Creepella Reads

 Hello Ink Drinkers!  March was a really good reading month. It was a bit risky because I had quite a few ARCs from mostly new-to-me authors, but I enjoyed most of them.  I won't go into full reviews here, so I'll include those in later posts (I'm still trying to figure out how I want this blog and the posts to work). I'm leaning towards the wrap-ups being summaries with the information for the books and just star ratings.  Moniker, by Wrenna King Dark Voices #1 400 pages, e-book Dark Romance ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ARC copy provided by Luna Literary Management The Hazard and the Hitman, by Cambria Hebert The Protectors #1 392 pages, e-book Dark Romance, MM Romance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ARC copy provided by The Author Agency Get a Q, by Nicole Parker A Sentient Holiday Series Spin-Off 108 pages, e-book Sentient Object Romance, MM Romance ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ARC copy provided by the author Unholy, by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine Park Avenue Kings #6 279 pages, e-book MM Romance, Second Chance Romance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ARC copy p...

  Introduction and Information Salutations Readers,  Last year I saw someone on Instagram post a themed reading challenge/plan. It was a non-fiction historical theme and one of the books discussed scurvy. Long story short, I've always been fascinated with historical diseases, especially the Black Death, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to read all about diseases to my dark heart's content.  Most of the diseases are historical and I tried to stick to diseases that have quite a bit of infamy, would offer numerous book options and that I had heard of, obviously. That being said, this is not an exhaustive list.  I wanted to match most month's diseases and book selections to a holiday, or rough theme for that particular month. Here is where I would like to preface that I have a darker sense of humor that won't be appreciated by everyone. However, this isn't a requirement, so please feel free to read the books in any order you like.  This will be a v...

Greetings Ink Drinkers,  Here is the rough breakdown for my star rating system. I will mostly keep to this, but how I rate books is pretty flexible and subject to my ever-shifting moods and whims.  1-2 Stars - I didn’t care for anything here (characters, story, writing, etc.). 3 Stars - I enjoyed the book enough to finish it. However, I had issues with one or more items (story, characters, pacing, etc.). 4 Stars - I fully enjoyed this book - the characters, the writing, the story, the pacing...it all worked for me. 5 Stars - I LOVED this book. All of the same things as 4 star, but it also struck a chord with me...usually made me grin like an idiot too. No Stars - this was a mismatch between book and reader, but nothing was inherently wrong with the book. While I do want to share my opinions about books with fellow readers, most of it is fairly subjective. So I don't want to be too harsh on a book or author that is perfectly fine, even if they're not for me.  Hopefull...
