✨ HAPPY RELEASE DAY ✨ Can I interest you in a lit

✨ HAPPY RELEASE DAY ✨Can I interest you in a little bit of chaos (ok... a lot), a murder mystery and a main character who is a force to reckon with?🌙 Recension: It Runs in the Family (Iris Gardner Mystery #1) by Denise Grover Swank📚 Genre: Mystery, Fiction, Thriller📅 Release Date: September 29, 2026👤 Narrator: Piper Goodeve📗 available in various formats – included in Kindle Unlimited📱 Read as: Audiobook💸 I received a free copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages / Listening Length: 12h 10min⭐️ 4/5Review:If you like your books a little over the top, with characters who take themselves very seriously, a bizarre family dynamic, and everyone deeply involved in everyone else’s business, this one is for you. Add a touch of the supernatural, a few dead people, and a handsome stranger. Not sure what that means? Neither was I, but I loved listening to it as an audiobook, which brought the madness of the story to life brilliantly.Iris has had visions all her life, but they rarely reveal much. Since some family members are a little too eager to profit from her abilities, she has stopped trying to force them. When she suddenly sees a vision of her own death, however, it is impossible to ignore. With her cousin involved, she becomes determined to change what she has seen.The family dynamic was unlike anything I expected. They love and hate each other in equal measure, wrapped up in a charming eccentricity. They can be blunt, honest, and hurtful, yet somehow always show up when it matters, or avoid each other entirely. Their loyalties seem to shift by the minute. I completely embraced it. Was it cliché at times? Absolutely.When Iris meets a handsome stranger who is clearly hiding things, but whom she trusts anyway, the story evolves into a murder mystery. Together they try to uncover the truth and prevent Iris's vision from becoming reality.It's a unique and wonderfully odd experience, and I enjoyed every minute. It will not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was certainly mine. If you accept it for what it is and avoid taking it too seriously, you'll have a great time with it.

✨ HAPPY RELEASE DAY ✨ 🌙 Recension: Undercover Lig

✨ HAPPY RELEASE DAY ✨🌙 Recension: Undercover Light by Yuliana Zaikman📚 Genre: Romance📅 Release Date: September 28, 2026📖 Publisher: Velvet Clue Publishing📗 available in various formats – included in Kindle Unlimited📱 Read as: Kindle💸 I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 355⭐️ 4/5Review:The first words that came to mind after finishing this book were: This one feels like a warm hug. It feels like everything is just a little bit better at the end of the day.Aurora is someone who struggles with a lot of self-doubt and believes that if something goes wrong, it must be her fault. I obviously knew better and kept hoping she would realise that she is one of the kindest and smartest people out there.Then we have Sergei, who initially comes across as a money-driven person who puts his own needs before those of others. Then I learned that he blames himself for what happened to someone dear to his heart and is actually one of the most caring people out there.Our third main character is Daniel, who is so focused on blaming Sergei for what happened months ago that he refuses to accept he might be somewhat blinded in his approach.Aurora and Sergei just worked. They are two people who care so much that I couldn't help rooting for them.The mystery woven into the story made it especially entertaining for me. It felt unique and different, and I appreciated getting a glimpse into a different cultural background. It never felt forced or preachy; instead, it fitted naturally into the narrative.Overall, I liked this one and, especially for all the low-spice readers out there, this book will be for you.romantic suspense, single dad romance, forced proximity, ukrainian hero

✨ HAPPY RELEASE DAY ✨ 🌙 Recension: Sundered Sun (

✨ HAPPY RELEASE DAY ✨🌙 Recension: Sundered Sun (The Sun & Moon Saga #1) by Ann Glimmer📚 Genre: Romantasy📅 Release Date: September 28, 2026📗 available in various formats – included in Kindle Unlimited📱 Read as: Kindle💸 I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 407⭐️ 4/5Review:The premise sounded very interesting. We have two opposing sides that were once united, but when they began vying for power, a rift was created, bringing monsters with it (at least, that’s what everyone believes happened). The frequency of these monster appearances is increasing.On one side, we have Lora from the Moon Kingdom, who is a monster hunter.Then we have Zai, a prince from the Sun Kingdom.Each side comes with unique powers tied to their kingdom. When Lora meets a stranger one day who doesn’t remember where he came from and seems to possess powers from both kingdoms, it marks the beginning of an interesting journey.I love a good setup, and this book handled that part very well. Introducing a character with memory loss was a great way to introduce us to the world and the situation at hand. It gave me the opportunity to slowly learn about the history alongside the character. As he gradually regains his memories, Lora is sent on a mission that leads her to cross paths with Zai, and their first interaction was charged 🙂They both felt a strong physical connection to each other and were unable to forget one another. Both are interested in the mysterious stranger, but they have different goals in mind that do not align.This is also a story that gives us two characters who grew up after losing someone dear to them. They both feel responsible for what happened, but they deal with that guilt in different ways. By the end of the book, the stage is set for both of them and for what’s to come. With this being a duology, I’m looking forward to seeing how their story unfolds.
