Twist Me - Review

-


 I had a rough time with this book. Not because it's dark romance, I love a good dark romance, but because it just didn't feel like the characters ever really fell for each other, it just felt dark. There wasn't really a moment where I felt like, ok, this guy deserves her even though he is a dark and dangerous guy. It just felt like he kidnapped this girl and brain washed someone else into making her believe she should stay. Even when she basically gave in and wanted to stay with him, it just felt like....she'd gotten used to that life and didn't want anything to change. It didn't feel like there was really any type of emotional connection anywhere in this book. Then when the random bad guys came and stole her, it was just...random. Her appendix randomly goes out...idk, I just didn't believe it. I guess, that's my issue. I wasn't sold on this story at all. I don't believe that Julian loved her. It felt like he just wanted to keep her as his pet. I didn't believe that Nora loved him either. Felt like she was just eventually dickmitized into staying with him. They just didn't spend enough time together for me to believe in any type of romance between them. I felt more of a connection between her and the guy who Julian had beat up than I did with her and Julian.

The spice is there but again it didn't really hit for me. Since it didn't really feel like there was a moment that they connected. They didn't even really stick in my mind after I read them. So for this one, I'm giving it a 3 out of 5 because it is there and there is multiple scenes but just know the quality of those scenes, in my opinion, is not that great. Overall, I would probably not really recommend this book. I can't even say the spice was that amazing and the story just felt very lackluster to me. As always, pick up a book and try it for yourself, you may have a different opinion than me.

Tempt Me - Review

 The next series that I decided to take on in my re-read sessions was the Wolf Hotel series by KA Tucker. This series was one that I devoured when I originally read it so I wanted to see if it still hit the same as then! This first book definitely has taken advantage of the naive virgin trope and really let it go full tilt. We meet Abbi as she is going through one of the worst moments in her life. She just found out that her fiancé cheated on her. Of course she comes from a super religious background meaning that they feel like it's ok for the man to do this while she must remain chaste. I mean all the things that young adults get into are things that she was forbidden to do, whether it was drinking, partying or wearing and talking about certain things. Our girl is oblivious. So when she runs into the one and only Henry Wolf, who has done just about any and everything, she is intrigued and curious. I liked that the FMC wasn't someone who fell into her upbringing heavily and did...

Beneath Hoof and Hollow - ARC Review

This was a great dark spicy Halloween read!! I really enjoyed this! Em and Fier definitely matched each other's freak. In all forms from the blood and guts to the pumpkin magic cum! Emmeline had to be strong to dry years of teaching to try to not only save herself but also the other women of the village. I can't help but wonder if the men who joined on Itrimorts side thought about the fact that she they killed all the women they wouldn't have any.... apparently not. Even though too many women died before the demon could be killed,  a good prob of them were still able to be saved. I liked the characters in this book, especially sassy Horace! A for spice, you might as well put it in all caps because this book had it in spades. From invisible man sex to pumpkin monster sex. It was packed in these pages. Solid 5 out of 5 on spice. Overall I'd give this book a 4 out of 5. It was enjoyable, freaky and told beautifully. There was no dull moments and everything flow...

The Death King - Review

  Whew, this book has definitely reminded my why I love this authors writing. This book was so so good! I enjoyed stepping into this world of unknowns, dragons and gifted. I will say this is definitely going to be a series that I devour. Be careful of  your triggers with this one because it is definitely a dark fantasy romance. Calista is definitely a fiesta FMC who will fight for what she wants and will take nothing less. She starts out in a pretty terrible situation with no light at the end of the tunnel only to be taken and put into another situation that had the potential to be worse than the previous one that she was in. Then we also have Talon. When we first meet him, he is definitely someone who we are supposed to not like. This is definitely enemy to friends with benefits to enemies and hopefully back to lovers. One of the things I didn't really think would be a big deal that became a big deal was finding out who Calista really was. I didn't think it would matter to Ta...
