Cover Reveal: Sancte Diaboli Part 1 by Amos Jones


 Check out this EXQUISITE cover for SANCTE DIABOLI by Amos Jones coming February 9th!!! 


#PreorderNow

https://www.amazon.com/Sancte-Diaboli-Part-Elite-Kings-ebook/dp/B08N16TKCK/


Blurb:

The Devil comes with baggage, and not the kind you can lose. I was two years old when he saved me. I didn’t understand much at that age, but I remember the pale boy with hair as dark as ink, saving me from two evils. He said he would protect me; I just didn’t know he meant from himself. I was raised in the arms of evil, tailored for the Devil like a custom Armani suit, and every day he wore it like a weapon. Brantley thought by keeping me locked in his manor that it would protect me, and it did.

Until it didn’t.

As I slowly adapt to The Elite Kings Club and the dark, sinister world that exists around the outlaws in suits, I come to learn that the monster everyone fears is the very same one I crave.

Like a prized trophy, I sit on his throne…

Something quite pretty, an object he owns…

She’s a porcelain doll, so shiny, so clean…

Something I want to polish, but to never be seen…

The time has come, I am in his world…

Now his Dea, can be admired by all…

The thing with porcelain is it’s fragile and delicate…

It would only take a second for me to eradicate it…

The Curse of Time: A Time Travel Urban Fantasy (The Cursed Watches Book 1) by Andreea Pryde


 The Curse of Time: A Time Travel Urban Fantasy (The Cursed Watches Book 1) by @andreea_pryde 


Blurb:

Everyone knows the legend, but very few know it all. Of how the Watch came to be, and with it a fearsome Curse.


Forged by love and desire. Cursed by jealousy and a broken heart. Sealed to prevent a tragedy.


Thousands of years later, someone tries to break the seals without caring about dangers, consequences, or whose body must be stepped on to achieve their objectives.


☆Greek mythology,

☆cursed artefacts

☆a time barrier shattering connection

☆a sassy, talking kitten

☆ a Victorian Lord with an agenda

☆and more...


Scarlett Aubyn is at a point in her life where everything seems pointless. A broken relationship, money struggles, and a new job at the Occultism, Witchcraft, and Magical Artefacts History Museum. A fancy name for a place full of lies and charades, by her words. After all, she never believed in any of that sort. But for how long? How long can she do it when proofs lie under the tips of her fingers?


Among other things, Scarlett discovers a connection which defies and overcomes Time itself, between her and a young woman from the 19th century named Leah. With her consent, Scarlett is able to take over her body, and together unearth lies, deceit, and foolish ambitions which could ultimately destroy the future.


But what can a modern-day woman do, when her heart is about to be stolen by the past’s mysterious charm?

REVIEW


Scarlett was living a dull and boring life. She was in a loveless relationship with a douchecanue boyfriend, who was only about himself and his needs. The only thing keeping her sane was work. She worked in a mystical museum full of occult and witchcraft artifacts. She started hearing voices and discovers that she has a secret power within


This was a pretty cute read. Not one I'd usually go for, however, I am glad I didn't pass this one up. Normally, Time Travel stories are difficult for me and I am easily lost with the time jumps. This is a pretty quick and very easy to read to follow.

The Black Widow Academy by Dahlia Briar


 TW: assault, attempted sexual assault, kidnapping, Violence, bullying

What doesn't break me will make me stronger.


My name is Zhavia and I used to be a rookie cop. A twist of fate has me declared dead and I'm now a freshman at the world's deadliest criminal academy, The Black Widows.

I can't go back. I can't stay here.

Bullies try to trample me, my classes are more dangerous than my assassination missions and worst of all, I don't think they're all human here. The odds are stacked against me and not even my one friend thinks I will survive the semester.

I found a twisted sense of comfort in the men assigned to train me, but can I trust they'll put me back together once they've broken me? Emrys, Cassian, Morgan. Three handsome high ranked assassins, loyal to the Academy. Will they just be my tormentors or my saviors?

This is the complete series collection, all three novels are now under one umbrella, a dark romance where the heroine does not have to choose between love interests. It is intended for mature audiences.

REVIEW


 Zhavia was a rookie cop. She had recently lost her husband and was just existing in the the world. She met someone who completely rocked her world but this mysterious stranger had a lot of secrets of his own. Zhavia ended up at an Academy where they master the art of seduction and assassination. There  also are punished with by the Masters for any wrongdoing. To make matters worse, the other "little spiders" are encouraged to be violent.

This was a fantastic series! I didn't know what to expect, but ended up losing a lot of sleep reading this. I loved the journey of our FMC, She started off not knowing where she belongs to take no crap from anyone. She's sassy, tough, a bit broken broken but a survivor and her guys are a bit broken as well. These are definitely not your normal academy books, pretty dark at times but really had me wanting more.  

Note: this may contain some themes and triggers that may not be suitable for everyone. Please take that under advisement.

Blurb: 

Ruled by tyrants. Hunted by demons. She’s ready to fight back.

But as her training begins, Halira soon discovers a secret about the forgotten magic that once thrived throughout the lands, one that could threaten her very survival.

REVIEW

Shadow Crusade is the first book in the Primordials of Shadowthorn series. Halira never wanted to join the Shadow Crusade until she lost her parents to demons. Now, she trains to protect and discovers a power within.

What an amazing start to this new series. This is the second series I've read by Jessaca, I have been blown away with the world building. I can't wait to read more of this series.

Wolf's Bane by Nancey Cummings Review


 #ARC #NextRead 

Wolf's Bane by Nancey Cummings

A human colony lost in space.

A century ago, colonists crashed on a distant planet. Technology failed and strange energies caused catastrophic mutations. Now every generation slips away from science, into superstition and darkness.

Solenne survives among the broken relics of the past, trying to protect her family from the mutated beasts that wax and wane with the moon. When her father is seriously injured, she turns to the one man she swore never to speak to again. The man who kissed her, vowed he’d return and broke her heart.

Can this be their second chance?

A man lost to the beast.

Since being bitten and cursed to shift into a werewolf every full moon, Aleksandar has lived in exile.

Until he receives a letter from Solenne, the woman he promised his heart to years ago. She’s the only thread that keeps him anchored in the chaos, the only memory that keeps him sane.

He must protect her from creatures that stalk her family, but how can he protect her from himself?

The monster within him won’t be denied.

The beast will have his bride.

Review


A century ago, settlers landed on a planet and when technology failed and something caused genetic mutations. Every full moon, they would change into werewolves. Solenne came from a family of hunters of these werewolves. When her father was attacked, she has no choice but to contact an old childhood friend, Aleksander. However, Aleksander has a secret. He's a beast, himself


Loved this so much! This was my first story by Nancey Cummings. It was so unique and totally loved Aleksander and Solenne's story. What really got me was Nancey found a way to add Sci Fi, PNR, and historical romance into one story.

𝙊𝙉𝙀 𝙈𝙊𝙉𝙏𝙃 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙗𝙤𝙮𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨!!

The Boys of St. Augustine are wicked and they are sinful. How far are you willing to go?

✞ Blurb ✞
It started when I stole a secret I was never meant to keep.
Then, “I dare you,” was whispered in the dark of night.
Three simple words that changed everything.
I became the one thing that Rhys Blackwood hated more than he hated himself.
St. Augustine’s very own fallen angel had me in his hold and he wasn’t giving up until I was ruined.
I was a snitch. A liar. A pawn.
He was cruel. Merciless. The King.
Together, we were fated for destruction.
And where there are secrets and untruths… there are demons lurking beyond the shadows.

Welcome to Hawthorne Asylum.

Welcome to hell. 

This place isn’t run by the doctors who make you talk or the orderlies who force you to swallow your pills. 

It belongs to them, to the Infamous Four. 

Tabloids, talk shows, documentaries—their faces have been plastered everywhere. Not because of their impressive rap sheets, but because of how they look. 

And when I arrive, they take notice. Especially their king: Lincoln “Laces” Caster. 

He’s dark and disturbed. 

He’s controlling and possessive.

Exactly the kind of boy I should stay away from if I want to clear my name and get out of here. 

* This is an upper-YA bully/dark romance not intended for readers under seventeen. This book may contain triggers for some readers.

Baby Girl: A New Adult Dark Bully Romance Mystery Thriller (Baby Girl Series Book 1) by Rachel Angel


 Baby Girl: A New Adult Dark Bully Romance Mystery Thriller (Baby Girl Series Book 1) by Rachel Angel

#ARC #NextRead

Blurb: I thought he was just a figment of my imagination. The tall, dark, and handsome man who kept watch over me in the most beautiful garden I've ever dreamed of.

It wasn't just a garden, though, but a playground where he would teach me how to use my body and how to hone my body into a secret and human weapon. He said it would come in handy one day, and that I must master the art.

This man, who always wore a mask, said that learning the art of combat and defense would save my life. I just didn't know that it would require taking a life of someone I know.


He called me Baby Girl, and after all these years, I still quiver when I hear his name. My teacher, my lover. The ultimate bully. Now my Enemy.


**The Baby Girl Series is a Dark New Adult Bully Romance with a TV-MA rating suited for 17 and up.

REVIEW


3.75/5⭐

Calla has no memory of her past. When a handsome stranger, with a mask rescues her. They fell for each other and he takes her under his wing as a protege. A few years later, she is a trained assassin. She takes out some of the dangeous scum who are harming innocents. She realizes she has some competition, that kept stealing her assignments. There are some secrets to be uncovered.

I have mixed feelings about this one. First, this was a great introduction to Calla's and Gabriel's story. It did seem more like prequel and it was a quick and easy to read, there was not much of a plot. However,  It did have some action movie vibes and it was entertaining. Not to mention that twist at the end. I wasn't expecting that.  I also did have some difficulty connecting with the characters. There were really no growth to them. It series has a lot of  potential.

Blurb: 

Some call me Madam, others call me The Devil's Spawn, but you can call me Lady Jackie.

Being Gentleman’s Jack’s daughter has always made my life hard. So when he goes missing, I’m perfectly fine with letting him stay that way.

That changes when the Oliberos Coven appears on the doorstep of the brothel I now claim as mine. Beating down lowlifes looking for "Gentleman Jack" was one thing, but having the most dangerous vampire breathing down my neck is another.

Now if I want my five new stalkers out of my life, I have no choice but to find Daddy Dearest. But I don’t anticipate the new threats that lurk on Bourbon street or the way they force me to have to work with the Oliberos Coven.

And I certainly don't anticipate the dangerous attraction that ensues...

This is the first book in a dark, medium burn reverse harem series which will feature m/f, m/m, f/f, and everything in between. If you don't like chaotic, brothel owning vampire heroines with daddy issues this book may not be for you.

Review

If you are into:

* Vampires
*Badass POC FMC Madam
*RH, M/M, F/F, everything
*Supernatural Mafia/Gangs.
* MIA vampire pimp.
*Enemies To Lovers.
*Dark Romance.
*Blood/gore
*Steamy AF

Then this is the perfect book for you.

When Jackie's dad goes MIA, she is left in charge of running his brothel. What she didn't expect was to find out he has secret debts that need to be paid. She gets an unexpected visit from Bourbon Streets own, Oliberos Coven, who basically run the streets. Not only does she have them after her, she has to deal with unexpected attempts on her life from someone else. 


This is my first story by Quirah Casey and she totally knocked it out of the park. Naturally, I'm a bit hesitant about settings being so close to home, but this was definitely a hit. I easily visualized everything (and low-key tried to guess the districts lol). She took Bourbon Street and made it her all own.  Amazing job! This had the same feel as True Blood meets Domino & Harlots. I seriously enjoyed every minute of it and can't wait to see what happens next.
