You know how some books have trigger warnings that they’re never going to live up to? The Devil’s Redemption is not one of those books. By the end of the first four chapters, Murphy Wallace has so graphically justified those warnings that you begin to wonder if Sasha can ever come back from such a traumatic experience. Lesser women wouldn’t. In fact, I was curious […]

Reading His to Hold is like coming home to see your extended and rather crazy family for Christmas. It’s chaotic and full of drama, but ultimately heartwarming and enjoyable. This instalment of the Quintessentially Theirs series follows Jack (Sascha’s youngest child) and Beau. They’ve been the best of friends since teenagers but everybody (Jack included) thinks Beau’s gay and nobody imagines the two of them

I’ve always got a soft spot for books set in the UK, especially when they’re written by British English speakers or people who’ve lived here for years. There’s just something about the perfect flow of dialect and realising subtle differences in culture. K L Taylor-Lane may have set Purgatory in the fictional region of Southbrook, but the British in the book really shines through and

The Quintessence series holds a special place in my heart, as it was my introduction to reverse harem novels, back when I was reading a lot of lighter romance (and by lighter, I mean dove grey). When the series ended in the future, with the harem’s kids all grown up, you could tell there would be a follow on series. Enter His to Keep, the

I’ve read some pretty blinding books this year and so going into December I didn’t think I’d find anything to top them. I was wrong. Becoming Aria is hands down the best book I’ve read in a long time. Going into the book, I knew it was going to be a bit different from my usual sort of read. It’s rare I see a character

I need to start off with a little rant because Liars is guilty of something I hate. Namely, a huge gaping gap between the release of two books in a series. I hate when I pick up a book and it’s been so long since I read its predecessor that I need a TV-style “previously on…” to remind me what the first one was about.

Have you ever wanted to run away and join the circus? After a rather interesting night at the Carnival Calamity, that’s exactly what Mia, Karen and Lacey did, in a classic case of girl being led by her lady bits. But, let’s start at the beginning. Our protagonist, Mia, is both an orphan and a stripper. After the club in which they work is closed

I’ll be honest, I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about the end of the Reaped series. Okay, maybe it’s not the ending that that’s caught me, but the book that brings about the ending. Claiming the Reaper is full of fun and had me chuckling away at some of the things the characters got up to, but I wonder if it was too

I don’t like stories that centre around holidays, and I don’t like my romances sweet either. So, why the hell did I pick up When Snowflakes Fall? To be honest, I wouldn’t have, but Kayla McKinney is the pen name of the awesome Michaella Dieter, and I felt that if anyone could change my mind, it would be her. When Snowflakes Fall is the story

I really enjoyed AJ Merlin’s Playing With Knives and I had high hopes for We Tell Lies. Unfortunately, while this book was a good read, it didn’t quite live up to the awesomeness of its predecessor. I think there’s a very good reason for that. We Tell Lies is the story of Parker and her return to the small town where she grew up. The

Woah! There is so much going on in this book it’s hard to know where to begin, so perhaps we should start with the prologue. Was this my fate all along? To Die at the hands of someone I loved? It’s an intriguing discourse detailing Lee’s obsession with death, and the events of her own death before the story has really begun. In the ensuing

Normally, if a book has a prequel available, I prefer to read it prior to getting stuck in. Sins of the Family is an exception to this rule. After reading Sins of Our Fathers I had so many questions about Ginger and Sin’s pasts that I hoped would be answered in the prequel. The whole question here is: am I a monster or a victim
