#BookReview: House of War and Bone (Gilded City #2) by @leiastoneauthor

Fallon thought that living her entire life cursed to feel pain every time she was touched was the worst thing that could ever happen to her.She was wrong.The worst thing would be to find a handsome guy who could touch her, and then accidentally trap him in the Realm of Eternity. Not only does Fallon lose Ariyon, but she swaps powers with him. Now Fallon is the rare Maven healer to Queen Solana, and Ariyon is fighting for his life against a bunch of undead, with her dark powers. And all the while, the prophesied Nightling war approaches.Fallon must learn how to harness her new magic in order to bring Ariyon home and switch their powers back…. before Ariyon tuns into a Nightling. Because if that happens, he’s surely never going to want to kiss her again, and she’d really like to feel his lips on hers at least a million more times.

Lost and Stolen Gods
Debbie Cassidy
(Labyrinth of Gods, #1)
Publication date: April 4th 2025
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance

Gods aren’t born, they’re made.

I should have died the same night that a monster murdered my grandmother, but I was saved, stolen from my world, and thrown into a realm ravaged by an endless war between ancient gods called Asura.

I’m told that I’m a demigod, that there are others like me, brought to this world to replenish their dwindling numbers. They want us to prove we’re worthy of ascension and fight alongside them.

But I don’t give a damn about their war. All I want is vengeance on the monster that killed my only family. A monster from their world. And if the only way to kill it is to become a god, then I’m all in.

But the path of ascension is paved with dangerous tests, culminating in a lethal trial called the labyrinth of gods.

Only an ancient fire elemental has the power to help me survive it.

His wicked mouth sets my pulse racing, and his dark threats turn my blood to ice. Charismatic and terrifying, he attracts and repels me in equal measure, and I have no doubt he’d snap my neck in a heartbeat if freed from the magical bonds that compel him to aid me.

He hopes to be my undoing, and if I’m not careful I may not make it to the labyrinth alive.

To claim the vengeance that I desire I’ll need to protect my body and shield my mind, but most of all I’ll need to guard my heart.

Enter an Otherworldly realm filled with gods, monsters, and mystical beings. Opposites attract and love and conflict collide, in this forced proximity romance.
