Ruin Me Slowly by Emily Klepp

dark emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Emily, Emily, Emily, every single fabulous time, I am drawn into the stories written like I’m watching it in real time. Our MC’s have some trauma going on here for sure. Ava being the main character we are really focused on. Now Ava overcomes this trauma pretty quickly but in her way. She finds this great new family along the healing path which turns out to be good for everyone. All of our MC’s definitely needed each other. I loved the storyline, it is a book you may want to check your trigs before reading, and if you choose to continue then I have no doubt you will be just as sucked in as I was. I do wish this book was a little longer but then again that’s the selfish side of me coming out, and overall it works just the way it is. Thank you Ms. Emily Klepp for another amazing read! 

Santa's Sinful Secret by Fortuna Lux

dark emotional funny lighthearted tense fast-paced

5.0

I am short, but never have I been called “little Elf” before, so this was kind of a funny little break that I needed. It was a quick read giving me a breath from adulting. I was more than happy to read this and will probably be reading this again. Make sure you take some time away from others so those facial expressions don't let people question your madness. The characters were great, the spice was spicing, and the twisted little storyline was awesome (and fun). I only have one complaint about this novella, and yes I understand it is a novella, but DAMN, I want more. 

Widow's Wear Black by Runa Nelson

adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

4.0

A very quick book that moves you from one place to the next in a flash. Insta-love and unhinged relationship, which for me says it all. Fenix and Kyree are something else. Nothing short of obsession with this one. Always one for a traumatic past, this one did not disappoint. Runa Nelson has done it again and I was very happy to be here for it. I can not wait to see what she comes up with next! 

Twist Me by S.K. Pryntz

dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

5.0

What the what? This book was amazeballs, like I was so stuck on lock down and Do Not Disturb! These characters had me. Goliath is everything, unhinged, obsessive and oh so possessive towards Ezello. He has some family who we get to enjoy or maybe should say Ezello gets to enjoy. The backstories and storyline in general were phenomenal. SK Pryntz is top tier for me and has not disappointed me yet. I can not wait for book 2, coming soon I hope!!

 

Sons of Hellfire by N.Owens

challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Unhinged, intense, insane, psychopathic, smex and more smex. Ms. N Ownes always gives me what I want and she did not disappoint with this one. Having to overcome some trauma in her life, Ali becomes a bad@$$ force. Along the way we get 3 really hot guys you won’t want to take your eyes off. This is a rollercoaster of a ride and I am not getting off. This book definitely earns a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book and get off this ride. 

Midnight Daffodil by Caty Lee

challenging dark emotional hopeful lighthearted sad tense fast-paced

5.0

So much in common with our FMC Olivia, well maybe not so much with the spicy parts, but the complete a$$hat of an “ex” part was spot on. Ms. Olivia definitely shows us how to grow and we are here for it all. The much stronger version of her is better for sure and to have met such an attractive man in the process is even better. Luke and Olivia were absolutely perfect, however; Matt can easily be left in a cage with a t-rex and I wouldn't shed a tear. This book is intense and normally I would not care who reads the trigs but I will say the subject matter is heavy so maybe you might want to. Now can we talk about that cliffhanger? Come on, what the hell. So yes, I need more and will be checking often for the next book to make its way to me so I can calm down. 

Sinning for Santa by Sarah J.D., Sarah J.D.

Completely ate this book up. Sinning for Santa has a whole new meaning for the holidays. I was so impressed by these characters and how much we get to learn about their personalities. Development, absolutely, this book will keep you so engaged and wanting more. Every aspect  screams 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ read that I thoroughly enjoyed and might just have to read this again and again. 

Finding Secrets by Ivy Darling

dark emotional hopeful mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

This book is one that will suck you in. I could not put this down. I read it from front to back in less than a day because I was not moving. I laughed, I got a little angry and I got some aha moments. I would say to check those trigs but since I thoroughly enjoyed each one, I won't. You will want to be there for every page and will be needing to know what's next here. The storyline was great, love cults “they are interesting, okay”. Each character with a different personality and some that you think you know, you don't. For sure Ms. Ivy Darling gave me a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ exciting read and I want more. 

All Hallow's Lament: A Lover's Lament Halloween Novella by Nyx Graves

dark emotional hopeful mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

Finally, I got the chance to squeeze this one in and am so glad I did. It is book 2, following “Lovers Lament” and I am here for it all. We follow up on Evelyn and Dante from book one and I still love these two characters. Now we get to see their love blossom even more with their daughter in the mix. I loved that we got a glimpse of Kneji and Rook in this book and boy was I delighted, that right there was worth the read, that right there! Overall, yes yes yes, this book gets 5 smexy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’s, even with all the twisted (i love twisted) aspects! Thank you Nyx Graves for an amazing novella, I can't wait for more. 

The Red Room by Lexi Gray

dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense medium-paced

4.0

BDSM, yes please. I know the scene very well and was here for the ride. I like both of our main characters equally here. Henley is our MMC, a typical MC biker who happens to be part of a BDSM club, (I know, that's not typical 😂) who sets his sights on the socially awkward FMC Elodie. Elodie happens to be a V-angel but daddy wants to sell off that Vcard of hers to the highest bidder. Enter Henley, who gets what he wants and more. (read and you will find out) Family drama, betrayal, obsession, possession and smex, this book is great. The characters, storyline and the writing style all make this book really really good. I would like to have seen more of that chemistry we saw ear;ier near the end but I am hoping to see that more in the future books. I really can't wait to see more and see where else this series takes us.
