Okay so… I get why Silver Elite divides people, bu Okay so… I get why Silver Elite divides people, but I actually had such a good time with this book 👀

The world building was solid, the academy setting grabbed me instantly, and the cast had enough drama and personality to keep me fully invested. My only gripe? The FMC made some choices that honestly had me tilting my head like a confused dog. The romance could have really hit, but it rushed a moment that deserved slow-burn payoff.

Still, I inhaled it and I am 100 percent reading the sequel the minute it drops.

As well as receiving this gorgeous special edition with sprayed edges, I received two artworks, an exclusive enamel pin, exclusive stickers and a pumpkin spice espresso martini to gulp down alongside.

TBR Tuesday 📚 Seem to finally be out of my slump TBR Tuesday 📚

Seem to finally be out of my slump having read On Wings of Blood in under 24 hours! 

May still an overachiever with this list but we shall see 😂 what’s on everyone else’s November TBRs? ✨

This one had me hooked on the world, but not quite This one had me hooked on the world, but not quite on the characters… 👀

On Wings of Blood by Briar Boleyn was such a strong start in terms of setting and lore — think Zodiac Academy meets Fourth Wing, with a gothic academy that completely scratched that fantasy itch I’ve been having lately. I loved the friendships, the world building, and the dark romantasy vibes, but the FMC just felt a bit too young for me, to the point where I was almost rolling my eyes. Plus, that enemies-to-lovers tension? Let’s just say I wanted more bite.

Still, I can’t lie, the world has me intrigued enough to keep going with book two, and I’m hoping for a darker, angstier sequel.

Unfortunate isn’t the only word to describe it - u Unfortunate isn’t the only word to describe it - unexpected, unwanted, and undesirable to say the least. 💀

One method I’m using to get myself out of it is re-reading some of my god-tier books and fall back in love with always having a book on the go! 

What do you do when you find yourself in a slump? Feel free to give me more tips ✨
The year’s winding down, the nights are darker, an The year’s winding down, the nights are darker, and honestly? I’m still not ready to let go of the Halloween vibes yet. 🦇

This month, the Baddie Book Club is sinking its teeth into On Wings of Blood by Briar Boleyn. A gothic romantasy filled with dark secrets, forbidden power, and a dangerously addictive enemies-to-lovers storyline.

It’s moody, romantic, and just the right amount of unhinged… perfect for long nights, candlelight, and a glass of something red. 🍷

I’m pairing it with:
– a black cherry martini (or pomegranate tonic if I’m trying to behave)
– “You Should See Me in a Crown” by Billie Eilish
– a moody nook at the Fitzroy Tavern for the full gothic fantasy effect.

We’re reading, feeling, and spiralling together all month long! Join the chat in the Discord and tag your reading moments with #ReadLikeABaddie so we can all obsess, annotate, and overanalyse in style.

Because the year might be ending, but our dark romantasy era definitely isn’t. 🖤
