Trickery curse of the gods series6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t remember exact events that happened within each book. I’ll be honest – I inhaled these so quickly (like, 1-2 a day) that I don’t remember much. Then suddenly I was 5 books and a novella in and didn’t know what to do with my life. After having read the Seraphim Academy series by Elizabeth Briggs and learning that I’m not so opposed to Reverse Harem stories as I thought I was – I opted to give the first book a try. This series has been on my radar for a while now – the first book sat in my “Saved For Later” Amazon cart for months. I’m still kind of on it, but I’ve moved back into YA for a moment – there are a few books I’ve been meaning to read, and I do need a little bit of a break. I’m still blaming A Court of Silver Flames. As you all know, I was on a spicy, steamy, smut kick. ![]() Ernst jünger storm of steel6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() We love original content and self-posts!
