Reid's just trying his best. Poor boi.
The reason why men shouldn't be in charge: they don't listen and they stupid.
No proof until there's a body.

Gods and Monsters by Shelby Mahurin
Reid being grumpy is all I need in life. I love him. I just. gah.
I'm sorry.

This book has the audacity to make me cry at 8 in the morning.

Reid. I LOVE THIS TROPE. Gaaaaaaaah.
Pants. We do love pants.
I. am. snickering.
I'm just gonna..snort at these chapter titles.


The last two chapters are just... I can't. I need more content. and I bet there's no fanfiction because the book is new. ugh.
I am overwhelmed. I love these characters and I'm just.... Reid. Reid. Reid. I can't. Don't talk to me. I'm dying alone.

Serpent & Dove by Shelby Manhurin
Summary: "Bound as one to love, honor, or burn.
Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned.
Sworn to the Church as a Chasseur, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. His path was never meant to cross with Lou's, but a wicked stunt forces them into an impossible union—holy matrimony.
And love makes fools of us all."
I FINALLY FINISHED A BOOK! YAY, ME!
This story checks almost all of my boxes - brave yet foul-mouthed heroine, golden boy hero, literal enemies-to-lovers, marriage of convenience, found family. It was so, so, so delicious.

Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin
So we're just gonna ignore are all the incorrect Catholic things going on there...
Tbh I came for the marriage of convenience trope and all of the other fanfic tropes.... I am the trash queen.
Reid is great. I love him. He is such a sweetie. Someone please protect him. He is a gentleman. He brings honor to us all. #husbandgoals
Ansel is a puppy and is too pure for this world.
....Also Reid's favorite book....Anyone else worried about the sequel....
No one: .....
