It feels like we’ve been waiting ages for AJ Merlin to release another book but in reality, it’s only been two months since Pretty Little Killer. 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 […]

Anybody who’s ever read a Saint View book will know that there’s always more going on than meets the eye. Every time Elle Thorpe pulls out more twists and turns than Bolivia’s Death Road. With Rebel Heart she’s gone one better and pulled off probably the most complex plot I’ve read from her yet. When we left Rebel in Rebel Obsessession Caleb and Hugh had

Remember back in Locked Up Liars, Mae had a sister Jayela, who was partnered up on the police force with a guy named Boston? What about when Liam took Mae to a strip club owned by Eve right before the place got shot up? Evil Enemy takes us straight back to that time and the protagonists in this book are the very same Eve and

Let me start by saying that picking this book up the day after gynae surgery was not a smart plan. The brain may have been willing but what’s left of my reproductive organs could not cope with all that Rebel Obsession had to offer. Sure, some of the book gets a little steamy, but other parts are pure filth. Now I’m going to have to

Going into this book I knew what to expect. Leelah Renn is skilled at breaking the reader and subsequently building them back up again while she takes them on a journey through Aria’s world. She did it in Morocco with Becoming Aria and carried on the trend as the group moved into Spain with Loving Aria. In the same vein as my review of Loving

The cliffhanger queen is back and you’re going to love this one. Or hate it. Or love to hate it. One of the above, anyway. But first, let’s go back to that other cliffhanger, the extra one we were left with in It Ends With Violence. Rebel’s story picks up a week after the events of that night, with her dealing with the aftermath of

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
Vicious by AJ Merlin Read More »
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

There’s nothing like a blurb that intrigues you get tells you nothing about the book you’re going to read. Torment Me is one of those but it’s also a K L Taylor-Lane so I opened it knowing I was going to enjoy it. Maybe “enjoy” wasn’t the right choice of word. There’s a pervading darkness to this book that could make other dark novels squirm.

This book is packed full of so many twists, turns and revelations that I don’t know where to begin! If you haven’t already read Start A War or Half The Battle then I’d suggest pausing and devouring them now. I can’t guarantee I won’t get spoilery over them. It wasn’t enough for Elle Thorpe to have written in a raid on Psychos, losing the bar
It Ends With Violence by Elle Thorpe Read More »
Ooooh! You’re gonna love this one. Actually, that could be my whole review, but you know that once I get started about a good book you’re in for an essay. Start A War transitions into Half The Battle so seamlessly that if you’re reading them back to back you wouldn’t know where one ended and the next started. It’s the perfect pick-up for the start
Half The Battle by Elle Thorpe Read More »
At the start of the year Loving Aria was the book I was most desperate to get on my Kindle in 2022. Leelah Renn set the bar insanely high with her debut novel, Becoming Aria, but could book 2 in the Vox Tenor series live up to its predecessor? The answer is yes. Absolutely. In every way. Side note: It’s gonna be tough to write
