Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

Maliki

Vicious.

Nyx

Chaotic.

Maliki + Nyx

Vicious. Chaotic. Gods.

What once was sweet has turned vile.

I covet death.

He thrives in darkness.

Our sacrilegious desires run rampant.

Our maleficent demons demand to be sated.

Mercy finds no refuge in our hearts.

Insanity takes courtship within our minds.

Together, we embark on a path saturated in blood and rotting corpses.

We won’t stop until we find what we’re looking for.

If we must set this world on fire, we’ll do it and dance in the flames.

When this is over, you’ll hear the crows singing our names.

My Thoughts 💭

OMG Maliki and Nyx are so crazy and I absolutely loved them! They are just as crazy as the first generation and it makes me so happy 😂! Maliki and Nyx are both damaged but they fit amazingly well together! I actually loved them more than I thought I would! The twists and secrets have me soooo ready for the next book! If you’ve made it this far with the badlands series you already know what’s up! These characters are crazy, broken and viscous but we love them anyway.

Stalk Her by Ker Dukey!

Length: 145 pages

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

DUKEY’s DARK, DELIGHTS.

STALK HER

Ever get that feeling you’re being watched?

You probably are.

Her sad eyes.

Her thick lips.

Her long dark hair.

Her quickening of breath.

Her hurried footsteps.

Her undiluted fear.

The anxiety a woman has when she knows she’s being followed does something to the sadistic animal inside me.

We all have issues, mine just run a little deeper than most.

My sister and I had our childhood tarnished by an abusive parent. We grew up two very different breeds of our mothers’ creation.

When I discover the beautiful, yet broken, Alice Young. She’s seeking advice, a place to unburden her thoughts.

What she gets is a dangerous, callous predator who wants to quench his thirst with her tears.

My precious, Alice, feels so alone, but she’s not alone. I’m watching her.

Erik Ross feeds on the fear of others.

Alice Young may prove to be too damaged, for even his appetite.

My Thoughts 💭

Well this was a interesting dark read. I’m not even sure what to say😂 Alice turned out to be far more broken than I originally thought. Erik is not to be crossed…at all. He starts off obsessed and stalking Alice and wanting to take care of her. She seemed like she needed saving but she really didn’t. When the truth about Alice really came out I was shocked! That twist just threw me but it was a good read.

Hiding in Ocean’s Isle after being suspended from the force for two months, my hot, feisty, neighbor is the last person I should be interested in.
But the next thing I know, we keep running into each other, which lead to some pretty intense sexually-loaded moments.
I’m not supposed to fall for her, especially knowing I’ll be going home in a week to face the mess I left behind. It’s just supposed to be a mind-blowing one-night stand.
Then I walk into the precinct, and I meet the new psychologist. I sure as hell didn’t see it coming, and now I have to bare my soul to the woman who should’ve remained a fantasy.
Keeping her at a distance is next to impossible, but knowing her life might be in danger if I give into the growing attraction between us, I have no choice but to keep pretending to be the playboy joker everyone thinks I am.
But will I be able to keep resisting the powerful pull between us?
Will I be able to hide her from the man who swore to destroy my life the way I destroyed his?
Will I ever survive the consequences of that fatal night?

Gypsy Moon by Kristy Cunning!

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

Imagine searching your whole life for answers, and then finally finding them. A part of you is excited to know the truth. Another part of you is damaged, because you realize why it was so hard to learn answers.

Secrets aren’t usually very pretty.

In the midst of all of it, the four monsters I’ve gotten too attached to are about to be reunited with the one woman they all once loved so deeply that they sacrificed everything to have an eternity with her.

They said they hated Arion, but I never see hatred when they’re around him. I see frustration, resentment, anger, and pain, but never hatred.

They say they hate Idun, but until she returns, I won’t know how true that really is. All the pretty monsters don’t have simple emotions, because everyone has lived so long that it’s gotten entirely too complicated to feel anything too much.

The only way to figure out what happens next is to stop stalling and start doing, while silently hoping it doesn’t cost me everything I never knew I wanted…until it landed in my lap.

My life sucks so hard sometimes.

My Thoughts 💭

I’m really enjoying this series! I need the next book now! You get some questions answered and by the end you have more questions lol. Arion finally gets his turn! Arion is talking about remaining neutral which is frustrating. It makes you wonder what is going to happen when he’ll have to pick a side. How are we supposed to believe he’s falling for Violet when he says things like that? That just makes him look like he’s still in love with Idun.

I don’t like Marta…at all. She just seems manipulative and shady.

Zoe, Taras and sweet Emma! I loved them. Zoe comes to the states to be Emma’s nanny. She becomes close with her charge and lists for her mafia boss employer. Taras tried to keep things casual but their true feelings come out and it’s so cute. Taras still has scars from his first failed marriage. Zoe helps him see he’s not as much of a devil as he thinks he is but only a little bit and she loves him anyway. I enjoyed this mafia romance and I definitely recommend it!

Excerpt
Tonight,
Zoe wasn’t wearing the halter-neck dress. She appeared in figure-hugging jeans
and a blue cotton blouse that set off the topaz in her beautiful irises. After
declining a glass of wine, she sat next to me, shooting me a look from under
her dark lashes.

Mrs K
arrived with our starter course, a fresh vegetable salad made with cucumbers,
tomatoes and onions. She served us and returned to the kitchen.

I swirled
the wine in my glass. “I’m sorry if I was a little abrupt when we said
goodnight yesterday.”

“Abrupt?
You were more than abrupt.” Her eyes flashed. “You were downright rude.”

“I’m not a
nice man. I don’t do ‘nice’. I
can’t.”

“Why?”

Ever forthright.

“If I show
any weakness, I’ll be finished.” I lifted my fork and speared a tomato.

She took a
sip of water. “Being nice isn’t the same as being weak, I don’t think.”

“You are
right, rybka. It isn’t.” I shook my
head. “I guess I’ve just gotten out of the habit.”

She chewed
some salad and swallowed. “Were you horrible to your wife? Is that why you got
divorced?”

“None of
your concern,” I snapped, slamming my hand down on the table. Dishes rattled
and the water in Zoe’s glass sloshed over the edge.

She shot me
a withering look. “There you go again, being a prick. I’m only trying to
understand you, Taras.”

Ghost by Lyla Oweds review!

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

My abilities are growing every day. But thanks to my new friends, I know that I’m not insane.

Even so, there’s a darkness inside me. It’s been getting stronger. A reality that I’ve been trying to avoid.

Being near the boys draw it out. Being close to them also make me unafraid for the first time in my life.

I’ve never felt like this before, but at the same time, my mind has latched onto the feelings they evoke. Julian encourages me, Miles comforts me, Titus protects me, and Damen…

Damen gives me something to believe in.

We have days to solve this haunting, but my personal issues threaten to overwhelm me. With each passing day, it becomes more difficult to pretend to be normal.

And if I falter, for even a moment, then I could lose everything forever.

This is the second book in a multi-book slow burn reverse harem series. Be forewarned.

My Thoughts 💭

I’m enjoying this weird series! The further you get the more questions you have! Is Bianca their mate? Who started Bianca on the bogus pills and why? What is Julian’s mother hiding? Where is Finn? I need answers! Bianca is soooo naive and the guys are so cute with her. They don’t know what to do with themselves. This book is just as interesting as the first but the mysteries are killing me! Lol I need answers!

Ireland was always the smart one. My Irritatingly perfect twin sister. I was the wild one. Her exact opposite. She was the voice of reason. She kept us safe.

She was my best friend.

Then she met him,

and he took her away.

Now I’m left trying to pick up the pieces they left behind. It’s hard being alone, when you’ve never done it before.

Now he’s back…

She wasn’t enough for him, and what they had didn’t last.

He wants me…

He plans to keep me.

I should run, or at least fight back.

The only problem is…

I don’t know who he is.

SYNOPSIS

Lucia Marcello is the good girl—or she used to be. The youngest mafia principessa of her family, she’s not the one who falls for the man from the wrong side of the tracks, and she certainly shouldn’t have run across the country with him.

She’ll leave everything behind for him …

Renzo Zulla is the bad guy—society and life labeled him that way. The only person left to take care of his siblings, he couldn’t afford the distraction of falling in love with a rich girl far beyond his league, and he definitely shouldn’t have her riding shotgun as he runs for his life.

He doesn’t want her anywhere else …

Love keeps them together.
Fear keeps them running.
Chaos follows them everywhere they go.

How long can they keep moving before someone finally catches up?

The cost of love is always high.
Never harbor it blindly.

Note: Harbor is book two in a three-book trilogy following the same couple.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lucia and Renzo’s story continues! They’re on the run and trying to find somewhere to settle but run into big problems! This book was filled with action, suspense, love and heartbreak! Lucia and Renzo just want to be together and her family didn’t care. Her dad still felt like he was right about Renzo but he’s finally proven wrong it’s at the cost of his daughter hating them! I am loving Lucia and Renzo’s story and I cant wait to read the next book! I definitely recommend this trilogy!

SYNOPSIS

They didn’t come from the same world …

Born rich to a family of mafia royalty, Lucia Marcello was already destined to succeed. She wanted for absolutely nothing, until she met him.

Born poor to parents who never cared, Renzo Zulla was already destined to fail. He has struggled for absolutely everything, but she’ll prove to be his biggest fight yet.

She’s high society from the upscale suburbs.
He’s a drug dealer from New York’s slums.

They just weren’t meant to be … until they were.

What would it take to change a life—an entire perspective? All the things you thought you knew and wanted?

For them, it took thirty-six days.
And the privilege of meeting each other.

They shouldn’t be.
They don’t fit.
Love doesn’t care.

Note: Privilege is book one in a three-book trilogy following the same couple.
