Synopsis

Four sexy vampires. One mortal-born witch. An ancient secret that will test them all.

I’m not a very good witch. It’s not my fault. Being born a mortal sucks and my black cat familiar follows me around like a security blanket. All the other coven brats make fun of me.

My vampires don’t seem to mind. They pose as my mentors and get Aunt Sandra off my back. My initiation into the Royal Covens is only three days away. They’re supposed to teach me how to hide what I really am: a reincarnation of some ancient and powerful witch. I think they’re just telling me that to get in my pants.

What my vampires don’t hide is their hunger for me, both for my blood and my body. That dangerous kind of thrill is going to get me into serious trouble.

Captivated: Royal Covens Book 1 is a medium-burn reverse harem romance and part of a 3-book series.

My Thoughts 💭

This book is pretty interesting but the cliffhanger has me feeling kind of meh since Eve is powerful but was easily subdued. Other than that I thought the book was well written and interesting! I enjoyed how she interacts with her men….and Bast not sure if he’s one of the men but he’s a ancient Egyptian god so…. lol

Synopsis

The truce between the vampires and the shifters is long over. So when the two factions stumble upon a lost fae warrior who has no idea what she is, all hell breaks loose.

Charity hasn’t had it easy. Growing up in a bad part of Chicago, left by her mother at 16, she’s a survivor. So when she gets a scholarship to a good college out in California, she thinks all her dreams have come true.

Instead she falls head first into a nightmare.

At a posh party she doesn’t belong, she gets the shock of her life: vampires and shifters are real! Magic is real. And she is anything but a mundane poor kid just trying to make it.

Warrior runs in her blood. If only she knew how to use it.

Suddenly, she is trapped between two magical super powers – a cunning elder vampire who wishes to use her for her blood ties and maybe tie her to the bed, and a sexy alpha shifter who will protect her at all costs.

Her life of surviving never could’ve prepared her for this. And if she doesn’t learn to harness the fae magic running through her blood, she’ll be imprisoned forever.

Action, humor, and romance – we’re going back to the DDVN World!

My Thoughts 💭

Devon and Charity fought like crazy but I loved them together! They always had each others back. I loved how family like the pack was…except for yasmine. I can’t wait to find out what comes next for them!

Synopsis

From the moment I scent her, I have to have her underneath me.

The human female spins and runs straight into my chest.

“Oh!” she says but then she stops, frozen as she stares up at me. “Hi.”

I, too, am stopped in place.

This female is nothing like the others I have seen. She is petite, with long flowing black hair. Her features are as foreign to me as any humans, but for some reason I find her face pleasing.

Before I can think better of it, my tongue sneaks out over my lips to scent my surroundings.

But all I can smell is her.

And I’ve never scented anything so delicious in my life.

MINE.

It’s all but a convulsion that tears through my body.

What? No! No, this cannot be happening!

My denials are weak, though.

Far louder is the cry: Mine, mine, mine, mine, MINE, MINE.

My Thoughts 💭

This was a fun and sweet read with a little bit of drama! Juliet and Shak were so adorable! Shak has been looked down upon his whole life and feels like he can prove himself with his new mission. He is totally unprepared for meeting his mate, Juliet. They have an instant attraction and they were so awkward and sweet. Juliet is with a jerk but when he disappears she decides to focus on the hot guy she keeps running into. Shak has accidental success with his mission which freaks Juliet out and then there’s kidnaping and then a little treason and a happy ending. I can’t wait to read Enzo and Ana’s story!

SYNOPSIS

Chicago has never been more fun, or dangerous …

Sent away with his identical twin to get their wild ways under control, Beni Guzzi expects nothing to change. Same crap, new city, right? But if the boss of the Chicago mob can’t set the principes straight, then nothing will.

And then she rolls into town.

Stuck in a job that seems intent to keep her working behind a desk, August Rivera hopes a trip to the windy city for an assignment will make the magazine finally give her a spread. But getting to see her best friend, well, that’s just a bonus.

And then she sees him from across a club.

With a gang causing trouble for the Outfit, and a Capo’s crew in shambles, Beni has a million other things to focus on except the beautiful New Yorker who keeps finding her way into his bed. The thing is, when he’s with August, everything is better—easier.

Falling in love while handling family drama and mafia affairs is anything but simple … and in this business? It only takes a single mistake to lose it all.

That lesson can’t be taught, and it always comes too late.

NOTE: Beni is a standalone novel within The Guzzi Legacy series. It can be read as such.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love the Guzzi family!! The wild twins are sent away to force them to get their act together. Working with someone else worked out well for Beni but not so much for his twin Bene. Beni and August was lust at first sight that grew into love and I enjoyed every moment of it! They both kept each other on their toes. I definitely recommend this series! I can’t wait to read Bene’s story.

Review: Fallen Academy by Leia Stone

Length:350 pages

Published: August 17, 2019

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

Brielle Atwater isn’t sure of much, but she knows a few things:

1. Having black wings is not normal.

2. Selling her soul to the demons was a mistake.

3. Lincoln Grey is the biggest *** she’s ever met … but not falling in love with him might prove impossible.

When angels fell from the sky to war with the demons that ravaged Earth, their combined powers infected humanity. Now, the humans are assigned one of two fates, being either demon gifted or angel blessed.

After wings sprout from Brielle’s back at her awakening ceremony, she’s sure she’s an angel blessed celestial. It’s not until she sees black wings that she realizes something is terribly wrong.

Having sold her contract at a young age to save her father’s life means she should be bound for Tainted Academy. That is, until a fallen angel unexpectedly fights for her to be accepted into Fallen Academy, the elite school for those that inhabit Angel City.

She’s immediately matched with her impossibly handsome celestial teacher, Lincoln Grey. Laying eyes on him, her first thought is that her time at the academy might actually be fun, but this theory quickly fades when she and Lincoln clash on day one. To further prove her admission into Fallen Academy is cursed, the entire school is thrown into chaos when an Abrus demon reveals that he knows Brielle’s secret. Now, above all else, Lincoln must fight to protect her.

To his surprise, the only thing more difficult than trying to save her … is trying not to fall for her.

My Thoughts 💭

The book was interesting enough to finish reading but I don’t think I’ll continue with the series. I liked Bri in the beginning but she became annoying after her feelings for Lincoln came out. I wasn’t even sure he was interested in her for a while.

Synopsis

Wealth and power make them untouchable.

The monarchs of Trinity Academy.

Falcon Reyes.

With a sharp, intelligent look, he reeks of arrogance wrapped in an icy layer of indifference. A life of luxury has left him with the notion that everything is attainable.

Power. Wealth. Status.

He’s a god and I a mere mortal.

He’s Jupiter, and I am Mercury.

There’s so much power in this man.

He has the kind of influence most people can’t even begin to imagine.

And me… I’m an eighteen-year-old girl who managed to make him lose control.

I’m the girl who showed him there’s a kaleidoscope of colors outside the high walls of his black and white world.

Please note:

This is Book 1 in The Trinity Academy Series.

All 3 books are interconnected, and some plots are carried over to the next 2 books in this series.

My Thoughts 💭

This was an amazing book! This story had me hooked from beginning to end! I loved how Layla brightens Falcon’s world. They were absolutely adorable! I loved the other characters as well and can’t wait to read their stories. I definitely recommend if you enjoy a fast pace romance!

Review: Sinful As Hell by G. Bailey

Synopsis

This academy is like no other…

My name is Lexi Cameron and until three weeks ago, I thought I was human.

It was all a lie.

I’m a demon, and I’m signed up to attend The Demon Academy.

I soon find out it’s the darkest, cruellest school around and not many survive a full year, let alone three.

Welcome to DA, where unless you are a high demon, you can expect to be treated like trash.

My plan?

To be invisible and get the hell out of this academy, but it doesn’t work out that way…

I have one angel teacher trying to get rid of me, the students of DA making sure I know what a demon can do and I’m not going to survive Demon Academy for long.

That is until the Lucifer sons see me.

They want to break me,

they love to play games with my heart,

and even if I wanted to run from them…I can’t.

I’m apparently their mate.

And just like their father’s home, hell can’t be escaped.

RH Dark Bully Academy Romance. 18+

My Thoughts 💭

I am loving this story! This was well written with secrets and I can’t wait for what’s coming next! Lexi doesn’t want a mate but I’m pretty sure she has 4 of them. With a lying liar that lies and schemes claiming she’s only his! Nick and Claus was sweet in their weird way. Javier kind of disappointed me. Morgan is kind of hot and cold. I’m impatiently waiting for the next book!

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

After spending the vast majority of my life lonely, I came to this town to find answers about my mother, and instead, stumbled upon a secret society full of monsters I never knew existed outside of dark tales.

Now I’ve built a sanctuary, gotten in the middle of an ages-old feud between various monster factions, and somehow ended up with an ancient, queen-like tyrant targeting me, because my life sucks sometimes.

I don’t know how these things keep happening to me. They just do.

Tensions keep climbing, and everyone’s on edge while waiting and watching to see what Idun Neopry does next.

In the midst of all that, the secrets spill, the lies unravel, and the half-truths finally come to full fruition. It’s been one hellish snowball ride to make it this far, and I’m mostly ready for anything that comes next.

That’s a lie, actually. But I’d like for it to be the truth. For now, hoping for the best is all I have. Well, I guess that’s a lie too. Hope’s not all I have.

I also have a Van Helsing, who can slay a small army without wrinkling his shirt. Then there’s a Morpheous, who can toy with my mind in ways I never imagined. I’ve got a wolf, who makes it a goal to keep me human-ish. And there’s a vampire, who enjoys killing and stabbing.

Ancient alphas, old vendettas, super-complicated histories, mass-death threats, and a lot of personal baggage. That’s become a Tuesday morning coffee break to me by now.

Like I said, my life sucks sometimes.

My Thoughts 💭

This was an amazing end to Violet and her monstars story! Her monster was definitely the biggest and baddest but she was still sweet and I loved it! When all the secrets were being told I was in shock. This amazingly written story had me hooked from beginning to end! I’ll definitely be reading this again!!

Synopsis

When I woke up this morning, I never expected my first massage client of the day to be notorious Boston mob boss Walker McManus. Nor did I expect the dangerously attractive criminal to offer fifty thousand dollars to give me the massage, instead. The surprises keep coming, too. Because Walker isn’t satisfied with one session. Oh, no. He wants an entire lifetime of them. With me. And he’s not accustomed to hearing the word no…

My Thoughts 💭

This was a hot and sweet instalove romance! I enjoyed the chemistry between Meadow and Walker. I definitely recommend if you enjoyed fast paced stories with a hot alpha male and a sassy woman.

Review: Cruel Magic by Eva Chase

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

I thought I was ordinary Rory Franco: college student, artist, and over-protected daughter. Then mages barge into my family’s home, murder my parents, and whisk me off to a university known to the rest of magical society as Villain Academy.

It turns out I’m Persephone Bloodstone, the long lost heir to one of the five royal families of dark magic. I’m destined to learn how to manipulate the world with fear—and to stand beside the four other scions: the scorching-hot, arrogant young men who rule this school.

Unfortunately, I’m having trouble locating my supposedly wicked skills. I don’t want to use a power that feeds off people’s pain, but I have to tap into my talents fast if I want to survive. I’ve got no time to grieve for my family. The students here are even more vicious than the teachers, and my fellow scions are worst of all.

The four of them crush anyone who doesn’t kowtow. No way will I bow to any villain, no matter how brutally alluring. They can turn on the charm or tear me down, but they can’t break me, even if I can barely get my magic working.

They’ve never met anyone like me before. I don’t care about ruling. I just want to avenge the people I loved.

It doesn’t matter what kind of power runs through my veins. I’m taking Villain Academy down.

*Cruel Magic is the first in a university-age paranormal academy series. Expect magical villainy, a tough heroine who bends to no one’s will, a dollop of steam, and a slow-burn reverse harem romance where there’ll be no choosing required.*

My Thoughts 💭

This book wasn’t for me and I normally enjoy a good bully romance. None of these guys have any good qualities. Connar has you thinking he may be in Rory’s corner but he’s not because his best friend Malcom might have a crush on Rory but has treated her horribly after watching the only parents she’s known be murdered in front of her. They’re all cowards but especially Declan. Jude is a jerk. Rory is awesome and I’d love for her to wield her magic and have them all on their knees. I’m not sure I’ll read the next one.
