Januaries: Stories of Love, Magic & Betrayal by
Olivie Blake
My rating:
4 of 5 stars
This collection was such a dreamy, weird, and emotional ride—in the best way possible. Januaries is like stepping into a maze of magic, heartbreak, and sharp little truths that hit way harder than expected. Olivie Blake’s writing is lyrical and haunting, with that signature “what did I just read but also yes” energy she’s known for.
Every story had its own vibe, but they all carried this thread of love tangled with something darker—betrayal, longing, a little bit of madness. Some stories were soft and aching, others totally unhinged (in the coolest way). It felt like flipping through someone’s most magical nightmares and tender daydreams all at once.
This isn’t the kind of book you rush through—it’s the type you sit with, let it linger, and then suddenly realize one of the stories burrowed into your brain. A total must-read for fans of beautifully strange, emotionally charged tales.
