Jamie is an absolute cinnamon roll with a spicy edge. Just what Luc needs in his life.

I don't usually go for villain redemption arcs, but Luc and Jamie had me rooting for a HEA from the start.

Pulled in from the start, enjoyed the various twists and turns, and didn't anticipate that ending.

I did not find it scary, but the plot and characters were compelling and interesting.

An enjoyable take on the haunted house trope.

The final book in the trilogy, wrapping up Sara and Jarik's beginning.

Enjoyable characters and an interesting world. I hope the author continues with more books in this setting, but hopefully with an increase in length.

Quick and dirty indeed. ✌🏻

The first of Trilogy that ends in a cliffhanger, though not a suspenseful one.

Dark, spicy, and just a fun read overall.

I'm definitely going to look for more by this author.
