Sundays are for lingering. For that final slow breath before the new week begins, that last sip of tea that’s gone lukewarm but still tastes of sweetness and spice.

The most decadent books don’t just whisk you away—they toy with you. They slip a single question into your bloodstream and let it pulse there until you can’t tell if you’re imagining it… or if the world has tilted just a little to the left.

Rating: 4.5 starsVerdict: Devour it like a forbidden kiss in a fire-lit corner of the Afterlife.

Julia Fine’s What Should Be Wild is one of those books that feels like wandering into a misty forest—you’re intrigued, a little enchanted, but also slightly disoriented and not totally sure where you’re going. The story follows Maisie Cothay, a girl born with a deadly gift: anything she touches—living or dead—either dies or comes back

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️A knife-edged fairytale carved from bone, blood, and blistering sun. Callie Hart’s Quicksilver isn’t your typical romantasy. It doesn’t wear flower crowns or waltz through glittering courts. This story drags its claws through sand and snow, stitching magic and myth into something that feels both brutal and utterly alive. Saeris Fane is the kind of
