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. …
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 swear that K. L. Taylor-Lane was trying to finish me off with this book. If she wasn’t busy confusing me, she was tearing my heart into pieces, or using anticipation and fear to relocate it into the back of my throat. I’ve just finished the book and I feel like I’ve been through the emotional wringer. I definitely started out with confusion, though. Kyla-Rose? …
The gang is back but, with the danger levels being lower than in The Girl In The Sequined Dress, this is a much more relaxed book. We get to see Dev, and then Fletcher and North taking Val out on dates (I’m rooting for a Scott date in the next book). The Accidental Summoning explains more about Dev’s background and how they ended up with …
I’ll hold my hands up and say that I knew absolutely nothing about harpies before I picked up this book. Do I know much more now I’ve read it? No. But that didn’t stop me from thoroughly enjoying the story. Yuri, Ransley, and Kerr are on the hunt for the supernatural creature that has stolen their dead uncle’s body. You know it’s not going to …
I’m still eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the Vox Tenor story but in the meantime, Leelah Renn is treating us to more of the delectable trio, this time in the form of their backstory. In the first two books, the guys make mention of a woman, Giselle, who was involved with all three of them and wrecked them when she left them. This book tells …
Eleven months is a long time to wait to read the next instalment of a series. On picking up this book I wished I’d taken the time to read Retribution again because it wasn’t until I was two chapters in that I finally remembered what was going on. Once things had clicked in my mind it was much easier to follow the story. After the …
AJ Merlin is back, and bringing us all the omegaverse vibes meshed with her signature style. The result is mysterious, and with fabulous characters packed into an addictive read. Mercy has gotten into the prestigious Winter Grove university where she plans to study so she never has to be one of those omegas, the ones that rely on their pack for everything and can’t stand …
I’m not usually one to read post-apocalyptic dystopian fantasy but I’d read a YD La Mar book even if it were clean romance, so I found myself picking up this one with a healthy dose of curiosity . I was not disappointed. The world has become overrun with vampires, divided into five territories, only one comprising human resistance. Fitri is a hybrid with very little …
I love that I can pick up a Leslie Ayla book, settle in for a few hours and know that I’ll come out at the end having read a thoroughly good story. The Girl In The Sequined Dress is no exception to this. There’s no messing around; it’s got a quick prologue and then dives straight into the action. Explanations and backstory are thrown out …
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 …
