From Frostbite To First Kill: Navigating Love And Death In Slay Ride By Lauren Biel

Posted on 16th Jul 202518th Nov 2025 by Letty Reads

Slay Ride by Lauren Biel is book 2 in the Slaycation series, which is a dark rom-com series. Book 1, Sinners Retreat, focused on Kindra and Ezra, at the tropical retreat for serial killers. You can find my review for that here. Book 2, Slay Ride, focused on Cat and Bennett, and it is at the winter retreat.

Bennett is Ezra’s brother, and Cat is Kindra’s best friend. Cat does not yet have her first kill under her belt, and Bennett and Cat hate each other, so Bennett decides that he wants to kill block Cat at every turn. In doing so, they both end up stranded in the Alaska wilderness, in Winter. They manage to make it to the Cabin before Cat dies of frostbite. Here is where their relationship changes, and they, of course, are stuck together in a cabin. What is going to happen? The horizontal tango!

Exploring the Mind of Harleigh Beck: Horror, Romance, and Inspiration

Posted on 15th Jul 202515th Aug 2025 by Letty Reads

After my interview with Kinsley Kincaid, which you can read here. I knew I wanted to do more of them, and the first person to come to mind for another interview was Harleigh Beck. I am a huge fan of her work, and she is super sweet. My friends, after reading my interview with Kinsley, also said I should do more, and so I asked who they thought I should ask, and they also said Harleigh, I knew it had to be. I was anxious as hell sliding into Harleigh’s DMs to ask her which is daft because every time we have spoken, she is so kind and sweet, but hey, anxiety isn’t logical!

Hidden Gems at The Old Pier Bookshop

Once a month, if possible me and my 2 aunties try to go on a little road trip to visit bookshops around the UK. We go off what we see online that looks good, so far we haven’t traveled too far.

June Book Summary: Health Struggles & Reading Highlights

Posted on 1st Jul 20251st Jul 2025 by Letty Reads

I can’t believe another month has come to an end. The 6th month too! How has half a year gone by already? Crazy.

This is what I have read in June. I haven’t managed to do individual reviews on here for many of them, but they are all on my TikTok. I have not had the best month health-wise. I have been very drained, dealing with insomnia as well as mini strokes. I will try to get to them, though 🙃

Sinners Retreat Review: A Hilarious Serial Killer Romance

Posted on 21st Jun 202518th Nov 2025 by Letty Reads

Sinners Retreat by Lauren Biel

I have read a few of Lauren Biel’s books; the first one I ever read was Captured, which is very dark! I still can’t look at mayo the same. Today, I have finished the first book in Lauren’s Slaycation series, Sinners Retreat.
Is it dark?
Well, they are serial killers; they are at a resort for a serial killer annual event where they get to play bowling using people’s heads, but other than that aspect, no, it’s not dark. It had me laughing out loud many times. It is a dark rom-com, and spoiler alert, I loved it!
