Fanfiction Spotlight: ‘Champion’ by I M Sterling – A Captivating Tale

Hey there, my fellow book revelers! This time, I am back with a Tomione fanfiction review for you. This is one of my favorite fanfics, and I have read it at least five times over the years. Well, let’s dive right into the review. Champion by I M Sterling Blurb The war is much larger, far longer, and much deeper than they could have imagined: fought on a scale that baffles the limits of human understanding. In such a world, perhaps it isn’t surprising when Hermione Granger is sent back in time to rescue Tom Riddle’s soul before he has the chance to destroy it. Chapters: 92 Status: Complete  Trigger warning: This fanfiction is Rated M. This fanfiction has dark elements/themes in it. Please check trigger warnings, or if you are not into this ship, avoid reading this.  My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ As an avid reader of fanfiction, it’s always a delight to come across a story that captivates and enthralls you from the very beginning. “Champion” by I M Sterling —a true gem in the fanfic universe! If you haven’t dived into it yet, you’re in for a treat. “Champion” presents a refreshing concept, seamlessly blending beloved characters and intricate plotlines into a new timeline that feels both nostalgic and excitingly fresh. The character portrayals are spot-on, adding layers and nuances to familiar faces while introducing new dynamics that keep the story lively and full of surprises. However, here’s the thing: while the plot and characterizations are absolutely gripping, the time travel (it’s not exactly time travel) element can get a bit tangled with the age progression of characters and some inconsistencies with the timeline. But don’t let that minor bump deter you—“Champion” is a page-turner. The storytelling is strong enough to keep readers hooked, and the attention to character development is truly commendable. Plus, the romance is a delightful bonus, beautifully unfolding from friendship to love with grace and charm. If you’re into richly woven narratives with deeply developed characters, “Champion” by I M Sterling is a must-read. It’s a shining example of the author’s talent and passion.

Best Dramione Fanfic: Forced Marriage, Enemies to Lovers, and More

Hey there, fellow book revelers and Dramione lovers! 😉 Have you been craving a story that’s deliciously dark, wickedly funny, and absolutely packed with steam? Because I have the perfect recommendation for you! Bloody, Slutty, and Pathetic by WhatMurdah 🎇🎇🎇 Bloody, Slutty, and Pathetic by WhatMurdah Blurb “In my humble opinion there’s only three things that men should be and that is bloody, slutty, and pathetic.” And, on a good day, Draco Malfoy can be all three. When war heroine Hermione Granger and Azkaban-tattooed war criminal Draco Malfoy are forced to wed as part of Shacklebolt’s controversial Reconciliation Act, they openly fight the match and each other—their public brawls breathlessly reported by the press. Secretly, a deeply traumatized Draco delights in Hermione’s attention and pines for a real marriage with her—even as her forced proximity to the Black family magic irritates the cursed scar Bellatrix left on her arm, reminding her why she can never truly trust or forgive him. Then Hermione discovers that Draco’s blood will soothe the scar . . . and Draco is willing to trade his blood for her body. Trigger warning: Just be warned, these are not the classic characters from Harry Potter World; these are morally grey characters with darker plot themes, so if that is not your cup of tea, I suggest not reading this. The title of this fic perfectly encapsulates its essence. It’s a whirlwind of emotions, from bloody confrontations to slutty escapades, all tied together. This Dramione fanfic takes enemies-to-lovers to a whole new level. We’ve got a forced marriage trope, a gloriously pathetic and possessive Draco Malfoy, and a morally grey Hermione Granger who’s one sassy spell away from exploding. Hermione’s fierce independence clashes beautifully with Draco’s desperate need for her, creating a captivating tension throughout the story. I can’t recommend this fanfic enough. It’s a dramatic, intense, and utterly enthralling read that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. Whether you’re here for the slutty shenanigans, the emotional rollercoaster, or the incredible character dynamics, this fic has it all. Download it, highlight your favorite quotes, and get ready for a Dramione experience like no other.  Click here if you would like to see more Book Recommendations. See you guys next time!

“Ultima Ratio” Will Mess You Up in the Best Way!

Hey guys, I am back with a new twist! This time, I want to introduce you to a new ship in HP fanfiction. Well, the ship isn’t new by any means, but it definitely is controversial. TOMIONE. Yup, you guessed it right. It’s the ship name of the fictional characters Tom Riddle and Hermione Granger. For those unfamiliar, Tomione exists solely in the realm of fanfiction. It explores a hypothetical romance between the brilliant witch Hermione and the dark and brooding Tom Riddle. This ship hinges on the idea of “what if,” taking characters on a path drastically different from their canon counterparts. Of course, Tomione isn’t for everyone. The dark nature of Tom Riddle can be off-putting for some readers. And, of course, these stories never portray their true characters because, let’s be honest, THAT would not make any sense in terms of a romantic relationship. Anyway, I enjoy reading this ship, so if you can separate these characters from the original book and characterization, you will love this book.  Trigger warning: This is Tomione, so obviously, this fanfiction is heavy on explicit and dark themes. Please check trigger warnings, or if you are not into dark romance, avoid reading this. Ultima ratio by Winterblume Blurb Ultima ratio – the last resort. At last the day of the Final Battle against Lord Voldemort has come. Harry, Ron and Hermione fight bravely against their nemesis – but then something goes wrong. And Hermione finds herself alone in a precarious situation. Chapter: 54 Rating: Mature This is a great story for those who enjoy alternate universe plots, the dynamics of an unlikely alliance, and romance. Though Hermione’s character sometimes felt, “I’m not like other girls! I am different,” overall, I enjoyed reading this fanfic. It was definitely not what I am used to reading (DRAMIONE), but nonetheless, it is worth reading. Click here if you would like to see more Book Recommendations. See you guys next time!

A Deathly Hallows rewrite in which Draco accepts Dumbledore’s offer to fake his death and go into hiding with the Order of the Phoenix Remain Nameless by HeyJude19 ⭐ Blurb How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger.The monotony of Draco’s daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose.

Why are morning meetings with Draco Malfoy the only thing that make sense anymore? Hunted by Bex-chan ⭐ Blurb Forced to work together when their old schoolmates start dying, Hermione & Draco must overcome their differences to solve the mysterious deaths. The tension in the office is getting rather…heated.  The Right Thing to Do by LovesBitca8 ⭐ Blurb Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn’t meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl. The Auction by LovesBitca8 ⭐ Blurb In the wake of the Dark Lord’s triumph over Harry Potter, the defeated must learn their new place. Hermione Granger, former Golden Girl, has been captured and reduced to human chattel. Sold to the highest bidder as the top prize at an auction of Order members and sympathizers, she is thrust into the rabid, waiting hands of the Death Eaters.

No Redemption Without Sin: A Candid Review of Sinners Anonymous!

Hi there, fellow book revelers!😉 I am back with an all-new book review! 😊✨ I will dive into the world of “Sinners Anonymous” by the incredible Somme Sketcher – the first installment of the Sinners Anonymous Series! 💫✨ In true book enthusiast fashion, I’m here to spill all the tea and give you the lowdown on what to expect from this book. 🍵💬 But first, let’s talk honesty – my trusty guide on this literary journey. 🗣️💯 Prepare yourselves for an honest review. No sugar-coating here, just the real deal! 🚫🍭 I TRY TO WRITE MY REVIEWS WITHOUT GIVING OUT ANY SPOILER. So, without further ado, it’s time to spill the tea! ☕️ Caution: Before reading “Sinners Anonymous by Somme Sketcher,” check out the trigger warnings, as this book follows themes unsuitable for everyone. Sinners Anonymous by Somme Sketcher Blurb My fiancé’s nephew knows every sin I’ve ever committed. He’s about to become the deepest and darkest of them all. My name is Rory Carter and I do bad things. There’s a charred soul under this angelic exterior and sometimes, I wonder if my weekly confessions to the Sinners Anonymous hotline will be enough to heal it. Marrying the seventy-something head of the Cosa Nostra to save my father is the only good deed I’ve ever done. I’m burning and bitter under the fake smile and tight dresses, but I was keeping it together. Was. Until my fiancé’s nephew turns up to dinner uninvited. Angelo ‘Vicious’ Visconti. A beautiful monster with cheekbones as sharp as his tongue. They say I shouldn’t be scared of him, because nine years ago, he went straight. He’s barely a Made Man anymore. But I say, he’s the most dangerous Visconti of all. It’s not just because his cold sneer makes my pulse flutter. Or the way his syrupy drawl trickles down my spine. No. He holds all of my sins in his big, rough hands. And the only sins darker than mine are his own. My Rating: Overall: 3 ⭐⭐⭐ Plot: 3 ⭐⭐⭐ Hero: 3 ⭐⭐⭐ Heroine: 3 ⭐⭐⭐ Romance: 3.5 ⭐⭐⭐ Sinners Anonymous is Book 1 of the Sinners Anonymous Series by Somme Sketcher. First and foremost, Somme Sketcher’s writing style is compelling, and it is effortlessly capable of drawing readers into the enthralling world of the book. Let’s meet the main characters, Rory and Angelo, in the tumultuous waters of a forbidden love affair. Rory is engaged to Angelo’s much older uncle (a whopping 70 years old!), giving us all the forbidden love vibes. 😱💘 I have seen many people online say this book draws comparisons to Sweetest Oblivion, but hold up! It’s not a copycat situation. I do not see the similarities as much that it can be said that it is a copy of it. I found the plot a tad predictable; the trope has been done many times, so many scenes or situations might feel similar to other books of the same genre. The plot was not so mysterious for me, with Rory being engaged for personal reasons (shocker!), who meets Angelo, a mafia man with a mysterious return to the underworld. Their first Cliffside meeting and the slow-burn connection were nice enough! 🔥🌄 I expected a badass heroine with heavy depth because of how the book starts, but she was pretty childish. As for Angelo, I think he was a bit indecisive. There was nothing too exciting about him as he was a stereotyped alpha hero. While this book was not something I would read again, I must say I did enjoy reading it; it’s just that it didn’t vibe with me in the long run. BTW, I REALLY ENJOYED READING THIS SERIES ‘ SECOND AND THIRD BOOKS. I can vouch that they’re a significant improvement over the first installment. All being said, the first book is a decent choice for those seeking dark romance without diving too deep into the abyss. 🖤 So, if you’re looking for a dark romance that’s not too heavy, Sinners Anonymous might be the perfect addition to your reading list! 🎢📚 About the author: Somme Sketcher is an internationally bestselling author of dark and mafia romance. She is best known for her Sinners Anonymous series and for writing the slowest of the slow burns (for which she is not sorry at all). When she’s not writing, you’ll find her trying to find a new hobby, like pottery (rubbish at it), ice skating (rubbish at that too), or listening to true crime podcasts. She also loves dogs and doesn’t trust those who don’t. Click here if you would like to read other book reviews. See you guys next time!
