REVIEW

This is book 3 of the Blood Fire saga. To understand it, you must read books 1 & 2 first. Mera is growing stronger everyday. With that strength, she is also gaining new enemies. Not only is she still trying to save Valentine, but she is learning more and more about her parentage/family and some dirty secrets that have been kept hidden.

There is soooo much happening! Some parts were dragging on a bit, however, it was still very intriguing and you just have to know what happens next! The connection that Mera and Valentine have is pure love. He has her mind, body, and soul, and not even death can separate them. That's just beautiful!

Speak no Evil (The Society, book 3) by Ivy Fox.

Bʟᴜʀʙ: 

The time has come to make the real villains of this story suffer our wrath.

Heirs to the Richfield fortune, they have deluded themselves into thinking they are untouchable and beyond reproach. 

How wrong they are.

It’s time they pay for their brazen arrogance and learn that their family name cannot save them from our vicious retribution.

Their debt must be paid.

And we demand it be done in blood. 

Colt

I knew sooner or later the Society would knock on my door. 

It was only a question of time.

But like all things in my wretched life, they had to single me out and make their treacherous demands that more inconvenient for me. 

They want me to expose some unknown dark family secret.

I’m a f*cking Richfield—secrets are part of my damn birthright.

But that’s alright. I’ll play along.

They might think they hold all the cards in this twisted game of theirs, but little do they know, I’ve got an ace up my sleeve.

Dressed in pencil skirts, f*ck-me heels, and cat-frame glasses, Emma Harper is about to hand-deliver the Society to me on a silver platter.

They think they’re coming for me and mine?

Not going to happen.

I’m the one coming for them.

Emma

Colt Turner.

Egotistically vain.

Unapologetically arrogant.

Self-centered and morally bankrupt—all the traits I despise in a man.

Yet, for all his faults, he could be the key to solving the enigma that has baffled me for years.

The Society has eluded me for the last time, and surprisingly enough, Colt is the only one who can help me unmask them once and for all.

I’ve been waiting my entire life for this moment. I can’t turn back now.

No matter who gets hurt in the process.

Even if that person is me.

How do you break up with a Vampire King? You don’t.

Something is off about Valentine, and I don’t mean his missing heart.

He’s keeping me captive in a haunted house, complete with a ferocious beast to make sure I can never escape.

There’s a hunger stirring in him. It’s deep and dark and preternatural. He’s awakening something in me I must resist because if I fail, everything is lost.

REVIEW

🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

Captive of the Vampire is book 2 in the Blood Fire Saga. This one is a continuation of the last book. Mera is on a mission to save the Vampire King, Valentine. Here I thought the Valentine before was pretty smokin' hot, but preternatural Valentine is a very naughty king. There was so much action and twist and turns! We also learn more about her cat shifter and creepy stalker guy. These books seem to get better and better.

I crave him so badly I think I might be losing my mind. He's right in front of me, but he’s just as remote as my dreams of getting away from my stepbrothers. I keep playing his twisted games, and I want to stay just as distant as he is. But I can’t. I never could. I’ve fallen for him. Hopelessly. Irrevocably. But Winston isn’t a lover, he’s a business venture. A way for me to pay for college. A ticket out. He’s never pretended to be anything other than that. I can’t blame him for making me fall in love. There can be no happily ever after between a maid and a prince, no matter what the stories say.

 REVIEW

"I’m Ash Elliott. Anti-princess. Not-so-charming villain lover. The girl who also loves a challenge".

We continue where we left off from Stroke of Midnight. We also had amazing character development from both characters. The suspense, blackmail, the completely taboo, sexiness of this story...just 🥵. Loved this so much!


There was one scene where I was visualizing,

If you've see Fried Green tomatoes, then you know why. 

If you enjoyed Stroke of Midnight, you NEED to read this!!

Stroke of Midnight: A Cinderella Novel by K. Webster

 Blurb: 

Money can buy anything. And anyone. As the head of the Constantine family, I’m used to people bowing to my will. Cruel, rigid, unyielding—I’m all those things. When I discover the one woman who doesn’t wither under my gaze, but instead smiles right back at me, I’m intrigued.

Ash Elliott needs cash, and I make her trade in crudeness and degradation for it. I crave her tears, her moans. I pay for each one. And every time, she comes back for more. When she challenges me with an offer of her own, I have to decide if I’m willing to give her far more than cold hard cash.

But love can have deadly consequences when it comes from a Constantine. At the stroke of midnight, that choice may be lost for both of us.

REVIEW

"I’ve been left destroyed and threatened into submission. There’s not a happy ending to this story....It’s time for the princess to save the villain"

This was a very naughty version of the fairytale Cinderella. It is a part of the Midnight Dynasty world. This story does end in a cliffhanger.

Ash was a high school graduate, trying to earn enough money for college. Like the famous story, she has a stepmother, who is obsessed with status and not two, but three wicked stepbrothers. The "Terror Triplets" are constantly harassing and terrorize her and pet bird.
She worked at a cleaning company, that services high end companies. Leaving behind a candy wrapper, she managed to fall into the radar of the head of the Constantine "empire", Winston Constantine. Ever since he found that wrapper, he made it his mission to humiliate and degrade her. Ash ends up discovering something she never knew about herself, how much she was into it. He would pay her a large sum to do it too.

This is actually my first story by K. Webster. Definitely, made a fan out of me. The tension between them was 🥵. Ash was a strong, sassy character who took a lot of crap from her family and Winston. Although, with Winston, it was all apart of an agreement. Definitely, worth ever star!!

Someone burned my wings.

Tossed me down to earth.

And erased my memories.

I have no idea what I did to deserve this fate, but I do know that the only people standing beside me now are three handsome demons. Mark is sweet, and was never human, even before becoming a demon. Triston is the first demon gargoyle I’ve ever heard of. And Daniel? He’s dangerous, to me, and maybe even to himself.

Yet, there’s something between us I don’t understand.

They’ve sworn to protect me, but what if the enemies we face are more powerful than they could’ve ever imagined? And what if the only way we’ll ever be safe is to change both heaven and hell?

I might have been an angel, but I’m no angel now. And soon our enemies will realize that too.

SUPERNATURAL LIES is the first book in a steamy paranormal reverse harem romance. It has three sexy demons, druids, gargoyles, mages, and bad angels.

REVIEW

Surcy was an angel who was punished for loving three demons. She had her wings taken from her as well as her memories. Struggling to find out who she is, she is found by her three demon lovers. This story sort of gave me Supernatural's "Angels are D*cks" vibes and not to be trusted. 

I really enjoyed this. It was a quick and easy read. This is the first story I've read by Lacey Carter Anderson. If it wasn't for the other comments, I would have never known that this was a spin-off series of Her Demon Lover. Definitely, can't wait for the next one and I just added Her Demon Lover to my TBR list.

A dark, bully, Catholic boarding school romance

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 ihated 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.

Seek (Project Xol #1) by Amabel Daniels

 Blurb: 
Luke Dixon enters the fray, believing his neighbor is being attacked. Never one to ignore someone in distress, he’s then shocked to realize he’s the one needing rescue. Bound together through violence, Cassidy and Luke must come to trust each other as they embark on a search, armed only with the key and Rosa’s cryptic directions. It’s a journey with unexpected answers and decades-old research. A search with more questions…and a lethal enemy who returns when least expected. (less)

It’s been months since Cassidy Shaw has heard from her mother, Rosa, a world-renown scientist. When she does, it’s in the form of an urgent edict to retrieve a key. Arriving at Rosa’s apartment in Cincinnati, Cassidy encounters strangers. One man who seems determined to silence her. The other, could he be her savior?

REVIEW

It was normal for Cassidy's adopted mother, Rosa, to go MIA for a while. It wasn't until Cassidy received a suspicious letter when she started to worry. Upon checking out her mother's apartment, she discovers that there's something off about her disappearance. She was viciously attacked by a strange man and was rescued by Rosa's neighbor, Luke. Everything went downhill from there.
**Does end on a cliffhanger***
This was a pretty decent read. It was hard for me to stay focused at times but when I finally did, I couldn't stop. I absolutely loved the unlikely duo of Luke and Cassidy. Cassidy is an "ordinary" introverted, bookstore employee, who is an good girl. Luke is an ex-convict badass. It was a reeeeally slow burn. Although, I loved the attraction between them but it was a bit frustrating. I would love to continue on.

Her Dark Moon by Helen Scott

 

TW: assault, drugging, kidnapping, violence, MFM,  

Blurb: 

As a lone wolf, I avoid imprinting on a mate like my life depends on it. Because it does.

My brother gave his life to help me escape the pack. Now, after being in hiding for the last few years, I'm seeing shifters outside of their normal territory, and they're getting closer to my little patch of wolf-free paradise.

If they find out I'm still alive, they'll haul me back and mate me to some random wolf, keeping me as a breeding machine to perpetuate our species. Forced imprinting is supposed to be forbidden, but if I know my pack, that won't stop them from getting what they want.

With danger lurking around every corner and the chance of me being caught getting ever higher, I'm on the verge of descending into hopelessness. Until I meet Roman. But what if he's just the lure to chain me to a different pack?

As badly as I want to be free from the obligations of a pack, that freedom just might cost me the guy. But as it turns out, my feelings for Roman are only half my trouble...

If you love the mystery of JR Ward's The Black Dagger Brotherhood and the magic of Ilona Andrews' Hidden Legacy, then you'll love House of Wolves and Magic!

REVIEW

Where to start? Ok...first off, Happy Release Day! Although, it was yesterday...but congrats! 

Nina is a lone wolf and has been on the run for most of her life. She works and blends in with humans.  She's had a violent history with her former pack and trust never came easily. When she runs into a former pack member, who is now an alpha, he is willing to do anything in his power to forcefully make her his mate. To her surprise, she ends up bonding with another shifter (s) from another pack 

Another amazing start to this new series by Helen Scott. It was a bit slow beginning, however it was build up of Nina's and why she didn't trust anyone. Fantastic world building and character development. And the cliffhanger!  Can't wait to see what happens next.

Second Chances (Love on Set #1) by Alice Reed

Blurb:

For those who believe lightning can strike twice …

Girl-next-door turned party girl Emelia Young has spent the last five years cultivating an illustrious acting career in LA. But, when fate pulls her back to her hometown of Sydney, she finds the eyes of the world are on her, and this time for all the wrong reasons.

In the midst of a chaotic scandal, Emelia meets the eye of the last person she expected to see: her high school sweetheart, Liam Miller. When the whole world turns dark, Emelia finds light again in the boy she loved all those years ago.

But things have changed. No longer the heart-drawing sixteen-year-old Liam used to know, fame, money and notoriety have changed Emelia, leaving them both unsure of where they stand.

When chance leads them into close proximity, Emelia finds there’s something even more terrifying than having the whole world hate you: developing feelings for someone who she could actually fall for.

Hearts will be set racing in this fast paced second chance romance set on the sunny and romantic Bondi Beach. Do they have it in their hearts to take another shot at love?

REVIEW

 It was an eventful night for Emelia when a scandal hit. Not only that, she runs into her former high school sweetheart. He ended up saving her from that disastrous evening. Bounded by fate, they both land leading roles together. This story is facing hardships, rekindling flame, and finding true love.

This is Alice Reed's debut story. This turned out absolutely amazing! When I volunteered to read the first few chapters, I was hooked on Emelia and Liam's story. It was a quick and easy read.

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.

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.

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.

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.
