Meine letzte Rezension Kiss the Villain (Deluxe Edition) von Rina Kent
Let me be honest: my expectations were in the gutter. I read the first of Rina Kent’s God of… books and hated every second of it—so I walked into Kiss the Villain already side-eyeing the first page. But then it hit me with MM energy, chaotic obsession, and fanfic-style pining, and suddenly I was hooked. This book? It’s unhinged in the best way. One of the characters has this fanfic delulu Draco Malfoy vibe that I could not get enough of. I’m talking, “He’s sick? I hope he dies—ugh, fine I’ll bring him soup” levels of unhinged. The hatred? Hilarious. The tension? Amazinh. The slow unraveling of obsession and emotion? I was eating it up like the soup he pretended not to care about. The chemistry between the leads? Off. The. Charts. It’s enemies to lovers with the emotional maturity of a grenade, and I loved it. Their back-and-forth is filled with bite, pain, lust, and just enough vulnerability to make your chest ache. So why not five stars? One simple reason: the kink wasn’t for me. Personal taste. It wasn’t bad or poorly written, just not something I’m into. It pulled me out a bit—but not enough to ruin the experience. The rest of the book had me too wrapped up in the madness to care for long. Soooo- now im reading all of them xD

    Harry Potter 1 and the Philosopher's Stone

    While I adore all the Harry Potter books—mostly for the nostalgia and the fact that Stephen Fry narrates them like a wizard casting a spell over me—I have to admit that the first book isn’t my favorite. It’s like the intro to a grand adventure, a bit more childish, but it sets the stage for what’s to come. What I really love is how the series grows up with you, just like the Gryffindor gang. And let's talk about character growth—Draco Malfoy, anyone? This kid starts off as your typical spoiled brat, but by the end, he’s a complex, conflicted teen just trying to protect his family. That kind of development? Chef’s kiss. The way motivations and feelings are woven through the story is chef's kiss again, honestly. Some characters have arcs that’ll make you cheer, and others will leave you emotionally wrecked. Snape’s comments, while completely unhinged and borderline offensive, are often so ridiculously funny I can’t help but snort. And then there’s Umbridge... she’s the kind of character you love to hate (and laugh at how perfectly hateable she is). In short, this book series will make you laugh, cry, and think—and sometimes all at once.

    Brothersong

    Brothersong is the stunning and emotional conclusion to T.J. Klune's Green Creek series, and I’m still trying to process how wrecked it left me. I devoured all four books in the span of a week, and while each one had its unique magic, Brothersong delivered a perfect ending that tied everything together. The intricate relationships between the brothers—built on years of loyalty, love, and sacrifice—are deeply moving, and the romantic relationship at the heart of this story is everything I could have asked for. What I loved most about this final book was how Klune tied up the overarching plotline with the "villain" that had haunted the characters for so long. It felt like a full-circle moment, watching that part of the story finally come to an end with such care and resolution. Kirt Graves’ narration brought even more life to this beautiful, heartbreaking story. His voice, the way he captured the emotions, made this book even more unforgettable. It’s a story that will stay with me, always in my heart, and I'm sure I’ll revisit it again and again.

    The Score

    I’m a sucker for the male playboy falls in love trope—seriously, sign me up every time. Elle Kennedy is my go-to New Adult author for this, though I’ll admit her books can be a bit hit and miss. The Deal and The Score? I adore them. But, unfortunately, the other books in the Off-Campus series don't quite hit the same mark for me. (Totally subjective, of course, but hey, it’s my review!) Let’s focus on The Score. I’ve read it three times in 2024 because it’s exactly what I was in the mood for: cute, fluffy, with just the right amount of smut that doesn’t overshadow the plot. What really makes this book shine for me is how the male lead falls hard for the “quirky,” “imperfect” girl. That’s what makes The Deal and The Score so special—the girls aren’t just perfect by some beauty standard, but because they’re the perfect match for the guys who genuinely fall in love with them. Now, the thing that I didn’t vibe with in the Briar U series is the repeated emphasis on how the female characters are constantly reminding us (and themselves) how pretty they are, with everyone lusting after them. I’m just... not here for that. I want the love to feel real, and that’s exactly what The Deal and The Score deliver.

    My Oxford Year

    This one? Pure comfort. Like a warm drink on a rainy day or a soft blanket wrapped around your heart. The Oxford Year is cute, fluffy, and full of that delicious “American girl goes to England and accidentally falls into feelings” trope—and I ate it up. No regrets. Until it is not. Then it gets the Jojo Moyes „Me Before You“ Vibes. And then the funny story turned sad really fast. I listened to the audiobook, which is read by Julia Whelan herself (because apparently being a talented writer and a dreamy narrator is just something she does), and let me tell you—her voice brings it to life in such a unique, grounded way. Total bonus points there. The story itself is easy to love: smart American girl Ella heads to Oxford with political dreams and a don’t-look-at-me-I’m-focused mindset… until she meets a very charming local boy with secrets of his own. You think you know where it’s going—and in some ways, you do—but then- you really don‘t. There were couple of things that truly stuck with me: the way Jamie talks with his mom and their line they have. The relationship between father and son- which had a beautiful climax and made me cry. A solid 5 Star book.

    A Court of Mist and Fury. Acotar Adult Edition

    Okay, let’s get this out of the way first: the A Court of Thorns and Roses series as a whole is chef’s kiss. But if I had to choose a favorite, it’s absolutely A Court of Mist and Fury. This book is the emotional rollercoaster we all deserve—and then some. I’ve been on Team Rhysand since the moment he appeared, and honestly, who can blame me? This book redefines what it means to be a book boyfriend (sorry, Tamlin, but no one’s buying your brooding routine anymore). Sarah J. Maas is practically the reigning queen of romance, and I stand by that claim with full confidence. She has a way of making you fall in love with characters you didn’t even think you’d like. A Court of Mist and Fury brings the drama, the banter, and that oh-so-sweet slow burn that makes you want to throw your book across the room (in a good way, of course). And let’s talk about the plot twists. SJM writes those like she’s out here collecting hearts as trophies. The twists in this book? Chef’s kiss. One moment you’re thinking, “Oh, I’m just casually enjoying a nice fantasy romance,” and then wham—you’re sobbing, laughing, and thinking, “Am I okay? Do I need therapy now?” But seriously, the way this book develops Feyre’s character and shows her growth, inner strength, and relationships? Gold star. And don’t even get me started on Rhysand’s goodness. He’s the kind of fictional character who makes you believe in love and makes you question if it’s possible to be this perfect (spoiler: it’s not, but we’re still happy to read about him).

    The House in the Cerulean Sea

    Okay, where do I even begin with The House in the Cerulean Sea? This book is everything. It’s like a warm hug wrapped in magic, with a sprinkle of whimsy and a dash of heartache. Seriously, if I could live in this book, I would. If you’re looking for a book that’s equal parts quirky, heartwarming, and thought-provoking, then this is it. The characters? Chef’s kiss. Linus Baker is an adorable, buttoned-up man who just wants to follow the rules, and then he’s sent to this mysterious orphanage with the most unusual children. And I’m not talking about a kid with glasses who can make animals out of clay. No, no, no—this place is full of actual magical children, including a boy who’s a dragon, a girl who is a garden gnomw, and a boy who might be the Antichrist- Lucy. And then, of course, there’s Arthur, the charming, enigmatic caretaker who completely steals your heart (good luck not falling in love with him, by the way). The way T.J. Klune weaves humor, love, and deep emotional growth into this story is nothing short of genius. It’s lighthearted and fun, but there’s this undercurrent of profound tenderness and understanding. It makes you think about the world, about people who don’t fit into society’s neat little boxes, and how we should love them anyway. This book will make you laugh, cry, and possibly believe in magic again. If you haven’t read this yet, what are you waiting for? Go grab it. Your heart will thank you later.

    King of Greed

    Ana Huang’s writing style is consistently solid, and that’s something I truly appreciate. Her writing is dependable—whether or not you connect with her characters is really a matter of personal taste. There are definitely some characters in her previous books I didn’t quite gel with, but King of Greed brought something fresh to the table. What really stood out to me in this book was the fact that the couple was already married. This choice gave her usual plot structure a fun and interesting twist. Instead of the typical will-they-won’t-they dynamic, Huang was able to explore the complexities and depth of a married couple, which added a layer of stability and richness to the story. It was a refreshing take on her familiar tropes, and I really enjoyed seeing how she made the relationship work with that unique starting point.

    Dark Heir

    Dark Hier is the kind of sequel that makes you look back at the first book and say, “Okay, I see now why that world-building was necessary.” But this book? This is where the magic happens. Dark Hier is a perfect continuation of the story. It takes everything the first book set up and dives deeper, faster, and darker. I couldn't put it down. By the time we hit this second book, I was already invested, but Pacat pulls you in even more. The world is fully fleshed out, and the stakes are higher than ever. We’re no longer just learning about the world and its rules—we’re living it. There’s action, political intrigue, and twists that make you want to scream and cheer at the same time. The characters have evolved so much, and I’m loving how complex they are. Everyone’s got their own agenda, their own motivations, and yet you can’t help but fall for them (yes, even the morally questionable ones). There’s a lot of tension, both in the plot and between the characters, and it makes for some seriously addictive reading. And the romance? Don’t even get me started. It’s slow-burn, it’s tangled, and it’s exactly the kind of intense, complicated love that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The emotional pull in this book is real—your heart is going to race, then break, and you’ll love every second of it. Something I genuinely enjoyed were Will's one-liners at the end of chapters. Ugh, perfection So, yeah, 5 stars.

    Funny Story

    Funny Story by Emily Henry is the kind of book that sneaks up on you. You think it's just going to be a lighthearted comedy about people navigating life, but then—BAM—it's also heartwarming, thoughtful, and hits you right in the feels, with outrageous moments that make you gasp out:"No! This did not JUST happen!" I laughed, I snorted, I rolled my eyes at the perfect amount of cringe-worthy moments—and then I immediately felt something deep and real that I didn’t expect. Henry’s skill at blending humor with raw emotion is a superpower at this point. Five stars. No question.

    How My Neighbour Stole Christmas

    If you’re looking for a Christmas romance that’s equal parts steamy, hilarious, and downright enjoyable, then How My Neighbor Stole Christmas is the holiday treat you didn’t know you needed. Seriously, this book is like the Grinch’s hotter, funnier cousin who’s here to steal your heart and leave you with a smile. First off, let’s talk about those Grinch rhymes at the beginning of each chapter. They’re the kind of quirky, clever touch that makes this book stand out, and I couldn’t help but grin every time I turned the page. But don’t let the playful rhymes fool you—this book brings the heat. The romance? Smutty and sizzling. The banter? Hilarious. The chemistry between the characters? Off the charts. So, if you’re looking for a fun, smutty, Christmas romance that will have you laughing and feeling festive, How My Neighbor Stole Christmas is your next must-read. Five stars—because who wouldn’t want to read about a hot neighbor stealing Christmas (and maybe your heart)?
