This book was one of those where I didn’t entirely know what to expect. The blurb was vague but intriguing, and knowing YD La Mar, the story could contain anything from normal, everyday people to giant monsters. Loving the work of both authors, it was a given that I’d be totally into the book whatever way they chose to write. I was absolutely blown away …

I’ll admit that this book didn’t captivate me in the first few chapters. It’s a slow build with lots of scene setting, and I just wanted to jump straight into AJ Merlin‘s brand of action. You know, the sexy, dirty and downright lascivious action. It’s definitely worth persevering with this read because in chapter 6 the story explodes in the most delectable way. Depraved is …
Let me start out by saying that Indulging Their Little is absolutely the cutest story! I’d never read a DD/lg book before I got the chance to read Leslie Ayla‘s first novel, Their Precious Princess. Back then, little did I know how eagerly I would await the release of her second book. Let me tell you, this story is a feel-good snuggly hug while drinking …
Going into reading this book I was expecting a young adult to new adult read that probably wouldn’t be anywhere near as spicy as a good book should be. After all, our heroine was still living in a group home so she wasn’t old enough to be getting up to any naughtiness yet. But, it turns out that Lily only has a few weeks until …
I absolutely loved The Cleanup, so it was only natural that I’d want to get my hands (or should that be eyes?) on another book about the same characters. The Meetup features Olivia, of course, and Zach, the group’s resident psycho. It’s set shortly after the gang has left school and, aside from a small bit part for Max, none of the other characters appears …
The prologue of Penance starts with sorrow and brings in a new point of view. This time it’s from Max, the guy who left Kyla-Rose on the day her mother died, triggering the events that sent her to juvie. I really wasn’t a fan of Max’s after reading the first book, Purgatory. Max may have been Kyla-Rose’s best friend but he also treated her like …
I went into this book blind, without so much as reading the blurb. I was always going to read it, no matter what the blurb or reviews said. AJ Merlin is just one of those authors for me. So going in blind seemed like a fun idea. If you’ve read any of AJ Merlin’s other dark romances, you’ll know she has a talent for writing …
For some reason, the name Averie and the Grizzly Skulls sounds cute and fluffy to me. It’s not, and this book is about as far from cute and fluffy as it gets. We’re talking closer to UndeadTed than Winnie the Pooh. Even after reading devouring the story the name still brings me to sweetness and light. I probably need help. So, a little bird walks …
I’ve been feeling pretty shitty of late. In fact, until I picked up this book it had been weeks since I’d read a book and longer still since I’d finished one. Nobody tells you how depression isn’t just feeling sad. Feeling sad is something I could deal with. It’s all the other symptoms that manifest that make it so hard to live through. I wanted …
