We have a mini ARC review for the upcoming release, Wicked Onyx by Debbie Cassidy 🤌🏼🖤
Releasing Feb 2026!

So thankful for a review copy of this. And let me tell you, this story blew me away. I could not get enough. It was absolutely incredible.
✨
Everything was so unique and the magic system was intriguing and so well thought out! The world was perfectly written and described. I felt completely immersed while reading this.

Now, our FMC is one of a kind and I very much enjoyed her. She had some pretty in depth layers and I love that about a character. 🖤
Don’t get me started on the MMCs, I’ll be here for hours.😂

Also, we ALL know that I love my found family tropes, so I very much enjoyed that dynamic in this story! ✨
Honestly, I had nothing but wonderful things to say about this book and if it isn’t on your TBR yet, run and add it because this is going to be an absolute hit.‼️🔥

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I cannot explain how much I loved this book!
The world is immaculate and the story is unique and gripping. 🤌🏼

Tisaanah is such an amazing, resilient, and bad ass FMC. I am completely obsessed with the depth in her character. (In all of the characters for that matter)🙌
I am also very much obsessed with Max. The relationship they built throughout this book was subtle, filled with tension, and beautifully written.❤️

I absolutely HAVE to have book two ASAP because, OH MY GOSHHHHHH.

Featuring the cute little beaded book mark I made to go with it. 🤌🏼
The snake, the butterfly, the colors. I thought they went so perfectly with this book! What do you think?🤔

QOTD: what is one trope you couldn’t go without.👀

Recent buys 👀🖤

I’ve been seeing so MANY people rave about Dear Reader, so I couldn’t pass up adding it to my collection. I mean, a why choose dark romance? I’m ALWAYS looking for more of those!🤌🏼✨

And Pretty Monster is a book that I have grabbed for a book box I’ve packed up and absolutely NEEDED it.
You know, one of those little gems that you stumbled upon and thought “alright, that sounds SO GOOD” 😩🖤

I’m SO excited to add these to the shelves/TBR jar!
This is looking like another great year of reads.😈

This book had me hooked from the very first page.
And I’m telling you, if you also like the Bonds That Tie series, you will SUCK THIS DOWN.🤌🏼🖤
I was so engrossed in this book that it was next to impossible to pull me away from it.
Less than 24 hours later and I’m grappling for the next one.

The characters. The plots twists. Everything was literal perfection!
I cannot handle how much I absolutely LOVED Sadie and I KNOW there is going to be much more to her as we move through the series.
And the guys? 🥵😮‍💨
I 100% recommend this book, because it’ll be your next favorite.🤌🏼
