Incubus (Fairwick Chronicles Book 1) by Carol Goodman

Hi ForeverBookers, 

This was a great book. It's got a romantic plot line (which I loved) as well as a darker more mystical plot line as well. The romance doesn't really start until half way through the book but when it does start it's good. 

Callie becomes a teacher at Fairwick College. She had to leave her boyfriend in the city as he hadn't finished his degree. Fairwick is a mystical place though, filled with creatures who aren't human, as well as normal humans. 
Callie has erotic dreams, after she moves there. Dreams that have been given to her by her incubus. 
At first Callie stays in an Inn in Fairwick because she doesn't have anywhere else to stay. But she sees this Victorian house and decides to buy it and live there. There are mysteries that surround the house. 
We get to know a couple of Callie's students and a lot of her colleagues at the college throughout the book. These characters add to the story. I didn't find anyone to be out of place while reading. 
All of Callie's colleagues are a mystery at the beginning of the story until it's revealed that their not quite what they say they are. When they do reveal their true selves Callie is shocked but comes to be friends with most of them. She bonds to one of them a little too much. Callie's students are also a mystery (one in particular). 
The end was interesting as well as a little scary. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Callie and everyone else in the book. The first person perspective really helped here I believe as I was able to see from Callie's point of view throughout the novel.

This book has sexual situations as well as a few swear words scattered throughout so it's not for younger readers. 

I really enjoyed this book. It gets a 4 stars just because some of the chapters weren't needed I feel. The author could have also extended some scenes to make more of them as well. I look forward to reading Water Witch (#2) next...

The Forest Of Adventures (The Knight Trilogy #1) by Katie M John

Hi ForeverBookers,  I have a new book to add to my list of favourites! The Forest Of Adventures is a great book if you love romance, adventure and history/fantasy as it has all of those elements.  This book is mature in some aspects so I'd say only age 16+ readers should read it. It doesn't get graphic but sex is still brought up.  We see from Mina's perspective throughout so the main girl in this story, who's seventeen years old. She's at college when she sits next to a boy, Blake Beldevier. He's a very charmingly mysterious guy. Mina is already in a relationship with Sam. A guy she's known from years before this book starts but she's attracted to Blake. When Sam sees Mina walking with Blake one afternoon at college, he gets angry and has a car crash. The rest of the book centres around this accident and Mina's relationship with Blake as well as other characters, her mother for instance who has always wanted Mina to marry Sam when she...

A Court Of Silver Flames (ACOTAR #5) by Sarah J Maas Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  How have you all been since the beginning of 2024? I haven’t checked in much, I know, but I’ve still been reading! Last night, I finished “A Court of Silver Flames” (“ACOSF”),  by Sarah J Maas, which I ABSOLUTELY ADORED! It was so, so, so, so, SOOOOO good!!!  It tells the story of Nesta, rather than Feyre, the character which the other “ACOTAR” books have all focused on. I honestly didn’t think I would like it much because I’m a total Feyre and the man she ends up with fangirl and I REALLY didn’t like Nesta in the other books or what there was of her, anyway, but OMG was I WRONG! Never judge a book, until you’ve read it, is all I’ll say… “ACOSF” is told from 3rd person POV which I thought I’d hate, because I like being inside the main female character’s head and seeing and feeling exactly what she is. Nesta, while told from 3rd person POV though, has a huge breakthrough with the reader, I believe. She was a very hateful character in the first b...

Leave The Night On (CottonBloom #4) by Laura Trentham Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you all today?  I've just finished "Leave The Night On", another great contemporary book! It's still summer, right? ☀️.  4.5 Stars! I think people would like this if they like ADULT small town romances, fun/caring characters with substance, and a decent plot. NOTE: Leave The Night On is an adult read due to sexual content and lying/scheming. Leave The Night On  is book 4 in the Cottonbloom series. I didn't know this before I looked on Goodreads, after I had requested it on NetGalley. It luckily works as a stand alone, though. Netgalley should really tell those requesting books where the book comes in the series, though, I think, or if the book is a standalone. That might be something that NetGalley can improve on in the future? Thanks to Netgalley for this e-arc.    Leave The Night On  starts with Wyatt, our lead male character who works in a garage with his brothers. Wyatt is a twin. Jackson is his ...
