OMG! I couldn’t put this book down and devoured it staying up until 4:30 am to finish it!

Lux and her best friend Bree go to college. They stumble across some weird happening on the beach with these guys dressed in dark robes. They are caught watching and only asked to leave immediately. 

The next morning Lux gets an invitation to a party for a secret society and she is chosen. 

Her best friend goes missing. 

The 4 powerful guys think they know Lux’s secret but she doesn’t know that they know. 

Lux gets plowed by a mysterious vehicle after she’s running from Roman the guy that chose her. 

That’s where book 1 ends…on a nail biting cliffhanger that has left me wanting more!

Thank You Evelyn for this dark, mysterious, and delicious read!

Tegan is the curvy FMC. She lost her parents in a tragic fire so she moved to small hometown where her best friend has laid down some roots. She moves into this house that needs a lot of work. Shes agreed to help work on it instead of paying rent. Enter Cole, sexy guy that has also been hired to work on the house. Except this sexy guy is a murderer! Bed of Roses has a mystery intertwined into this story that kept me guessing. The spicy scenes were about a 3 - 4 on the spice scale. Not too much but enough. If you like mystery and romance and some ghostly scenes, you will love this book.

This book was exciting but think I need to read it instead of listening to the audiobook. There was a lot to take in.

Where to start…Journey West murdered a man to save her sister. Turns out it was a member of the Viotto family.  Because she committed that murder, the head of the family takes her and she is made. She’s a spy for a monster so that her sister can be put on the transplant list. 

There are 3 guys that are obsessed with Journey. They have made sure she has the needed food while they waited to be able to make her theirs. 

However, the monster has many secrets;  has sold Journey and her sister to another monster. 

This book is dark and bloody but the love story between Journey and the boys makes my heart tremble.  

It ends on a cliffhanger.

Fae Champion by Lucía Ashta

From the beginning of this novella, I was drawn into the story. Calliope is a beautiful girl that has lived a miserable life with people who were supposed to care for her after her parents died when she was young. Alyx is a man that was made immortal due to being taken over by a demon and is obsessed with the FMC. One day they finally meet…what happens next? I can’t wait to find out what this author creates. So many possibilities with this story and excited that more is coming…hopefully soon.
