I love how witty the author of this book even i was confused at first how much more as a writer right? I love how creative and original the plot is. It will really open your imagination and you can't keep second guessing who really is the killer of the story. Even i thought it Cain at first, then comes leo's revelation, then Marigold's stalking and reseaching skills, and here come Whit who had all the connections to the murdered people just like Cain. It's fun guessing who really is the killer!
Truely thankful to NetGalley and to publisher for giving me an advance copy of this book. I'll definitely rate it 5.0/5 ⭐...more

A heart-rending story of Aurielle, the key keeper who fell in love with a god and Nixus, the god of darkness who was trapped in a spell. The story and concept felt original and the introduction of the book will hooked you into reading and will compel you to finished the book. Maci Aurora did a great job in retelling the story of the golden key. The wishes and obligations are facinating and well thought. It reminds me of Genie and Aladdin.
I love that Auri, is a strong feminist character who wants to make the world better for herself and her family. And that Nix, is a lovable villain. I never expected that I would loved their romantic love story that gets steamy as you read the book. Can't wait for the book two, though I still believe that Auri is also a Goddess like Nix. I also appreciate that trigger warning was mentioned at the beginning of the book so that readers will be prepared mentally.
Thank you Netgalley and to Mixed Plate Press for the advanced copy. I totally loved this one! I'll rate this book a 4.0/5....more

"If I want the world to recognize what I am truly capable of, I have to show them."
My Mechanical Romance is a YA read about Bel, an artsy, unmotivated high school senior who inadvertently reveals an aptitude for physics when a Macgyvered school assignment lands her on her school’s highly competitive combat robotics team. Her design capabilities catch the interest of the school’s heartthrob and team captain Teo. (hello, academic rivals to lovers!)
you don't have to make the world perfect just so people will love you.
What I like about this book is the highlight on the challenges of being a female in a male dominated field was such a good accost. It also tackles some serious issues including a child/siblings that were hurt and torn between a divorced parents. (okay, also that some Filipino terms was used in the book!) Overall, I'll rate this book 4/5.
Btw, thank you so much to NetGalley and publisher for the ARCs! I totally enjoyed reading this book!
Aces Wild: A Heist is a young adult, bit thriller, and an LGBTQ+. It's a wild ride with a crew of asexual in Las Vegas. The first thing that got me reAces Wild: A Heist is a young adult, bit thriller, and an LGBTQ+. It's a wild ride with a crew of asexual in Las Vegas. The first thing that got me reading this book was casinos, illegal gambling, and the heist. The first few chapter was exciting but I was expecting more of a Heist thingy. The revelation at the end was a bit expected and was a bit confused with some scenes. I think would be better if asexuality was explained more. But i like their chapter headings, so witty! Writing was good, I like the humor and the MC's narration. Overall, I'll rate this book 3.5/5
My name is Jack Shannon, and this is not a love story. It’s a confession.
(view spoiler)[Some of my fave lines in the book: - The coward’s way out, but that’s why social media was invented. To fulfill social obligations without having to actually speak to anyone. -Work smart, not hard. If they won’t give it to you, then take it. Don’t let a challenge go unanswered - All it takes is a little bit of money and a lot of sense to be dangerous, - That was the thing about bad decisions. Once you got to like the taste of them, it was hard to stop. - Just don’t look so hard toward the future that you forget the people you want in it.” (hide spoiler)]

It's a bit funny actually (view spoiler)[The hangover and the pooping scene (hide spoiler)] and it has a compelling aura that will keep you reading chapter by chapter. The storyline is predictable but if you're into chill and quick read, and magical realism then you should read this book. But overall, it's a 3.5/5 for me.
Some of my fave lines on the book (view spoiler)[- "Yes, I am sad. So what? People don’t always get what they want." - "I come back because this is the best you. I like you much this way. Other times you are different. Not so nice. This you is the best you.” - "Many strange things in life cannot be explained. It is that way now, and it has always been that way." (hide spoiler)]
Burn Down, Rise Up is a creepy, suspenseful, mysterious and with a bit of supernatural. I really enjoyed reading this book, characters are relatable (Burn Down, Rise Up is a creepy, suspenseful, mysterious and with a bit of supernatural. I really enjoyed reading this book, characters are relatable (I like how the MC grow from start to end), twisty action and adventure of the MC and her friends to save Francisco and Charlize, the real friendship between Raquel and Aaron and their love for the Bronx!
As I read (or listen since I got the audiobook) through it, I keep relating it to our society nowadays, It takes one to stand up for the rotten society. Stand up to stop issues such as racism, gender discrimination and sexual orientation. We need one like Raquel who represent all to stand up and stop the rotten minds of some.
This is such a fast paced book, I sometimes get confused with some details in the story and writing is sometimes flat. But overall, my rating for this book is a 4.0/5.
Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for giving me an advance copy for this book!
