About Me

Hi, I'm Suzanne. Proofreader by day, book blogger by night, devourer of books 24/7. My reading tastes: Basically you name it, I probably like it. I read a lot of contemporary and historical, both adult and YA, and I've also been enjoying more and more fantasy lately. Hobbies include: buying and hoarding of books, rambling about books to anyone who will listen, and trying to recommend books to my family and friends whether they are readers or not - because seriously, how can you not love to read books?

🎃 Review - A HEXCELLENT CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE 🎃

Author - Ann Rose

Pub Date - 9/9/25

A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love is a cute sapphic romance that is perfect for spooky season. I loved the unique premise of having a cursed Halloween store that pops up in a new location in town every year and then disappears two days after Halloween as if it never existed, and that Pepper, one of our main characters, is trapped by this curse and tied to the store so that she too disappears without a trace every November 2nd. If Pepper wants to break the curse, she’ll have to convince someone else to take her place or trick them into doing so. The idea that not even Pepper’s family would remember that she was missing from year to year requires some suspension of disbelief, but I chalked that up to the nature of the curse and happily kept reading.

In the five years she has been trapped, Pepper has not really thought about trying to break the curse, but then she meets Christina who has come to the store shopping for supplies to build a haunted house for the school where she works. Pepper falls for Christina and the feelings are mutual, so Pepper hates knowing that after November 2nd, she will disappear and Christina will forget all about her, and thus starts pondering how to break the curse.

I thoroughly enjoyed the friends to lovers romance between Christina and Pepper. Even though it happens fairly quickly, I thought their growing connection felt authentic, so it was easy to feel Pepper’s dilemma about whether or not to try to tell Christina about the curse. I loved their interactions both at the store and at the haunted house, where Pepper pitches in to help. They have a natural chemistry, which makes it all the easier to root for a way to break the curse & give them both a happily ever after.

Sarah Beth Goer & Imani Jade Powers narrate the audiobook & they made the chemistry between Pepper & Christina palpable & captured both the fun & the more suspenseful moments as the countdown to the store disappearing.

👻 SPOOKY SEASON BOOK RECS 👻 Happy Monday, b

👻 SPOOKY SEASON BOOK RECS 👻

Happy Monday, book friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that you were able to fit some quality reading time into your schedule.

Now that October is almost upon us, I thought it would be fun to share some book recs for Spooky Season. If you know me, you know I don’t really like to be scared so if you’re looking for truly scary books, this isn’t the list for you.

Instead, this post is filled with some of my favorite reads that feature paranormal romance (especially romcoms), cozy and and/or magical fall and Halloween vibes, and some of my favorite thrillers. There are plenty of witchy reads, some ghosts, a couple of vampires, werewolves, cryptids, and even a haunted house or two on my rec list.

I have also included a slide with my own spooky season TBR so you can see what books I’ll be reading and reviewing throughout October. My most anticipated from that slide are Dead and Breakfast (vampires), Violet Thistlewaite is Not a Villain Anymore (plant witch), Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil (vampires), and Witches of Dubious Origin (cozy).

Happy Spooky Season Reading! 👻

❓QOTD - Have you read any of these or are any of them on your TBR? Do you have any additional recs to add to the list? If so, comment them below.

Shares and reposts are also much appreciated!

Review - IT HAD TO BE HIM

Author - Adib Khorram

Pub Date - 9/2/25

The synopsis for It Had to Be Him describes it as Heartstopper meets Eat Pray Love, which is the perfect description for it. It’s a spicy, second chance romance that follows two former high school classmates, both of whom had secret crushes on the other, when they unexpectedly reuinite while vacationing in Italy.

When we meet Ramin, he is proposing to his long-time boyfriend and unexpectedly gets dumped and told he’s boring. Not only is Ramin heartbroken, but this also really shakes his self-confidence and so he books a spontaneous Italian vacation to prove his ex wrong. He’s not looking for love, but when he runs into Noah, his high school crush, at a gelateria, it feels a bit like kismet.

Noah is recently divorced and has become somewhat of a recluse. He still has a healthy relationship with his ex and when she insists that he joins her and their son on an Italian vacation, Noah reluctantly agrees to go. He’s mainly just going through the motions on the trip until he runs into Ramin and the two of them connect and start spending a lot of time together.

I loved the emotional depth of the connection between Ramin and Noah. They’re both at vulnerable moments in their lives, Ramin especially, and it scares Ramin how much Noah really sees him in a way that his ex never did. Noah is also working hard to be the best dad he can be to his son, unlike his own dad. Noah’s personality is very nurturing and he takes the same care with Ramin’s emotions as he does with his own family. I was rooting so hard for these two to find a path forward together once they returned home.

Beautifully written, with multi-layered characters so real you feel like you know them, It Had to Be Him is perfect for fans of steamy, second chance romances.

The audiobook is narrated by Corvin King & Vikas Adam, and I was captivated by the way they captured both the fun & the more emotional moments of Noah & Ramin’s time together.

🚗🧛🏻‍♂️ Review - ROAD TRIP WITH A VAMPIRE 🧛🏻‍♂️🚗

Author - Jenna Levine

Pub Date - 9/23/25

Road Trip with a Vampire is the third and final book in the My Vampires paranormal romcom series.

Zelda is a witch trying to distance herself from her past where she is known as Griselda the Terrible. Zelda now teaches yoga in California and tries not to use her magic, if at all possible. Zelda’s new life is going fairly well, that is until a vampire named Peter who apparently has amnesia shows up on her doorstep, courtesy of her vampire friend, Reggie, who we have met in the previous books. Reggie has sent Peter to Zelda, thinking she can help him get his memory back.

Zelda just wants to live her life and teach yoga in peace, but she can’t resist trying to help Peter even if it means taking a cross country road trip in an effort to retrace Peter’s steps and see if any place mentioned in his journal helps to jog his memory. This leads to a series of fun rom-com antics, sexual tension as the two of them are clearly attracted to one another, some forced proximity and only one bed action, as well as some wonderful bonding as the two of them are really on such similar journeys to find themselves.

I loved how this story is a perfect balance between laugh out loud humor and banter, more heartfelt moments as both characters grow throughout the story, and then even some suspense as Peter tries to remember who he is & keeps encountering people who know him and are terrified.

This book works as a standalone but it’s even better if you have read the first two since there are cameos featuring the earlier couples. Plus, you just have to experience Reggie, who is such a hoot.

I did an immersive read and thought Amanda Stribling’s narration was so entertaining. The voices used were unique & she did a great job of highlighting both the humor & the tender moments between Zelda & Peter.

I have loved this series and I’m bummed that it’s over, but this final book is my favorite yet!

🍂 Review - THE HEARTBREAK HOTEL 🍂

Author - Ellen O’Clover

Pub Date - 9/23/25

(Physical copy purchased by me)

Until she and her boyfriend moved in together, Louisa had never lived in a place that truly felt like home. She pours her heart and soul into making the beautiful house feel like hers so it’s all the more devastating when her famous musician boyfriend cheats on her & they break up. Louisa can’t afford to live there on her own, so she comes up with a plan to persuade her landlord Henry to let her run it as a bed and breakfast. Louisa is studying to become a licensed therapist and decides to market the B ’n B as The Comeback Inn, a retreat for the broken hearted so that she can use her training to help people.

Henry is a reclusive veterinarian who is grieving a huge loss, which is why he is renting out this house rather than living in it himself. No one is more surprised than him when he agrees to let Louisa run it as a bed and breakfast, but there’s just something about Louisa and her obvious love of his home that really gets to him. Even though he has always avoided the house, he finds himself coming around more and more to lend a hand as Louisa needs it.

I really enjoyed everything about this book! I loved the overall concept and fell hard for both Louisa and Henry. They both have such heartbreaking and complicated pasts, and I loved that working on this hotel together allows them to connect and start to heal together. The romance itself is a slow burn since they both have so much personal baggage they need to work through first, but I thought the progression of the relationship felt very realistic and their chemistry was wonderful. I also loved the found family element as Louisa bonds with the guests who stay at the B ’n B.

Brittany Pressley narrates the audiobook and she is brilliant as always, perfectly capturing the deep emotions Louisa and Henry are working through, as well as the overall hopeful tone of the story.

Highly recommend this one!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

WILD REVERENCE by Rebecca Ross

Pub Date - 9/2/25

Wild Reverence is a prequel to Ross’s popular Letters of Enchantment duology. I did struggle to get into it at first because the pacing is slow, but Ross’s writing is so beautiful & atmospheric that I stuck with it & ended up enjoying it. My favorite part is that it features a goddess x mortal romance between Matilda, a goddess who serves as a messenger between realms, and Vincent, a mortal she befriends in his dreams and then meets in the waking world when she delivers him a message. Their romance is a slow burn and full of so much yearning, and had me captivated. Narrators Rebecca Norfolk, Hannah van der Westhuysen, and George Weightman do a wonderful job bringing this story to life. ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️

THE ENCHANTED GREENHOUSE by Sarah Beth Durst

Pub Date - 7/15/25

Sarah Beth Durst is fast becoming one of my go-to authors when I’m in the mood for a whimsical and cozy fantasy. In this story, a woman named Terlu is turned into a statue as punishment for a magical crime. She wakes up 5 years later on a magical deserted island filled with enchanted greenhouses whose magic has gone wrong, and she works with Yarrow, the cute grumpy gardener whose home she ends up staying in, to try to save the greenhouses and their plants. I loved the whimsical worldbuilding, especially the flying cats & talking plants, & enjoyed the chemistry between Terlu & Yarrow. Caitlin Davies’ narration is as magical as the story itself is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

ONE DARK WINDOW by Rachel Gillig (Purchased by me, Book #17 in my 25 in 2025 challenge)

Pub Date - 9/27/22

I’m not entirely sure I completely understood the magical system in this fantasy, but it was still one heck of a ride! I loved the haunting Gothic vibes, & the premise of the main character Elspeth having forbidden magic & the spirit of a monster in her head that, along with Rayvn, the guard’s captain, will help her save her kingdom from dark magic. Lisa Cordileone’s narration was great, especially the scenes where we can hear the monster.

📚 Review - WE MET LIKE THIS 📚

Author - Kasie West

Pub Date - 9/16/25

I have always enjoyed Kasie West’s YA romance books, so I was excited to read her adult debut, We Met Like This. I went into this one blind and found it to be absolutely delightful!

Margot is a hopeless romantic who dreams of a perfect meet-cute where she finally finds her Mr. Right. She keeps reluctantly turning to dating apps to meet men since she isn’t finding Mr. Right out in the wild but somehow keeps getting matched with Oliver over and over again. Margot and Oliver swiped right on each other the first time they were matched and had a super awkward date, followed by a not so awkward makeup session. It has become a running joke with them that they keep matching on these apps, and they soon form a pretty great friendship.

Friends to lovers is usually just okay for me, but I just enjoyed it so much in this book! Oliver is adorable, and his banter with Margot is just fantastic. You could feel the chemistry between them so much that it was hard to believe their first date was so awkward and I was eager for Margot to give him a second chance. It’s a slow burn waiting for it to happen but so worth it when it finally does!

I also loved that this story was set in the world of publishing. If you know me, you know I love a bookish romance! In addition to this story being a friends to lovers romance, there’s also a whole personal journey that Margot goes through as she seeks to make the jump from a junior literary agent to a full fledged agent who has her own clients. I was equally invested in this journey & the romance plot and was cheering Margot on to make something happen for herself.

The audiobook was narrated by Katie Bloomwood, and I thought her performance was fantastic! Even when I needed to set the paper copy of this book down, I could not stop listening. Her voices for each character were so distinct that it took me a while to realize there was only one narrator.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

🔎 Review - THE PRINCESS AND THE P.I. 🔎

Author - Nikki Payne

Pub Date - 9/16/25

*physical copy purchased by me*

I love a good romantic suspense story, and Nikki Payne really delivers with her latest, The Princess and the P.I.!

Fiona is the daughter of a prominent church leader. She has lived a sheltered life, but unsatisfied with that living that way, Fiona has also cultivated a secret life as the online amateur sleuth, @Princess_PI. When her brother is murdered and the invention he had been working on is stolen, Fiona decides to use her sleuthing skills to avenge his death and get his invention back.

Things don’t go as planned and not only does Fiona end up arrested and accused of murder. Enter Maurice Bennett, the former cop turned PI. When he learns of Fiona’s predicament, he decides to intervene and bails her out of jail, then starts working with her to try to clear her name and find the real perpetrator.

It was so entertaining watching these two work together to solve this mystery! Maurice is a little broody and at first has no patience for Fiona and her online sleuthing persona, but the more they work together, the more he starts to see her how she really wants to be seen, as more than just a good girl. I thought their chemistry was fantastic and was immediately invested in them as a couple.

I won’t say much about the actual investigation aside from that it takes Maurice and Fiona on a wild ride and that it had plenty of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat.

I really enjoyed Payne’s writing, both in the way she wrote these two characters with so many layers, and in the way she skillfully weaves suspense, tension, humor, & spicy romance into this story.

I read this one with my eyes and ears and thoroughly enjoyed the narration of Arissa Evans & Jaime Lincoln Smith, who both did a fantastic job of bringing these characters to life & playing up the chemistry between them.

🧹 Review - UNCHARMED 🧹

Author - Lucy Jane Wood

Pub Date - 9/16/25

If you’re looking for a witchy read with all of the cozy vibes to add to your fall TBR, Uncharmed by Lucy Jane Wood is one you should definitely check out!

The story follows Annie, who is basically the Mary Poppins of witches. Annie runs a magical bakery, and as the book’s tagline states, she is “practically perfect, in every witch way.” At least that’s how her life appears on the surface anyway. In reality, Annie is a people pleaser who usually puts the happiness of others above her own. Those people pleasing ways are how Annie gets volunteered to mentor Maeve, a teen witch struggling to control her magic and with the rules of witchy society. Whether Annie realizes it or not, Maeve and the chaos that swirls around her is exactly the shakeup that Annie needs in her life.

Annie and Maeve end up staying at a little cabin while Annie goes to work trying to help Maeve with her magic, and this is where they meet Hal, the grumpy wizard who owns the cabin. While their encounter is initially awkward, the three of them soon bond and the found family vibes really shine through. I loved these characters and the way they interact with one another, and I especially enjoyed what ultimately becomes an emotional journey of growth for Annie as she finally starts to put herself and her happiness first for a change. There’s a hint of charming romance between Annie and Hal as well, but Annie’s journey is really at the heart of the story.

This was my first time reading this author and I enjoyed her writing, especially the character development, and the way she has balanced heart and humor here.

I did an immersive read with the paperback & audiobook and thought Evie Hargreaves’ narration was delightful. I thought her tone really added to the overall cozy atmosphere.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

❓QOTD - Annie customizes her magical baked goods to best help her customers. What kind of magic would you want in your baked good?

AOTD - Something that gives me more hours to read everyday. 😅

⚾️ Review - PITCHER PERFECT ⚾️

Author - Tessa Bailey

Pub Date - 9/9/25

Pitcher Perfect is the fourth book in Tessa Bailey’s Big Shots spicy sports romcom series. It’s an enemies-to-lovers, fake dating story that follows Robbie Corrigan, an NHL rookie with a reputation for being a ladies’ man, and Skyler Paige, a collegiate softball pitcher who has no interest in guys like Robbie. Sklyar’s brother recruits her to pitch in a “friendly” baseball competition against the Boston Bearcats hockey team, and it’s here that Skyler and Robbie first cross paths and boy do the sparks fly!

Robbie is instantly smitten, but Skyler, having overheard Robbie bragging about his sexual exploits, is not interested. She also has a crush on her brother’s best friend, Madden, and when Robbie hears this, to make amends for being a jerk at the ball park, he offers to help Skyler catch Madden’s attention by being her partner at her family’s annual Paige Stakes competition.

I had so much fun with this book! The chemistry between Robbie and Skyler is pure fire, and their banter is filled with sarcasm and snark that had me laughing out loud so many times! Robbie comes off as such a player at the beginning of the book, so I really loved getting to know him better as the story progressed and seeing that a lot that was an act and that he’s actually a sweet guy. I loved watching him put in the work to prove himself to Skyler and I also loved the dynamic between the two of them when Robbie gives Skyler lessons on how to flirt.

Skyler was a fantastic character too. I loved how independent & driven she is. I also appreciated we get to see her vulnerable side as she feels out of place in her family because she hasn’t had the success they have.

While the book is full of romcom goodness, my favorite part is the emotional connection that forms between Robbie & Skyler. They see each other like no one has before & that connection had me fully invested in them.

Tessa Bailey really outdid herself with Pitcher Perfect & it’s my new favorite in the series.

👻 SHELFIE SATURDAY - HALLOWEEN VIBES 👻

Hey book friends, I hope you’re having a good weekend. I needed to get out of my own head for a bit today and was struggling to read so I decided to go ahead and decorate my bookshelves for Fall/Halloween.

I’m a big scaredy cat so I like to go for fun and cute Halloween decorations. It’s hard to tell with the lighting but most of my ghosts are pale pink. I can’t decide if I’m finished or not. I’m thinking I need lights or maybe some pink bats.

I’ve been listening some of the audiobook of Nikki Payne’s The Princess and the P.I. while decorating and really enjoying it.
