Kate Stewart did it again and I am not okay. Birds of a Feather is the kind of book that cracks you open and puts you back together differently. Tyler and Larissa’s story is painfully, beautifully broken — two people carrying so much life, so many confessions, so much hurt, learning to find themselves and each other at the same time. But Y’ALL the scenes between Tyler and Sean😭Heartbreaking and beautiful in a way I genuinely was not prepared for.
This book is packed with everything that matters — what love really looks like, what’s truly valuable, what it means to heal.
Did I cry? Not like previous books. Did I feel every single word in my soul? 1000 times yes. But I know…KNOW the audio will eviscerate me!
Kate Stewart, you genius. That ending — those last lines are living in my head rent free. FUCK ANTONY — I need Exalt NOW!🖤
This Halloween weekend, my daughter, her friend, and I packed up the car in Louisiana and hit the road for a girls’ trip to Asheville, North Carolina! With fall colors in full swing, mountains calling, and the promise of adventure (and maybe a little mischief), it was the perfect time for a getaway.
🍎 Grandad’s Apples: Fall Fun in Full Swing
Our first stop in Hendersonville was Grandad’s Apples, and it was the ultimate taste of fall. We went through a corn maze & wandered the orchard soaking up that crisp mountain air. Between the farm store goodies and the beautiful scenery, it was the kind of simple joy that makes road trips unforgettable.
🍇 Point Lookout Vineyards: A View Worth the Drive
From there, we headed up to Point Lookout Vineyards, where the views of the Blue Ridge Mountains absolutely stole the show. With the golden leaves spread out beneath us, we clinked glasses of local wine and watched the sun dip low—it was pure autumn magic.
🏰 The Biltmore Estate: Christmas Arrives Early
Next up, we spent a day at The Biltmore Estate! The mansion sparkled with twinkling lights, towering trees, and festive garlands in every room. The mix of fall outside and holiday magic inside made it feel like we got the best of both seasons in one visit.
🌄 Blue Ridge Parkway Drive
Of course, no Asheville trip is complete without cruising the Blue Ridge Parkway. The drive was nothing short of breathtaking, with every overlook showing off another burst of orange, red, and gold. We rolled the windows down, turned up the music, and let the mountains work their magic.
🎃 Kate Stewart’s Halloweenie Party
And because it was Halloween weekend, we made our way to Kate Stewart’s Halloweenie Party—and it was a blast! The costumes, the energy, the laughter—it was the perfect way to start our girls’ weekend.
☕ Asheville Adventures
We rounded out the trip with some time in downtown Asheville, exploring coffee shops, local art, and live music spots. The mix of cozy, creative, and mountain-chic vibes made us all fall a little bit in love with the city.
By the time we made our way back to Louisiana, our hearts were full and our camera rolls overflowing. Between apple orchards, Christmas magic at the Biltmore, and a Halloween party for the books, our girls’ trip to Asheville was one for the memory books.
I know the fandom was nervous about new narrators for the Legacy book but wholy moly y’all I am in LURVE with Grayson as Tyler. My goodness he is both polite & commanding 🔥 He’s always the caretaker & a freaking bada**
And Delphine y’all! Let’s be honest she was tough to sympathize with in the OG Ravenhood…but…here I am feeling the feels for Delphine🥺
Gah! I knew Kate would wreck me again but dayum lady! I am wrecked and begging for more😭🔥🦅

📚🎶 I had the most amazing moment meeting the incredible @KateStewartBooks! This lady has taken over my library and my music playlist. A forever one-click author for me! 💖✨ #BookLover #AuthorMeet #KateStewart #Bookstagram #MustRead #plusdamour #muchlove #ravenhoodseries
Celebrating half a century of life with an unforgettable journey!
Started off with the awe-inspiring Chihuly exhibit at Biltmore and a delightful meal at Mike’s on Main. We then ventured to Sean’s waterfall, a sight of pure enchantment, and savored the sweetness of Grandad’s Apples. C Our journey led us on a scenic drive along the stunning Blue Ridge Parkway, all the way to Point Lookout Vineyards. Here, a wine tasting session transformed this Gin girl into a wine lover! * A big thanks to the charming ladies there who made the experience unforgettable. Naturally, I brought home a bottle of Rainy Day and a cork from the Taste of Triple Falls as a memento! & As if the day wasn’t magical enough, I even had a chance encounter with the delightful “Cindy”.
The cherry on top? A visit to the tranquil and oh-so-pretty, Pretty Place Chapel – a moment of peace amidst the adventure.
Here’s to the next 50 years being as full of adventure, joy, and serenity as this special day!
I absolutely took my time snd savored getting to know Dr. Prick & Tweety😉. I loved their banter & of course Jane’s unfortunate mishaps had me laughing & feeling her embarrassment🫣 But y’all there’s nothing sexier than a guy who actually grows….get your mind out of the gutter (Jane already said he’s a shower😜). Once Lucian committed to brutal honesty & lets Jane know what he wants he’s all in 🥵🥰
I know we all look forward to the Easter eggs & tie-ins. I loved that Kate didn’t give Jane an easy start and that she truly enjoys busting her ass for what she wants! But y’all!! Big Bird made my eyes leak with his gift!
Euro Dreams is a lol, nsfw & heartwarming read that left me smiling and counting the days until the audiobook😉
🥰fave quotes📖
“Christ!” I jerk back as Jane lands with a thwack on the freezing concrete outside the sliding doors of the hotel. Gaping down at her, I freeze when I see her eyes closed, hands covering her chest, skirt hiked around her hips just as the bellboy bypasses me, freezing his footing a mere step in front of me as we both assess the state of Jane. Jane, who is lying on her back, one leg bent . . . fanny out. 😳😳😳😬🤣🫣🫠
I foolishly thought I’d met Lucian’s heathen before tonight, but he’s made it perfectly clear we’re being introduced now—and in the best imaginable way.——Paging Dr FeelGood🥵
From the start I wanted to devour Dom’s story but my heart wanted to savour it. So I took my time reading…since Kate gave us this gift it’s only right to not hurry through it.
Sean has always been my guy but getting to see this side of Dom made me feel his love & loyalty. Gah and my freaking heart broke for Sean again…but not because of Cee…his breaking “that night” was soul crushing.
Kate has once again written a story that will stay with me.
And the afterword!! Kate!! I had tears streaming down my face! Please share your “what if” indulgences anytime. We can all use a little light in our lives😘
💕fave quotes📖 I’ll be honest I highlighted a lot! But here you go…
This realization made me laugh out loud…
She’s trying to domesticate me! … I’ve been domesticated.
———-
“Dom, did you just sway your hips?” Busted. Though shrouded in the dark, I see her eyes bugging wide along with her smile. “O.M.G. Did you just dance a little with me?!” Sighing, I press my forehead to hers. “Cecelia?” “Yes?” She beams back at me. “When you call me out for this shit, it stops. Haven’t you figured that out by now?”
Ohmigosh ohmigosh Ohmigosh! Kate’s done it again. She’s played with my heart & made fall hard for Easton!! Definitely in my top 5 for 2022 or 2035😘
Stella, Reid, Nate & Addie all grew up & raised some pretty awesome fucking kids…who have all of their strengths & love with their entire being…reckless & naive or not their story is heartbreaking & beautiful.
I absolutely can not wait for this audiobook.
Fave quotes: Ummm the entire freaking book. Seriously it’s perfection. From the close bonds that East & Natalie gave with their parents to the whirlwind that brought them together this book is a non-stop ride of all the feels & wanting these kids to find their forever like their parents did.
