Riedl's "A Weave of Lies" had me hooked from the start. It has everything I hunger for in a dark fantasy romance- sorcery, mystery, danger, and that delicious enemies-to-lovers spark. The story opens with Semras, a witch living quietly in the woods, while her world turns upside down when Inquisitor Estevan Velten shows up at her door. Surprise, surprise- he’s not there to burn her, but to consult her on a murder.

Veronica Lancet’s "Barbi and The Villain" is an enthralling dive into a richly crafted fantasy world that leaves readers breathless and yearning for more. The novel weaves a tale of unexpected romance, thrilling plot twists, and profound character development that captivates from the first page to the last.
