Sinossi
The Wren in the Holly Library
Ladra capace e scaltra, Kierse non si fa scrupoli per sopravvivere in una New York in cui esseri umani e mostri convivono da tempo. Una notte, si intrufola in una grande dimora vittoriana per rubare un prezioso anello di diamanti. All’improvviso, qualcosa va storto e lei si trova intrappolata in una biblioteca con un mostro. Non può scappare. Non può nascondersi. E Graves, questo il nome del proprietario della dimora, ha tutto il diritto di ucciderla. Violando la proprietà, Kierse ha infatti infranto il fragile trattato di pace tra mostri e umani, che impedisce la reciproca distruzione. Ma invece di toglierle la vita, Graves fa l’inaspettato: le offre un lavoro. Una possibilità per scoprire chi è veramente. Kierse ha sempre saputo di essere diversa e, sebbene con qualche riserva, accetta la proposta. Inizia così un addestramento con Graves, che ben presto si accende di passione. Ma se le leggende sono vere, nel mondo ci sono cose più oscure dei mostri. E Kierse e Graves stanno per incontrarle…
Una biblioteca maledetta. Segreti letali. Un amore impossibile.
Magia, passione, mistero: un romanzo unico, già bestseller internazionale.

In a world full of monsters, a thief is doing her best to survive. She takes a job to steal a ring from a wealthy home, but it was much more than it seemed. She was caught by a monster who needed up offering her a job instead of something worse. He needed her particular set of skills to obtain somet Leggi tutto
Shades of ACOTAR and other romantasies, but the further you get into it, the more it feels like a stereotypical new adult romance than anything else. The mythology isn't all that compelling, and the romance just has all those conventional NA beats, characters, back stories, sex, and rote language. I Leggi tutto
DON'T FALL FOR THE PRETTY BOOKS. Red Tower can suck it. Can I count this as "read" if I skipped 100 pages in the middle because I was so ungodly bored that I just wanted to know how it ends and turns out this author just wants to be like ACOTAR and Throne of Glass? Spoilers below if you gaf but idgaf Leggi tutto

2.5 stars I need to stop falling for the Red Tower releases with pretty edges. 🥲
A new, addicting romantasy world that I couldn't help but fall in love with. K.A. Linde's writing shines in this fast-paced, action-packed story about a young woman discovering she may be more than just a human in a monster's world -- and that magic really does exist. I absolutely loved living in th Leggi tutto
I gotta say I really did love the start of this book and honest to god was a bit confused as to why people kept rating it 3 stars. But alas I understood, but I also have my own bone to pick with some elements of this book. DISCLAIMER: I was given an ARC so the copy I was reading was NOT a final copy Leggi tutto
I don’t usually go for Beauty and the Beast-inspired fantasy books, mainly because I find a lot of them lean too much into villain or dark romance for my tastes. But there’s something delightfully unique about this version, which mashes up some BATB story elements with Celtic mythology and a magical Leggi tutto
