So was Starside by Alex Aster overhyped? Here’s my spoiler free review. What did you think? #starside #alexaster #bookreviews #romantasy #popularbooks

Team Grim or Team Oro? 💘 @alexaster says she has known from day one how the big love triangle in the #Lightlark saga is going to end: “I always joke I’m going to have to into witness protection when the final book comes out.” 👀 #lightlarksaga #alexaster #yabooks #youngadultbooks #youngadult #bookstagram #booktok #fantasybooks #nightbane #skyshade #romantasy #romantasybooks #gmabookclub #teamoro #teamgrim

@alexaster let us turn her into our own Hannah Montana for the Starside tour stop at Barnes and Noble Huntington Beach 🫶🏻 Although she’s a rockstar to us readers, she is so down to earth in person, just like Hannah. #hannahmontanaforever #alexaster #lightlark #bookish #romantasy

ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID!! Reunited with my love @alexaster to celebrate Starside with FairyLoot 🌟🗡️ #alexaster #starside #bookish

@alexaster casually drops that the second installment of 'Starside' is already DONE … and book one isn’t even out yet 🤯 We're so ready!

Alex’s readers were the reason she was able to publish The LightLark series, Summer in the City, and now she gave us Starside 🫶🏻 Which book of @alexaster did you read first? 🎥: @tina_marie_ #alexaster #lightlark #romantasy #taylorswift #bookish

Don’t mind me trying to convince you to read Starside with one quote 🤭 -𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 -𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 -𝗮 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 -𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 -𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 -𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻 -𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝘀 -𝗴𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 What starts as a quest for revenge against the gods turns into a race against the gods finding her first. This book was a ROLLERCOASTER. I had my guard up and was really not sure how I was feeling for the first 50%. But, as it went on and the characters and plot really began to build and build I started liking it more and more. By the end I was on the edge of my seat and hooked. My favorite part of this book, other than how whimsical it felt, was the TRUE enemies to lovers. Tension you could cut with a knife and two main characters who truly seem to HATE each other. The slow burn was slow burning and the enemies are enemies that’s for sure. I am definitely itching for book 2. #alexaster #starsidealexaster #newromantasybook #enemiestoloversrecs #slowburnromantasy

Trust me, you NEED to meet Harlan “Hate Me Harder” Raker – broody, masked warrior energy and 100% book boyfriend material. True enemies-to-lovers, slow burn, tension, and a total page-turner – Starside by @alexaster . Highly recommend the audiobook ☺️ #starside #alexaster #harlanraker #enemiestolovers #slowburn
