Nocticadia is amazing, need more of it!!

[courtneydennis]

Anything by Keri Lake is so good. They way she writes spooky/gothic atmospheres is just chefs kiss

[lizo]

I picked up flames on chaos years ago after you mentioned it first on your channel and its one of my all time favourite series. The story gets better and I sobbed so hard during one particular scene (even during my re read) definitely power through them. It's amazing

[AmandasBooktopia]

House of Bane and Blood is a new favorite of the year for me. Definitely gave it 5 stars. It was amazing. I have Embers in the Snow on my wish list and definitely interested in it.

[pardonthisbookaddict]

Nocticadia was good, but the worms! I’m glad you enjoyed Graves!

[gemz]

I had such a slump in August but now I am reading mistborn and loving it ❤

[loverose]

Good morning and thanks for sharing ☺️

[sanamhussain]

I really love watching your videos. One of my favourite booktubers

[PamelaTony-lp]

I highly recommend you should read LOD before reading this series. This crossover is done so well. I’m so happy you loved these books, I’m obsessed. And I liked Nocticadia slightly more than Gothikana (which reigned supreme for me in this category).

[MiasEnvelopes]

I loved Nocticadia ❤❤❤ working on Nightshade to kick of spooky season pumpkin

[BecxReadz]

I've had Nocticadia on my tbr list ever since reading Nightshade and loving it.

[Sordenes]

I’m currently listening to the second book in the Lady of Darkness series and am absolutely HOOKED!

[liezllovesbooks]

I tapped out when they were talking about the pineapple scene in flames of chaos

[hannahblackwellbooks]

I want to try Nocticadia, I’m currently reading n really enjoying Nightshade n loving it so far

[Britt_V]

Nocticadea is for sure on my TBR this month right along with phantasma by Kayla Smith and immortal darling by tigest girma

[natn.]

Based off of your recommendation I read Rain of Shadows and Endings and LOVED IT! I’m starting the second book now!

[joleefarr]

Jess you have to read The Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas I’m dying to know what you think

[francispablo]

Rain of shadows and Endings for me was the worst book I ever read because I feel the Woman where abused in every way possible by the man, and the second book it’s the same thing😢 I do not recommend this series to anyone. I Love Fourth Wing series, Cruel Prince and many others but this series no
