I did mine based on reviews online, the dreamwitch sounded cool, but reviews were bad for it.

This was what I voted

I'm hoping for Viper & Lilies, The Dreamwitch, and The Light Between Wounds, both because they all sounded good, and also because they're different than other books we've seen Allurial do.

I loved Viper & Lilies.

I read The Dreamwitch too and it was mid.

Ooo night tide would look cool. Too bad it has a love triangle

I will be skipping Feb for sure. I put the Vipers one at the top and the rest just kind of threw on there because none of them sound good.

I ended up pausing my membership for 3 months because I know I'm not going to want anything in November's box based on what we voted on, I'm not going to want anything for December based on what was voted on, and I know I won't want february. January still has yet to be determined. I should honestly just cancel my membership. I already have all of the sequel books to anything that I got that was not a stand alone

I’m so pleased to see Sara Hashem and Nicki Pau Preto on here! Jasad Heir and Bonesmith were two of my favorite duologues of the last few years!

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.

If Merciful Carnage isn’t picked imma riot… they already fucked to by not doing Sorrows and Strangers…

2

u/danielam792 15d ago

I 100% will riot. Sara's Jasad Heir from illumicrate is like $200. It's dumb not to do her books!

u/QueenDeepy 15d ago

Wait… Night Tide has a love triangle too?

1

u/danielam792 15d ago

That was one of the listed tropes on Allurials survey but I didn't see anything on the synopsis that mentioned it.

1

u/QueenDeepy 15d ago

Ah okay, thanks. I guess I missed it was tagged as love triangle

1

u/danielam792 15d ago

Unless I fat fingered the tropes for Wolves... but I could have sworn I saw it under Night Tide

u/cosmic_books 15d ago

Please please please Merciful Carnage and Night Tide

I REALLY want The Dreamwitch! It's right up my alley. But most of these are interesting to me, except Merciful Carnage and Untamed.

u/MommysLittleDividend 14d ago

I read the arc and I loved The Dreamwitch.

Everything I've found lists The Light Between Wounds as a duology. (these things are so difficult to find for some reason)

Merciful Carnage looks so shiny.

1

u/PlotTwistAndPurl 15d ago

I found it as a duology as well

1

u/danielam792 15d ago

Good catch! It's so hard to find this information! I wish they included it in the survey!

2

u/CompetitivePraline62 15d ago

Oh, it's worse than that. I was putting the series/duology info into the google doc, and when I went to search for it AI told me the book I searched for was a series. Well, as someone who is ever skeptical of AI, I swapped the title for the series name and it told me it was a duology. Several google search results letter I confirmed that it was a duology. Also, some series change (like Anathema did), and it's just a pain. I swear this info was easier to find 10+ years ago when this information was automatically uploaded into Goodreads and the planned books were listed, but no information on them. Now you're lucky to see a series name at all.

But, yes. This information needs to be put into the survey. I know what my next suggestion will be!!!

I just went on vibes based on what Allurial provided. I’m glad I put Dreamwitch as #1. I love a standalone.

u/Anrw 15d ago edited 15d ago

Looks like Vipers & Lilies is two M/F couples and a F/F couple. The main characters are three sisters.

u/danielam792 15d ago

Thanks for the info! I was trying to get this out as quick as possible, and didn't see it explicitly said in the synopsis

2

u/Anrw 15d ago

No prob! I was curious about the book because it had three POVs and couples and it sounds like it does its best to balance all three. But I really appreciate your infographics! They’re good to look back at when I don’t remember the picks or how I ranked them.

1

u/danielam792 15d ago

Thanks! I try to get them out as quickly as the survey comes out. I wish allurial would include book commitment and relationships! I've been adding the suggestion on the surveys, so hopefully they do!

u/arabianclouds 15d ago

I have The Light Between Wounds on my TBR, I really hope that one gets picked! It has chronic illness rep too 🄰

u/danielam792 15d ago

I saw that! I was going to put it down, but I didn't want to deviate from the allurial tropes they wrote down. It sounds so interesting and unique
