The Death Club: A Dark Romance (Dead Men Walking Book 1) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti


 The Death Club: A Dark Romance (Dead Men Walking Book 1) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti


#AvailableNow #NewRelease


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VS1GD5D/

Blurb: 

Chaos. Carnage. Killing.

The three Cs that make my life complete.

 

I know killing technically doesn’t start with a C – but wouldn’t life be better if it did? Just like it would be better if the Devil was my boyfriend, Santa wasn’t a d*ck and I didn’t live under a bridge.

 

I wished for my life to improve, but it didn’t. I was kidnapped, sold, sold again, stuck in a death game, sold AGAIN and now I’m living in a serial killer’s basement.

 

Oh and there’s another dude down here who lives in a cage and doesn’t talk. I call him Dead Man on account of his soulless eyes. He either wants to kiss me or kill me. I can’t decide which I want most.

 

Anyways, my hot, tattooed, muscular insane Irish captor thinks I might make a good hit woman once he trains me up. Which is a freaking insult by the way as I’m already the best killer in town. Ask anyone. Except the cops. Don’t ask them or they’ll send me back to that creepy asylum where they gave me the crazy pills. But shh, that’s a secret.

 

Want to know another one? I quite like it here. Every day is anarchy and that’s my favourite flavour.

 

So I think I’m gonna join The Death Club and let my freak flag fly.


This is a brand new dark romance series set in the same world as the Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep series with character crossover. Each series can be read independent of each other.

"Death wasn’t my enemy. It liked to run circles around me, test my limits, see what I’d do to avoid it. But if today was the day I didn’t escape it, then was that really the worst thing in the world?"


Holy crap! I am at a loss for words! I really cannot express how much I enjoyed this.


Just imagine if Harley Quinn and Mallory Knox were morphed into one person, then you would get our batshit crazy FMC, Brooklyn. She had such a messed up childhood, from her mom abandoning her to her father dying, being neglected led to even more tragic events. She eventually snapped and exacted her revenge and ended up known as the Bully Butcher. She was kidnapped and sold to the highest bidder. She would not go down without a fight.


Niall, who is apart of Irish mafia, sees something special in Brooklyn and wanted to train her. His demons play very nice with Brooklyn's demons and he met his match. This whole time I totally got Conner McManus, Boondock Saints vibes.


Mateo, aka Beastie, ex-Mexican cartel fixer who has his own demons. For months, he was captured, caged, and tortured for information and still nothing. This is my boy right here πŸ₯΅. He's mysterious and broody, yet fiercely protective and possessive. But, when Brooklyn breaks down his walls, he is adorable when she finally gets him to open up. I love him!


It's one of those books where if I could give more than 5, I totally would. This is actually my first story by Caroline and Susanne. I didn't realize that this was also a spin-off of the Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep series. I have those on my TBR that I seriously need to get to (although, it's not necessary to understand this series) ahh, I seriously can't wait until the next one!

DEVIL YOU HATE


They call me "The Devil." 

Deranged and violent. 

Gorgeous but frightening. 


The night before her arranged marriage I kidnap her.  


As the last remaining daughter to the Ricci Family I know her father will do anything to keep his hold over the five families which means he'll do anything to keep her safe.


Beautiful, fragile and innocent, destroying her will push her father over the edge.


Taking her was revenge, plain and simple. Spilled blood for spilled blood. 


Most wouldn't dare cross another mob family, but I'm scared of no one. 


I figure the mafia princess will be easy to break, but I'm wrong. 


The light in her tempts the darkness inside of me. Teases it, tortures it. 


Every day I find myself wanting to hurt her, break her, keep her. 


Lucky for Celia, she fails to see that there is no escaping what I have planned and when she attempts to draw me in with her innocence, and sweet naive heart I thrive to show her what true darkness is.



DEVIL YOU KNOW


Niccolò is so much more than The Devil. 

The night of the auction changes everything. 

I thought I knew who he was, and what was going to happen next. 

I had no idea how wrong I was…

COVER REVEAL: Ruthless Saint by S. Massery

 ***I'm a little behind in entries, please bear with me***



RUTHLESS SAINT (Desantis Mafia #1) by S. Massery

Release Date: May 18th

Preorder is available: 

http://mybook.to/desantis1



Blurb:

He wasn’t the one I was supposed to marry.


He’s cold.

Brutal.

Calculating.


To his family, I’m a strategic move in their war.

To mine, an alliance offers protection against our enemies.


Still, there’s something about him that calls to me.

A dark edge threatens to revive me. His gaze steals my breath.

Even if my heart thinks this could work, my brain knows better.


We say “I do” with his brother’s blood on our clothes, 

and the bars of my gilded cage slam closed.


Our wedding vows are forever – ’til death do us part.

But with enemies closing in from all sides, death might be closer than we think.


Trigger Warning: This story does contain a sexual assault scene. 



Prologue:

Amelie

Today started with a wedding. 

Mine, to be exact. I had the perfect dress, a lace veil that covered my face, something

borrowed, and something blue. Pearls strangled my neck.

I didn’t picture my life like this.

And I know what you’re thinking. Blah, blah, Amelie. Everyone says that. That’s true to

an extent. Everyone does complain that their lives are miserable and they have no control.

They don’t know real helplessness.

Your every move planned down to the minute.

Where to be, when to speak, what to say.

While dread held my body hostage, my family was eager. They had been awaiting this

day for years. Our house was filled with never-ending talk about the alliances they were forging.

The steps forward we were taking.

Steps forward meant power. Respect.

Power required money—of which we had plenty.

It was the respect part that dear old Dad was always chasing after, and perhaps that’s

why he never was able to fully grasp it.

That, plus one other important factor—respect could seem a lot like fear.

Therein laid the trap: his eldest daughter was a hostage. And not just that…

A bargaining chip.

There was the dress and the veil and the stupid sapphire earrings that made my lobes

ache. The walk down the aisle, toward a man I had done my best to understand. The eldest

DeSantis brother. The one with the most to lose—and the most to gain, depending on the

outcome of our union. We’d been in orbit for a while, and today we were on a collision course.

But my entire world rotated on its axis that day.

My life was planned from my sixteenth birthday onward, like the second hand of a clock.

Onward; drearily, relentlessly forward.

But my wedding? 

Instead of a kiss on my lips, it ended with blood splattered across my veil.

And that… well, that’s where our story begins.

REVIEW: Passion of the Vampire King (Blood Fire Saga Book 5) by Bella Klaus


 

Passion of the Vampire King (Blood Fire Saga Book 5) by Bella Klaus
#AvailableNow #kindleunlimited
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08SHQTF6T/

Blurb:

Might as well face it, I’m addicted to thrall.

I thought I’d seen the last of Valentine… at least for a little while, but he’s found a way to get me back under his thrall. This time, I’m not resisting.

But he’s the least of my problems. The deal I made with the devil has backfired.

If I don’t get the better of this bargain, I’m at risk of spending the rest of my days in hell.

Passion of the Vampire King is book five of the Blood Fire Saga.

❤❤❤REVIEW❤❤❤
Noooo! That did not just happen!?!? As these books go on, the more intense and twisted they get. Mera has came a long way from an introverted shop keep to a badass fire wielding Phoenix. After all of this,Valentine and Mera deserves their HEA. Please!!

REVIEW: Shattered Legacy : Dark College Bully Romance (Gravestone Elite Book 1) by Caitlyn Dare

Shattered Legacy : Dark College Bully Romance (Gravestone Elite Book 1) by @authorcaitlyndare 

#NewRelease. #AvailableNow. #ReviewBelow 


Blurb: 

Blood. Money. Power.


Are you ready to be initiated?


All I ever wanted was to escape Gravestone and its archaic traditions.


But one fateful night, I find myself right in the middle of one of their sacred ceremonies.


And now, I’ve been claimed by the devil.


It’s meant to be a privilege, or at least that’s what everyone tells me. But they don’t know the truth. They don’t know the depths of depravity, the sick and twisted games that exist in this world I’ve been thrust into.


I might belong to Cade Kingsley, but he’s not the one I want. He’s not the one my heart beats for.


Bexley Easton has been dragged into this world much like me.


I want to say he’s different, that he’s good and pure, that he’s everything I’ve made him out to be in my head.


But he’s one of them now and I fear everything we’ve shared could be a lie.


One thing’s for certain though, if Cade discovers the depth of my betrayal then it could be the end...


For both of us.


Shattered Lies is the first book in the Gravestone Elite trilogy. It is a DARK BUULY ROMANCE and contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing. You have been warned.


πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›REVIEW πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›


This is my very first story by Caitlyn Dare and I was blown away! I went into this story blind. I thought this was another bully/Academy series. Nah! You have secret societies, suspense, arranged coupling, angst, flaming hot steam, MCs with so much chemistry. What a way to start this series. Can't wait to read more!!

Ignite Me (Watch Me Burn Book 4) by R.E.Bond


 Ignite Me (Watch Me Burn Book 4) by R.E.Bond


#AvailableNow #FreeOnKindleUnlimited #NewRelease


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P3Q579B


Blurb:


We’re going to be okay.

We’re broken, but we’ll rebuild.

If we can all get along, long enough to deal with this shit.


Who decides to get involved with so many guys and thinks it’s going to be smooth sailing?

Spoiler alert, it’s not.

The guys are totally going to start killing each other soon.


Lukas and Jensen can’t seem to figure their relationship out.

Skeeter and Marco might kill each other one of these days.

If it gets any worse, I might just kill them myself.


With the Devils and Psychos working alongside each other, things are calmer.

Well, other than the Psychos recruiting some newbies.

Oh, and Satan’s Soldiers are back in town with a new leader, so that’s just wonderful.


My guys keep showing me every day that this is real, and I’m so in love it’s gross.

Family has become everything to me, but I wish they’d let me handle my own shit.

It’s a shame there’s no hope at saving my sister from my revenge.

She dug her own grave.


I know I said red was my colour, but I’m getting pretty good at wearing orange.

Don’t cross me, it’s goddamn simple.


Ignite Me is a 111k word dark romance reverse harem novel. This is the fourth book in the series and it must be read in order. The first four books are Rory's, and the harem grows over those books. The series contains dark content such as abuse and rape. It also has slow burn m/m scenes throughout. There is a very small f/f scene in this book too. If you are triggered by sensitive content or cursing, this series is not for you.


πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€REVIEW πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

OMG! I can't believe Rory's story is over. I think I'm gonna have a book hangover after this. I have to admit, this is officially the largest harem I've ever read...(so far). I can't wait to read about Jade's story. I hope we get a few cameos in the future. 


R.E. Bond is a fantastic writer and the incredible development between characters, with those unexpected twist, had me at the edge of my seat. I read this one quicker than expected. I definitely would love to check out more of her work.

Blurb: 

I’m damaged.

I’ve been through too much in my eighteen years.

Between joining the Bloody Psychos and mourning my best friend,

I’m going a little crazy.


If the enemy is no longer the enemy, you can jump in bed with them, right?

You’d think I’d be happy with five guys in my life, but I can’t control myself.

What can I say? Bad boys are my weakness.


The Bloody Psychos and the Devil’s Armada have my back, but now I need to have theirs.

Sacrifices must be made to keep them safe, and I’ll do anything.

Even sell my soul to a monster.


The only person I’ll be able to rely on is myself.

Deceiving everyone I love is the only way this can go.

I just wish they’d let me go without a fight.


I’m going downhill fast, and no one can save me.

In destroying everyone around me, I’ll destroy myself too.

Nothing can compare to the emotional pain of hurting the ones you love.


This can only end bloody.

I just never expected the one holding the gun would be my guardian angel.


*Beautiful Deceit is a 72k word dark romance reverse harem novel. This is the third book in the series and it must be read in order. The first four books are Rory's, and the harem grows over those books, so other guys will be added as the story goes. The series contains dark content such as abuse and rape. It also has slow burn m/m scenes throughout. If you are triggered by sensitive content or cursing, this series is not for you. 


πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€REVIEW πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€


I'm sorry, I'm still shook and still trying to process what the hell just happened. 😱😱😱 


This series seriously getting better and better every book. I'm seriously freaking out and with a cheesy grin on my face. I was not expecting that huge twist at the end. It's definitely one to get your heart racing. Literally, my anxiety is so high right now. This is so intense, with so much feels, you become emotionally invested. Seriously, a series I will recommend as much as possible
