Brothersong by TJ Klune
3.0
Brothersong follows Carter as he’s looking for his mate Gavin to free him from his father Robert Livingston even at risk of becoming an Omega himself. It’s a story of self discovery and acceptance, family and love.
Personally I didn’t love this book, but I think my problems lie in the book being about werewolves, because some parts of it felt a bit awkward. Also the whole relationship between Carter and Kelly felt completely off, it almost felt romantic which was quite uncomfortable to read. Also Carter as a main character was not the best, I related to his struggles with being the oldest sibling, however I didn’t like how he kept calling Gavin dude or man even after he was told through the whole book to stop calling him that.
Gavin on the other end I really liked, and I would have probably enjoyed this book more if he was the MC.
The narration style was great, the author writing just works for me every single time, hence why I’ll always get their books no matter what.
Overall if you like werewolves I recommend this entire series, because it most definitely will work for you.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ecopy of this book.

Pupposites Attract 1 by Hono Natsuna

This was such a cute read! I can’t wait to keep going with this series. Tsubu and Monjuro reminded me so much of my own two dogs, especially Tsubu! I can’t wait to see where the romance that started out here is going to go. Definitely highly recommend this manga if you’re looking for a cute and fluffy read!

The City of Stardust by Georgia Summers
2.0
I thought this had a good premise, however because of the narrating style it ended up not having a solid worldbuilding or making characters that you could get attached to. The plot was underwhelming as well, since we started off with an objective and ended up giving up on it and move to another one.
