@vivavaleria@eldritch.cafe on the mammooth site. Reading mostly wlw rom-coms, with the occasional exceptions. I try to rotate languages, but it isn't really easy to find queer romance books in other languages than English. Reviews and comments usually in the same language as the book.

All of this is some multi-layerey power play (which I like) with kissing girls (which I also like). But then again, most of it is about spirituality, prophesies, and birthright (which I don't like).

Margot Cooper doesn't do relationships. She tried and it blew up in her face, so …
There were a handful of entertaining moments, but mostly it's just the old, overrated and overused trope where both girls think "too bad she just want's casual" instead of just talking to each other. Apart from all the petit-bourgeois stuff about weddings. Oh and apparently it's the third part of a trilogy, but the summary and backcover don't indicate that. What the fuck.
Just remembered this banger scene, where the characters fly from the US to Turkey on a private plane, but take an immediate stop in France for ... CUSTOMS!?!?
Sure, French customs totally cares about what you carry between two totally unrelated countries. Ms Bayron, have you ever been outside the US?

Content warning cringy horny in public
[cake tasting for their friends' wedding] [Margot watches Olivia eat] A breathy groan filled the air, more desperate than satisfied. Four curious sets of eyes locked on her. Motherfucker, she had made that noise, all pleading and pornographic and - ugh. [..]. "Mar? [..]. You feeling alright?" "Mm, yep. [..]. I'm fine." "Are you sure?" Annie frowned. "You're looking kind of flushed." Christ on a cracker, couldn't a girl be horny in peace? "It is a little warm in here," Darcy said, earning herself top billing on Margot's list of favourite people. "I think they've got the heat set a touch too high." Darcy's eyes darted from Margot to Olivia, a dimple forming at the corner of her mouth when she smirked. That was, without a doubt, a look to file away for closer inspection later. "So, [..]. what do you think, or do you not care?" "I care," Margot blurted, "I totally care." "Okay ... so, thoughts?" Margot winced. Shit. "Um, what was the question?"

[Margot accidentally runs into her roomate, whom she is horny for but cannot confess it, and who's just leaving the shower wrapped in a towel] [vibrator falls out of Margot's hands, roommate sees it] [AWKWARD] [Cat appears and...] Margot followed Olivia's gaze just in time to witness Cat crouch low, her butt wiggling from side to side, once, twice, before she propelled herself through the air, pouncing on Margot's vibrator. A low buzz filled the hall as the bullet whirred to life. Cat froze, curled up in her ball, pointy-teeth pressed against the silicone. [..]. [Olivia]: "I guess it's safe to say that's ... pussy approved."

Die Geschichte dreht sich vollständig um ein rassistisches Graffiti, und wie verschiedene davon betroffene oder nicht betroffene Menschen damit umgehen. Wie unterschiedlich die einzelnen Auswirkungen auf den Alltag sind. Und schließlich wiedergefundener Schwesternliebe.

What a joy to read! Wren's job is fighting ghosts, but after some useless goldsmith prince is kidnapped she goes further and commands literal zombies, while driving some ironsmith knight to madness. Spooky warrior-girl romcom galore.

It's obvious Philline Harms poured so much love into this book. All those little situations that do nothing for the plot but are nice to read. Of course I also enjoyed one of the main characters carrying my name.
However, it's kind of a slow burner (pun intended). All of the plot happens on the last 150 pages, after 200 pages of meet-cute.

Valerie: burns down her girlfriends greenhouse, then almost burns the entire town, almost killing everybody Quinn: “Fuck you, Valerie”, they said into Valerie's shoulder. “Great art project you made there. Ten out of ten.”
