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❤❤❤

Rene seems to always blow me away every time I pick up her books. Can't wait for the next book!!

*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!!

Blurb:

Tick tock…it’s time for judgment.

The blood we spilled came after the riddles.

Betrayal followed by those we trusted.

There are so many things we could have done differently, saving ourselves from future heartache.

Now, it’s too late to recast the die.

By everything tainted and maleficent, we’re forever bonded.

Every tragedy has an origin.

This is where ours begins.

**Judicium's timeline is set before the events of Periculum and fills in some of the back story of the series. While considered a prequel, it should be read after Maleficium.**

💛💛💛REVIEW💛💛💛

Judicium is the third book in the Devil's Playground series. Although it IS the third book in the series, this one serves as a prequel or origin story. This is how Liliana and Ciaran knew each other before the events that took place during book 1 and book 2.

I get so excited when Natalie comes out with a new book. Not only does this ties up any questions about Liliana and Ciaran's relationship, but it's a complete and utter mindf*ck and twisted how these two families really are. Natalie ALWAYS seems feed my dark heart with intense fabulous world building, undeniable chemistry, obsession, betrayal, utter debauchery and mayhem. Definitely worth the hype!!! I definitely recommend this entire series and can't wait for Book 4, Daemonium

Blurb:

Everything about me is a sham.

I’ve been living with my own lies for so long, I don’t even know who I am. This role I’ve been playing is becoming boring and the man I’m turning into feels like a stranger.

With each deception I dole out, another five are needed to keep the truth hidden, and it’s all teetering on a weak foundation.

My life is like a house of cards, and the wind blows pretty strong here in Whitsborough, constantly threatening to scatter my fragile façade.

With the sudden appearance of someone from my family’s past, everything comes into focus, and I’m tempted to exhale the breath I’ve been holding in my chest.

Just to watch those cards land where they may.

⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

Gabriel's Deception is the final book in the Whitsborough Progenies . I hate to admit, This is my first book from the Whitsborough Chronicles. It was seriously easy to follow. Although, it is a standalone, WORD OF WARNING: there's a quick rundown of the previous books. So, it's best to read all of the previous books first. However, if you're like me and really don't mind spoilers, it won't ruin this intense ride. It actually makes me really want to go back to where it all started. The instant connection that Danny and Gabe had was literally everything. Of course, there's bitter secrets and dark history between the two (and in the small town in general) , but that makes it even more exhilarating and delicious. As always, I am NEVER disappointed by C.A. Rene's writing. I was hooked by the suspense, emotional, full of twists and turns, full of hot MM, age gap action and it literally had me at the edge of my seat. I seriously need to find the time to go back to the very beginning. This is sooooo good!!

USA Today bestselling author RC Boldt delivers a seductively unique romantic suspense with a paranormal twist in Beyond My Darkness...

Twelve years ago, I fled, vowing to never again use my power. But everything changes when I break that vow and bring two bodies back to life in the morgue.

It sends me spinning directly into his orbit.

Arrogant. Menacing. Enigmatic. That’s Bronson Cortez, the notoriously violent gang leader who remains elusive to authorities.

He breaks the law at every turn and answers to no one. But when he offers me an alluring glimpse of what lies beneath that iron-clad exterior, I realize there’s more to him than meets the eye.

The man who fiercely guards his heart somehow manages to claim mine.

But he doesn’t know the truth about me.

I wonder if he could be the first to accept me for who I am—what I am.

I wonder if he’ll be the first to see beyond my darkness.

❤❤❤REVIEW❤❤❤

Beyond My Darkness was actually my very first book by R.C. Boldt. I am normally a creature of habit, and really hesitant with "new-to-me" authors. Something was telling me that it's okay to try something new. I followed my gut and it was absolutely right.. I was blown away by the story telling. It was beautifully written. The fact it had some paranormal elements, made this story soooo much better. Bronson and Georgia were literally everything. From their banter and Georgia testing him, to the steam. This was absolutely incredible. I can't wait to read another book by R.C. Boldt!

**Arrows and Apologies is a dark, contemporary romance inspired by the Apollo and Daphne myth. It is NOT fantasy or a retelling.**

🧡🧡🧡REVIEW🧡🧡🧡

Arrows and Apologies is the 4th book in the Monsters and Muses series. This is  an interconnected series that can be read as a standalone. A&A is loosely based on Apollo and Daphne's mythological story. THIS IS NOT A RETELLING.

As if I think the stories in this series couldn’t get any better, Sav goes "hold my beer" and bam! Another steamy, story with a lot of twists and turns, and hot chemistry filled creation is made. She has done it again! As a huge mythology geek, I love the fact that she incorporates the original myth (or tragedy) and completely makes it her own. I looooved Cora and Alistair. They may have clashed heads and the sexual tension was even better! Wheeeew! Alistair has became my favorite of all of Sav's guys (so far). I didn't think that it would be possible (all of her guys are drool worthy). Definitely looking forward to whatever Sav thinks of next.

And while our story started as a fake engagement, it turned into the most real thing I’d ever experienced.

Until everything changed in the blink of an eye, and now I have to choose between my head and my heart.

The Final Score is book #4 in the "Totally Pucked" series AND the conclusion to Graham and Emery's duet. THIS CANNOT BE READ AS A STANDALONE. OMG!! They are literally my favorite couple!! This was the most emotionally gripping, realistic, super steamy, and all around heart warming book in this entire series. I swear, I love Graham so much. One moment, he's prince charming and has you swooning over him, the next moment, he makes your panties melt with all of the dirty talk that makes you see stars. I had to take pauses because I was 🥵. I'm so glad they overcame their obstacles and finally reached their HEA. Can't wait for Archer's story next!!!

Hate is said to be disturbingly similar to love.

When it comes to him, I’m cursed to harbor both.

Shadows and darkness have filled the bittersweet years that saw us take two very different paths.

Judas Barron has become an intimate stranger.

He’s older now. Unpredictable. Heartlessly cruel.

So much more beautiful.

He isn’t the only one who changed.

The girl he once knew is gone, rotting beneath the wreckage of what he destroyed.

His influence and power have spread like the plague. With his position solidified he’s decided to make good on a promise he made and like the strike of a match, a hellish blaze consumes us once again.

I can reign beside him, or make sure his dynasty is scattered among the ashes of our ruin.

Vicious Dynasty is the third and final book in the Reign & Ruin trilogy. I'm not going to lie, I was totally simping over Judas (even more) in this one. Of course there was the mürder, tørture, and everything my dark heart craves but his realization that he NEEDED her and was willing to unalive those who DARED to harm her...just ahhhh! I have said this before and I'll say this again, these two are extremely toxic. However, you can't help but to ship it! Even though, this is the ending of this trilogy and Juda and Rhia's story, I'm excited that there's gonna be more from this universe.

She was the face that launched a thousand ships, the fierce beauty at the heart of Olympus...and she was never ours to claim.

*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Helen of Troy, Achilles, and Patroclus that's as sinful as it is sweet.*

In Olympus, you either have the power to rule...or you are ruled. Achilles Kallis may have been born with nothing, but as a child he vowed he would claw his way into the poisonous city's inner circle. Now that a coveted role has opened to anyone with the strength to claim it, he and his partner, Patroclus Fotos, plan to compete and double their odds of winning.

Neither expect infamous beauty Helen Kasios to be part of the prize...or for the complicated fire that burns the moment she looks their way.

Zeus may have decided Helen is his to give to away, but she has her own plans. She enters into the competition as a middle finger to the meddling Thirteen rulers, effectively vying for her own hand in marriage. Unfortunately, there are those who would rather see her dead than lead the city. The only people she can trust are the ones she can't keep her hands off—Achilles and Patroclus. But can she really believe they have her best interests at heart when every stolen kiss is a battlefield?

The only Katee Roberts book I've read was "A Worthy Opponent" and that was on the "Chapters Interactive Stories" App and I totally adored the condensed version. Actually, reading her book was literally on a whole new level. Fantastic world-building and wonderful character development. Let me tell you, there were some HOT, FIERY steam and tension that was completely undeniable. DEFINITELY going to TBR the whole series and check out her complete library.

❤❤❤REVIEW❤❤❤

Revenge. Sweet, sweet revenge. They say karma comes back to those who have done wrong and my goodness, that karma's name is Aurora. She was a woman on a mission and I swear, I had no clue what to expect from this story. I devoured this entire book in one day. Rector, Bishop and Deacon have NO idea who the hell they messed with. I am soooo waiting for book 2!!

The 12 Hunks of Herculeia: A Monstrously Mythic Romance Part 1 by C. Rochelle

 The 12 Hunks of Herculeia: A Monstrously Mythic Romance Part 1 by C. Rochelle 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09PH4VRTQ

Blurb: 

I thought I was living the dream—until the fateful day I found my boyfriend in bed with my boss. As a professional copywriter, it was the tired cliche that hurt me the most.

What’s a big city girl to do but pack my bags and go solo on that Grecian cruise I’d booked with my ex? Who needs a man when you have tropical breezes, stunning vistas, and free cocktails with frilly umbrellas?

But thanks to a freak storm, I find myself washed ashore on a mysterious Greek Isle inhabited by 12 hotties determined to help me in any way they can.

What in the rom-com setup is this?

Somehow, I’ve ended up inside a famous Greek myth, tasked with conquering the very men I find myself unable to resist—despite their fur, fangs, tentacles, extra appendages, and extremely large…secrets of their own.

Danger lurks around every crumbling ancient ruin, but the longer I stay, the more I wonder if I want to return to my old life at all.

Here, I get to be the heroine of my own story, and it might just be time to rewrite history.

—

Please note: This is book 1 in a duet and is slow-build (I should hope so, for our girl’s sake… and her cat’s…)

The 12 Hunks of Herculeia is a medium-dark rom-com loosely based on the 12 Labors of Heracles, with many ridiculous liberties taken. And before my fellow history nerds get their togas in a bunch, I am aware that Hercules/Herculeia is the Roman spelling (it gets addressed in the book, trust.)

This book is meant for readers 18 and over.

This series includes:

MM (loads of it - with their own relationship arcs)

Multiple POV

Cliffies

Possible triggers:

Sweary dialogue

Naughty irreverent humor

An overly possessive, slightly unhinged group of men

Very spicy extracurricular activities (please see inside book for more details)

Light threat of violence with a knife

Trauma related to past death in the family, a bad breakup, and a magical shipwreck

Signature weirdness and medium-dark elements

Greek myths with many ridiculous liberties taken

In general, please do not read this if you own pearls to clutch, or if you regularly ask to speak to the manager, as you and I will probably not get along.

First of all, everytime I think C. Rochelle's books can't get any better, they so do!!! I don't know why this shocks me, she is a fantastic author. This is part 1 in the Monstrously Mythic duet. It is also loosely based on the Greek mytho, 12 Labors of Hercules but C. Rochelle COMPLETELY made it her own. I swear this was such a fun, steamy, comedic ride. I swear, the world building was phenomenal! Soooo, soooo good. Can't wait for Part 2!!

Blurb: 

I work in the darkness that is Black Creek.

If there’s a secret to uncover, a package to deliver, or a story to be told, I’m your girl. I'll do whatever it takes to provide for my little brother.

Once upon a time, The Feral Beasts ruled Black Creek with an iron fist, but they’re long gone now. The Antonelli family stepped in, only caring about their family and their money.

I’ve heard the whispers…The Reaper Rejects are growing and they want control of Black Creek. But this town isn’t big enough for the both of them.

It's just been me and Luc for a long time, so when the leaders of the Rejects ask for my help, I'm reluctant. Trouble follows gang life and I shouldn’t want to get involved, but Oliver knows just how to tempt me and the pain in Cain’s eyes calls to my need for vengeance.

Blood will be shed, lives will be lost, retribution will be dealt.

A war is coming and this town has never been more deadly.

***This book is a dark, contemporary romance with one strong FMC and multiple love interests. It is book one 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 ❤❤❤

I have to admit, I'm just joining in on this spin-off of the Pacific Prep series (I know, I need to catch up). But OMFG, this literally started off with a bang. It was real easy to follow and the world building and character development is incredible. Sawyer is such a bad@ss! She is feisty, smart, and definitely someone that I would never want to meet in a dark alley. However, she does have a sense of maternal instinct when it comes to her brother. She tries to keep him from going down the road she's at. I literally couldn't put this down! OMG! That cliffy!!! Definitely, need more!!

❤❤❤REVIEW❤❤❤

"They shall know me by the name that I adopt! By which I swear to combat evil in all it's vile forms...A name born of the black rage that fills my heart..."

Black Beth: Vengeance Be Thy Name is my very first graphic novel that I have ever reviewed. This is my first time learning about the Black Beth comic lore. I know she made an appearance in "1988 Scream! Holiday Special, but that's pretty much it   She is such a bad@ss. Think if Lady Sif, Elektra, Red Sonja, and Xena were combined, you would get Black Beth. Personally, this was a little fast paced and felt rushed for me. I would have loved to see her train and learn more instead of instantly gaining the strength and warrior knowledge. However, It was beautifully designed/drawn and her story was incredible.  Overall, it was a fun, quick graphic novel and easy to follow. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy strong bad@ss FMCs, swords, and sorcery!
