The Butcher of the Bay Part 2 - Review

Image
 This book was longer than it needed to be. It actually felt like this could have been one long book and just didn't need a part 2. The fact that the story is still not technically complete yet the duology is over is a little annoying. I don't like when books do that. Though I guess now, everything is under the Mounts Bay umbrella with the next few books. Though the main characters aren't the same. I have to endure a bully romance just to get to the full conclusion for Illi and Odie. Other than that, it was an ok read. Things really felt drawn out. Odie is found relatively quickly and there isn't much damage done to her. So the rest of the book is really just Illi going around trying to get people which while satisfying was just not enough material to keep everything interesting. I know that the full conclusion for Illi and Odie is indeed going to affect The Wolf, who is the main character of the next few books but man, I wish it was like a time overlap type of deal. Wh...

Nightshade - Review

Image
This book was so different. Like, I loved the subject matter and the way it was handled. The past back and forth of the chapters and the reveals were perfectly placed. I felt bad for characters that didn't even deserve sympathy. Then I also felt anger, curious and happy at certain parts. The lore was thick and definitely made sure you paid attention.  The spice was great in this one. I really enjoyed the scenes with the characters. I almost washed more. It's not super descriptive but it is still well done. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 for spice. Overall, I liked this book. I do plan on continuing the series and I can't wait to see what comes next. I'd recommend this to anyone who don't mind the religious context with dark overtones. 

Under Your Scars - Review

Image
So I listened to this book and the narration was amazing!! Joe Arden put his whole budussy in this narration ok!! Out was great. The story was a good dark romance read. I found myself rooting for Christian the whole way even though he is indeed a murderer. Like make no mistake about that. I was rooting for him to get the girl. The father in this one though was also really good. He didn't have many scenes but he made the most of them while there and really left an impact. I was not prepared for that ending. I knew this was a tragedy but my goodness. I didn't think it would go the way it went!! I really thought the FMC was going to be the problem but... yeah that didn't happen. Also the reveals!! Omg yall, I wasn't ready. Truly. This will definitely have an impression.  The spice was good! The characters had chemistry and they were everywhere. 3 almost 4 out of 5 for spice. Overall I enjoyed this read even though it hurt. I have it a 4 because I a hooked from ...

Beneath Hoof and Hollow - ARC Review

Image
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...
