Another banger from Kimberly. This has to be my favorite so far! This was so adventurous and fun to read. It was a difficulty to put it down and not stay up to finish in one sitting. Action packed with romance & a down bad MMC what’s not to love?

This was absolutely adorable. Idiots in love. Everyone sees it but them. Mali & Zach were made for eachother. Their lack of communication was frustrating at times but completely made sense as they were both insecure about the other person & thinking they were out of their league. But eventually they got their heads out of their asses and realized they’re in love. So precious. Can’t wait to read more from JS Jasper!

This was pure vampire smut and I am here for it. Love a juicy little novella that’s paranormal & smutty. No stakes. Need something short & spicy? Read this.

Oh my god. This was so amazing. This has pulled me from the trenches. I feel rejuvenated. Kuvier & Sedona were EVERYTHING. He was so patient and adorable and sweet. Need me an alien like him. Learning each other languages & getting to know each other just his care for her 😭 I would die for them okay. I can not wait for the second book. This was just so god damn good.

Ahhh loved this! So cute, tooth rotting fluff. Definitely a darker and more serious background plot but Naja with the pack was so precious. Loved that she took no shit from anyone but also realized it’s okay to let people take care of you & help you. Definitely recommend to my omegaverse besties!

So happy I got to read this ARC. This was hauntingly beautiful. Everything a monster lover could want with a dash of spooky vibes & some suspenseful moments I was at the edge of my damn seat waiting to read what happened next. This comes out so soon & I can’t wait for everyone to read it!

I definitely should have read the books before this I was a little confused in the beginning but started to understand quickly. This was so fun & spicy! Love me a good Christmas Monster Romance. This hit all the notes. Really wish I would have read this a month ago but still glad I got around to it & will be reading the others in this series!

This was so fun! It was very fast paced and kept me on my toes the whole time. I really could not guess who the killer was & I loved that. Lilith & Luke were adorable the ultimate Black Cat & Golden Retriever couple.
