Publication Date: December 2, 2025
This book is the romantasy genre at its best: the perfect combination of delicious romance and the building of a fantasy world & imminent conflict to keep you invested. Something Wicked told the love story between Cate and Callie all while weaving in a compelling plot about uprisings and a world in political turmoil.
I would have kept reading for either individual plot, but they both worked so well. Falon, as always, nails the spice element of this story. Cate’s background as a courtesan and Callum’s background as a prince come up from start to finish, and these histories are certainly a huge part of what makes each character who they are.
I don’t get to read a lot of romantasy or fantasy as a whole, so reading Something Wicked was a real treat. I’m deeply invested in both plot lines and am DYING for the next book. I need more of this world ASAP and am so happy I got to read and enjoy this book so much.
Thank you to PENGUIN GROUP Putnam and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

ARC Review: Enter the Villa by Anna Peele
Publication Date: May 19, 2026 As a longtime Love Island fan, Enter the Villa was fascinating. Hearing from production about the stereotypes of various characters on the show, how the show morphed over time, and how the show became the mega popular force it is today was incredibly interesting. It truly was a look behind…
