If you’re a regular around Happy Indulgence, you’ll know that I haven’t been the biggest fan of A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Here’s my famous review about why I didn’t really enjoy A Court of Mist and Fury. But I’d be damned if I didn’t pick up a new Sarah J Maas book, so […]
I’m so so glad there’s a book like Felix Ever After that covers intersectional identities in such a layered way! It’s important to have stories with queer POC that are not only celebrated, but to also represent teens and people out there. This has turned out to be one of my favourites of the year, and […]
Happy new year everyone! I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in seeing the back of 2020..let’s just hope that 2021 will be better. I thought I would do a short round-up of some of my unexpected favourite reads in 2020. This might be surprising, but I don’t actually review every single book I read, so […]
Legendborn was legit one of the BEST books I’ve read all year!!! It’s a pretty wild mash up, you’ve got Mortal Instruments meets King Arthur, Black girl magic, trauma and grief set in college….

I’m so glad I finally read this one after hearing mixed reviews initially! It does flip everything that we know on its head, as it mainly follows Grey, the Guard Captain and Lia Mara, an older princess from Syhl Shallow. While I was a bit disappointed that we weren’t going to see much of Harper […]
Fake It Till You Break It This was the cutest romcom about fake dating ever! How do you get a teenager to do NOT something you want? Suggest they should do it of course. Seeing Mia and Jake agree to date one another to get their moms off their backs was so cute, and I […]
I absolutely loved the hate to love romance in Serpent & Dove last year, especially the memorable characters and the witchy atmosphere within it. Blood & Honey was one of my most anticipated reads this year, how does it stack up as a sequel? Before diving into Blood & Honey, I read the official recap for the first […]
