RAVENS DAGGERS by Alena Jane

adventurous dark emotional hopeful sad tense fast-paced

5.0

This is a why choose dark romance with 3 so smexy MMC’s. How do you get 3 hot steamy men to help you through some pretty traumatic stuff? Well, you show them just how bad@$$ you are, like our FMC Raven. Raven, the incredibly talented street MC racer, needs some help modifying her ride and more. Trauma and past come to a head in this one and it's a ride you won't forget. This 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ book by: Alena Jane is captivating and a non stop, can't stop, wont stop read. I definitely will be reading this one again and again. 

Unholy Night by J.S. Cannon

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

This has to be the shortest novella I have ever read. 4 chapters, yes, 4, maybe an hour of your time to take a break and read this enticing, twisted, smexy Christmas treat.

“The first time I laid eyes on her, I knew it was game over”. That right there is what sets the stage and got me hooked and it worked. Belle is our raven haired FMC, the object of desire for our MMC Cole. He watches her and she eventually feels it. I know I hope I never have to hear the song “Jingle Bell Rock” ever again after reading this. The book is amazing and the small amount of characters we get is awesome. J.S. Cannon, I want to thank you for giving us a great breaktime novella. This is definitely a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ read for anyone who likes dark stalker romance and needs to just refresh.

 

The Haunting of Aspendale Manor by Kenna Bellrae

adventurous dark emotional funny lighthearted mysterious sad tense medium-paced

4.0

Asylums are my thing, so I had to get my hands on this and I am so happy to have had the chance to read it. Blair our FMC is only at the manor for one thing, her job. She meets Heath, our MMC who becomes instantly infatuated with her. From there this relationship blossoms in a few ways. Meanwhile we have the ghostly companionship who watches them, really watches them, and the twisty surprises grow from there. I liked this book's storyline very much, it could be a bit longer but then maybe there will be more to come. The characters were amazing and well played out. I do want to read more from Kenna Bellrae after reading this 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ book for sure! 

SKhorpion: Splatterpunk horror by E.P. Writer

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense slow-paced

4.0

 How do you live a normal cookie cutter life when all you want to do is unalive people? Well Zayne is the one struggling with this desire to its core. Can this 18 year old young man make it work? This book may not be for everyone, this is an incredibly detailed look into the mind of a serial unaliver’s mind; twisted and totally unhinged. Remember this is fiction and definitely a good read overall. I love splatterpunk and this one was pretty well written. I do hope there is more to come because it did leave me on a cliff ready to jump. 

DECEPTION by BJ Alpha

dark emotional hopeful lighthearted tense fast-paced

5.0

When I started reading dark romance, BJ Alpha was my first. “Possession” of course and after reading that I had to read “Daddy’s Addiction”. Both of these books popped my DR cherry and I couldn't be happier. Along comes THIS, “Deception”, OMG I loved this book. I would strongly suggest you read all three books in order; however they can be read as standalones. 

Rocco is everything for me, his obsession and possession of Hallie takes the cake. How much smexier can this man be? Young? Yes, but oh so determined non the less. He is hell bent on making this woman his and he does. The age-gap is WOW and completely reversed but very yummy. This storyline was phenomenal and the characters were scrumptious. BJ Alpha is and will continue to be one of the best mafia dark romance writers around. 5 freaking smexy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’s for me!

 

Forget Me Not by Emily Klepp

challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense fast-paced

5.0

 This book was amazing. I don't know how to feel right now because of all the emotions going through me. I have so much empathy towards not one but a few characters here, but our FMC Audrey, oh Audrey, I need to hug that chick so tight. The strength and ability to overcome so much betrayal, and surprise that no one should ever wake up to is top tier reading material. I was so happy she got her “real” new family and I am so happy to have read this 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ book. Emily Klepp does it every time! Bra gjort!

What the Actual Fu(k did I just read? “It was that good”. I feel if I have to question my sanity , then it's a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me. 

This book is bursting off the page with; Torture, Gore, Emotions, Smex and more Smex all written with o much detail. The plot is everything and more. Billy and Lucy, oh Billy and Lucy. They were perfect. Marla York gave me everything I needed in this twisted rollercoaster ride. I love love love it.

 

Burning Truths by C.M. Nyx

challenging dark emotional hopeful sad tense medium-paced

4.0

This story had me, it took a minute to get me fully engaged but when I was, I was so in. So many mouth dropping moments; torture, surprise, and hanging me on the ledge ending. This storyline is great, the characters were amazing and the all together feels were explosive. C.M Nyx didn’t disappoint on any of the fear play she writes and I mean it’s pretty much a given. Thank you Ms. Nyx for this great 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Under Their Watch by Emily Klepp

adventurous dark emotional hopeful lighthearted mysterious sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Book 2 in the Protector Duet and I am here for it all. Book one was amazing BTW. We followed Anika and her traumatic past/present and her new found family. Now we have Rhea on her own journey needing to have some love and caring in her life. She, Jace and Quinn were amazing characters with an amazing storyline. The story really came together and I was so excited to see book one characters come into play here, it was phenomenal. This book gave me all the feels/emotions as book one and in most of Ms. Emily Klepp’s books. Again this 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ read is spot on and I was so happy to be here for the adventure. 

The Pretty Savage by L.K. Reid

adventurous dark emotional funny hopeful mysterious tense medium-paced

4.5

This is the first book of St. Vasili’s Academy and I was ready. Yes this book does end on a that left me shook, needless to say I need book two already. You get all the dark, twisted, pretty mouth dropping feels, as you should. Vega our FMC is supposed to unalive the son of his employer's enemy which happens to be our MMC Adrian. There are some definite twists here but in the end you know what happens (exit to, SMEX). So basically this is a great read. The storyline is good and very well thought out through the scenes and not just the smexy ones, but like the emotions for me and the characters were oh so there. I loved the characters and this 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 read was an amazing start. I just can't wait for book two now.
