Book Review: Vengeful Gods

Image
  In this story, there are three beasts and I am their blood debt owed. The Anguis, a secret society of power-hungry individuals, have long controlled Port Macabre from their seat at Noire House. A place where the wealthy rub shoulders and chase hedonistic pleasures. However, behind the mansion’s facade lies a poisonous, hidden underworld. With my father now gone, I am the sole heir to Noire House. They wanted his head, instead, these ruthless men settled for taking me. I thought I had successfully escaped the curse of my bloodline, but I’ve been dragged back into the devious, twisted world of the Anguis. To protect the ones I love, I must allow these men to parade me around and claim me as theirs. Locked away in their remote, forest-bound fortress, I am nothing more than a possession to control. To them, my life–and future–represents payment in kind and vengeance they’ve been denied. In the world of the Anguis, death is the only way out, and these men are handsome grim reapers dressed

Book Review: Kiss Me If You Can

  There are three things you need to know about Nellie Belanger: She hates apologizing. She loves exploring her sensuality. She absolutely does not want a serious relationship with anyone… extra emphasis on “one.” Which is why no one can ever find out about that one sizzling afternoon she spent in JP Marchand—aka her best friend’s brother’s—bedroom three years ago. After a chance encounter with her former professor, the semi-reserved and gorgeously attractive Ben, becomes unexpectedly steamy, Nellie thinks she’s in for the summer of a lifetime. But when she offends the wrong person with her joyfully promiscuous attitude, it looks like three years of irritatingly flirty attempts to get her to call him are going to pay off for JP. At least, until an ill-advised promise backfires and leaves her at odds with the one person who could ruin everything: her increasingly demanding and image-obsessed father. Kiss Me If You Can is a spicy new adult romance with both best friend’s brother and an a

Book Review: The Love You Fight For

Image
  The mask she wears for the world is flawless.
 But I want the mess that she hides underneath. Samantha Harper is untouchable.

 She’s the closest thing we have to royalty in my small town.
 Daughter of a senator.
 Richer than sin.
 Classy, elegant, and
 Ice cold. She’s my polar opposite.
 And unfortunately,
 She’s exactly my type. Too bad royalty doesn’t fraternize with peasants. Until one night,
 Samantha Harper finds herself at my mercy,
 and the temptation to dirty up her flawless facade is too great. When her perfect mask slips,
 It’s not an ice princess I find beneath,
 But a warrior in war-torn armor.
 A snake in queen’s clothing. All it takes is one night, and I’m determined.
 She will never have to fight another battle alone. *** The Love You Fight For is the third book in the Next Life world. 
It has a guaranteed HEA. While The Love You Fight For can be read as a standalone, it is recommended that you first read the Next Life duet to fully appreciate the story. My Review I a

Book Review: Sinner's Playground

  Club Wonderland is my escape, taking me out of my comfort zone of being the shy, innocent girl. Here, it doesn’t feel like work, even on the hardest days. As the bartender, I’m the one they spill their secrets to, even the darkest desires they don’t dare tell anyone else. One night, a mysterious woman appears at the club, whispering things in my ear. Sins that are more unspeakable than what we do at Wonderland. The more she whispers the more I want to join her. My name is Candi Martel. I don’t know how much longer I can resist my  sins. My Review This is my first book by Jupiter. I really liked the dark vibes I got from this book. It had a psychological thriller aspect to it. The things that were happening to Candi had my attention. To be honest, I liked her but with the things happening to her, it made her more interesting.  I was not sure where the story was going but I know that I was in for the ride along. When the reason was revealed, I was pleased.  This was a fast read for me.

Book Review: Pretty Little Monster

  I thought I’d feel broken after what happened. Turns out killing the man who hurt me changed that. When I’m back at school for my last few weeks of college, I find normalcy for the first time in months. Despite getting comfortable, I can’t give Rook and Oliver the answer they so clearly want, even if it’s not the one they want to hear. They have to understand it’s not that easy. Don’t they? But following them across the country brings more than just new house problems and adjusting to their lifestyle. Issues from not so long ago come to light, and I realize I’m not as normal as I’d hoped to be, after killing my professor for what he did to me. With a new ‘friend’ who offers me the help I need and Rook keeping secrets that prove he doesn’t trust me, it’s hard to rely on anyone for answers. Especially when old urges creep up my spine and I start looking for reasons to hurt someone for what I’ve seen him do. When I’m no longer able to attribute my urges to an external predator, I’m forc
