Written By Meg Hopkins

You’ll notice on every review there are meters included! Here’s what they mean.

Spicy Meter:

1 = Some closed door action, nothing explicit
2 = One or two explicit scenes fade to black style
3 = There are one or two explicit scenes that DON’T fade to black
4 = Anatomy is described. Plot is still at the forefront, but dang you’re blushing.
5 = Do these people ever put their clothes on?

Feelings Scale:

1 = I felt barely anything at all.
2 = There were some ups and downs in my emotions, but nothing major.
3 = There were a few points in the book where I FELT MAJOR EMOTION.
4 = Multiple times I clapped my hands over my mouth and cried/giggled/chuckled/squealed.
5 = I literally could not STOP FEELING THE EMOTIONS throughout this entire book.

Epic Meter:

1 = Set in the world we live in.
2 = Set in the world we live in but with a couple fantastical elements.
3 = Set in the world we live in and another, magical world.
4 = Set in a different, fantasy world that isn’t super complex in structure.
5 = Set in an epic fantasy world with complex political structures, realms, etc.

Cozy Meter:

1 = No coziness here. Nosiree.
2 = There were one or two cozy moments, I suppose.
3 = It had more than two cozy moments but I wouldn’t describe it as a cozy book.
4 = This embodies coziness.

Ew Meter:

1 = No horror or gore or anything some people might think is gross.
2 = A few scenes with gory descriptions, but nothing major.
3 = There are 2-3 scenes that may make you go blehhhh.
4 = Be prepared for gore, blood, body horror, and more.

Re-Readability:

1 = I will not read this again.
2 = I mayyyyy read this again, but only if I get very very bored.
3 = I have no strong feelings about this book but I’m not saying I’d NEVER read it again.
4 = Would definitely consider reading this book again.
5 = It’s already back on my TBR.
