Read my review of another book in the Virtuous Sinners series, Day of Judgment by Briar Kearney & Aurora Crane. I have enjoyed “psychopaths finding their person and falling in their version of love” books by a few others authors, but in all of those cases, it was a person without empathy connecting in theirContinue reading “Book Review: Speak and Obey (Virtuous Sinners) by Ki Brightly & M.D. Gregory”

Book Review: Lightning Born (Monsters & Mayhem) by Sam Burns
Sometimes a book can be well-written from a technical standpoint, and follow the themes of the concept, but still be difficult to connect with on an emotional level. I found myself thoroughly invested in the dramatic opening, which presented a ton of questions and was made even creepier by my knowledge of the source material.Continue reading “Book Review: Lightning Born (Monsters & Mayhem) by Sam Burns”
Book Review: Day of Judgment (Virtuous Sinners) by Briar Kearney & Aurora Crane
The surface-level tropes were what originally attracted me to this book, but the deeper story and connections that developed between the characters drew me in completely. Even though it begins with a married couple in a long-term established dynamic, I found myself immediately invested in the external plot, which is much more than Justin takingContinue reading “Book Review: Day of Judgment (Virtuous Sinners) by Briar Kearney & Aurora Crane”
Book Review: Maniac (Necessary Evils #7) by Onley James
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Necessary Evils series: Unhinged (#1) | Psycho (#2) | Moonstruck (#3) | Damaged (#3.5) | Headcase (#4) | Mad Man (#5) | Lunatic (#6) The final book in this epic and addictive series delivers on multiple unspoken promises: a sprawling cast of characters featuring all of our favorites from previous books, an explanationContinue reading “Book Review: Maniac (Necessary Evils #7) by Onley James”
Book Review: Sins That Define Us (Madly Ever After #3) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Madly Ever After series: Sins That Find Us (#1) | Sins That Bind Us (#2) In another world, more of this trilogy delved deeper into the history of and relationships between the complicated dynamics between Kane, Phoenix, James, and Ari. I will never penalize an author in aContinue reading “Book Review: Sins That Define Us (Madly Ever After #3) by E.M. Lindsey”
Book Review: Sins That Bind Us (Madly Ever After #2) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my review of the first book in the Madly Ever After series, Sins That Find Us. Lindsey doesn’t leave us hanging off the cliff they left us in the previous book for long. However, while Kane’s kidnapping is established, his rescue isn’t quite so straightforward. The guys go through a lot to find him,Continue reading “Book Review: Sins That Bind Us (Madly Ever After #2) by E.M. Lindsey”
Book Review: Sins That Find Us (Madly Ever After #1) by E.M. Lindsey
The first installment of this nontraditional fairy tale retelling has a lot of work to do. Multiple characters to introduce, both individually and their previously established dynamics, along with the politics of an underworld to set up. Lindsey pulls no punches by immediately showing how dark and kinky these guys are, already with each otherContinue reading “Book Review: Sins That Find Us (Madly Ever After #1) by E.M. Lindsey”
Book Review: Best Served Cold by E.M. Denning
One of my favorite books by this author is called Murder Husbands, so I knew I had to check out her dark romance featuring a literal demon. I was not disappointed, and this book is a perfect way to enjoy the spookiest month of the year. Note, however, that I primarily call this a darkContinue reading “Book Review: Best Served Cold by E.M. Denning”
Book Review: The Fae Queen’s Captive (Peculiar Tastes) by Sierra Simone
I’m traveling on Halloween this year, so I’ll admit that I’m not as hyped for the holiday as I usually am. Reading this unexpected dark romance changed all that in a heartbeat. The opening events are the perfect welcome to the spooky season, evoking horror tropes of the final girl while simultaneously instilling a senseContinue reading “Book Review: The Fae Queen’s Captive (Peculiar Tastes) by Sierra Simone”
Review: Inferno Series by J. R. Gray
Clouded Hell (Book 1) This book is not a dark romance, though it gets pretty dark at times. Not because of the kinks between the main characters, but simply because of the worlds of organized crime and underground fighting they’re involved with. It’s immediately clear, however, that Remi and Dante are anti-heroes rather than villains,Continue reading “Review: Inferno Series by J. R. Gray”
