Midnight Legacy by C.R. RobertsonDescription:
The darkness cloaks sinful acts and deadly deeds.
Secrets are the currency, death is the penalty, and pleasure is the ultimate obsession.
The dead no longer keep secrets as enemies start to appear from the shadows. Xavier can’t trust anyone except the men closest to him because those who kill together kept confidences.
Cassandra joins the ranks of the shadow council as Xavier, Ash, and Jordan contact Lucas Black as death stalks their every step. Nothing is as it seems, and hope is fading fast. Xavier will destroy anyone who stands in the path of his future with Cassandra, as he questions everything he ever believed in.
The dawn only arrives after the midnight hour and the darkness surrounds them.
Our Thoughts 💭:
"The angel on one shoulder screamed for me to be cautious, but the devil on my other had already burnt our bridges and stood laughing at the flames"I knew this wasn't over
Too much was still left unanswered
Our merry little band of misfits is currently drifting on a crimson river attempting to avoid the perilous rapids while heading straight for the waterfall
But have faith
Zee, Ash, Jordan, and Uncle Lucas have no intention of letting anyone or anything harm those they love - even the ones they won't admit to (yes Jordan I'm looking at you)
The relationship between Zee and Cass is perfect- The way they communicate. The respect they have for each other.
The absolutely hot as hades chemistry between them
*Sigh* #relationshipgoals
Things get pretty bloody in this episode as they get closer to the truth. Enemies are closing in on all sides and the past is catching up quicker than they can process it
Those they once trusted are now suspect and those they hunted may be the key to their survival
The battle lines have been drawn and I fear not everyone will survive this war
This does end on a happy note - for now anyhow

Chasing Romeo by Sarah Ready
I was laughing so hard - The Matt's - OMG
If you enjoy light angst, frolicking humor, and a touch of far-fetched shenanigans embedded in a solid storyline then this is a must-read!
I promise Nick and Chloe's adventure will have you laughing, gasping and awwing
Poor Nick he definitely got the shaft most of this journey but he kept his promise
Determination and cynicism won the day for him
Chloe at times had my hackles up. I just couldn't see how she missed it. Her cheery view of the world was inspiring but it also blinded her at times
Shelly ... I didn't see that coming
From the parking lot to the beach
Join Chloe as she travels with Nick to find her one true soul mate before time is up

Sweet Hart by Rae Marks
Bray is searching for his brother Mase and all roads lead him to Sam who denies any knowledge
But Bray is stubborn and he knows that if he follows Sam he will find Mase
What he didn't foresee was the potential minefield he would be walking into
I'm sure we will each respond to Sam's behaviors differently but I think I spent more time wanting to "stuff" some sense into him than not!
Stop spewing tales for just a moment and open your eyes, Sam!
Everyone else can see it - heck even your subconscious knows the truth.
Let go of the past and grab on to your future
As for Bray I can't help but wonder how his tenacious rear quarters survived his tour of duty?
I think I would have bubble-wrapped him to protect him.
Yes I liked his character that much - He was so honest and IDK
Okay so maybe Sam's opinions rubbed off a little on me.
Bray did seem to always just barely survive half the time though Ax had a point though about "what ifs"
I am looking forward to Ax and Nickle as well as Sin's story.

Sam denies knowing Bray’s brother and turns him away. But Sam is Bray’s only lead. Luckily, Bray’s childhood friend is one of the best hackers in the country and helps Bray follow Sam to Ukraine.
In Kiev, Bray falls blindly into the fray of a covert operation and Sam steps in to keep him alive. While navigating the choppy waters of the Ukrainian mafia, Bray and Sam fall into the bedroom. But what happens when the mission ends?

The Stone God by Erin KellisonDescription:
Searching for a fresh start, Terah moves to a country cottage — but trouble soon arrives at her doorstep in the form of a monolith with a vengeful godkiller trapped inside. Made the pawn of the divine, she must fight for her survival amid their brutal game…
Our Thoughts 💭:
When I began this journey I was a bit confusedThe author drops you right in the middle of chaos.
BAM everything if FUBAR
It was almost akin to information overload while at the same time I was left craving more 😉
I haven't read such an entertaining and truly engaging fantasy in a long time
The plot idea of a world crafted by the God's - think Greek gods with a twist - isn't new but the way Kellison spun it felt unique
The characters were vivid, tangible
I love Terah, Adom is a bit self-absorbed - really liked Kol and Aran
And so many others that make the story - All whom you will instantly love or loathe
The story is a blend of smaller storylines that weave together to support the main story - one which I'm still unsure of (I don't want to give spoilers)
There are secrets and plots galore
A bit like a cribbage match except we are not sure who is playing for which side
From the opening page, I was easily transported into a world packed with action, adventure, betrayals, and breadcrumb teasers that kept me on the edge of my seat.
And the adventure has truly just started!
Highly recommended

The Fourth State of Matter by D'Arcy Arden
A wonderful story that offers the reader laughter, adventure, a bit of suspense, and a touch of angst all layered in a steamy romance that will leave even the most jaded reader a believer
I fell in love with "pet" and his "owners" almost as soon as I met them
Pet is a "decor" - as the story progresses I understand the idea and why such a life would be wanted but it didn't make things any less hard to accept.
Enter Brog, Desmodian, and Xavis - I honestly forgot their physical differences (or maybe accepted and enjoyed is a better descriptor) when compared to their bold and commanding presence. Just loved these three and the reveals (yes there is more than one) only reinforced why I was so drawn to them
The story is a sci-fi blend that truly offers so much to the reader.
The world-building was unique and believable - the beliefs and behaviors are supported as the story goes along
Great cast both main and supporting - they were believable
I am excited about the next adventure
The Fourth State of Matter by D'Arcy ArdenDescription:
Earth is dead. Humanity survives by selling the only resource available--themselves. 2689 has signed away his rights as a living being and become décor, living artwork that rich aliens use to decorate their homes. It’s a stable existence but a boring one. Until one day his owner plays host to three unexpected guests. Large, loud, and more potent than anything 2689 has ever experienced, this trio of ship-dwellers from the wrong side of the universe awakens a desire he can’t ignore. However, blissful days of sex and companionship with Brog, Desmodian, and Xavis come to an end when 2689 discovers a plot that could land the trio in jail...or worse. 2689 will have to make a choice--stay silent and allow three innocent lives to be ruined or give up his stable life to protect the ones he loves

The Vampire Prince by Valerie TwomblyDescription:
A vampire prince
Lucien has a dark secret, and he will give up his soul to keep it from being discovered. When the mate he has waited centuries for finally reveals herself, he is torn. He’s tired of being alone, but claiming her threatens more than the unveiling of his secret. Thousands of lives are at stake.
A rebel fae
As a personal guard to her king, Elaina isn’t afraid of much except the vampires. They slaughtered many of her kind, and even though that was centuries ago, she’s struggling to trust. One dark prince sets her on edge. Her body is drawn to him, but her mind knows he is hiding something and she is determined to find out what.
The future beckons
The day has come when Lucien must face his past and choose his future. Elaina’s visions show two roads. One leads to destruction and the other to salvation. The choice the fated couple makes will determine the outcome for not only themselves but for their entire race. The problem is, they have no idea which is the correct one.
Our Thoughts 💭:
Lucien and Elaina are yin and yang ☯️Elaina was still reeling from her sister's death and questioning if there was any weight to her insane rants-
What if she was telling the truth?
Were the brothers a danger to them?
Lucien claimed she was his mate -
Could she turn him in if he was dark fae?
After she begins digging into his past she finds she may have gotten more than she bargained for
But in for a penny in for a pound
I really wish this was longer I have questions! (Fine I might also want to stay a bit longer.. potatoes pah-tatoes )
I know my questions will all be answered as the series unravels - but helllooo I'm impatient!
This was a fast-paced fantasy romance packed with action and adventure
