Reign of Hell House

 

Blurb: 

Welcome back to Kildale Academy...

Salem

The fate of the world rests on my shoulders...

I'm a witch, dating a group of guys who are possessed by the Seven Deadly Sins, and I've just been pulled through the veil that separates the mortal world from the Underworld.

Prophecies are foretold, fates are changed, and secrets are revealed as we fight to save the world for impending doom.

Things I never thought possible, greet us at every turn. I just hope we make it out alive.

Skye

What is happening to me?

Everything I've ever known to be true has been completely turned on its head. I'm grappling with my newfound powers and the knowledge of where it comes from.

I don't know what to trust anymore. I need answers to who I really am, and what role I have to play in all this turmoil.

My Review

I went in reading Reign of Hell House with mixed feelings. I didn’t want to see this series come to an end; however, I had to know what happened! 

This book was the PERFECT ending to the series. This is yet another book I just couldn’t put down, as there were so many twists and turns. Salem and Skye will forever be two of my favorite FMCs. and those men... well they will also be the reason you’ll find me re-reading this series over and over. 

Dakota, you amaze me! 

In Reign of Hell House, we are thrown back into a world that Skye and Salem are trying to navigate. They are learning more about their past, their family, and their powers. All while finding themselves head over heels for the men who stand by their sides. 

The men, I fall more in love with them throughout each book. Not only does their bond with Salem and Skye grow stronger, but their relationship with each other seems to do the same. They become one force that will go to battle for the women they love and nothing will stop them. 

I also can’t forget to mention Satan. I mean, who wouldn’t love the hellhound that caused Salem to dub herself "mommy" all while he tried to rip the men to pieces? 

“Fucking take what’s yours, baby.”

Conclusion: Should You Read This?

Absolutely! Do not let anything stop you and RUN to go buy this book and series!

A Night of Flesh & Gluttony by B. Livingstone

 

Blurb: 

One Night.

I spent one night being shown everything I've been missing.
Everything that I didn't know I needed.
Everything that would irrevocably change me forever.

365 days have passed since that night of gluttonous pleasure, and still my body and soul remember every moment..
Every reverent touch.
Every whispered word.
Every promise of pleasure.

As I settle into my new life, the men who turned me inside out, come crashing back into my world. Their silver-tongued promises of filthy devotion set my soul on fire.
But as it turns out, things aren’t as simple as they made it seem and in the end, my gluttonous heart might just end up shattered.

My Review

Devy is a librarian with a hyper-sex drive. Her past relationships never seemed to fulfill her needs. Her exes proceeded to make her feel like something was wrong with her, and her self-esteem plummeted. 

After accepting an invitation to Club Rapture, Devy is met by the three men who are eager and willing to sate all of her desires for the night. They seduce her while ensuring all of her needs are being met. 

I loved how the men were with Devy. Not only did they bring all the steam and spice, but they were prepared to make sure Devy knew her needs were not a fault. They approached her with positivity and slowly started to raise her self-esteem. Of course, after so much pleasure, walking away from each other was not going to be an easy feat. 

Conclusion: Should You Read This?

This book will suck you in and it won’t let you go! I’ll just be over here counting down the days until Part 2 is released. Highly recommend….go read this one now!

My Book Review - Rising Queen by Alisha Williams

Let’s just kick this off with the thought that lasted the whole book. Neo is life. I fell quickly for this character as he is perfectly unhinged. I was addicted to this book. The hurt, betrayal, and secrets- I was hooked and felt for all the Characters. 

Queenie made a life for herself, she survived the worst and vowed to make her world into a safe place. The men needed financial help to save not only what their fathers destroyed, but the one thing that held their hearts. When they heard about Queenie, they hoped she would be the key to saving it all. Little did they know, the woman they were relying on, was a piece of their past that they destroyed. 

Everyone should read this book and then continue on in the series. It just keeps getting better! 

This book was amazing, but as always check the trigger warnings. There aren’t just retellings of traumatic experiences, there are present-day ones that will grab onto your heart and refuse to let go. In all honesty, as sad as it may be, these pieces of the story are needed to truly let the characters shine. 

“You have no idea how many wet dreams I’ve had of us fucking bareback in a pool of blood.” - Neo

Pretty Reckless by Ria Wilde

 

Blurb: 

Something was stolen from me.

So, I stole something back.

And I have been running ever since.

But when you have nothing to live for, you search for those hidden moments that truly make you feel alive.

What I hadn’t expected to find was a piece of my past buried in the underground pits of Redhill.

I went searching for the beast.

And found something much better.

I didn’t foresee Hawke. And I definitely wasn’t ready for Enzo.

But both of them were damn sure they wanted to keep me here…

Until secrets start to unravel, and truths begin to spill.

How could there ever be a future for the three of us when everything so far has been built on lies?

If there is one thing I know for sure, it’s that being pretty reckless hurts, but being silent kills…

Pretty Reckless is a standalone dark MMF Romance.

Book Review - Pretty Reckless by Ria Wilde

I have never wanted to be called "Kitten" as much as I did while reading this book. 
Enzo, the Saint's enforcer, and Hawke the bartender from the fight club, have been lovers for years. Each of the MMC had a traumatic past. Enzo, went silent, while Hawke wore his scars on his face. I loved how they gave each other strength.

Blake (FMC) is pretty reckless, and while running from her past, she is looking for moments to make her feel alive. She ends up in the underground nightclub, causing Enzo and Hawke to take notice. 

When the three of them combine, it's pure perfection. They balance each other out and throughout the story, you uncover some crazy interconnected pasts. The connections kept me from putting this book down because it just kept getting better and better. Oh, and who could forget the spice 🥵 Yes Please! 

“That’s it, kitten, say my name, not God. I’m the one you should worship right now.”

Conclusion: Should You Read This?

Absolutely! I love Ria Wilde's books and this one is at the top of my favorites list!

Book Review -  The Reaper Awakened by CJ Raine

I truly hit the lottery in May when it comes to great Reverse Harems / Why Choose reads with Vampires!

Welcome to a mafia meets paranormal world. Carina (FMC) has kept her identity hidden in a world where no one believed a woman could lead. But Carina was a baddie who didn’t mind staying in the shadows as she knew she was more powerful than them all. Yes, I swooned over Carina just a bit. I mean, not only was she a boss babe, but she was also a domme AND a hybrid vampire. She had everyone falling to their knees for her.

The book itself drew me into its equal parts plot and spice. Everything comes at you fast in this book but it does not take away from the spice/plot. Cliffhangers always get me, but the ending for this book was a great lead into the next one (which I absolutely can not wait for).

“  You are very skilled with your mouth, Nico. I'm curious as to what your cock can do. Take it out.  ”

Conclusion - Should You Read This?

I could not put this book down! It was a short read that had spice, a great plot, a badass FMC, and some sexy men. Plus it takes place in New York! 

HIGHLY Recommend!

Court of Nightmares by K. A. Knight

Blurb: 

There are many things that go bump in the night, and I am one of them.

As a vampyr who was born to fulfill a prophecy, my life was planned before I was created. I obeyed every rule, and I became the perfect vampyr, but one night changed everything.

Rejected by the man who was destined for me, who was supposed to love me forever, I do the only thing I can, I flee…

Into the night, nursing my broken heart.

Being a rejected mate corrupts the soul, however, and in this game of Courts and Kings, nobody wins.

Nobody except the monsters in the shadows.

The monsters that save me, welcome me, and make me one of them.

Welcome to the Court of Nightmares, where all your wicked dreams come true.

My Book Review of -  Court of Nightmares by K.A. Knight

K. A. Knight always kills it with her novels, and this book is no different. When I saw she was releasing a new book, I knew I had to read it. Without hesitation, not even knowing what the book was about, it was downloaded to my e-reader.

Althea, her story starts off heartbreaking. She was rejected and felt the pain of that rejection down to her soul. Every. Single. Day. She spiraled out of control and was judged for her reaction to the situation. Althea welcomed her judgment with open arms, knowing she needed saving, even if that meant death. Little did she know, this would forever change her world.

The men, there are 7! I already find it hard to wrap my head around RH relationships with 3-4 men but 7??? How were they all going to get attention, how could one person fit in with 7 men, and the thoughts went on…. Well, again, Knight knows exactly what she is doing and without a doubt in mind, I knew I wanted a RH of 7 Vampire Men. Sigh. 

All of the Main Characters have their own, unique backstories and what brought them to be a part of the Court of Nightmares. Right from the beginning I was drawn to three men in particular. Conall, Lycus, and Reve. Give me all the crazy, alpha, unhinged men! Althea was a badass and even though there were a lot of "touch her and...(un-alive)" vibes coming from the men, the "touch them and...(un-alive)" vibes from her were 🔥🔥🔥. 

My Call-Out Moments- 

Not going to lie, my anxiety was acting up when Simon came into the picture...I had to know how this was going to play out! Being a part of the Court of Nightmares meant your past needed to stay in the past. 

The god of death - This is when I really saw how power Althea was. Everyone feared the god of death, and even though she did too, she stood her ground. 

“    I love this girl. Let's keep her.    ”

Conclusion: Should You Read This?

Court of Nightmares, has become one of my favorite books! This story combined all of my favorite genres and tropes. The spice was out of this world, but so was the plot. I’m also a sucker for fantasy creatures, so when they were introduced…I fell even more in love with this book. This is definitely a must-read for anyone who loves Dark, Fantasy, Why-Choose/RH Romances.

A Twist of Poison by H.R. Penrose

 

Blurb: 

“My beautiful little angel.”

Those words cemented the day my world changed. I was painted in shades of brutality and sketched into an impeccable design of what he wanted.

Reborn in pain and doused in cruelty, I returned to my hometown after two years—the place that had me running.

But everything had changed, I had changed.

Thrust back into a world of money, status and secret societies with danger lurking around every corner, I tried to navigate my studies at the prestigious Coldharbour University.

Once upon a time, they were my best friends—Hollis, Texas and Preston.

They’re no longer boys I grew up with. Now, they regard me with contempt, and make no show to hide it.

Survival became all I know, I’ll do whatever it takes to grasp a sliver of normality. Even if it meant separating my realities.

Hollis, Texas and Preston had their secrets, as did I. Until the beginning of mine started to unravel, sweeping us all in its destruction and annihilating the relationship we’d rebuilt between us.

Not everything was what it seemed. They fed into the lies and lived by their version of it, but when the truth emerged, they finally understood that betrayal lurked closer than they’d imagined.

East Bay was riddled with an undercurrent of evil. And they were about to realise just how deeply it ran.

I belonged to them heart, body and soul. But my heart also beats for someone else.

And the thing about secrets… they always come to light.

My Review

This book is dark but Milla, the FMC, is a survivor. She trusted him and he used that to his advantage - then he kept her as his dirty little secret. I  personally hated him and that feeling did not change. It's been a while since I read a book where I wasn't falling all over the villain. This "villain" stayed the "villain" in my eyes. 

On the lighter side... Hollis, Preston, and Texas are all grown up. She ran from everyone, but now she was back. They are resentful but start to realize that something is off with her. It eventually clicks all into place, and they will do anything to keep her safe. 

Conclusion: Should You Read This?

Absolutely! If you're looking for a book that will pull on all of your heartstrings, this one is for you. I was so captivated and found myself fully immersed in this book. Definitely recommend!

Collapsed by G.P. Darling

 

Blurb: 

A shadow that creeps in the dark is never seen, until he wants to be. His obsession has become my worst nightmare. Just as everything seems to be falling into place, it crumbles to the ground. He wants to break me, to make me fit into his twisted fantasy. I have bad news for him; I will never break, no matter how hard he tries.

I mourned my best friend and the woman I was growing to love. My heart felt complete when we found each other, only for him to rip it open again. Will they find me in time? Are any of them left alive? I will make sure he endures the same pain he has put me through. He may think I’m just another pretty face to be his victim, but sometimes, victims fight back.

Vengeance will come, and this will end once and for all.

My Review

If you're looking for a hot, suspenseful read with a plot that just pulls your in and doesn't let go... then the Elite Series is definitely for you! Collapsed is the third book in the series, and it did not disappoint.

The harem dynamic was perfect and I loved seeing how Katia fell into place amongst the men. I thought Nat was a feisty one, but try to keep Katia out of the loop, and her wrath is felt by everyone. I also got to see a different side of Conrad and loved that Nat's (and Alexie's) fascination was similar to mine.

I would highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a captivating and entertaining read.

“ Remember, no God here, Malyshka; only you and me. ”

Tropes to help make your decision, my answer is yes!

About the Authors

G.P. Darling is paying homage to the place where our friendship began and grew to what it is today. We're best friends who have always loved reading. We decided on a Sunday playdate we should just do the dang thing ourselves. We love writing strong main characters and stories with angst and steam. When not writing we can be found chasing around the 10 kids we have between us and drinking a good ole Titos and Water while probably cursing like sailors.

G.P. Darling Linktr.ee

Trigger Warnings:

Collapsed is a full-length adult romance with dark and suspenseful tones. Trigger Warning for unaliving, torture, SA, and mentions of human trafficking. This is a why choose romance, meaning our baddie main character has more than one love interest. This is the third book in a series and cannot be read as a standalone.

Thanks for Reading!
