Hey, Phantom Hood!

We’re The Phantom Chasers and we’re looking for our next adventure.

There’s nothing too scary, or too haunted for the four of us.

We’ve been to the most famous haunted houses in the state,

And now we need your help.

Where would you guys want us to take you next?

We love to live stream our sleep overs,

and share with you as much of the experience as we can.

Send us your suggestions!!

And remember,

Nothing is off limits!

Sincerely,

Your Phantom Chasers.

Mary, Connor, Nick, and James

🖤🖤🖤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!!

Blurb:

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!
