You need to add it to favorites or whatever list so you can grab it. 

This is a very adult and very DARK book, so it is not for all readers. There is nothing kid/animal related to the horrors found in this book, but if you have any other triggers you were warned. There is alot of violence, but the revenge served is oh so sweet and sayisfying. 

10/10 recommend for anyone wanting some horror/dark stuff in their tbr.

I love a good post-apocalyptic/dystopian read. I signed up for Watchers, but decided to snag Breeders on KU first and am so glad I did. 

Breeders set the tone and base for what is going on in the world. Watchers continued it. I love the little details that were tossed in from the first book…like the door handle and movie. 

This series packs on the breeder trope hard so if that’s not your thing then consider yourself warned. 

I loved Syl/Bash(Ashton)’s journey and how protective and possessive he was with her. It was interesting to see where they started and how it ended up by the end of the book. The way the bond started was so different from the couple in the first book finding their bond! Also loved the growth of Jace in this too and hope he gets a HEA. 

I am not sure what is meant for the series but am glad I stumbled upon this opportunity to read it and will keep my eye out for more from this world because I am invested and finding myself also loving the shifters in this series.

If you mixed Bridgerton time/vibes with the time traveling romance and drama of Outlander you’d get- Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Right Viscount. 


It is a hilarious, heartwarming story with slow burn, steamy romance. I couldn’t get enough of this!! Elle had me giggling so much. So happy with the ending too!

This was such a thrilling read! I did not expect it to go the way that it did, but was so satisfied by the ending. Everything came full circle. It flowed easily and kept my interest the whole time. If you enjoy mystery/suspense/thriller you are sure to like this one!
