Cyril, Isaac, Ashe, Ezra, and Arlo call themselves the Lost Boys, and they’re just one branch of a ‘family’ that rules everything in the city I grew up in. They’re the bad guys, in every sense of the word, and they don’t care who knows it.

Worse? They want to show me all of their sharp, bloody edges.

After a vacation gone wrong, the Lost Boys tell me that they’re the only reason I made it out alive. That even though I didn’t know it at the time, they saved me. It doesn’t matter that I didn’t see them do it. It doesn’t matter that I doubt these monsters are capable of anything other than taking a life.

Because their word is law, and now that they’ve saved me?

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐞.

But I’m not a pushover, and I don’t need a knife to prove to them I won’t be made theirs so easily.

💛💛💛REVIEW💛💛💛

Owned by the Lost boys is a dark romance, RH, Peter pan inspired standalone.

I'd like to start out by saying, I did like this book. Everything flowed smoothly, it was fun, action packed, spice was fantastic, full of sword-crossing, mask play, crazy stalker, unhinged guys, plus trigger warnings, which are things I REEEALLY enjoy reading. This has been on my TBR for a while. Although, it was different from what I thought, It was still good.

Narration: I did like their voices. At times, it was a bit difficult to distinguish between the different male characters but eventually caught up. I did also picture an actor from a show I watch and giggled a bit at the "s3xy fun" scenes, especially while he was dirty talking and pr@ising. 

There were a few things that I personally would have loved to see more of.

Story: With being an RH and having five different guys in the picture, I hoped to get different POVs and an in depth look into their minds. Yes, They did tell us why they are, the way they are and some other "outside evidence " but it would have been more of an eye opener.  

Annnd Ari...

Ari did also kinda fall a little flat for me. I was a bit confused on why they were so obsessed with her. She didn’t have much of a development until the very end. I also got second hand embarrassment at times. On the flip side, I also felt that she was also kinda relatable at times too. I did eventually start to like her but I kinda hoped for more independent growth.

Overall, even with my personal opinions and mixed feelings, I really did still enjoy this book. It's one that I would read again. I kept flip flopping between a 3.5 & 4, but ended up deciding on a 4⭐

Blurb:

Call girls aren’t meant for relationships, and my stalker is all too eager to teach me a lesson about staying in my place.

They’ve taken my brother, and they won’t stop until I’m stripped of everything I’d finally started to believe I could have—my guys, my career, and a new life.

The deeper I dig into the shadows of the tr@fficking ring, the closer to home I get. I never wanted to go back to that hell hole, but for Thomas… Well, I’d face the devil himself to get my brother back.

I’m the one in charge this time, and we’re racing against the clock to save not only Thomas, but the future we’d hoped to build.

Will we find out who my stalker is before the clock runs out, or will that f*cker bring us all to our knees?

❤❤❤REVIEW❤❤❤

Their Domme is the third and final book in the Queen of Hearts series. This cannot be read as a standalone, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY STARTED, YOU NEED TO START THIS SERIES, LIKE RIGHT NOW!!! I've been hooked from the very beginning, to the very end. Guys, please be advised, there are many triggers in this series. And there is also a non-binary, gender fluid character. It is soooo awesome that Suki included this. If I can rate this story more than 5 stars, I so would!

 Me knowing Nicholette and her guy's story is over= 😭😭😭💔😍😍😍. While I'm sad to let them go, I am so happy they finally found their HEA and ended perfectly! Definitely worth another re-read soon!

Blurb: 

The Varga Princess. Daddy’s little girl.

Being the only daughter of a motorcycle club’s president means I’m untouchable.

Add an older brother to that equation, and now you’ve got an impenetrable vault.

No one can get to me.

The Varga name has given me armor along with an invincibility complex.

Until it’s all shattered.

I’m faced with an impossible situation, and no matter how it ends, there will be casualties.

I’ve been dodging threats my whole life,

but what no one prepared me for was the threat of my own family.

Betrayal burns deep when it comes from inside the safety of your own home.

Too many lines have been crossed, and forgiveness isn’t an option.

It’s an all-out war, and I’m on the front lines.

I am the Dragon Slayer.

❤❤❤REVIEW❤❤❤

And now we need your help.

Where would you guys want us to take you next?

We love to live stream our sleep overs,

and share with you as much of the experience as we can.

*The Phantom Chasers series is intended for readers 18 years or older. Contains dark themes, sexual situations, hauntings, possessions, and other triggering situations. Please be advised to read the content warning found in the front of the book. *

🖤🖤🖤Review🖤🖤🖤

Bedlams Playground is the first book in the The Phantom Chasers series. It's also a whychoose, dark(er) retelling of "The Cask of Amontillado " by Edgar Allen Poe. As a huge Poe fan, I highly approve of this. 

Mary, Conner, and brothers, James and Nick...also known as The Phantom Chasers. They earn their money as paranormal investigators and live stream their explorations on their channel. They end up exploring one of the most haunted Asylum, "former" Home of the serial k!ller, Conroy Davies. Now it's a fight to make it out there alive.

Okay, I literally had chills after reading this. Not because it was horrifyingly, monster scary, but the psychological creep factor was definitely off on the charts. Please note, there are some triggers and dark themes. So please be advised. This novella is a quick, steamy, kind of "sit by a campfire and tell spooky story" vibes. Just in time for the Spooky Season

Blurb:

Xander

Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you, it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn.

Especially if you’re a supervillain like me.

 

The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine.

 

This himbo is ruining my research, and if his firepower doesn’t kill me, the sight of him in Lycra surely will. Luckily—or unluckily, in my opinion—my bestie just signed me up for the Bangers dating app and found my perfect match.

 If this isn’t the start of my villain arc, I don’t know what is.

 

Butch

It’s hard feeling like I have to wear a mask every day—that the only value I bring to the table is the sparkling image others have created for me.

 Such is the life of being Captain Masculine, Big City’s greatest superhero. This is the existence I was destined for, and I will gladly defend this city against every threat to its people.

 Except Doctor Antihero.

 I’ve seen countless villains come and go, but something about Antihero intrigues me more than the usual hero-villain encounters should.

 It’s because of him that I impulsively signed up for a dating app, hoping a meaningless fling with a local normie will help get my head back in the game. The truth is, what I really want is someone who sees me—the man behind the mask.

But that’s a luxury no superhero can afford.

REVIEW: Damaged & Deadly: Black Creek 3 by R.A. Smyth

Damaged & Deadly: Black Creek 3 by R.A. Smyth 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B1QL53GV

Blurb: 

Blood will be shed.

Lives will be lost.

Lines will be crossed.

I married the very man I’m supposed to hate.

I still can’t believe it, but when I saw Luc, beaten and bloody in that church, I knew there was no way out.

I had to marry him.

That doesn’t mean everything the Rejects and I have worked toward has been for nothing. If anything, it matters more now than ever. Once again, the Antonellis have incurred my wrath. They’ve stolen my brother and I will do whatever it takes to rescue him from their clutches.

The problem is, in order to achieve such a task, we all need to work together. All five of us. Me, Cain, Oliver, Dante, and Enzo. How the hell am I meant to get two groups of men on opposing sides to even be in the same room together, let alone work side-by-side? To trust one another?

It’s a tall order, but like I said, I will do whatever it takes to get my brother back, even if it means putting my faith in my so-called enemies and crossing territorial lines that were never meant to be crossed.

My brother is my life, the soul reason for my existence. I will get him back, and I'll murder anyone who gets in my way.

******This book is a dark, contemporary romance with one strong FMC and multiple love interests. It is book three in a series and contains trigger warnings for violence scenes and mature, graphic content. Please see the front of the book for more specific triggers.

❤❤❤Review ❤❤❤

Damaged & Deadly is the third book in the Black Creek series. It cannot be read as a standalone. THIS SERIES IS SOOOOO GOOD!! Probably one of my favorite series of the year. Sawyer is still one of my favorite FMCs. She's a perfect blend of ruthless HBIC and compassionate and caring. R.A Smyth keeps me on the edge of my seat with her Black Creek series. I can't wait to continue with the final book!!
