sad the story is based on a suicide but it stayed with me for the last 6 months so I'm adding it as a win ๐Ÿ† win.

Donโ€˜t forget about my book ๐Ÿ˜€

Capo Dei Capi

By Shan R.K ,

Book cover of Capo Dei Capi

What is my book about?

"An enemies to lovers you can't predict."

"A cat and mouse mystery"

The lines between love and war blur, often being the only thread keeping you alive.

I am Aliyana Capello, and this is my confession.

Born half-Italian, half-Russian, my mother, a Bratva woman, was sold to my father for peace between the Famiglia. Her short-lived life haunts me. Unlike my mother, I believed I could choose my path, my loveโ€”Leonardo Catelli. But fate had other plans. Marco Catelli, the eldest son, rose to become the Capo Dei Capi after losing his fiancรฉe. He chose me to be his wife and bearer of his heir, a choice that sealed my fate.

"Bury him, mourn his death. But come Monday morning, you're mine, Mezzosangue." Marco
