Book Review: Wildling

Image
  The Archer never misses his mark. Layla Ashby, the spoiled daughter of a powerful family, has always had things go her way. That changes when she wakes up from a nightmare, barefoot and feral in the woods, with no memory of how she got there. But something doesn't add up. As fragmented memories of her lost days claw their way back, Layla must confront a truth far more dangerous than the masked man who abducted her. The man calling himself The Archer didn't just break her; he awakened something within her. Something she doesn't fully understand. Something she might not want to forget. Wildling is a twisted thriller following two wild Sagittarians. My Review What happens when you can't trust reality. This is a question that Layla will have to answer. Although the truth may not be what it seems. Who is the Archer and what is his connection to Layla?  Get ready for a twisty, wild, psychological ride! I had a pretty good idea of what was happening early on in the story. Ye...

Book Review: Hunting Ground

Image
  I’ve never done anything wrong in my life. At least, nothing worth getting kidnapped over. Apparently, someone disagrees. Now I’m spending the day before Halloween at the abandoned amusement park where I used to work, being hunted by masked psychopaths who kill people because they get bored. I usually just pick up a hobby. Then one of the masks comes off. I know this man. I used to be in love with him—as much as a fourteen-year-old with unrealistic expectations can be. Going by my reaction to the blood on him, my judgment hasn’t improved. He says he and his two friends are here to save me. All I have to do is trust them. Three gorgeous men with knives and a suspicious definition of “safe.” My standards really should be higher. But I’m not leaving the others to die. These bastards turned my old summer job into a slaughterhouse, and I intend to make them regret inviting me. With Halloween dawning, I’m ready to hunt back—and my would-be rescuers seem just as interested in chasing me...

Book Review: Court of Fury

Image
  There are many things that go bump in the night, and I am one of them. I was born into power, and greatness was expected of me. When I discovered the truth behind the throne and tried to expose it, however, I was thrown into Gehenna, better known as hell. It’s a place for monsters who commit the most heinous crimes, there I am forced to adapt or perish. No one expected that I would not only survive, but thrive, and then they arrive... Five monsters come to ensure I truly died on the orders of the person who betrayed me. Only we never expected a mate bond to slam us together as soon as we lock eyes. Trapped and forced to fight this tightening connection, we have no choice but to work together to break this pesky bond and finish our personal missions—theirs is for life, but mine is for revenge. I will not stop until those who betrayed me pay. These mates can decide whose side they are on. Personally, I don’t care. Nothing will get in my way, not even love. I don’t need monsters to ...

Audiobook Review: Hush, Little Baby

Image
  Charlie Palmer was only supposed to stay for an hour. Color a picture. Watch a movie. Pretend he wasn’t falling apart. Instead, he fell asleep… and woke up in the arms of a man who decided he belonged to him. Nikolaus Makris doesn’t do temporary. He doesn’t do casual. And when he finds Charlie alone in the littles’ room—soft, hurting, and unprotected—he makes a decision that will change both their lives forever. Charlie thinks he’s being taken. Nikolaus knows he’s being rescued. Too bad Charlie hasn’t realized it yet. But Nikolaus is patient. And very, very good at taking care of what’s his. Hush, little baby… you’re home now. My Review I have read several "little" books but this is my first one involving a MMC. This book really dived into the "little". It did take me a bit to get settled into this story. Not because I did not like it but because I had to get used to the way that Charlie acted. Niko is morally grey. I love how he never made Charlie feel uncomforta...

  CHRISTMAS WITH THE BECKETTS. It’s not silent—and it’s far from holy. James and Scarlett’s dirty weekend in Edinburgh is hot enough to scorch the snow.

Rebekka and Rian are counting down to more than just Killian and Avery’s long-awaited Christmas wedding. And Zara and Cole? They’re bringing the baby—and a whole lot of drama. It’s decadent. It’s delicious. It’s festive. It’s A Very Beckett Christmas. My Review If you are a fan of this series like I am, then, you are not going to want to miss this book. Visit with your favorite couples for the holiday season. I loved this novella. It was fun times for sure to get to visit with everyone.
