End of Thezmarr Era
Silver & Smoke
Helen Scheuerer
Book #3 in the Ashes of Thezmarr series, and last book in the overall Thezmarr journey is an amazing conclusion for us fans of the first series needed. Both series are for those who love the topics of prophecy, hidden history, with the best family trope delivery I have ever experienced.

Dawn of Chaos and Fury

Who wrote this?
Silver Elite
Dani Francis
The book that broke the internet in 2025 but not because it was that good, but because no one believed it was written by a real person. Dystopian or not, Silver Elite is a a story that you either love or hate, but you will definitely turn pages like possessed.
Contemporary Fiction
Back to fictional reality, where places are real, feelings are familliar, but people are made up.
Tortured Writers Department
Yellowface
R.F. Kuang
Is ti ok to steal someone else's work if that person is not there to judge you? Can you live with the guilt if there is fame around it involved? This book still lives in my head and will probably not go away quite some time.
Finding silver lining
Keeping 13
Chloe Walsh
Book #2 in the Boys of Tommen series and end of Shannon and Johnny's story is about cruel world, choices, difficult decisions, following hard-earned dreams, and kindness in the most unjust and terrible world. It’s about FRIENDSHIP and FOUND FAMILY. Finding silver linings in a sky full of trauma and pain.
Stolen Glances and Second chances
Rewind it Back
Liz Tomforde
The last book of the Windy City series that's also a standalone like all others is the one that just warms one's heart. Perfect ending of the series with redemption arc, good music, and the true reward of second chances.
