Mourning Wings was a dark and spicy novella that left me wanting more.

The story was so engaging. I would have gladly listened to a full length novel version so I could spend more time with these characters, and learn more about the dark and twisted goings on. 

I was lucky enough to get an ALC and I'm so glad I got to hear this story while I read it. 

Avery Caris and Valentina Ortiz were so good together bringing all the intrigue and spice to life in the best ways. They did not shy away from the darkness or the spice and really elevated the story to new levels. 

If you're looking for a quick read/listen that keeps you guessing you'll love this one for sure.

A dark paranormal romance with a 90s twist.

The Depraved Prince was a beautifully dark and compelling story that took a new turn every time you thought you knew what was going to happen next.

I had the privilege of getting an ALC of the audiobook. Joe Arden and Janine Granda really gave life and energy to these characters. Each and every character had a distinct voice, and both narrators were able to convey so much emotional depth often in just a few words of dialouge. 

Check those trigger warnings but I'd definitely recommend this one to all the Spike and Damon girlies out there. You're gonna love Hayden Drago.
