💬 What Readers Are Saying

"I have not read a fantasy book in a long time that has made me feel the way your book felt. I am absolutely obsessed. Your writing and story were perfection. I could not stop reading. I cannot wait for this book to release to others. I have lost sleep, shed tears, and absolutely fell in love with your story."

Review for We Were Meant to Burn

"I haven't felt this way about a book since I've read the ACOTAR series and Fourth Wing. It's truly amazing. The world building in this story was absolutely incredible. I could "see" everything, feel everything: the pain, the emotional turmoil, the inner battles, the angst, the tension, fear, heartbreak, fallin in love, all of it! This is one of the best books I've ever read. Thank you so much for allowing me to experience this amazing world and story you created. I'm so sad that I'll never get to read this again for the first time, but I'm excited to read it again."

Review for We Were Meant to Burn

"We Were Meant to Burn gave everything from banter, found family, to rescue to slow burn. This story was hilarious. It was gut wrenching. I cried and I laughed. It was beautiful. Malakai is the fae you write about in your journal. I love this story. 10/10 recommend."

Review for We Were Meant to Burn

"This book gave me everything: twists, betrayals, tender moments, and tears. Nix is such a powerful, broken character. She's been used and abused her whole life, and watching her slowly realize she's worthy of more was such a beautiful journey."

Review for We Were Meant to Burn

"The happy ending wasn't easy to get to and you go through a lot of emotions getting there but so well worth it!! I loved the growth in all of the characters and watching their bonds form. I loved the message that sometimes family isn't who we are born into but the family we create along the way. I'm so sad this is over, but can't wait to read more by Nicolette!"

Review for the Ozero Curse Trilogy

"I love the play on the Beauty and the Beast vibes and all the amazing tropes such as fated mates. A big bonus for me is it deals with Aztec mythology and I LOVE a story with good lore! The characters are so well done, they have such depth and feel to them. I absolutely loved them!! They're all pretty badass in their own way! This is highly recommended!"
