“WWW” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Taking On A World of Words.
Hi everybody, and welcome to a new WWW Wednesday! For this post, we’ll be answering three questions (the 3 Ws):
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What are you currently reading?
- What do you think you’ll read next?



I just finished reading Lights Out by Navessa Allen as ebook.
I’m not sure if I will ever be a full-on dark romance girl, but when I surprisingly loved Butcher & Blackbird last year I thought I’d need to give more dark romance a try. Enter Lights Out. I LOVED Lights Out!
Now, to be fair, I think this (like B&B) is still pretty beginner dark romance. Which is probably why I liked it so much. Yes, it is technically a stalker romance and our main characters both have dark backgrounds and kinky preferences. But our stalker is pretty much a golden retriever cinnamon roll. And our leading lady is very much into the stalking. The romance and banter are absolutely adorable. I finished this in a matter of 2-3 days and I loved every minute of it. It was the perfect mix for me of steamy yet adorable and twisted yet funny with two characters I rooted for from beginning to end.

I just finished reading Children of Fallen Gods (The War of Lost Hearts #2) by Carissa Broadbent as audiobook.
I LOVED book one in this series and so I had to dive into book two as soon as possible after finishing that one. And though I have to admit I thought the first half of this book dragged a bit, the second half was again amazing and hard to put down. I still love Tisaanah and Max with all my heart, but the new POV of Aefe is what really drew on my heartstrings this time. Can’t wait (and a bit scared) to dive into the next and final book ASAP!

I also just finished reading Truly, Madly, Deeply by Alexandria Bellefleur as ebook.
This has been on my Kindle for months and I hadn’t been in the mood to pick up. But the past weekend I thought I’d give it a try so I could work on my backlist… and the next day I had finished the book! So yes, I definitely liked this and wish I had started it sooner.
While the main character Truly did come off a bit childish at times and I wasn’t on board with her idea to parent trap her parents, I adored the banter and the buildup of the relationship between her and Colin was amazing. Also loved the bi rep and the fact that there was no third act breakup.


I am currently reading Onyx Storm (The Empyrean #3) by Rebecca Yarros as audiobook.
Even though I did not get to a re-read of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame in time, I just couldn’t wait to dive into this next installment! I barely even started yet though, so no thoughts yet.

As usual, I’m a huge mood reader so who knows what I’ll be reading next? Until the moment I pick up a book, not even me knows. But here are a few possibilities I’m thinking of:





Tell Me:
What are you currently reading?
Have you read any of these books already?

I’m not a dark romance kinda girl either but I’m open to giving Lights Out a try. It sounds interesting.
I think Lights Out is definitely a dark romance ‘light’ kind of book so it might still be something you’d like (but it does still features a lot of spice and some heavy themes, so definitely do beware of that)
Loved your thoughts on the books you finished! It seems like you had a great reading week.
Also, I cannot recommend Lore Olympus enough!! It’s the BEST Persephone and Hades retelling, prepare to be obsessed!
Lore Olympus is indeed amazing! I’ve read a fair amount of the online webtoon, but I can’t wait to dive into the actual physical volumes!
Okay, all the books you finished reading are on my TBR! I can’t wait!! I have read 3/4 on your upcoming and they were amazing. I really need to start The War of Lost Hearts by Broadbent!
Yay, I’m glad to hear you loved 3/4 of my upcoming possible reads!
I need Onyx Storm! Even though I’m still rereading Iron Flame. I just need it in my hands.
A re-read was a very good idea as I’ve been very confused for the first few chapters of Iron Flame and didn’t remember so many of the names and places… so your patience in rereading first will definitely be rewarded I think 😀
I bet a lot of people are currently reading Onyx Storm!
Yes indeed, I just hope I get to stay spoiler free 🙂
I might skip the reread of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame too Lindsey LOL
I was quite confused for the first few chapters as I didn’t remember so many names and places so I was a bit sorry I didn’t do a re-read at first… but now I’m good 😀
The last read was in 2024, first book of the Bloodwing Academy, and I’m quite excited to get back into it with the sequel.
My current read is The Starlight Heir, and my next ones would ve either Onyx Storm, The Bond That Burnd (Bloodwing Academy #2) or something else I have to look into first.
Might join in on a WWW next time!
Oh The Starlight Heir is on my TBR, I hope you’re enjoying it!
Lights Out sounds good and I keep seeing Onyx Storm all over. Happy reading! I’m reading the next in the ACOTAR series.
Oh the ACOTAR series is one of my favorites!
So many great books. I am currently reading Scythe.
Oh, Scythe has been on my TBR for ages, I hope you’re loving it.
