Synopsis

Welcome to Evermore Academy where the magic is dark, the immortals are beautiful, and being human SUCKS.

After spending my entire life avoiding the creatures that murdered my parents, one stupid mistake binds me to them for four years.

My penance? Become a human shadow at the infamous Evermore Academy, finishing school for the Seelie and Unseelie Fae courts.

All I want is to keep a low profile, but day one, I make an enemy of the most powerful Fae in the academy.

The Winter Prince is arrogant, cruel, and apparently also my Fae keeper. Meaning I’m in for months of torture.

But it only gets worse. Something dark and terrible looms over the academy. Humans are dying, ancient vendettas are resurfacing, and the courts are more bloodthirsty than ever.

What can one mortal girl do in a world full of gorgeous monsters?

Fight back with everything I have–and try not to fall in love in the process.

If you love reading about fated mates, enemies-to-lovers, snarky heroines, and everything Fae, then one click today and fall into this magical new series that’s being called Vampire Academy meets The Cruel Prince!

P.S. This full-length story may leave you with a book hangover.

P.P.S. This Upper YA/NA series will eventually be four books and is intended for mature audiences. It contains cursing, sexual situations, and violence.

My thoughts 💭

This was an enjoyable story with a twist. Summer is caught stealing and becoming a shadow for four years is her punishment. She is not one to take crap from anyone and I liked her. I can’t wait to read what’s going to happen in year two with Summer now that she’s aware of the truth.

Now it’s our turn to hunt the hunter.

My thoughts 💭

This was a good ending to the series… for now. Lol. I enjoyed the book but I didn’t care for Laura’s mom. She always had an excuse for why she was so crappy but Ares kind of got her told which I enjoyed. I liked how close Laura and the guys got with each other. But one thing that bothered me is a vision Maggie had in one of the earlier books and nothing happened. I was waiting for Mia to start more foolishness I guess. The series was interesting and I liked it.

Synopsis

I’ve never been the normal girl. No matter how much I wanted to pretend I was.

I know why my mom moved us around every three months and acted like we were on the most-wanted list. We’ve been running from the man that should have protected us, a man that decided he wanted my mother to himself and all the power that came with her. A man that is probably my father.

Keeping me a secret from the Infinity community can’t last much longer. I’ve already bonded with half of my Infinity. Our lives are changing, my powers are growing as is my acceptance of who I really am.

Though nothing is ever simple. One of our group is reluctant to take his place beside me. I don’t know why he’s pushing me away, but I won’t be kept in the dark anymore. Not form my Infinity, not from anyone.

My thoughts 💭

I like the characters but I feel like the story is really slow. It’s interesting how they’re together and their little arguments. This book was about them getting a house together and renovating. Nothing really happened until the end. Leon finally revealed himself and tried to kidnap Laura and her mom is back….

An outdoor junk exhibit.
A strawberry festival.
A “cockroach” motel.
Each stop brings them closer together and leaves both wishing the journey didn’t have to end.

Not one, but two men from Quen’s past swoop in, hell-bent on winning her. Can Quen recapture her magic summer by following her heart back to Drew in California?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved Quen and Drew’s story! Their chemistry was amazing! A chance meeting has Quen and Drew stopping to smell the roses and sightsee. And realize they can’t stand being apart even though it takes a little bit for them to get it together! I enjoyed this book and definitely recommend reading this!

Review: Releasing The Gods by Leia Stone & Jaymin Eve

Length: 221 pages

Synopsis

Maisy Parker isn’t asking for a lot in life. Just good friends, good fun, and finally reaching one hundred thousand followers on Instagram.

She’s well on her way to all of that, until one drunken dare ends up with a cut hand, blood sacrifices, and a thousand-year-old prison opening to reveal a giant of a man.

Finding herself with a Titan of a problem, she does the only thing that makes sense in that situation: selfie. Because he’s beyond hot, and that has got to be worth twenty thousand followers.

Only it turns out, this is no joke.

Cronus is really a Titan, and he’s set out to destroy the leader of the Greek pantheon.

When Maisy makes a colossal mistake, unleashing an untold evil on the world, Cronus is the only one that can help her.

#oops

Maisy is starting to see that she should have been less interested in Instagram and more interested in the impending end of the world.

An end she quite possibly caused—not that she’s admitting to anything just yet.

My thoughts 💭

This book was interesting! Maisey mistakenly frees a titan from his prison and they’re instantly being attacked. They end up going on the run while Cronus’ powers take time to recharge and it’s a wild journey. Maisey finds out she’s more than she thought and Cronus starts to see her as more than an ant but it takes him a while to admit it. I enjoyed the action and chemistry between the characters. Their banter was hilarious. I can’t wait to find out what’s coming next!

Review: Cold Queen by K. Webster

Length: 201 pages

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

In a cold, empty castle, a young queen is dying.

Weak. Fragile. Disgraced.

But Queen Whitestone is not alone in her final days.

She has her beloved sister.

Until a wicked king rides onto her land.

Arrogant. Insufferable. Demanding.

King Bloodsun has come with an offer…peace in trade for a bride.

He wants the princess.

The fiery king won’t take no for an answer.

He vows to keep the cold queen captive until she gives in to his demands.

A queen bows for no one, though.

Not even when she’s frail and fading away.

She’ll tap into her strength, protecting the only family she has left.

The king is about to learn why they call her the cruel one…

My thoughts 💭

I enjoyed Cold Queen! Elzira’s father told her to trust no one and I didn’t realize how solid that advice to her was until the end. I was expecting it to be one person betraying her but it wasn’t only one! Ryke comes to the cold queen trying to make an alliance to get access to lands and he gets far more than he bargained for. He uncovers that she’s been slowly being poisoned and helps her heal and gets himself a cold queen for his efforts. Their chemistry was amazing and I definitely recommend this well written book!

Review: The Boss’s Mistress by Scott Wylder

Length: 43 pages

Rating:⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

What did I do when I found out my new boss was my ex from college?

I almost chucked my new career out the window, that’s what.

He broke my trust in college when he broke my heart.

We had a terrible breakup that gave me trust issues for life.

Now I am alone in the big city and rich, sexy Kit’s is the only familiar face in town.

And he seems to be interested in re-lighting the flames of our relationship.

Even though my mind tells me to run away, my heart tells me to stay.

People can change. Right?

Doesn’t everyone deserve a second chance?

Kit is determined to do everything in his power to win me back.

With our past breakup looming large in my mind, it’s not going to be easy.

Will our past and my inability to trust, drive us apart?

My thoughts 💭

This was an okay read for me. It felt like there was barely any interaction between Lisa and Kit. He had cheated on her in college so it would’ve been nice if he’d had to grovel a little bit before it’s skipped ahead to 2 years later then ending. I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t this. It felt like a summary then a little conversation between the main characters.

Review: Stone by Theodora Taylor

Length: 292 pages

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

My ruthless enforcer is broken, dangerous, and determined to claim me…

The first time I meet Stone Ferraro, it’s hate at first sight, and then he kidnaps me. On his mafia boss’s orders, but still…not a great first impression.

The second time I meet him, he calls me a derogatory name, and I knee him in the balls. Not exactly the sweet social worker look I was going for, but hey, it had to be done.

The third time we meet, it’s over my ex-boyfriend’s—his identical twin brother’s—grave, and he shocks me with a mind-melting kiss.

The fourth time we meet, he takes one look at my belly filled with his dead brother’s baby and declares me his.

His to marry, his to take, his in every way.

The Ferraro crime family’s most ruthless enforcer is broken, dangerous, and here to stay.

And our story only gets crazier–and hotter–from there.

My thoughts 💭

Naima and Stone’s story was crazy but good. Naima takes off for a fresh start away from the mob after her ex’s/ baby’s father funeral. Stone decided to check on her and discovered she’s pregnant with his brothers baby and she’s his. He pushes his way into her life while taking care of her and it was weird at first with how closed off he was except for asking her if she needed wifeing every night lol. As both of their problems came to light their relationship got better and I liked their chemistry. They went from marriage of convenience to love and it was sweet. Stone was a provider and protector while Naima was a sweetheart. This was an enjoyable read and I can’t wait to read the next book!

Review: Beyond Measure by Jane Henry

Synopsis

I’m the girl no one wants.

Scarred beyond repair and locked away, I’m tainted and tarnished.

Unworthy of friendship, love, or hope.

But I was born into Bratva life, and my life is not my own.

I’m ripped from my home and forced to marry a man I’ve never met, sight unseen.

He’s ruthless, possessive, and fierce…

My husband.

My thoughts 💭

I enjoyed this book. Caroline’s brother is in debt and when it’s suggested that he marry her off to clear his debt he does. For a moment I though her brother cared and was trying to get her away from her tormentor but I was proven wrong lol. Caroline is married off to Tomas and they navigate their way to their happy ever after. Luckily Tomas had friends who persuaded him to at least try to woo his new wife and it worked out well. This was a nice read, I recommend giving it a try.
