​I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Anne Malcom!

One word: WOW. This book was written with heart. It was written with purpose, conviction and meaning. Every word had its place. Every metaphor was beautiful. Every passage was expertly crafted. Without a doubt, Malcom’s best writing yet.

It took me awhile to read this book. Amidst the chaos of my own life, I found peace reading this book. For the moments I dove into the pages, I lived in my fantasy, just like Polly did. I didn’t particularly relate to Polly much, but that didn’t stop me from falling in love with her as a character, connecting with her story and thoroughly enjoying the book. 

This book was full of beauty. Of treasured moments. Of light, and hope. It has a peaceful chaos to it all. Malcom stated that Polly and Heath were complicated. Understatement of the year, but complicated is not impossible, and complicated makes the most rewarding stories. It makes them layered, gives them depth.

Malcom tackles many difficult subjects in this book. Many important subjects that need to be talked about; domestic abuse, rape, human trafficking, homelessness, all the ugly in the world. I’m so proud of Malcom for writing this book. For pushing herself as an author and putting so much into the page. 

This book is definitely a must read and one of my favourite reads of the year.

​I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Giana Darling!

Ahhhhh my man is some HOT STUFF! This book was EXACTLY my kind of book. Suspense, angst, drama, twists and turns, sexy as sin, and filled with beautiful, consistent metaphors! (Literally the way to my heart)

First of all, I am always in awe when reading a Darling book, of the author’s skill in using the English language. Her beautifully written passages, her imagery and metaphors, her poetic language, all of it just so cohesive makes me happy. And when words make me happy, it’s the best feeling ever. 

I had been waiting for this book for so long and man was I NOT DISAPPOINTED! DADDY DANNER IS EFFING HOT! He will melt your panties with his charming ways, wicked sex appeal, and poetic words. 

This story is definitely a roller coaster. So many highs and lows, so many twists and turns. Darling truly knows how to surprise me and I love how brave a daring she is with her plot. She’s taking risks and it’s paying off!

So overall, I LOVED THIS BOOK! DANNER IS MINE, AND I NEED BOOK 4!

I received an ARC of this book form the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you India R. Adams!

​I don't know about you, but I've waited over TWO YEARS for this book. Man was it ever worth the wait. It's Adams' rawest book to date. She pushes herself as a writer and tries to do justice to Delilah. It's edgy and, well, brilliant. 

I don't think I've been this moved by a book before. This is a book about survival. A book about resilience, and weakness. It's about how life isn't all love and roses, and how not everything is black and white... How the spectrum of grey is impossibly vast, and how the line in the sand can be wiped away by the wind or a wave. Sometimes that wave turns into a tsunami and wipes you out, and you need to find a way to swim back to shore. 

This book has some darkness to it. It will definitely make you emotional and punch you in the gut. It's not a book for everyone. It's trigger galore, but if you are strong enough to get through it, you will be rewarded by the profoundness of the story and the quality of the writing. 

Like all of her books, Adams' captures us into her world. When we read this book, we are so entranced by it, all we can focus on is her storytelling. I don't know how many times I have to say it, but India R. Adams is one damn talented author.  You WILL want to throw your kindle at your wall. You WILL want to cry and and proceed to go into the fetal position. But you will LOVE the torture.

Adams' also rewards us with some of her sexiest writing yet. I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised, and found myself craving for more. (Maverick IS my husband after all *shrug*). 

So to recap: READ. THIS. BOOK.

That's all!

I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Dani René!

If you follow my reviews, you'll know that René is one of my go-to's. One of my staple authors. She writes sexy and captivating reads, time and time again. This one? Next. Fucking. Level. (Too bad I'll have to change that line for Amazon) You want suspense? You got it. You want drama? Check. You want angst? Check. You want darkness? Well, you've come to the right place. 

Not only is the story of the characters we follow dark, but it also shows glimpses of something beyond this book. And that's what grips you, really. The constant luring pulling you deeper and deeper into René's world. She is the master puppeteer and she holds all the strings to our hearts.

There A LOT of twists and turns in this story, and I don't want to ruin anything for anyone, so I'm gonna leave you with this... Not everything is as it seems. xx

​I received an ARC of this books form the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you S.M Soto!

WOWOWOWOWOW! What a way to pop an author cherry! This book had it ALL. It literally ticked all my damn boxes. Angsty AF: check. Dark subject matter: check. Broken people: check. Plot twist that will make you question everything you ever knew: CHECKKKKK. (In Soto's defense, the book is very adequately titled). Oh and cliffy that will leave you staring at your kindle screen wondering why the heck there are no more words to read? Yeah, haha, totally CHECK. 

This book. Ouff. It was captivating, to say the least. I had trouble putting it down to go to class. It stayed in my thoughts while I was not reading it. The intrigue is insurmountable, and you will fall victim to this book.  The characters are mysterious, delicious, and addictive. The action is written with such suspense and anticipation that you feel your heart squeeze as the heroine's does.

Soto is a powerful writer. She grasps the reader's attention so completely and quickly, that you won't even know what hit you. It's truly something else. The quality of the writing is there, as well as the planning of the plot. everything makes sense. Everything is perfectly weaved together, and you realize, she had left a breadcrumb trail for you to follow you never noticed. She keeps you pre-occupied with other aspects of the story while dropping you hints of what is to come. True suspense writing. 

I will definitely be picking up more books by this author. After one of her books, she is already up at the top of my favourite author list. She is one to watch out for.

​I received an ARC of this book form the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Natasha Knight!

Wow! This book was dark and totally up my alley. I didn't know what to expect when I first dove in - Knight is one of the authors I just read everything they write and don't really check the blurbs. I loved the premise of the book. It had a classical originality to it, in the sense that it was a completely new approach to something familiar. 

The book was dark, twisted and totally delicious. The heroine is strong and self-affirmed. She will make you smile but also shake your head at her audacity and that is what makes this book fun to read. Maybe I'm a little wack when I say "fun", because well, this book is angsty, it's nerve-racking, suspenseful, and definitely not flowers and rainbows. 

Anyways, in true Knight fashion, this book nailed it in originality, evoking emotions, and connecting with complex and multi-faceted characters. I cannot wait to see what the sequel has in store. 

I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Dani René!

Dani René has dived back into the darker side of her writing with this one. I say darker, but this is her darkest yet... and I absolutely loved it! It was raw, gritty, and intense! She managed to cram all of this high emotion into a novella. Quite a commendable feat!

I’m so happy with how René ended this novella. She brings you to the precipice and leaves you to fend for yourself against your own emotions and heart. It is glorious. She ramps it up at least 5 notches near the end. It’s riveting and addicting to read.

René’s writing is also improving. The style is becoming more pronounced and the flair is intensifying in a good way. I couldn’t help but highlight half the book for beautiful passages. Her literary language was on point for this one.

So basically, I think this story is one of Dani’s best, if not THE best. It’s dark, gritty, and intense. Utterly captivating. ​

I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Tara Leigh!

What an angsty AF ride. Tara Leigh is a good writer, that's for sure. She can pull you into her story so effortlessly. She creates intrigue at every page and keeps you turning them! it is a complex story of maturity and responsibility. I loved it until right before the end...

My issue with the ending, is that it feels like a cop-out. I wanted - craved - more. A confrontation, a sequence of event to match the build-up happening during the book. I also craved to find out Romy's perspective on everything. It was like a whole chunk of the story was skipped.

That being said, I DID still enjoy the story and wish to read more from this author. She has an interesting way to plot. Some of these twists and turn took me by surprise, and I'm usually good at predicting stuff. So overall, a good read, and I cannot wait to see what Tara Leigh comes up with next!

I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it! Thank you Tara Leigh!

Ouf!! If you're looking for a short angsty read, this is it! This is the perfect prequel for Legacy of Lies, and sets up the book perfectly. We know it will take us on an emotional ride. We just do. Especially with that ending! Eeeep! I was not expecting that ALL!

This was my first Tara Leigh book, and it was a very satisfying read! The plot setup was amazing and concise. We dive into the world of the New York Elite, and we know exactly who the characters are and what is happening even if the setting is unfamiliar to most people. What also helps, is that it doesn't feel pretentious at all from the perspective of Tripp and Jolie. They don't act like entitled brats and I love it!

Their relationship is heartwarming and honest, and I am beyond excited to dive into Legacy of Lies tonight.
