The High Mountain Court (The Five Courts of Okrith #1) by A. K Mulford


 The High Mountain Court (The Five Crowns of Okrith #1)

A.K Mulford



Found this book on Kindle Unlimited and it really seemed like something I’d be interested in because of how much I’ve been into witches and fae. There are so many books on kindle unlimited, but it just seems like a lot of them are smut. I’m a fan of it, don’t get me wrong, but it is still all very new to me. So this was a friendly face in the middle of it all that was reminiscent of ACOTAR, Serpent and Dove, and Blood and Honey. They all very much have the same vibe and I love the idea of different courts and magic. Thing with this book is that I read it in one day. So my notes are a little iffy because of it, so bare with me!


This Book is About:


  • A witch, Remy, hides her true self from the kingdom she lives in, where she is actually hunted. A Fae prince, the bastard prince, of the kingdom court that wants her dead most of all finds her and asks her for help. 

  • This help includes finding hidden artifacts that belong to red witches, who can animate objects, and will help defeat the dictator taking over all of the courts.

  • Along the way, she finds herself, friends, and true love.

  • There are twists, turns, and honestly the entire thing is just magnificent.


What I Liked:


  • Just enough spice to keep things interesting, and not too graphic which is a pleasant surprise.

  • There are 5 different courts, courts similarly set up like in ACOTAR. 

  • There are all different types of witches, fae, and the concept of Fated Mates was 10/10 chef kisses.

  • Amazingly strong friend group, who tease, but never degrade one another.



What Wasn’t My Cup of Tea:


  • How the dictator king figured her out solely based on freckles she has on her wrists. Where it is only mentioned once. 

  • Not enough of a slow burn, it was there, but they really just went fast.

  • That Heather gave her life, sweet and necessary for the plot, but just irked me that it had to be her.

  • Sister is a bit of a bitch.


Overall Thoughts:


  • Would absolutely recommend it to friends and lovers of other books like this.

  • My notes for this section are an absolute mess. 

  • Love the ally reveal at the end, and who was actually on Remy’s side all along.

Miracle Mountain (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #20) by J.L Bryan

      During the gold rush, prospectors came to Miracle Mountain in northern Georgia, looking for their fortune in the local waterways. Legend tells of a mysterious event, of a girl falling to her death from the local waterfall and miraculously coming back to life the next day. Tourists now come to this legendary location looking for a miracle of their own. Nearby is a rustic historical inn that welcomes visitors looking for their own miracle and a glimpse of the local ghost Freija. Ellie and her team are called in to help the owners get rid of the malevolent spirits that are scaring away business.      I love this entire book; I swear every time it gets scarier as the series goes on! Ellie and Jordan come to the Highwater Inn to help rid of the malevolent ghosts but are told to steer clear of the friendly welcoming ones. The owner Willow, who claims to be a spiritualist, is trying to contact the dead and even goes as far as to welcome them into the inn. Wi...

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

 Absolutely, hands down, my favorite book in the series. The entire evolution of the story is incredible. Thank gosh it was broken down into three parts because this bitch wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise.      LOVE the evolution of Nesta beginning to live and love herself, despite the darkness she's caused and witnessed. That she finds her reason for being and fights to retain it and fights to be a better version of herself constantly. Nesta finding her love in music and dancing, is so beautifully  written. The house being sentient being, even capable of complex emotion and understanding, is so beautiful. It gives Nesta the nurturing, respect, and love that her mother never gave her. Which while healing is something she desperately  needs especially because her mother was so absolutely awful to her. The addition of Emerie and Gwyn are the perfect characters to add and further broaden the family in the ACOTAR universe.       ...

The Trailwalker (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #13) by J.L Bryan

  "Why would teenage boys go out on a boat in a storm" Stacey wondered. "Well, now that I say it aloud, it kinda answers itself"           The team is brough to an old campground that is full of local legend. It is next to the mysterious mounds of a vanished people and once a summer camp for children before it was abruptly shut down due to mysterious deaths. The Conner family moved from the city, to create a space for children in need. They're on a deadline and the construction in the camp is stirring up the spirits of the grounds and woods. Between the deaths within the camp, Josh Conner's inability to accept the paranormal, and an old Indigenous legend of the Trailwalker, there is no shortage of possibilities. One thing remains the same though, t hese spirits are mainly targeting the Conner kids. Ellie and the team have to dig into this campground's rich history and determine what or who is threatening the family. Or else they may be forced to give u...
