Wait, viral tiktok thing? I really need to check that out.

This one was funny, and this villain is more like grumpy meets sunshine. I know he is supposed to be evil, but aww, he just awww. And then he kills someone, but aww.

Evie takes care of her sick dad and her little sister. And she needs money so an accident makes her meet the dreaded villain. But he is hot, and she needs a job. She becomes his assistant.

There are other people to at his Evil castle. The dragonkeeper, a healer who loves pink, someone in the office that she butts heads with and she will meet more. She is sunshine and happiness, and clumsiness. She also speaks faster than she thinks.

And the villain just can not say no to her.

But something evil is afoot, and it is not the villain.

Great narration. She kept a good pace and brought everyone to life ]]> ReadStatus9609829796 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 13:15:18 -0700 /review/show/7697975646 Blodeuedd is currently reading Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry

bookshelves: urban-fantasy
What can I say, in the end nothing compare to Heartstrikers. I know, I lost my heart and soul to that series.

This is DFC many years after what happened there. Now more beings have come to light, or are still hiding. Among them fairies, and Lola is a changeling. A magical thing brought in to existence. One that should have faded but she is still alive thanks to a bloodmage named Victor that uses her for his own good.

And so Victor goes missing. She needs him to stay alive. She meets new friends and foes and something sinister is growing in the DFC.

There was danger and intrigues. It was good, but alas nothing compares.... ]]> ReadStatus9601484886 Sat, 28 Jun 2025 12:23:48 -0700 /review/show/7692151180 Blodeuedd is currently reading Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

I had some issues with this one because I had just finished Yellowface, and sure this is nothing like that. But Daphne decides to publish under a male penname and then she keeps up the lie and even finds a guy to play the part. There is just so much lying. It would have worked so much better if I had not recently read a book about the anger that any lying causes. Big or small.

But yes they get to know each other as Chris needs to know how to play the part of Zane. And the more they lie the closer they come to a big shown down. Because her book becomes a big hit and he is sent to bookfairs and talks in panels. And I kept thinking, people will be maaad.

There is also the romance bit as they get closer. Though to be fair, the romance lacked a bit. It would have made it even more about the romance. Now there was a lot of other things going on.

It was a good book, though do not read it after reading books where people lie about stuff and a trainwreck begins. LOL. Here there is not a trainwreck in that sense because this is in the end a romance. ]]> Review7605955158 Sun, 22 Jun 2025 00:47:56 -0700 /review/show/7605955158 Blodeuedd gave 3 stars to Swordheart (Swordheart, #1) by T. Kingfisher
bookshelves: audiobook, fantasy
I seem to have been bad at writing reviews lately, ooops.

Halla is a widow who worked for her husband´s uncle as a housekeeper. Then he died and left it to her. But his family are total assholes and wants to force her to remarry this idiot so they can keep it in the family. She is not ok with this so they keep her locked up.

In comes a magic sword that she takes down to kill herself with. But oh my out comes a big warrior named Sarkis instead.

And the journey begins, and this is really a journey book. They flee to find help from priest lawyers and the journey there and back are filled with danger and adventures.

I liked Halla, she was just so real. She talked to much in the face of danger, but that was just endearing to me. As for Sarkis he speaks a lot about soft southerners, and his story is a sad one. Being stuck and used for 500 years.

It was a good one and the ending left room for more, but now when I look this came out in 2018 and a maybe is scheduled for next year...but it still ended happily so I can be content with that.

Good narration too ]]> ReadStatus9565292778 Thu, 19 Jun 2025 06:44:59 -0700 /review/show/7434533496 Blodeuedd started reading Finding Mr. Write by Kelley Armstrong
