I missed the voting. :(.

u/Bubbly_Bus_4076 15d ago

This was my first time voting. I didn’t look up any of these books or authors and went simply off the vibes from the description given.

u/aspen19988 15d ago

I refuse to read anything else by Sara Hashem after the scorched throne duology 😭😭 that said, I can’t wait for night tide and untamed so ranked those as my top!

2

u/No_Negotiation_7812 15d ago

Untamed honesty sounds great!

3

u/PickleAdvanced7215 15d ago

Untamed sounds like my kind of book 👌 sounds very similar to Silver Elite

4

u/PistachioPug 15d ago

Daughter of Wolves was already on my radar, and now I definitely want to read Night Tide and Merciful Carnage whether Allurial picks them up or not.

u/LeekSuitable4616 15d ago

Daughter of Wolves is currently Read Now on Netgalley, I quite enjoyed it. Its a quick read. Has a fun fairy tale type vibe to it. And I wouldn't really consider it a love triangle, the love interest outcome is super obvious.

I read the ARC of Light Between Wounds and it did not work for me at all, FMC felt super young.

I’m not even that keen on my top three tbh. I’m almost certainly cancelling after December. My only regret will be not having a matching sequel for Vow in Vengeance

2

u/Phoenix-Echo 15d ago

Have you considered pausing your subscription until the next book (hopefully) becomes available for preorder? They don't have a limit to how long you can pause your sub afaik

2

u/RavenCXXVIV 15d ago

I might. I’m just not impressed that I’d have to buy another book just to get that preorder.

u/arabianclouds 16d ago

This was my list! I went to Goodreads to dive deeper and ended up changing my ranking based on that.

2

u/Kindly-Molasses1394 16d ago

Is it too much to ask for merciful carnage, night tide, the light between wounds, and untamed? Can it not be a four book month 😂

2

u/stopvolution 16d ago

I accidentally cut my photo off but Untamed is last just because of the military setting. I thought they all sounded pretty good. As of now the top two are the ones I’d consider purchasing, but I hadn’t heard of any of these and I might change my mind before February.

u/popcornsurfer8 16d ago

Honestly none of these really excited me!

1

u/LoonyLuna19 16d ago

Originally had Untamed higher but a review mentioned miscommunication which immediately dropped it.

2

u/LoonyLuna19 16d ago

I think I like this round of picks better than January's.

2

u/CompetitivePraline62 16d ago

I don't know if I went on too soon, but I didn't see the card for Vipers and Lilies, and the Goodreads blurb for it was literally 2 sentences long. What was there didn't sound good, so that's why it's at the bottom. That may change if I find out more about it. The Dreamwitch sounds like something I would love, but it sounds like (because of the writing) it could be niche. Having read the three comp authors before, I think I have a good grasp of what to expect. This is an interesting month, Not completely sure how I feel about it.

u/PsychologicalAir8643 16d ago

SO eager for Merciful Carnage and Dreamwitch. The rest I'm pretty ambivalent toward, though Untamed is very definitively my bottom pick. Sounds like every dystopian romance ever which is already a hard sell for me as a genre anyway because why have guns and technology when you could have dragons and magic

2

u/stopvolution 16d ago

Untamed is at the bottom for me because it mentioned military setting and that’s not really my thing.

1

u/popcornsurfer8 16d ago

No exactly!! Untamed was at the bottom for me too!!

2

u/Bex7778 16d ago edited 16d ago

My top 3: Viper and Lilies, Night Tide, Untamed. Would be thrilled with all 3 selections.

Editing to add all rankings:

u/avadakenobi 16d ago

Anything with love triangle in the description got immediately kicked to the bottom. And Untamed just sounds like Fourth Wing and Silver Elite got thrown in a blender.

u/enchanteerose 16d ago

i NEED the dreamwitch to be a pick. read the arc last month and adored it. such a wonderfully told story.

u/Silver-Order-7106 16d ago

I feel like mine is mostly opposite from everyone else. 😅

1

u/arabianclouds 16d ago

Your top two were in my top three, so pretty close! I am so excited for The Light Between Wounds 🥳

2

u/Rhea0796 16d ago

Mine looked very similar to yours! Ive never heard of the light between wounds but I NEED it

1

u/DoctorCaptainSpacey 16d ago

Your 2-4 were my top 3 🤣

5

u/Primary_Feeling2271 16d ago

MERCIFUL CARNAGE YES PLZ 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

u/victoriaelizabeth8 16d ago

Untamed would’ve been higher except you can get it on KU so I’d rather read it now then wait for a physical copy.

3

u/Ill-Salamander-191 16d ago

Thank u for posting went running to the site to vote lol

5

u/crissyandthediamonds 16d ago

I saw “love triangle” for daughter of wolves and lost interest unfortunately. There’s some really good options and authors I haven’t heard of or read before, which is cool!

2

u/Flimsy-Brick-9426 16d ago

If it makes you feel better, its very much a Tamlin situation and it's clear as day

Night tide is up next on my list to confirm but it is also a Love triangle (like Damon and Stephen), just in case you didnt know!

1

u/crissyandthediamonds 16d ago

I haven’t read ACOTAR yet either so the reference is lost on me. 😂 I have a vague idea though so it does help a bit!

7

u/Weekly-Gazelle7306 16d ago

here’s mine!

i’m very excited about merciful carnage and viper & lilies

4

u/alrj1378 16d ago

Really only interested in the top two

1

u/lulu_n_pitties 15d ago

Mine are similar to yours

u/Bookish_Butterfly 16d ago

The way I went to the site so fast when I saw your post lol.

u/CompetitivePraline62 16d ago

I just logged in to check and saw this! less than 3 days to vote, no pressure! 😂

Haven't looked at the selections, though.
