Best Suspense Mystery Book!
No Saint was my first time read of the author and I.LOVED.IT.SOO.MUCH!! Especially since it has all of my favourite tropes in just one story. Amelia's past was hard and heartbreaking. Gabriel's morally grey MMC who Don and owns a city and has blood on his hands. The story has quite surprising turns of events out of nowhere and oh, the mystery. I was intrigued from the first page till the last page. The story has me guessing and kept on the edge of seat the whole time. The actions, secrets, plot twists and turns, spice are amazing and perfect. The ending I never saw coming!! I'll definitely be reading Ria's upcoming books especially Atlas and Enzo.

"From this night forward, I am your church. When you are lost, I am your shelter. When you are in pain, I am your elixir.
When you ache for pleasure, I am your mercy
I will burn down this pathetic world for you. Only you. You are mine, little fledgling. Always."
The first ever gothic romance i have read. The book was everything i excepted to be there. Oh gods this was soo good.
I love Lustina and the Baron POV and their story was just * chef kiss *. From the beginning to the end the story was quite thriller and suspence.
Wow. Just WOW ❤️❤️
I really want to reread badly again and can't wait for book 2. And i don't have that kind of patience.
The story was super duper mind blowing thingy.

I thank the author and peachy keenas for giving me an opportunity to read eARC.
I understood now why Enzo was a man of silence because reading the prologue of his past just broke my heart into tiny pieces.
I loved Blake because she's fiesty and strong willed women who loves reckless actions and dangers. Hawke was another MMC who's a bartender and meets Blake when she came to fight in the ring with the The Enforcer aka Enzo. Hawke has a charming and caring personality but protects and fiercely loves Enzo and Blake. The MCs has a complicated twisted past that somehow unknowingly connects all of them together in the end.
The story was amazing and has dark themes. The suspense and secrets balanced perfectly with the high tension romance. I looked forward to Enzo's story when he first showed up in No Saint and his past explained how broken he was and why he drowns in blood and violence because he refused to be a helpless boy fifteen years ago.
Hawke anchors Enzo and Blake when they drown in the darkness. The spicy scenes was chef kiss and unholy hot! Hawke and Enzo's dirty mouth! The ending was satisfying and well deserved one after all the hell they went through!
The other characters from previous books shows up and just reminded me how much I miss them so, I'll probably reread No Saint and All the broken pieces soon!

The Coven was my first read of Harper, and I have to say, I was blown away. The author's writing style is both elegant and haunting.
Willow is a character that stands out from the crowd. She is a witch who is not afraid to use her powers to protect herself and those she loves. Her feisty and badass nature is evident in the way she takes and gives no shit. She is a refreshing character who is not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for what's right. Willow's love for her little brother is one of her defining traits, and she will do anything to keep him safe. Her bravery and intelligence make her a character that you can't help but root for.
Gray, on the other hand, is a character that exudes mystery and danger. He is a demon who is devilishly handsome and cocky. Despite his vampire-like tendencies, he is always there to protect and care for Willow when danger arises. Gray's possessive and obsessive nature towards Willow is evident from the moment she punches him. He is a morally dark and unapologetic MC who is not afraid to do what it takes to get what he wants. His unhinged nature adds an element of danger to the story, making him a character that you can't help but be drawn to.
The dynamic between Gray and Willow was nothing short of amazing and alluring. The way their relationship developed throughout the book was so well-written that I found myself rooting for them from the very beginning. The plot was expertly interwoven with suspense, mystery, thriller, romance, and action, making it an addictive read that I couldn't put down.
The last few chapters left me gasping and shocked me to no end! I seriously can't wait to see and read more about Gray and Willow in the future.

One of my favourite series!
I started to reread these series again because I want to drown in the world building, amazing characters, secrets, mysteries. I love seeing Haven and Stolas together!

I finished The Throne of Broken Gods, and I must say it was an absolute masterpiece. The story was so captivating that words alone fail to express how incredible it truly was. It was a bittersweet experience for me, as the emotional journey I went through while reading it was both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
Watching Dianna cope with grief, pain, and betrayal was heartbreaking. All she wanted was to seek revenge against those who had wronged her. Despite her immense power and intelligence as a female main character, she often lashes out at others in an effort to protect what remains of her shattered heart. Dianna has locked away her emotions and allowed her thirst for vengeance to consume her, making her a formidable force to be reckoned with.
Could it be possible to love Samkiel even more than I did in TBOA? It seems that the answer is yes! He embodies all the qualities of the perfect book boyfriend. Samkiel is sweet, patient, and fiercely protective of Dianna. He refuses to let her succumb to the darkness and is determined to bring her back to her former self. Samkiel sees her for who she truly is and is not afraid of her.
I loved all the fight scenes with Samkiel and Dianna because it was freaking epic! The world building was Intriguing, woven with secrets, prophecy, mystery. Samkiel and Dianna push and pull each other limits. The tension was so thick that it could be sliced with a dagger. The long-awaited spicy scenes were finally delivered and worth the wait!
The new character POVs, particularly Cameron and Logan, added an extra layer of depth to the story and created a heartwarming found family trope. The plot was filled with surprising events that I had to highlight for future reference. The last ten chapters were a rollercoaster ride of twists and turns that left my heart racing. The cliffhanger at the end was shocking and left me with my jaw on the floor, although it wasn't as intense as the one in TBOA.
Just because the books are really loooong, please don't hesitate to pick it up. It was worth every single page. I want you guys to experience this amazing world and love to die for characters!

King's Bride was the dark fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast, set in a deliciously seductive and the world full of dangerous and dark secrets. The narrative follows the characters as they heal from past wounds and learn to accept themselves despite others' judgments.
The story was soo good I want to cry. If you ask me what I loved most about the book, it would be the vivid descriptions of world building which was mesmerizing and captivating. The relationship between Jökull and Sunnëva was slow burn filled with angst and intense and the spice was scorching hot!
I was beyond excited when the author announced the prequel books for the legends mentioned in GOTM. I was super excited to read about Jökull and Sunnëva because who doesn't love strong, reckless, stabby FMC and demanding, brooding yet has heart of gold MMC who would burn the world for her? Yes, please!
I loved the way how the story was woven with secrets, mystery, prophecies and unfathomable truths. Plus all the swoon worthy moments and the confessions! I loved all the side characters who adored and supported Sunnëva. My favourites are Aero and Tally!
I enjoyed and savoured from the first page till the end page. The last 20% was intense and left my jaw on the floor. My head span from all the twists and turns. And yes, I cried. There are some easter eggs which I highlighted for upcoming GOTM books.
I'm excited to read the next book in the Chronicles of Urn because it would be about the God of Shadows...
If you guys love beauty and the beast, slow burn, stab first question later FMC and Ice Phoenix King MMC, pick this book up!

To be honest, I was worried about Sebastian and Luna because of Tethered ending! However, Tormented presents an exceptional and captivating world-building that unravels a dark prophecy threatening the existence of both humans and vampires.
The story picks up right where book 1 left off, with Sebastian and Luna facing the consequences of his actions, which puts them in perilous situations at every turn. The Evil Queen demands their participation in deadly tournaments to prove Sebastian's loyalty, with each contest being more dangerous than the last, culminating in a fight-to-the-death game.
In addition to the thrilling action, Seb and Luna's relationship becomes more intense and passionate, with Luna's witty remarks and Seb's caring and patient nature towards his wife being particularly endearing. The romance is delivered in a toe-curling manner, with some sweet moments that had me giggling.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the story, with the suspense keeping me guessing until the very end. The cliffhanger truly impressed me, as it was much better than Tethered.
For anyone interested in a charming human/vampire, arranged marriage, and slow burn romance, I highly recommend this trilogy. The last installment is set to launch in late 2023.
