Losers part 2 picks up where part 1 left off & must be read in order.

Jess has been back in town - only to find herself in a contract with the men who she thought she hated. Who she bullied any chance she got. A contract that has her serving them, which has then shattered the perfect little life she thought she wanted into a future that may be more than just a fantasy but might become real. But what will she need to sacrifice to get the future she didn't hope to dream of?

I absolutely loved this book, just as much as part 1. It was still hot and sexy and was definitely more than I ever thought, which left me wondering why I waited so long before I dived into this series. It was dark and delicious touching on many fantasies and kinks much like the first one did. I loved the characters & the dynamic between everyone, watching the characters grow, and loved the story too.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this series & while I already have the Dare & part 1 on my shelves I will need to add part 2 as well (preferably in the indie cover to match my others!)

You're Next is the conclusion to the Devil's Backbone series & I absolutely loved it. Yes these are Dark Romances but they also err on the lighter/humor side a bit & I loved every second of it. I love the twisted darkness but also loved the humor & banters & characters. These were such fun great reads and I definitely enjoyed them. I enjoyed the crazy, the Cliffys, the romance & spice, & the characters, and I'm so glad I grabbed & read this series. If you like dark romance, why choose & secret society romances than I definitely recommend this series. Quack!

Upon facing prison, a spot at Lilydale opens up for Avery instead. Lilydale is an asylum for those they hope to rehabilitate back to society, full of delinquent & the deranged. Upon her arrival, she catches the eye of Grey - one of the craziest and second to Damon who runs the place. But she also gets the attention of Theo as well, who prefers his quiet and solitude but allows Avery around. As Avery tries to settle into her new life, trouble seems to find her at every turn. Can Avery be saved or will she become nothing more than another broken patient among the masses.

"You think I'm going to kill you?" he asks, wiping an imaginary tear away. "Oh, no. You've got it all wrong. You'll be seeing Heaven, but not like that."

So,I picked up this book on a whim. It has been on my TBR for awhile but recently the quote for the audio had been popping up on my feed and I love me a good crazy MMC so I decided to give it a go. It was definitely an entertaining read - if you like the type of train wreck stories that you can't look away from type dramas - this will be right up your ally. It's a dark why-choose set in an asylum - so definitely check TW if you need to - and book 1 in a series. While the storyline was a bit all over the place, and the timelines not always making sense, it was a fun read and I definitely enjoyed the characters, & want to know more. I'm not sure if I will be continuing the series or not mainly bc while I picked it up solely for the one line - it didn't quite hit the spot I was looking for. Overall it was an okay read but not as dark & twisted as I had hoped.

Oh my goodness!!

So I love Teagan Hunter's books - I love the giddiness the books bring me making me smile, kick my feet & laugh out loud. But I also love the other emotions they can bring out of me too - and this was no different.

First, I went in blind - I don't think I read the blurb at all before diving in (or if I did I forgot) despite promoting the book before now 😂😂 (don't ask me how I did it - I don't know okay!) I've been a little distracted and in a reading slump for over a year that I've definitely been struggling. I don't want to jinx it but I think I'm back into the groove of reading again and falling in love with each book, story & characters. Including this one.

So Keller having a secret wife we had zero idea about for the entirety of the Seattle Serpents series is just 🤯😂😂. And everything just sort of makes sense and clicks. His whole grumpy persona is more than just the bare minimum we've seen all series. And I loved reading his story.

And of course loved the group chats and Lawson's ridiculousness. I loved the deep dive into Keller and learning about him, his cat (bc awwwwww) and his wife. Like I said I loved all the emotions this book has - not just the lovey-dovey rom-cominess that has me smiling like an idiot at my Kindle. I loved the found family between the team and I am said to see the conclusion of the series and having it end (not as sad as I was after Carolina Comets bc I can't wait to see what else Teagan has in store 👀 which I'm of course excited about) - I loved this series.

4.5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.

Even though Broken Ties is Broken Bonds but in the MMC's POV - I recommend reading it last bc of spoilers.

After Oleander went missing five years ago, her bonds finally dragged her back in an attempt to keep her safe,even though nothing of her story is adding up. As the war is amping up,the community is in crisis, there is deception from all around and their enemies are closing in - but Oli's bonds are determined not to let her get away again.

I love this series and absolutely loved finally getting a look into the MMC's POVs!

I loved learning more about all of Oli's bonds and more of what was going on around each of them. And I'm glad I reread the series before diving into the newest edition. I am still very much obsessed with these books, and would love to see more of the books in the MMC's POV as well. I don't think I will ever get enough of these books, this story or these characters. I could easily spend my time rereading these books in an endless loop just to never have to part ways with these characters I adore so much.

Why did I wait so long to read this book?

So I've had On Wings of Blood on my TBR for months,but I have been putting it off - especially with my book slump I've been in, it was a struggle to pick up any book for over a year now.

On Wings of Blood follows Medra - a woman who is not like everyone else in a world she knows nothing about.

She fell into a dangerous world of dragons and magic and knows nothing of the world she now must navigate with any hope of surviving.

Bound to be betrothed to a vampire prince, sent to a school of magic and other highbloods who want nothing more than to see her fail she must not only survive her first year in a cruel and merciless school, but in a world that loathes of her even existence. But she isn't as weak or as ignorant as they think - and time and time again prove her worth.

So, I will be honest, the book was a bit slow paced in the beginning. And it took me awhile to actually get into it with the world building. And I didn't know as much about the characters to actually care one way or the other. But slowly, it grew on me and things started happening progressing the story forward, and I was hooked - wanting to know what happened next in not only the story and plot but with the characters too.

I loved Medra's strength and resilience. And her friendships.

I loved Blake's asshole-ishness - and his possessive and protectiveness, I only wished there was more from his POV's.

I even loved Theo and wished we had seen more from him as well.

I loved the dark and twisted world they resided in.

I can't wait to see what transpires next between Medra and Blake and the world they were navigating together.

If you are looking for a dark academia romantasy - with vampires, & magic - I recommend On Wings of Blood!

*Unhinged is book 2 in the Malus Family series & Twisted must be read first.

Unhinged picked up right where Twisted left off - right in the midst of a life or death situation which is part for the course when you are a demon hunter married into a vampire Mafia family.

Wren used to hunt the monsters in the world, but always under the Order 's thumb. But after her unorthodox marriage to a powerful vampire she realizes she might actually be falling for him. He has become her protector and the one person she could trust in the world.

But chaos throughout the city is closing in and it all leads back to Wren and the Order but she just can't figure out how.

I am loving this series from Emily Goodwin. And loving both Wren and Xavier and even Devon, Theo, Zeke and Mabel. I love Wren and Xavier's dynamic & them getting to know each other. And I can't wait to see what happens next with the series and all the characters. If you are looking for a dark paranormal series, I definitely recommend the Malus family series!

Grumpily Ever After follows Noah, a grumpy ex hockey player who is recently divorced, runs the local Cidety, and is Izzy's older brother -whom he can't say no to. Odette is Izzy's best friend, and runs a failing wedding planning business. But both come together to try and make Izzy's dream wedding happen, but will Izzy's wedding end in a happy ever after, or will it crumble around Odette & Noah? So I thoroughly enjoyed Grumpily Ever After. Odette - Noah's story was sweet with a hint of spice. Noah was a grump who was divorced, and missed the sport he grew up playing and loving. Odette was a girl who despite her business failing, and her lack of a love life was still optimistic and believed in happily ever afters. Them together would never work. Between Noah's divorced, & Odette's curse, and there was a 12 year age gap. But all the days working together to get the Cidery wedding perfect - and their attraction to one another ignites. As always I enjoy Teagan's books & Grumpily Ever After was no different. It brought a little spice, and some humor into a sweet small town contemporary romance novel. And it was a great read to get lost in. So if you like sweet romances, with secret hook ups, age gap, and a sprinkle of animals with fun names - then I definitely recommend Grumpily Ever After. 4 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.
