Books recommendations I do love giving recommendations when it comes to books. I love reading so sharing what I like and the genres give me the confidence and adrenaline I didn't know I had. For some months now I have been in different kind of genres. I've also indulged myself in trying audiobooks as I get to multitask while working and doing chores. The good thing about audiobooks is you get to experience the real drama. Although having a wide range of images in reading, it's different in audiobooks because you get to encounter first-hand drama with the narrators. The way the narrator also cries in the heavy scenes is so enticing that it made me stick to listening to audiobooks for a while but still go back to my usual flipping pages in reading as it also gives me peace and comfort.

So, my first recommendation would be The Legacy of Gods series by Rina Kent. I know most of the readers would recommend reading the first few generations of books before this but what hooks me with these is the characters, especially in book 5 as I really love Brandon King the most out of all the King siblings. So apologies if I jump up to this recent series that was written by my most loved author. LOG(Legacy Of God) series mostly talks about the feud between two schools and the respective leaders of the sorority. What entices me in reading is this is a kind of dark romance that you can't put down not after finishing it up to the end. The first couple would be Killian Carson from the Kings U and Glyndon King from the Royal Elite U. Their first encounter is kinda brutal and worst as I don't like the way Kill manhandles Glyn but through the course of the story they seem kinda fit with each other as they are like the sun and moon of the series. The second couple would be Creighton King and Annika Volkov. Well, for me it's like she falls first and she falls harder stigma as the girl in this book kept on chasing and disturbing the calm demeanor of the guy as he seemed kinda make her curious and want to know more about the guy. Dark as in dark in a way that he would go to such measures as kidnapping the girl and using her cousin in doing so without knowing the consequences of it. In the end, even though they're not a great pair they somewhat coexist only with each other. The third couple would be Jeremy Volkov and Cecily Knight. Oh I love this couple because I love Cecily Knight for being the nerd and the mother of the group and I love how easily she can be loved but not by Jeremy. Their first encounter is the same as Glyndon's as they joined the initiation of The Kings U but not for the same reason as Gly because Cecily went and joined the initiation for the reason to study the area. Trust issues arise mostly in this book as the push and pull also. All in all, I love this couple as much as I love Cecily. The fourth couple would be the Landon King and Mia Sokolov. Imagine being the ruthless leader of the sorority and then getting interested in a mute. well not literally a mute but she just stopped talking and just doing sign language ever since she was 9. Their story is unique because the girl is feisty and really loves revenge for their loved ones. The twist would be at the end of the story. And also imagine being a leader of an enemy turf yet you walk through the crowd of people and greet your girl in front of everyone and request a truce for the sake of his girl!!!! a total of one thousand thumbs up to you man! The fifth and my favorite couple and I re-reader for about seventh or eight, I guess the tenth time already as it is the first MM book that I read. I read BL manga most of the time but it's the first time I get hooked with these two. And also this is the first MM book of the author and it kinda excites me to know what she got for the first time. Nikolai Volkov and Brandon King were the surprise couple we never thought would emerge. I mean I do get some hints while reading the first four books of the series but when I read this one oh my freaking God it's so damn good. Brandon as you guessed goes to the initiation for the mere reason of keeping his twin (Landon King) safe from the REU turf and then comes the interaction with the worst and most ruthless member of the REU whom is Nikolai. Their interaction is really cute. I didn't know Nikolai had this cute side of him that he only showed to Brandon. Their interactions are really cute and the angst and slow burn are intense that's why I love them. What I love also about the couple is even though their relationship is unique they didn't stop themselves from being in love. I also love how accepting their parents are. This book is my favorite as it's also my first MM book. P.S.: This is also the reason I'm into reading MM books nowadays even doing audiobooks. The last couple would be Eli King and Ava Nash. Well, I don't like their story period. It feels kinda rush. And I know Ava has an illness but Eli doesn't have the right to torment her even more. Eli is Ava's childhood crush and their age gap hinders it as Eli looks at Ava as a kid and through the years it dawns on Ava that Eli will never love her the way she loves him. And then hatred comes but then they get married out of nowhere and then Ava gets abrupt amnesia and then her illness worsens and then Eli comes to help and then she remembers it all and then they end up happy together. Overall, I love the series I get to recommend this as one of my best aside from the others that I got. I will put it in later if I have time on my table. Till next time...
