For Fillies and Monsters by Landyn Hill

This was a wild ride. Check your triggers before reading. Gus was not your normal character. He had his demons and traumas and kinks. Stetson was a survivor and had her kinks as well but also a woman on a mission. I loved Stetson and her gal pal, Dale. 

This is not your normal romance. It's dark and has trauma. It also includes darker elements. However, I began to understand why the characters were how they were through their actions. It's so unique. 

When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker

5.0

This is a beautifully written book. The world building is absolutely amazing! Raeve is a force to be reckoned with and I can't wait to see how she develops more in Book 2. 

People often say it's too long, but I found it interesting despite the length. It held my interest. There's so much intrigue and slow burn.

I read this in one sitting. Such a good book. Spicy! A little intrigue. I loved Cora's character. She is a force to be reckoned with. Willing to do anything and everything for her family. James, was hard to love, but I liked his character. He has his reasons for his actions.

This was an amazing story about the Devil and a human. Itvreally is about darkness and light. Like how they balance each other in the world. It's beautifully crafted and told in a way that makes you believe Lucien was doing what he thought was in Aurora's best interest in all that he did.

This was a fun and cute story to read. Isla and Rachel definitely do friends to lovers. They each come with their own issues but learn that friends can help in life and love. Scotland for the win again for the setting.

This was a fascinating read. I liked how the author relates known stories/movies/games to the topics he is discussing. This makes it easier to understand and relate to.
