My Thoughts on the Vicious Lost Boys Series by Nikki St. Crowe

My Thoughts on the Vicious Lost Boys Series by Nikki St. Crowe

The Vicious Lost Boys by Nikki St. Crowe is a dark reimaging of Peter Pan and Wendy. This series has four books in total in the main series, though there is going to be a spin-off book in the future. This review is going to focus solely on the main series. These books are fairly short reads, so you can easily read each of them in one sitting. They do have an enemy-to-lover and reverse harem vibe to them, as well as darker undertones. If those aren't your vibe, then this series isn't for you. …

Turned Myself into Lara Croft from Tomb Raider

Turned Myself into Lara Croft from Tomb Raider

I've been playing the Tomb Raider series (2013 ones) over on Twitch, so I felt it was only right that I turn myself into Lara Croft using body paint and makeup. I swear Lara should not be alive at the end of these games. It's becoming a point I keep pointing out all the medical injuries as I play these games. Don't get me wrong, I'm having a blast playing them but still, Lara should not be alive. So, I wanted to reflect that in this body paint but including her injuries and the ripped-up tank top she's rocking by the end of the game.…

Hogwarts Legacy: How to Solve the Merlin Trials

Hogwarts Legacy: How to Solve the Merlin Trials

One of the things you'll come across regularly in Hogwarts Legacy is the Merlin Trials. There are a total of 95 trials spread throughout the world, but you do not need to complete all of them to complete the challenge. Though if you want the achievement, then you will need to complete every single Merlin Trial. Each trial requires placing Mallowsweet on the altar, then completing the specific puzzle around you. So, I figured I would go over how to solve each of them. However, I will not be going into where to find all of them as they are easy to spot on your map.…

My Thoughts on The Broken Kingdom Series by LJ Andrews

My Thoughts on The Broken Kingdom Series by LJ Andrews

I love a good retelling or adaptation of classic folklore. This series by LJ Andrews is going to be broken into four parts. The first is Beauty and the Beast (books 1-3), the second is Cinderella (books 4-6), the third is Swan Princess (books 7-9), and the last is the Phantom of the Opera (10-12). However, not all of the parts have been released as of yet. But by the end, all four tales will collide together for a grand finale. While the series are separate, they occur in the same world and are interconnected. So, you can read the Cinderella books first, but it is recommended that you read them in the order they were published. Particularly since characters are introduced in the first book and their stories build on what happened in the previous ones. The whole series is part Viking, part folklore, with Fae and magic.…

My Thoughts on the Never After Series by Emily McIntire

My Thoughts on the Never After Series by Emily McIntire

I gave brief thoughts on each of the books during my monthly round-ups, but I thought I would discuss the four books released in the Never After Series by Emily McIntire in one post. I find these to be really interesting. Each book is standalone, so you don't have to read them in order for each of them to understand what's happening. They are fractured fairy tales, meaning they have references to the original stories but are not retellings by any means. They are also dark and feature mature and graphic content. So, there are trigger warnings (different ones) for each of the books.…

Video Games I Have Spent the Most Time Playing

Video Games I Have Spent the Most Time Playing

I saw this idea from Angelika Oles and thought it would be a fun idea. Most of the games featured on this list are my all-time favorite games. By no means is this every game I've ever played or the true total amount. As I've switched computers several times over the years, and the Nintendo Switch gives a rough estimate with only 20 games displayed. One of the games on this list wasn't displayed but I based the time on how long the game takes on average. If I had the stats for how much time I played The Sims 2 and 3 those would be on here too, but sadly I don't know the answer to that as I played on my dad's laptop and a computer I left behind years ago. Plus, those were played on physical disks so I don't have those stats. I also grouped games of a series together as I feel that gives a more accurate portrayal of the time I spent in those worlds.…

Looking Back at the Games I Played in 2022

Looking Back at the Games I Played in 2022

I played a lot of games in the last year. Typically, I don't do a wrap-up type post in regard to the games I played. But I figured why not this year. I'm not really going to go into my thoughts on every game as most of them have a review on my blog. I'll link those where appropriate. I also included a highlight reel from my twitch streams, since a majority of the games were featured in this video (as well as some body painting but the majority are on the games). So, what all did I play?…

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Great Crater

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Great Crater

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet ends when you go into the Great Crater after the professor with Penny, Arven, and Nemona. Immediately, you get the sense that something is off. Koraidon or Miraidon will retreat and refuse to come out of their Pokéball the second you get into the crater. I won't go into spoilers of what happens plotwise, but I will be sharing how to get through the boss fight. Which happens after you go through the Great Crater and visit four research stations.…
