Rise of the Sphinx: The Complete Series by J. Kearston


 Rise of the Sphinx: The Complete Series by J. Kearston

#NewReleasedBoxSet #NowAvalilable #ReviewinComments


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08WHFTN3W/


Blurb: 

COMPLETED SERIES COMPILATION

This set contains all three books in the Rise of the Sphinx series: Oblivion, Obscured, and Obsessed.

*Twist on Egyptian mythology that morphs into a take on the seven deadly sins

*Mythological shifters

*Multi POV

*Widowed, young mother of a prophetic little girl

*Red herrings galore


Oblivion- I thought life was hard enough. Widowed young and left to raise my daughter alone, I never expected the threats I would have to shield her from. Magic, monsters, and three men fighting to protect their final hope. I have nothing to gain, but everything to lose... or so I thought.

Obscured- The journey through the Underworld is brutal and unforgiving. Nightmares come to life, taking everything that I thought I knew and tearing it apart.

Destroy or be destroyed.

But when every truth is obscured, what choice is left but to raze everything to the ground and build our future on the ashes?

Obsessed- They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, but the path to redemption is far more winding. Now, I just need to fix everyone else's mess without becoming the biggest sway in the balance.

They put their faith in a Sin, and I can't even bring myself to laugh at the irony.


*This is a why choose, RH, darker fantasy romance intended for ages 18+. This means our main character will not have to choose between her love interests. While not described in graphic detail, this series does contain mention of darker themes that some may find triggering, so please read the note in the beginning of the book before choosing to read.


πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€REVIEW πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this series. You have everything from rare mythological shifters, hot chemistry between mates, so many plot twist and turns and everything is not what it seems.It was so intense, I couldn't put this down. The character development and epic world building was incredibly fantastic. I mean I am still in awe at literally everything about this series. It's too bad that I can't rate higher than a 5, it's definitely worth a lot more. Plus, if you are a huge Mythology buff like me, than I would highly recommend this one.

Forged from the Ashes (Wings of War Book 1) by J. Kearston


 Forged from the Ashes (Wings of War Book 1) by J. Kearston

#AvailableNow #ReviewinComments


 It takes more than blood to be a dragon.

You have to fight for everything you want in this world, then fight to keep it because there will always be someone that tries to take it away from you. In a world of nothing but predators, the only way to the top is to claw your way there.

You have to be the monster other monsters fear.

Ezra’s spent her life in hiding, but that all comes crashing down when three men fleeing for their lives bring the very trouble her family has protected her from to her door. Fight or flight, it all comes down to one very important question.

Why settle for something as mundane as simply existing when you have the potential to be so much more?


This is a humorous, HFN standalone, 18+ Reverse Harem dragon shifter romance. While the book contains copious amounts of humor, it does allude to a few situations that people may find triggering, so please read the note in the beginning of the book if you are concerned before reading. I do intend to write another book or so in this universe, but any books will be HFN standalones that can be read completely independently. This means that I will wrap things up with our main characters' story, but leave a little opening into bigger world problems that affect the characters in another book, as well as some cameos.

Contains: *Overprotective brothers

*brutal fun and games

*Men that adore her

*Multi POV

πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯REVIEWπŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Twenty-three years of being bored out of my mind, and now it’s been a whirlwind of excitement in just a couple of days. Boy, is this an understatement!

Our badass FMC, Ezra, is one of the very last female dragon shifters in the land. She was very sheltered from the outside world, by her overprotective brothers. They train her, not only for gauntlet matches, but also so she can protect herself. When she reaches her age of maturity (24), she ends up attacting all sorts of trouble. She ends up enlisting her out-of-town gauntlet rivals to act as bodyguards. What she also gained was three mates.


J. Kearston is easily becoming one of my favorite authors. Everything from the action, humor (and few Harry Potter references), to the characters, flows very smoothly. This was highly entertaining and I really enjoyed this story!

 Outcast: A Paranormal Shifter Romance (The Pack Prophecy Book 1) by @authorrlcaulder 


#AvailableNow #NewRelease 


Blurb:

“The arrival of the Prophetess will bring both hope and destruction for the wolves of the world.


She alone will be able to save them–or damn them.”


The dark prophecy that has been passed down since the first pack of shifters is coming to fruition– and I am at the center of it.


An orphaned human taken in by a pack of wolves. The fate of their existence in my hands.


I’ve been treated as the dirt beneath the pack’s paws for years. 


Will they be able to accept my new role when my powers surface? Will I be able to forgive them enough to help them?


The bright spot amongst all the turmoil...finding my three fated. Until one of them rejects our bond.


The one thing I know for sure...death is coming for us all, soon, and the person responsible for it? Their betrayal is going to alter the shifter world forever.


I’ll conquer my powers, protect the packs, and live happily ever after with my men, right?


Wrong.


No one is prepared for the vile truths of my visions to come to light.

Fragile Things: A Dark High School Romance (Folkestone Sins Book 1) by Samantha Lovelock


 Fragile Things: A Dark High School Romance (Folkestone Sins Book 1) by Samantha Lovelock

#AvailableNow #ReviewBelow


https://www.amazon.com/Fragile-Things-Folkestone-Sins-Book-ebook/dp/B089RR9GM5/


Blurb: 

Sometimes what seems most fragile, can't be broken.


Stella

Poe Halliday was an accident. A chance meeting that changed my life forever.


My mother didn't have secrets; her secrets had her.

After she disappeared, I had nothing.

Or so I thought.

When the invitation arrived, the opportunity to learn about my mother's past was too great to pass up. I knew I was taking a risk, but I craved answers.

Now the dark history of this town threatens to tear me apart.


It's all about him.


I knew this was a mistake.


Poe

Stella Bradleigh was a distraction. Something to play with when my shadows got too dark.


I spent my entire existence forced to live a life I didn't want. There was only one way out.

Or so I thought.

Meeting the beautiful stranger with the mysterious past, I thought she would be a good time, and then I could just throw her away.

Instead, she consumed me, and now she's made me question everything I know to be real in my life.


It's all about her.


I knew I was a mistake.


★ Fragile Things is the first book in Poe and Stella's story and the first book in the Folkestone Sins series. This is a dark, mature high school/new adult romance. It contains situations and flashbacks that may trigger some readers, language that may be offensive, and scenes of a sexual nature (all consensual).


πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—REVIEWπŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—


Ever since her mother disappeared, Stella has been on her own since she was 15. Two years later, she receives a package from her only known relative. She ends up moving to a small town in California where she unravels hidden secrets about her family.


Fantastic debut story by Samantha Lovelock. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I couldn't put this one down. There was suspense, hot chemistry between h and H, secrets unveiled, and twist and turns that will leave you wanting more. I must admit, I'm hooked!!

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.

πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œREVIEW πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ


"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…
