1. The Bone King and the Starling

by Elizabeth Stephens (247 pp)

I bought the Fated Mated holiday gift box (I can't find the actual link) but it was 9 or 10 books for $125 or something like that. I have a problem and I can't stop buying books. Seriously, it's really bad. But I am helping the economy!

This book is something else. It's a viking romance and it is very, very spicy. There is a spicy scene in the beginning that must be 30 pages. After reading this book my newly formed Bookclub titled our group chat: No Orifice Left Behind. It is also very brutal and violent. Take the content warnings seriously.

I still enjoyed it (?) I did. I liked the way the Bone King took care of our poor little Starling who was really trod upon when he stormed her village. And I liked the way she stood up for herself.
