Book Review: SUGAR & SHADOWS

Image
  Rule #1: Never work with your enemy. Rule #2: Definitely don’t sleep with him either Rule #3: Never get emotionally invested in your quirky small hometown. Unfortunately, I’ve broken all three rules… When a career-ending scandal sends me back to Maplewood, Vermont, I need to lay low and figure out my next steps. Instead, I find my hometown in crisis. The local economy is struggling, the beloved Maple Festival has been stolen by a rival town, and I’m forced to work side by side with Mayor Gabriel Harding, my childhood rival and the town’s optimistic hometown hero. Helping Gabe save Maplewood should be simple. I’m a political strategist. He’s a small-town mayor. Together, we’re supposed to save Maplewood. The problem? Gabe refuses to see me as the villain I think I am. Every time I push him away, he fights harder for me, for this town, and for the future neither of us imagined.

Audiobook Review: Decimation

  WHAT TO EXPECT: Pitch black plot Serious on page NC Bodily Mutilation N*crophilia YOU CAN OUTRUN A MONSTER. YOU CAN’T OUTRUN A DEMON DISGUISED AS A GOD They took my name first. Then my face. I was brought here to pay for sins that were never mine. Traded, reshaped, and punished until the woman I used to be is completely erased. They say I look like her. They demand that I become her; become a living ghost. And when I fail, they remind me what happens to replacements that don’t fit their requirements. For a long time, I believe there is only one man doing this. His cruelty and obsession simply wearing different moods like a living god who punishes and absolves at whim. By the time I learn the truth, that there are in fact two of them, that they are twins, it’s already too late. I no longer remember who I was before they remade me. And I don’t know if that loss terrifies me…or if surrendering to it is the only way I can survive. My Review Leandra and Lazarus do not have a straightf...

  When my brother orders me to kill Thora Whitlock, there’s no hesitation. Murder comes easy when you feel nothing. Thora is supposed to be nothing. The enemy’s daughter. A woman easily erased. So I follow her. Study her. Uncover all her secrets. What I don’t expect is to speak to her. Or watch my terrifying dog roll onto his back the second she touches him. That should’ve been my first warning. The second comes when I find her crying outside a bar and do something I’ve never done before. Bring my target home. Thora is everything I don’t understand. Gentle. Stubborn. Too brave for her own good. And the more I touch her, the more I realize she’s the only one who has ever made me feel anything. But wanting her is dangerous. Keeping her is worse. And when she’s taken from me, I become the one thing I was never meant to be. Her savior. My Review I love Thora. She is an animal lover. Anton's "big, mean" dog knows a good person when he meets someone. He is putty in Thora's ...

  What to expect: 🥰 Friends to Lovers 👀 Teammate's Ex 🏒 Hockey Romance 🤭 Opposites Attract 💞 Forced Proximity 🐈‍⬛ Black Cat x Golden Retriever 💋 Midsize MMC ❤️‍🩹 Mutual Healing 📚 College Romance Lake Capitano has always been a little too loud, a little too bold, and a lot too unwilling to let things go—especially after losing her sister. She channels her grief into protests, journalism, and half-baked decisions, which gives her anger somewhere to crash-land. She’s always known she wasn’t cut out for love—the handholding, the mushy-gushy compliments, the white-picket fence future—so when a video of her ex-boyfriend with his tongue down another girl’s throat goes viral, Lake does what any rational woman would do: she unleashes a swarm of crickets in his house. What she doesn’t plan for? Getting caught mid-revenge, half-dressed, by an unexpected—and very hot—male witness. Sutton Whittaker lives by the rules—not out of necessity, but in the wake of a cautionary tale. With a fa...
