ARC review.

Ooooh these two are hot contenders for my favourite book in the Crea-verse. There's just something about a broken character, and having someone who just sees them and loves them exactly how they are that scratches my brain just right

This one is definitely back into the darker themes. While there are no descriptions of actual actions in page, we can feel the pain and despair and guilt that Malin carries every day. And seeing him take back his independence and find himself wrapped this one up perfectly for me.

ARC review

Oooh, I really enjoyed this novella. I always have a soft spot for a neurospicy character; especially one who is comfortable in their quirks.

Although I don't always love the instalove trope, this one felt right. Hurt boy is the perfect match for our neurospicy boys soul? Absolutely yes please.

Another great addition to the Van Doren world, and the broader Crea-verse

ARC read.

Ooooh a lovely little horror novella to lead into the spooky season. Ghouls, demons and the occult, all surrounding two men who have questionable morals and motives.

This has an HEA sort of? Well, an HEA for a horror story anyway!

I was engrossed in this story and devoured it in a couple of hours. The writing was excellent and I was absolutely hooked on every page.

I only wish there was more to read, a novella wasn't nearly enough!
