My favorite read in 2025

Book cover of Veiled Flame

Trudie Collins ❤️ loved this book because...

This is the first in the series. I got the ARC of the second book and loved it so much I had to buy book 1. I was hooked from the very start. The storyline is great and you feel you really get to know the characters, which are unique and fantastic. It is written from different points of view which works really well and lets the reader understand what the different characters are thinking and feeling

Why should I read it?

1 author picked Veiled Flame as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

One letter.

That was all it took to change the course of my life forever.

Typing too quickly in the application program cost me my dreams of finally being accepted for who I am and now I'm stuck here.

Discordia University's acceptance made everything I knew go up in a puff of sulfur.

Demons are real and they just admitted me into their elite boys' school.

Unfortunately, my name is Kat, not Kit, and I'm a girl.

My caseworker was right; I was born under a bad sign.

Veiled Flame is book one in the series Discordia University. Discordia…

My 2nd favorite read in 2025

Book cover of Blood on the Ice

Trudie Collins ❤️ loved this book because...

This another one where I got the ARC of book 2 and bought book 1. It is by the same author as my other recommendation. There are actually 3 different series on the go where the main characters in one play minor characters in the others. It is well thought out and I can't wait for them all to join up. Cassandra Featherstone is a fabulous author and I love everything I have read by her

1 author picked Blood on the Ice as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

Honoris. Veritas. Potentia.

Turns out killing your traitorous ex-fiancé isn't considered good form.

I knew when I went after Magnus that I'd have to face the consequences of my actions, but the punishment doled out by the Society shocked everyone—including me.

Being sent to State U to clean up his damn mess is worse than being executed, if you ask me.

Everywhere I turn his cronies, his corruption, and his ex-floozies are waiting for me to fail so they can justify getting revenge. If I don't fix this and make sure State U's Division 1 teams keep their eligibility, I'll…


My 3rd favorite read in 2025

Book cover of Hidden Storm

Trudie Collins ❤️ loved this book because...

I got the ARC for this book and loved every single part of it. The storyline is original, the characters are great and the interaction between them is superb. There is absolutely nothing which should be changed in this book (which is rare for me). I begged the author for the ARC of book 2. I have now read 4 out of five in the series and have already preordered the box set. The book are so easy to read and I wanted more and more
