✨ Why It's On Our TBR

Balm and Bone by K. Grey is officially on our TBR, and we’re already excited to dive in. The promise of war-torn magick, deep lore, and a slow-burn mentor-to-lover dynamic makes it feel like the kind of story that will linger long after the last page. Asael’s struggle with power, healing, and identity in a broken world is exactly the sort of journey we love following. We are drawn to dark, detailed romantasy with yearning at its core and this is one we can’t wait to read. 🌙📚

✨ Why It's On Our TBR

We're excited to add this to my TBR because it centers on a reluctant queen carrying immense grief while being forced into dangerous court alliances she never asked for. The enemies-to-allies dynamic with a vampire prince she despises promises slow-burn tension, political intrigue, and lines that blur in all the best ways. We're especially drawn to stories where power is worn quietly and healing has to happen under public pressure. With ancient vampire threats, tested loyalties, and fate tangled up with the heart, this feels like a romantasy we'll sink into and savor. 🌙📚

✨ Why It's On Our TBR

Blackshear is on our TBR because “Camp Blackshear” already sounds like the kind of place you don’t leave the same person you arrived. Best friends to lovers and second chance is our weakness, especially when the stakes are dangerous and personal. Add an obsessive MMC, a stalker ex, and forced proximity roommates while a secret society closes in? Yeah… We're obsessed already. And the FBI/witness protection angle makes it feel like love isn’t just risky—it’s evidence. 🕯️
