Wishfully Green and Lustre

Happy Tuesday, fellow readers! It's finally getting warmer! And to celebrate I have a two for Tuesday for you. I have two fabulous novellas for even the busiest among us. Let's go!

The first novella is to get us in the spirit for St. Patrick's Day. It's a paranormal romance called "Wishfully Green" by Lore Nicole.

Before we begin, here are the trigger warnings.

Trigger Warnings:

Brief sexual encounters

Death

Pregnancy

"Wishfully Green" somehow manages to be light and deep at the same time. It's light in that it's centered around St. Patrick's Day and wishes, involves a leprechaun, and it's short. It's deep in that some elements are emotionally charged or heavy. It flows well and overall, it's a great read.

The main characters Charlotte and Fabien are both sweet and loveable making it easy to root for them. I also enjoyed the vast differences in all of the wishes. Despite being so short, it managed to elicit many feelings.

Here is my official review.

"Wishfully Green" is a cute St. Patrick's Day happily ever after. Despite being such a short novella it brings the feelings and is very satisfying. It's a great little read for the holiday.

Now, on two our second book. It's a romantic urban fantasy called "Lustre" by Vivienne Hart.

Let's start with the trigger warnings.

Trigger Warnings:

Gambling

Alcohol use

Mentions of prostitution and other crimes

Talk about world building! Vivienne has created a whole universe with some very intriguing planets including Iniquity. Iniquity is dark, chaotic, and depraved. Imagine a world without real laws or consequences, add in a surface layer and then 6 sub layers each one worst than the last, and you have Iniquity. It's fascinating. I need a full book on each planet!

And the characters are just as fascinating and varied as the world building. Lustre is hard working, loyal, and motivated in a world that is absolutely the opposite. The secrets are piled high and the twists and turns are crazy! I'm rarely surprised by a twist in a book, but this one totally got me.

Here is my official review.

What a twist!

The world building in Lustre is so fascinating that I could spend days learning about it all. Iniquity is so complex and depraved that exploring it alone would be fascinating not to mention the other planets. The characters are so unique and well written. And that twist! I enjoyed every second.
