I get sooooo embarrassed writing romantic confession scenes I can only write/read/edit like a sentence at a time before I get overwhelmed by secondhand embarrassment and have to take a break like we shouldn’t be seeing this! It’s private! Everybody look the other way right now

The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Talasyn has always been a soldier in the Hurricane Wars. Growing up without her family has taught her to fight for her country, but to hide her light magic. Alaric is the heir and prince of the Night Empire, which has sought to conquer and destroy Talasyn’s home for the past decade. His shadow magic is the equal and opposite of hers, and in a deadly battle both of their powers converge and create a greater force. Will these two sworn enemies survive when they are faced with an impending threat to their world, or will joining Light with Shadow be the only way to end this war?
Thea Guanzon has truly outdone herself!! I have been a fan of hers since she first started on AO3, so I was SO excited when she announced her first book. THW is every bit Reylo mixed with Filipino culture/setting and enemies to lovers that Thea is so great at writing!! It does take about 5-7 chapters to get the world building out of the way, but it’s worth it to dive into Talasyn & Alaric’s story. The banter, sexual tension, and Filipino influence are my favorite parts (plus every reference to Alaric looking like Adam Driver🤤). The Hurricane Wars is out now, so run to your bookstore and get it!
