I have mixed feelings about this book. There were some parts I really enjoyed, but some parts that felt over the top and not my personal favorite.

This series is supposed to be RH, but at least this first book didn’t really have any RH/why choose. The FMC dated briefly one of the MMCs towards the end of the book, but that’s basically it. Personally, I didn’t feel the chemistry between her and any of the MMCs. But maybe the relationship aspect will develop in the following books.

Not a bad book by any means and I’m interested to read what happens next.

Unfortunately this book wasn’t for me. I couldn’t get into the story and found the FMC to be quite annoying. Personally I felt like the author tried a bit too hard to make the FMC sound badass.

“Anyone who doesn’t like dogs is not dating material.”
“You fvcked up my life. Now I’m going to fvck up yours.”
“I’m safe. And technically, I’m free. So why does it feel like I’m locked in a prison.”
“I am not helpless. I am fvcking lethal.”
“Words can be broken. So can bones.”

I don’t know where to start or what to say. Once again, I’m speechless! This book was amazing—an emotional wild ride that kept me hooked. I literally couldn’t put it down and devoured it in a heartbeat.

The book picks up right where Book 1 ends. The storyline was once again full of action and there was a lot happening. This book was darker compared to the first book, but with the darkness and heaviness there were also some really sweet and funny moments.


Jane continued to be an amazing FMC. She was strong and fierce no matter what happened to her. And I really liked Rose as a character. The friendship between her and Jane was great, and I loved how they were able to help each other in a difficult situation..

Even though Alex is my favorite, I enjoyed James too, and really liked his redemption arc. I loved how all the main characters got the endings they deserved.

And the spice was, once again, spicing 🔥

“Such a good girl for me, little bat.”
“He is my life. Where he goes, I go. My soul and his soul. We are forever.”
“This is where my demons became my friends.”

Kinsley, my Queen, you did it again! 
Like I said after reading Sinner, I didn’t think it was possible for me to love Elijah more than I already did, but this book made me love him even more! 🖤

The dynamic and relationship between Rain and Elijah continued to be amazing. I love how easily they understand each other and know what the other person wants and needs. I also loved seeing them work together.

The first book in the series was a wild ride, but this one took it up a notch. Loved the creative use of the cheese grater and other fun toys.

Greta seemed like an interesting character and I would love to learn more about her.

The ending was so cute—I need more, please and thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️,5

“I want to play a game.”
“He wants this. But I want this, too. I chose this.”

Short & spicy Halloween novella with masked MMCs.

Even though the book was quite short, there was a lot happening. The pacing was fast, but didn’t feel rushed.

The book is told from the FMC Tatum’s point of view, except for the epilogue, which was in Wes’s POV. The single POV storytelling worked well for the story, but I also liked how the POV switched for the epilogue, allowing the reader to see a bit of the other side of the story.

The spice was spicing, and I would love to read more about these characters.

“Feeling warm over there, Frostbite?”
“You just have to go and ruin all my fun now, don’t you.”
“Plant your pretty c*nt on my face so I can revel in your taste.”

Snow Queen reimagining with royal politics and great character growth.

I love fairytale retellings, so of course I wanted to read this one too, and I really enjoyed it. I don’t think I’ve read Snow Queen retellings before.

The book is told in one POV, Tove. I liked her as a FMC. She had a tragic past and she was fighting with her inner demons. I liked how she grew as a character throughout the story and how relatable she was, I mean I also love pastries and have anxiety 😅 Tove’s struggles with her painful monthly cycles is something you don’t usually see in fantasy books.

The side characters were also interesting and helped to move the plot forward. I liked the banter, tension and relationship development between Tove and the MMC. I liked having the nice build up and slow burn.

This book was an emotional rollercoaster in the best way possible. There were some sad parts but also some parts that had me laughing out loud. And some parts that truly took me by surprise with plot twists I didn’t see coming.

I loved having the pronunciation guide and map right at the beginning. And there was some beautiful character art inside the book.

The world seemed really interesting and I would love to learn more about it and for example, the deities. Can’t wait to read more!

“What’s the best way to k!ll someone?”

“Rain Mills. My new obsession.”

I didn’t think it was possible for me to love Elijah Sinclair more than I did after reading Haunted by the Devil, but I was wrong. This book made me love him even more!

I loved seeing glimpses of him as a child and teen, and learning more about him as a character. And five-year-old Elijah with his bat was absolutely adorable 🖤

“No exemptions. No lives spared. This is more than revenge… this is fate.”

“Fine. If she wants to play, then let’s fvcking play.”

“Moan like your life depends on it. We have a meter to feed after all.”

Dark erotic thriller with Saw vibes, deadly games, and full of twists and turns.

I loved the tension and banter between the MMC, Colson, and the FMC, Raiden. Their bratty black cat x filthy-mouthed golden retriever dynamic worked so well together, leading to some funny, flirty one-liners (“Wet? Yes. For you? No.”).

I enjoyed the escape room aspect and the deadly games, and I would have loved to read more about what goes down in there.

I’m not going to say much about the plot itself because I don’t want to accidentally spoil anything. The storyline kept me hooked, and I finished the book in one sitting.

I can’t wait to read more!

“Let me watch you enjoy my wife, Sweet Girl.”

“Is this what you wanted, baby girl. To be taken care of by the both of us?”

Great debut novel with poly representation and dark themes.

I enjoyed the relationship development and dynamics between the main characters, Lexi, Cam, and Shay. Lexi was a strong FMC with a difficult past that affected her deeply. I liked how both Cam and Shay were able to help her heal.

The pacing was slower at times, allowing more room for character and relationship development, but there weren’t any dull moments. The storyline itself was interesting, and I would love to read more about Cam, Shay, and Lexi.

I can’t wait to read more books from this author!

“I didn’t just want to make her cry. I wanted to ruin her.”

“I’m finally who I was always meant to be.”

Short and fast-paced, pitch-black, twisted Romeo & Juliet retelling.

This book was amazing! Even though it was short, there was a lot happening. Both Caius and Tatum were dark and twisted in their own ways, and I loved their dynamic.

Don’t expect a happy ending from this book, because you won’t get one. This was probably the first no-HEA book I’ve read, and I really enjoyed it. I liked the ending and felt like it was perfect for the storyline.
