“I’m not better. I’m the worst. Always have been.”

MY GOODNESS! WHAT A STORYYY!

Wolff and AJ are both so toxic, dark, twisted, unhinged, and broken, yet somehow fit together perfectly.

AJ is rescued from a notorious sex trafficker in Russia by Wolff, a member of the Sovereign. Wolff is absolutely NOT a hero or a knight in shining armor or the guy you take home to mom and dad. He’s extremely violent, morally questionable, and definitely has his own very messed up way of showing he cares.

Their journey across Russia is filled with violence and trouble, but somehow, they become each other’s comfort. Wolff’s backstory helped me understand him more, even if it didn’t excuse everything. I wanted to punch him and off him a couple of times, but he eventually redeemed himself in my eyes. 😂

AJ’s story genuinely made my chest ache, especially watching her turn to alcohol, drugs, and self-destruction.

Saige’s writing kept me glued to the pages, and this one was pitch black! 🏴‍☠️🖤⬛️

Violence, gore, abuse, twists, angst, and PLENTY of what the literal fuck moments.

I will absolutely be submerging myself into more of her books!! I reallyyyy enjoyed this book. Their story was rocky, toxic, and completely fucked up, but somehow, it worked!!🖤 . .

This story follows the determination of a mother, Kate, who is desperately searching for her daughter, who has been missing for 18 months. Nicole is known to her audience for having silicone dolls, each with their own likes, dislikes, and personalities. She feeds them, changes them, and cares for them like you would a real human child. But how do you prove that some of those dolls could be real when her fanbase is fully supporting her?

I have to say, I felt like a fly on the wall the entire time I was reading this. This may sound harsh, but I would’ve loved to see more of the psychological aftermath. I felt like there was so much potential there, and I wanted to sit with those emotions a little longer.

I also have to mention that the ending stopped what felt like a mid-thought and was very abrupt. I would’ve loved to see the story wrap up a little more fully instead of ending so suddenly.

That being said, I did enjoy this book, and nothing felt out of place to me. It kept me invested, and overall, I’m glad I read it.

OKAYYYYYYY. This story will probably always have a special place in my heart. Not many books give Pit Bulls the recognition they truly deserve. The story definitely hits hard when it comes down to how unfairly and poorly this breed of anything close in bloodline, is treated. I am a pit mama, and I couldn’t imagine seeing something like this in a vet setting. I’m biased, but anyone who mentions pitbulls in a manner this book did, automatically earns a piece of my heart. ❤️🐾

Enough of that, Xoren is quite literally the mysterious, edgy man this story needed. This was SO good. His demeanor, his personality, everything about him really stood out. The power he exudes is amazing. And the “red flags” read more like bright green flags. Seriously, it worked so well in this book. In real life, though? This would’ve had me hyperventilating and calling the police every two seconds HAHAHA. (No, no, I’m serious😂)

Kyah, the vet. She built herself around never needing anyone. She truly built her way up from the bottom. The one who helps those who can’t let us know what’s wrong. She’s such a sweetheart! I loved her from the minute her story began. The real world needs more people like her!! 🥹

ALSOOOOOOO, WHAT A FREAKING PLOT TWIST! I was completely blindsided! GIIIIIIIIIIRL. 👀

I don’t reread books often, but this one will be getting read at least two more times. I loved it! . . Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and review this book! All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and are not influenced by receiving an advance copy.

I really liked this one!

The atmosphere was probably my favorite part. The creepy carnival, gothic vibes, and paranormal elements made it such a fun read. And the spice? No complaints there!

I also really liked Lola, Paxton, and Cillian together. Lola is LOVED on in this book, and I’m always here for a woman getting exactly that treatment. Their dynamic was another favorite of mine. 🤭

My ONLY real complaint is that there was just way too much happening in such a short amount of time. I wanted more of the characters, more backstory, and more time for everything to actually unfold because some things felt rushed.

Overall, I had a good time with it. Give me the creepy carnival, the spice, and two men obsessed with Lola and I’m pretty happy. 🎪🖤

Cute short and morbid!! 🤣

I liked the premise, and Nina waking up from a two-year coma and choosing to get involved in the serial killer investigation made for an interesting setup. I just wish the story had been a little more developed. There were some good moments, but I never felt completely pulled into the suspense or the investigation. That being said, the book was so short that I really can’t knock it too hard. It was a quick, easy read that had potential, I just wanted a little more from it.
