I need me a Pumpkin King! This book was the perfect blend of spooky and spicy. Jack’s unwavering passion while waiting for Ada was so intense, and Ada’s struggle with her own sanity kept me hooked. It was packed with everything I crave: lust, revenge, and that perfect hint of madness. An amazing short read that’s perfect for spooky season.
I really wanted to love this one, and I was ready for it to blow me away, but honestly, it just took forever to get going. There was some good stuff, though. I’ll give credit where it’s due: the character growth and relationship-building between Scarlett and Sol was solid. Their bond was powerful, and when they finally started connecting on that deeper level, it was amazing.
But here’s the thing – I didn’t really find myself hooked until, like, the last 20%. By then, I was invested, but getting there felt like a bit of a stretch. I can see why others do enjoy it, but overall, I think this just wasn’t for me. Still, I’d recommend it if you're into a slower burn and solid character development – it’s worth a try for sure.

I had quit a few people recommended to me, and I finally decided to give it a go. Honestly, I had no idea what to expect going in, but wow—this one hit hard. It’s heavy in all the mental and emotional ways, so definitely check the trigger warnings first. The themes around mental health are huge, and that’s what really made me feel so connected to Vanessa. Her story is raw and just… real. If you’re in the mood for something different and isn’t a super long read, definitely give this a try.
Alright, so I’ve been eyeing this book forever and finally gave in. It’s definitely a different vibe from what I usually go for – not totally dark, but nowhere near fluffy either. Romeo and Dallas? They’re the definition of opposites attract, but with this deep, enemies-to-lovers tension that kept me glued. The banter? Perfection. I seriously couldn’t put it down; something about it just hooked me.
This book was everything. The intensity, the passion, and that raw, unapologetic female rage. Rage is the kind of woman who doesn’t hold back, and she had me hooked from the start. I felt her pain, her determination, and honestly, I saw a bit of myself in her. Jase? Absolute perfection. He’s literally that dream guy we all want, the one who can handle her without wanting to fix her. He wants to bringing her out of the darkness in a way that felt real and just right. Even with all the spice, there is a deeper connection between Rage and Jase that made it amazing. Couldn’t put it down!
I am SCREAMING! First off, I couldn’t put this down. I ate this book up! Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to punch a character in the face so hard until these guys showed up. The drama, the betrayal, the tension—this book had me on edge the entire time. Everything about this was amazing, and that ending? Absolute slap in the face. I’m so ready to jump into book 2.
Okay, so I’m still pretty new to monster romance, but I enjoyed this one! Once I started, I didn’t stop and ended up reading it all at once. Pilar finding out who exactly her soulmate was, and Vic trying to fight his feelings for the witch he wants to hate. If you’re looking for a dark, quick read with a lot of heat, I’d say give this one a shot!
Um, wow! I need more! This was such a perfect mix of holiday cheer and pure spice. I flew through this so fast and kind of wish I'd slowed down just to savor it more. Derek, Wyatt, and Charlotte? Perfect. If you're in the mood for a Christmas thrill with a lot of spice, definitely check this out.
Okay, so I’ve been putting this off for a bit since I’m super new to mm romance, but this was AMAZING. Tobias and Gabriel’s story just hit so hard! Everything about them felt so real and raw—like you could actually feel their connection. They’re literally a perfect match. I’m so glad I gave this one a shot!
I am not okay. This book was just… wow. Deep on so many levels—emotionally, mentally. It hit so close to home. This one really dives into that toxic love mixed with addiction and shows the impact on everyone around them. I’m actually crying. Definitely don’t go into this expecting your typical romance. It’s not that. Check your triggers, for sure, but if you’re looking for something raw and emotional, this one is a must-read.
