Early start to INKTOBER.

Reylo inspired Halloween costumes to spice up the season. This was highly requested by by some close friends of mine so here it is…

Kiara and Jack.

And some fierce red lighting.

(I’m not a Star Wars fan at all tbh… I just looked up something on Google as reference and made magic with my hands. I think you’ll recognize the original from somewhere...)

Summary:

As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships--but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor--and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding... six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

Plot Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Character Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Romance Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ /5 Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Would I Recommend? YES, especially to Reylo fans.

What I Liked:

Well-paced plot with many chapter cliff hangers that turned this novel into a page-turner.

Many toe-curling romantic moments that would make anyone who enjoys the fake-dating trope squeal with giddiness.

Smut that lasted chapters 💀

What I Didn't Like:

The writing made this novel feel more like fanfiction, understandably so since it began as a fanfiction. However I had hoped since it was being written into a novel it would feel more mature than fanfiction.

The characters felt very solid to me but only because of who they were heavily based on. Throughout the story there are many subtle references to who Olive and Adam are inspired by, to the point they don't necessarily feel like their own characters but shelled out versions of Rey and Ben Solo. As much as I love the Star Wars couple, the characters have little originality.

Although being written in third person it heavily leans on Olive's perspective. We don't have any insight on Adam's thoughts or feelings until they're expressed.

My Thoughts:

I'll have to apologize in advance because I am reviewing from a very biased perspective. I enthusiastically bought this book after hearing rumors of it once being a Reylo fanfiction. I love the paring Ben Solo and Rey from the Star Wars Trilogy and couldn't pass on a published book inspired by their characters and romance.

Throughout the book I was constantly reminded of who Olive and Adam were based on; Adam's powerful yet distanced family and Olive's lack of family, Adam's brooding personality and Olive's optimistic attitude, even Adam's favorite color being black and Olive's favorite color being white. The more I learned about the characters the more they stood out as carbon copies of Rey and Ben Solo.

This contemporary romance is the author's first published work and it shows. A few of her writing decisions feels very amateur. For example, describing the character's anxiety with a full paragraph of italicized thought that continually circled around the same concern. After a while I skipped over these paragraphs knowing they didn't offer anything useful for the situation or plot. They were just there to illustrate how nervous the character was by making their thoughts run rampant. Skipping them didn't make me lose any precious details that furthered the story.

However she brilliantly pulled off interesting plot twists that I couldn't see coming. Even when I had a feeling something wasn't right and would probably turn for the worse, I couldn't predict what would happen. I really enjoyed the direction of the story until the last page.

It was also very refreshing to read about a woman in STEM. Science and math is not my strong suit so I couldn't relate to her responsibilities but it was still really nice to see a woman so intelligent and independent.

Olive is a fun relatable character. She strives for deals, coupons and any free food to aid a poor graduate student. She looks forward to the little things that would brighten the dull monotonous day of labs like buying her favorite bag of chips from the vending machine. She is focused on her goals and has learned how to make herself happy despite her many limitations and heavy work loads.

Adam is an interesting character in the sense that he's socially awkward and frustratingly technically correct with his opinions and convictions. His strict standards for his students make him appear heartless and the way he enforces these standards makes him seem like a jerk but after understanding how he thinks he's a lot more sympathetic. His field demands the most motivated and the very best which forces him to weed out the ones who won't last a year after graduation. Knowing this helps me like him more than the typical "bad boy with a soft spot" vibe and makes it easier for me root for his happiness.

Overall, my love for the original pairing that inspired Olive and Adam is what drove my fascination for this book. If I weren't a Reylo fan I probably wouldn't have liked it as much since there were many cheesy cliques scattered throughout that made the fanfiction writer inside me cringe. However, because I strongly believe that Rey and Ben Solo deserved a happy ending I was able to push aside the cringe and enjoy this au version of their happily ever after.

Dark writing prompts

Some dark writing prompts for the cold winter days :) Number five is my favorite. I wrote a short story about it once. Which one is your favorite?

In a world where emotions are harvested as a powerful energy source, a secret society emerges, exploiting the pain and suffering of individuals to fuel their dark ambitions.

A mysterious antique mirror appears in an old, abandoned house. Anyone who gazes into it experiences glimpses of their worst fears coming to life. What happens when the mirror falls into the wrong hands?

In a dystopian future, a government experiment to control crime goes horribly wrong. Citizens start experiencing their darkest impulses as physical manifestations, leading to chaos and destruction.

A cursed town is shrouded in perpetual darkness, and every year, a single resident must willingly sacrifice themselves to lift the curse for a brief moment. This year, the chosen one has a secret that could change everything.

A talented artist discovers that their paintings have the power to alter reality. However, with each stroke of the brush, a piece of their soul is consumed, leaving them on the brink of madness.

A small community is plagued by a series of unexplainable events, each linked to a children's nursery rhyme. As the rhyme predicts the next tragedy, the townsfolk desperately try to break the curse before it claims them all.

A scientist creates a device that allows people to relive their happiest memories. However, as they delve deeper into the technology, they uncover a hidden layer of forgotten, traumatic experiences that could shatter lives.

In a post-apocalyptic world, survivors discover an underground bunker containing a mysterious machine that claims to offer a chance at resurrection. However, the price to bring someone back is the sacrifice of another life.

A cursed book is said to grant its reader unimaginable knowledge, but at the cost of their sanity. As a desperate scholar seeks its pages, they must confront the malevolent entity within that hungers for their mind.

A detective investigates a series of gruesome murders that seem to be connected by a chilling pattern. As they get closer to the truth, they realize the killer might be something otherworldly, feeding on the fear they instill in their victims.

To Search the Ends of Time

A Vampire Reylo AU by @everren & @ev3rmichelle

Rated E | Alternating POV | Ch 5/14

The history books remember the papacy of Snoke - the so-called Occult Pope - as a reign of terror. Kylo Ren is only interested in what came before.

For four hundred years, he has stalked the world, searching for the ancient alchemy once wielded by Snoke to defy death and bind him to the earth in an eternity of bloodshed. With it, he will take back what was stolen from him.

But when a new lead takes him to the most unexpected of places, he is forced to confront the possibility that not all is as it seems.

Perhaps the past is not as cold and dead as he thought. Perhaps no one is ever really gone.

A Dracula-inspired Reylo AU, set in an alternate version of our world, in which love can span centuries and blood can conquer death.

POV GUIDE

'Still Falls the Night' - Kylo - Odd chapters

'Still Falls the Rain' - Rey - Even chapters

hello you wrote a fanfic where Tims teacher was failing him on purpose to send him into a spiral of self doubt where in a moment of 'i can fix this' (This being his grade) he followed his teacher into his car and nearly got killed, and I find myself LOVING the mystery behind the teacher and like how he almost sucseeded and stuff and I think it would be interesting if I could read a full 50 chapter book of that so I was wondering if I could borrow the idea of a fanfic of my own?

Hello anon! So glad you enjoyed OCLAL! :) Fun fact, the idea of a murder mystery with a teacher going after students was totally inspired by the anime Erased (sorry for spoilers! still a fantastic watch tho imo). Super sweet of you to ask for permission on this idea, even if that element of it is not from my noggin originally but STILL! I'm a big believer in, as a writer, being inspired by other works in order to craft a story of your own that you personally find fun (so long as it's not direct stealing, of course), especially in fanfiction where there's not any money involved. If you do write something, feel free to share it with me bc, obviously, I love the idea too! Have fun!

TL;DR: thank you and yeah, go for it! happy writing!

#anon ask #my writing #erased spoilers #erased anime #of crime lords and literature #i love how writers are constantly inspired to write stories based off other media they loved #the lunar chronicles is based off sailor moon #the love hypothesis is basically reylo fanfic #point pleasant is supernatural fanfic #carry on is harry potter/draco malfoy fanfic #i bet the list goes on and on

Summary:

When Reggie Johnson answers a job ad in the paper, she's astonished to find that she's not applying to work at her favorite card game, Spellcraft: The Magicking. Instead, she's applying to be an actual familiar for an actual witch. As in, real magic.

The new job has a few perks - great room and board, excellent pay, and she's apprenticing to a powerful witch. Sure, the witch is a bit eccentric. And sure, there was that issue with the black cat Reggie would prefer to forget about. The biggest problem, however, is warlock Ben Magnus, her employer's nephew and the most arrogant, insufferable, maddening man to ever cast a spell.

Reggie absolutely hates him. He's handsome, but he's also bossy and irritating and orders her around. Ben's butt might look great in a crystal ball vision, but that's as far as it goes. But when someone with a vendetta targets the household, she finds herself working with Ben to break a deadly curse. Apparently, when they're not fighting like cats and dogs, things get downright...bewitching.

Plot Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ /5

Character Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Romance Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️ /5

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ /5

Would I Recommend? Mmm... yes.

What I Liked:

The story itself is very interesting and well thought out. Many parts that were unexpected yet humorous and fun to read.

Most of the characters are solid individuals who add their weight to the story.

Aunt Dru is definitely the star of the show, regardless who the main characters are meant to be!

The "enemies to lovers" trope played out fairly well and took its time throughout the story. I'm glad they didn't "fall in love" by chapter three.

What I Didn't Like:

A few plot holes that make me question a few characters or wonder if there was more the author could have expanded on or finished seeing through.

It's written in first POV and has alternating chapters which made it feel weird alternating between Reggie's and Ben's perspectives consistently. It definitely could have benefited being written in third POV instead.

A few characters got on my nerves and I couldn't like them no matter how important they were to the main characters and the story.

The "grumpy/sunshine" trope didn't work too well in this story because Reggie isn't really "sunshine". She's very skeptical and weary of others, making her almost skittish and too cautious. There isn't much happiness found in that.

My Thoughts:

Once again, I fell for another Relyo-inspired novel. I couldn't resist the premise! An enemies-to-lovers witchtok vibe between a brooding "Ben" and a runaway "Rey" couldn't sit on my TBR pile for too long, especially with October right around the corner!

Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this novel as much as I hoped. If it weren't for the fact the main love interests are based off my favorite Star War's star-crossed lovers I would have dropped it at 30%.

Reggie answers a newspaper and misinterprets the ad. She plays the card game Magic the Gathering and mistakes the "magic" part of the ad as a reference to the game. When she shows up to her interview she quickly learns the old woman has no intention of playing with magic cards when she can perform magical spells in her kitchen. Reggie is thrown back by their "delusions" but is pulled into accepting the job when the pay is too good to be true.

I've never played Magic the Gathering but it was used to bring Reggie and Ben closer so it I suppose it pulled it's weight later on in the story.

Reggies best friend and ex-roommate was my LEAST favorite character. He was meant to be an overly friendly guy who loved Reggie like a sister but I couldn't overlook his flaws. Who in their right mind would send their boyfriend's dick pics to their best friend? Apparently that was a very normal behavior for him, although Reggie never appreciated it. Every nude and screenshot he captured of his boyfriend was sent to Reggie with a parade of emojis following. I know it was meant to make Ben jealous but I couldn't get over how gross and annoying that is!

Not to mention moving his boyfriend into the apartment they used to share a few weeks after Reggie accepted her new job. Reggie worried the boyfriend taking her old room closed her escape plan, just in case the job didn't work out, but she didn't say anything on behalf of his happiness. But it was kind of a dick move on his part. Thankfully he isn't a huge part of the story.

There were also a few (major, imo) plot points that remained unfinished and left me with many questions.

Plot point number one; apparently Reggie has magic in her lineage otherwise she wouldn't have been able to answer the charmed newspaper ad. The fact she was able to read the otherwise invisible ad told Aunt Dru she has some magic in her blood. However that is never explored or addressed again. We learn Reggie could be a witch but nothing is done with that information. It's literally dropped and forgotten.

Plot point number two; her two thieving free-loading parents don't have a history of their own. Considering Reggie has magic in her past I thought her parents would be revealed to have dabbled with a few spells in their youth but unfortunately that doesn't happen. We keep hearing about her horrible parents who use her as a bottomless bank but we don't know anything about them beyond that. We don't know what they're spending the money on or how they're able to continually find her (magic would have been a great excuse to explain that since no one is able to figure out how they're able to tail her whenever they need to steal more money from her, not to mention practicing magic is very expensive as Aunt Dru proves through her shopping list which would explain why they're always broke so quickly). I feel there is definitely missed potential here that would have done a lot for Reggie's part of the story.

The romance is well written but the spice is...

Ben has lived for over 500 years, has taken lovers in the past, but is somehow very vanilla. Their multiple sexual encounters are... awkward at best. I mean, the first time they began to explore each other's bodies was at the bottom of a muddy well. They don't have the best decision making once their sex drives begin to spike. Sure, it makes for fun situations but it puts a damper on the sexiness.

The most infamous moment of sexual tension having to be when Reggie willingly confessed she spied on Ben masturbating through a crystal ball when she wanted to test if magic was real. The fact he took it as a dare makes it all the more uncomfortable.

Overall, the book had a great story to tell with characters that added depth and humor. Although there are some parts to it that I didn't enjoy it's still a good book to read. I'd recommend it even though it's not a solid five stars.
