Have I been patiently waiting to get my hands on the final book in the Pretty Obsessions series? No. I’ve been absolutely itching to read it. Was it worth the nine-month wait? 100%. Although Pretty Little Monster sees a bit of a shift from Pretty Little Tease and Pretty Little Killer it’s perfectly on point with the other books and perhaps even a little more […]

Another Pleasure and Prey book? Of course, I’m reading it. AJ Merlin is one of my comfort authors and although the books in this series follow a particular form, they never feel predictable. Delicious was exactly the read I thought it would be, and that was everything I needed. The way in which Saylor tells her story is a little different to the other Pleasure

We know this girl’s gotta get her serial killer smut fix and Don’t Be Scared did not disappoint. Not only did it tick all my boxes, but it’s gotten me well and truly in the mood for Halloween. Bailey

Just like its predecessor, Pretty Little Killer is a whole vibe and one I’ve been eagerly awaiting. All those things I loved about Pretty Little Tease, they’re back for book 2 but this one’s hotter still. Following the winter break, Blair returns to St Augustine but the situation has shifted slightly. Juniper and Oliver trying to play nice, Rook works on convincing her to take

While still a serial killer romance Pretty Little Tease is a shift from AJ Merlin’s previous books. Despite the FMC, Blair, naming her cam-watching alter-ego finalistgirl she’s nowhere near as much of a final girl as most of Merlin’s other FMCs. Although there’s killing in the backdrop of the story and the two MMCs are killers it takes a while for this to become apparent

I’ll admit that I found the first chapter of Vicious confusing. I had to go back and re-read it before chapter 2 to make sure I was reading what I thought I read. And yes, I had. Quinn, our heroine, started the story in the midst of multiple murders. Something’s gone on with her therapist and she needs to run. Fast forward five years and

A campground at night, a lecherous creep, a final girl, and a serial killer. Brutal sounds like the perfect recipe for an AJ Merlin novel. Throughout her summer as a counsellor at Camp Clearwater, Hazel has been too interested in the perfect placement of fairy lights and avoiding Brett, the camp creep, to realise that she has a stalker. That is until Brett lures her

It’s the start of the new semester and Mercy is back in Winter Grove, facing the same dilemmas she left behind over winter break, primarily where does she stand with Dorian and his pack? The answer to that seemed pretty clear to me, even from the first can but it took Mercy weeks and some very explicit statements to figure it out although that’s understandable

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

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

When I read We Tell Lies I said that the book was an epic tease. AJ Merlin continues that theme in the first chapter of We Keep Secrets when Kayn appears in Parker’s bathroom. You think Parker’s about to get some, then Kayn backs off. He moves forward and then retreats again. The tension got so high that I was practically ready to re-write the
