Vulfu - Review

Image
This book picks up from the beginning again when the girls initially get split up. We get to see what happens to at least three of them from this one characters POV. I liked it but definitely not as much as the first one. I will say that this one was way more emotional than the first one. Stephanie had a lot more trauma to deal with than Kate and watching her have to deal with it in a situation where she can barely speak with the others she meets was interesting. It was a struggle and I really felt for her. Luckily, even with the speech barrier, they were still able to understand her for the most part. I think one thing that is emphasized in this story is that, emotions are something that can be conveyed without words. Someone who is receptive can pick up on something that is going on with others even if they don't speak the same language. This idea is something that really resonates with me and is something that I wish others would be more accepting to. Though there is definitely ...

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...

Mafia Mistress - Review

Image
  So I have some thoughts. Before I started this book I read some of the reviews and comments on it and there were two things that were prevalent when I went through the bad ones. Mainly that the FMC was a push over and the other being that they felt like she was groomed by the older MMC. So here are my takes on that. I do think that she was a push over. Frankie never really had the nerve to stand up to Fausto and stick to her guns. When people talk about being dickmatized, this is what they mean. I mean this man literally did her wrong more than once, he admits it but she doesn't make him earn her. She is constantly trying to escape even though it seems like not only a hopeless endeavor but also one that doesn't seem smart. So I will say for that part she was annoying. Then we get to the part where she is groomed. Now I don't believe that she is. She's already sexually active and is out here living her best life prior to meeting Fausto. Now if she was a virgin and he t...

God of War - Review

Image
 The conclusion to the Legacy of Gods series was not what I was expecting it to be. I definitely felt like this one was a little all over the place. I didn't know how to feel about either one of the MCs in this one. I will say that I did listen to the audible version of this and I definitely did not vibe with the female narrators voice. I let it go though and continued to listen. So far in this series, I have loved the mental health representation and maybe there is someone out there who can relate to what was going on with Ava but I felt like her reactions were a little all over sometimes. Like I don't even think it has anything to do with her illness and everything to do with how she was written. The back and forth with her feelings just felt tiring. You know that they care for each other but their actions at times definitely did not reflect that. At times it was illogical. I didn't feel them falling for each other the way that you feel it with the other characters. Even ...

Freeing Luka - Review

Image
  This book wasn't as good as the first one in my opinion. I definitely almost forgot the FMCs name. I did like the relationship that she had with the other women that she was able to free. They are all definitely going to be interesting if some of them are going to be in the rest of this series. I can't wait to explore more of this world. I loved the nerdy relationship these two had with each other. We didn't get to see much more of the planet like I was hoping we would. The threat of allowing the people of the planet find out about humans being as compatible with the men here is amazing. I will say that I didn't even think about how this would affect the women of the planet in such a positive way. Even though this one wasn't better than the first one to me, I still managed to enjoy this one. I can't wait to read the rest of this series! The spice in this book was good. I would give it a 3 out of 5 for the spice. The connection between these two was definitely ...

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. 

Heat For Hire- Review

Image
This was spicy!! I love omegaverse books and this one had everything you could ask for, heats, alphas, slick, knotting and more!! Elli is a scarred omega who is looking to find herself again after surviving cancer. She finds a kindred soul in Rhen who is also disfigured. They both are looking to affirm themselves in their roles. Elli is a human and Rhen is from a different planet but still has the ABO dynamic. I really liked how this world has everything set up and I would love to read more from this world.  The spice was amazing.  If course since it's all about heat they are banging all over the place. 5 out of 5 for spice. Overall this was a really good short read. It felt like a great book to pick up after being lost in the world of dark romance. Rhen is protective and caring for Elli. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys omegaverse and alien romance!! 

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...
