Welcome to BookShook
Hey. I'm Faith.
Gremlin with a Kindle.
Too many feelings.
An inbox.
And now... a newsletter.
What Is BookShook?
BookShook is for romance readers who are:
- Addicted to good books (in the good way)
- Obsessed with under-the-radar authors
- Allergic to hype
- Tired of bland billionaires, recycled tropes, and “meh” BookTok picks
I dig through the Kindle Unlimited chaos to find the books that hit.
The ones that make you:
- Yell at the page
- Stay up until 2:37 a.m.
- Text your best friend “you have to read this” with zero context
- Laugh. Snort. (No, not cocaine.)

- Always underrated, and a ride
Paid Subscribers
- Five KU recs/week (Monday–Friday)
- Monthly “Gremlin Drops” — 10-book themed lists by trope or mood

KU Rec of the Week
Beneath the Cursed Veil
By Aurelia Jane & Kel Carpenter
Genre: Fae romantasy, fated mates, bounty hunter chaos
Spice Level: Sweaty
Plot: Has one. Thank god.
She’s a broke, sarcastic bounty hunter.
He’s a cursed fae king who’s been dreaming about her for years.
Only problem?
Now that he’s found her, he’s not letting go.
Why You’ll Love It
- Snarky as hell (the banter delivers)
- Full of ice magic, court politics, and fated longing
- Grumpy, possessive king energy
- Heroine who never shuts up
- Sexual tension sharp enough to slice realms open
If Throne of Glass and The Bargainer had a Kindle Unlimited baby raised by morally gray fae, it would be this.
It’s book one of a trilogy — and it leaves you wanting more, in the best (worst) way. The second book is out.
Seriously. Why isn’t anyone talking about this?
Want More?
This is just the beginning.
Paid subs get:
- Five KU recs per week
- Monthly 10-book Gremlin Drops
- Bonus chaos, unfiltered takes, and unhinged love
- Gremlin up your TBR — join the chaos crew for recs you won’t find on the ‘popular’ lists.
Thanks for being here.
More recs soon.
More chaos always.
