TTT: Best Books I Read In 2018



Best Books I Read In 2018

OMG! There were so many! However, even though I can't put them in any particular order, I have managed to select a top ten, so here they are!

Magic Triumphs

I haven't actually written a review for this because I couldn't! So many thoughts and feelings... However, I LOVED it. I absolutely loved it.
Maybe when I re-read it, I'll finally be able to review it?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Iron and Magic


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

10 Reasons to Stay

This book messed with the emotions something fierce! It pushed me out my comfort zone and was so deliciously addictive that I binge read the entire thing in one sitting. I didn't expect to love it but I did and I know that it'll be one that stays with me for some time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From Lukov With Love

 If you've followed this blog for a while, you'll know I'm a huge Mariana Zapata fan and From Lukov With Love is not just one of my absolute favourites of 2018, it is my absolute favourite Zapata to date! A must-read for fans of the slow-burn romance!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Twice Bitten - Chloe Neill

It's book three in the Chicagoland Vampires and is older than 2018 but I just read it in 2018 so it's going on the list. I read up to book six of this series last year and Twice Bitten was the one that knocked my socks off. I loved it!
One of my goals is to finish this series this year.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blood Type by KA Linde

This trilogy made for an epic read and Blood Type was the book that started it off!
A brutally addictive paranormal romance / dystopian hybrid. It knocked my socks off but if you begin book one you better have the other two ready to go because the cliffhangers in book one and two are nothing short of EVIL!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Your Sound by Katia Rose

I read this only a week or so ago so it's a late addition to the list but I LOVED it!
If you like a good rockstar romance than you've gotta read this... In fact, read the series.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fall by Kristen Callihan

Jax Blackwood stole my heart.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pestilence by Laura Thalassa

Another book I really really liked but haven't reviewed... Must do better at the reviewing this year! But anyway, Pestilence was another book I read in one sitting. It was kinda grim but oddly addictive and I really want to read the books of the other horsemen!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

My first UF with a male lead! I loved the premise, the story, and the writing. There were only a couple of minor niggles that stopped this being a 5 star read for me. I can't wait to see what happens next!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

  5. I love how you said you didn't write a review for one because you couldn't. I feel the same way sometimes! It's like, I have so many feelings and feel so strongly that I can't possibly do it all justice. I still need to try something from Zapata. And start that Kristen Callihan series!

  10. I've only read Blood Type from this list, and unfortunately I didn't enjoy it. I really want to try Mariana Zapata, Kristen Callihan, and Pestilence.

  25. This is the first time I'm hearing about pretty much all of these but I'm fairly certain you just gave me a ton of new books to look into and add to my TBR. Thanks for sharing!

  26. Oooh these are all new to me! But so glad that you found so many wonderful books in 2019! Having books that are so good you can't even come up with the words is pretty much the BEST. Hope you find even more gems in 2019!

  27. Ah I got approved for Storm of Gods in the middle of the night and they archived it like 2 hours after approving me, in the middle of the night. I'm still salty about that. I really need to get on Ilona Andrews. So many people love her books.
