The Unseelie Prince by Kathryn Ann KingsleyDescription:
The throne is Valroy’s for the taking…but first, he needs a queen.
As the son of the Morrigan and heir to the vacant Unseelie throne, Valroy itches to shed the mantle of prince and take his place as King. To his great regret one ancient tradition stands in his way, demanding he first take a bride. With all the members of the Unseelie court proving to be insufferable, what is a prince to do?
Steal a human, of course.
Abigail often wonders if the townsfolk aren’t right in calling her cursed. Abandoned by her husband and with no family to call her own, everything in her life hangs by a thread. Never did she except her downfall would come by taking pity on an old hermit. Abducted into the dangerous world of Tir n’Aill, Abigail is thrust into a terrifying maze that defies all logic. There, she finds herself at the mercy of an Unseelie prince with a strange offer—survive his maze and he’ll give her the solution to all her problems…
If she can live that long.
From author Kathryn Ann Kingsley comes this tantalizing dark fantasy that proves sometimes the line between love and hate is razor thin.
Our Thoughts 💭:YES!! YES!! AND YES!!
A Villainous Hero -- Check
A Spunky Sassy Heroine -- Check
A Dark Twisted Tale that will hold you captive - Double-Check
Kingsley is back and with a whole new cache of monsters, dastardly deeds, twisted plots, and a villainous hero who is bent on playing with the truth
Abigail has had it rough but she is a survivor - facing the loss of her homestead she makes a bargain with a fae (well maybe makes is not the right descriptor?)
We all know how fae bargains go
Suddenly having a home has a whole new meaning
Valroy is like an overgrown toddler - he wants it his way and he wants it now.
Abigail is a gentle soul - but don't let that fool you - she can give as good as she gets
These two are water and oil
Fabulous start to a new series - If dark fantasy with a strong heroine and a villainous hero is your genre this is one you do not want to pass up
Plenty of twists interwoven with steamy personal encounters lol
I read this in one sitting and the cast stayed with me long after I dozed into dreamland - I did not want to leave

Red Sin by Aleatha Romig
Wow...
Absolutely captivating
Loved the chemistry between Van and Julia
Usually, I'm not big on instant chemistry
But this?
This worked so seamlessly
I was captivated by Van he has an air of mystery to him but the way he gave Julia 100% ...
Sigh
"I proved to myself that I was capable of surviving beyond the road map that had been drawn for me."
Julia was such a strong female lead. She had had enough and walked away. Time to find the real Julia.
I liked the slow reveals -
How she finally was seeing her life as it was viewed by outsiders
Her own perceptions having been slightly skewed
Skylar is a snake 🐍
Mom... I am not sure about her, to be honest. I don't know if she is just that controlling, maybe slightly dense, or if she has a side agenda
This is book one so it ends on a too be continued
Red Sin by Aleatha RomigDescription:
Red is the color of blood, sacrifice, danger, and courage. It’s also associated with heat, passion, and sexuality. When two people meet unexpectedly with an inexplicable attraction that defies common understanding...it can be called RED SIN.
Julia and Van found one another in a shaken snow globe. Stranded in a blizzard, they embraced being two individuals with no last names. The plan was to walk away from each other with no regrets—until that plan changed.
Julia’s life was delivered a staggering blow the day she discovered her fiancé’s infidelity. The night she met a handsome stranger, one who showed her the possibility of a life filled with more than the fulfillment of expectations, she took a chance.
When it comes to business, Donovan Sherman is a wolf—a bloodthirsty carnivore who leaves wounded prey and victims in his wake. He learned from the best, his one-time nemesis and now-mentor, Lennox Demetri, who showed him that opportunities are only ripe for those willing to risk it all, a lesson Donovan took to heart.
With Julia McGrath, Donovan must decide if this beautiful woman who showed him the meaning of red sin will fall victim as his prey or if after experiencing the unbridled passion, there is more that he wants.
From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new age-gap, family saga, chance meeting, contemporary romantic-suspense novel in the world of high finance, where success is sweet and revenge is sweeter.

Peregrine by Piper Scott
I was so excited, and a bit apprehensive when I heard we were going to get Peregrine's story
Yes - it ripped out my heart
But it also put the pieces back together
Stronger, more Pliable -
It was in an eggshell
Perfect 🥰
Perry and Sebastian have always been my favorite couple and for me, this just reinforced why I feel so strongly about them
They are an example of love personified - plain and simple
This does deal with some topics that I believe are going to hit a chord for a lot of people
But with the angst also comes the moments that help to heal the wounds
The bonds of family
The hope we all hold onto so tightly
Scott and Kelly outdid themselves with Peregrine
Peregrine by Piper ScottDescription:
1508
Sebastian Drake, stoic protector of the Drake family, always gets what he wants—and there is nothing he wants more than the half-starved Pedigree omega named Peregrine he comes across on his travels. It doesn’t matter that Peregrine is a Disgrace. Sebastian will do whatever it takes to keep him… and somehow, as impossible as it might be, find a way to be his mate.
Present Day
For hundreds of years, Peregrine has enjoyed life as Sebastian’s mate. Sure, as one of the only bonded omegas in recent history he’s been kidnapped more times than he can count, but with Sebastian there to save him it’s little more than an inconvenience. And attacks from hostile clans? That’s just a typical Tuesday.
But there is one thing Peregrine fears, yet desperately wants.
One thing that has hurt him time and time again.
One thing Sebastian can’t save him from.
And now it’s happening again.
He’s pregnant.
Peregrine is an 85,000 word omegaverse mpreg romance set prior to as well as following the events of the Forbidden Desires series. It has answers to questions you’ve been dying to know and contains heartache, laughter, origin stories, meddling reptilian families with huge hearts, exotic locales, a dash of danger, and a love story five hundred years in the making. For maximum enjoyment, Peregrine is best read following the events of Clutch, Bond, Mate, Swallow, Magpie, and Finch.

Broad Daylight by A.M. WilsonDescription:
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Or so they say…The small town of Westbridge isn't so lucky.
When his brother's best friend went missing eighteen years ago, Reece James swore to himself that the pain of loss would never touch him. Walls of concrete fortified his resolve, and as a grown man, he keeps to himself and works hard to earn an honest living. No wife, no kids, not even a dog to rely on him.
His quiet life is upended when strange things start happening to him. As the events escalate, he can't continue to blame the neighborhood kids who roam freely at night. Forced to report a break in, he anticipates a swift investigation and the person responsible to be caught.
What he doesn't expect is the woman he's loved in secret for twenty years to return to town and lead the investigation.
His attempt to protect Dani as kids was pathetic at best, but when his stalker gets wind of a woman in his life, no matter that she's merely investigating a case and nothing more, Reece will do anything to keep her out of harm's way. Including sacrificing himself.
What his captor has in store will rock the very foundation Reece lives upon and will force him to face his past head on for a chance at survival.
Poor Reece has no idea what's coming for him.
USA Today Bestselling Authors A. M. Wilson and Alex Grayson return to Westbridge with the sequel to Pitch Dark. Detective Niko James may have found what he was looking for, but his brother Reece has no idea what's coming for him.
Our Thoughts 💭:
Wow...I can only tell you that you need to buckle up for this one
Preferably a three-point harness
It is that wild of a ride
I do not know if this is listed as a standalone or not I will heavily suggest if you are reading Pitch Dark you read it previous to this only because it has spoilers
This is a slow build to horror land.
The first couple chapters are spent getting to know the main characters. Reece who is a self-proclaimed forever single man, heck he doesn't even risk getting his toes wet. Some of the town folk, his family, the not living there stalker across the ...
Nice try
While we are slowly settling into the small-town life we also become aware something doesn't feel right. We begin to question the simplest of hellos, the strange car, reality.
Like the previous book, the littlest slip could SPOIL the entire story, and I am not risking ruining it.
There are secrets, betrayals, revelations, and romance
There is suspense, blood, pain, torture, horror
It is a very dark thriller - It takes the reader into the mind of a truly insane killer. No punches are held here.
At the same time, there is the development of a beautiful romance one I as a reader was wholly invested in
Just know going in this leans towards horror during many scenes, it will test the resolve of even the strongest of dark romance lovers
In the end?
It was worth the white-knuckling, blood pounding heart-racing anxiety with each page I turned

To Kiss a Demon by Stephanie Rowe
These two had me rolling with laughter
Paige is such a touchy-feely person and to be deprived of that contact was the worst kind of torture
Jed was Mr. Stoicism for about 5 seconds - then Paige won him over - quite literally
This story also gave me a whole new perspective of Satan and his progeny - Again Absolute AB buster lol
This has humor -
Some "Oh no you didn't" 's -
Action and Suspense -
A bit of mystery -
And the oddest romance that made absolute sense!
I popped into this series with this book and I missed a lot of what got us to where we were -
I will be rectifying that this week
Still, I was easily able to follow this couple's heroic adventures and am happy to have found a new author and series

My Name Is Pink by Veronica Lancet
Would she be too controlling?
Would the story feel too fantastical?
Would it keep me engaged and interested?
Would I like the characters?
The verdict?
Holy amazeballs I'm glad I took the leap!
Bianca is so many things - she's ballsy, she's smart, she's a psychopath
I enjoyed every one of her personas
Theo still has me up in the air a bit with how I feel towards him.
He is possessive, a bit caveman'ish, and he emits a feel of darkness from him - its hard to explain because I think most miss it if they don't really look at him
Vlad? I just want to know more when it comes to him
I was captured from the opening scene
A solid story that kept me engaged and turning pages as fast as I could read
Off to the next because this ends on an "OMG you sooooo messed up" moment
