Monstrous series: 1-3 Lily Mayne

Monsters & demons are not usually my thing. Let's get real. But everyone has raved about this series, and I needed something NOT contemporary to read. Things are still a bit shitty here post Helene, and I needed something far removed from reality to distract my brain. I gave Soul Eater a shot, and oh my god. Talk about falling hard. Wyn and Danny got me invested, and I've been chugging along, loving every one so far.

So here's some mini reviews of the first three books & an update on where I am in the series.

Soul Eater: book one

Danny & Wyn, the Soul Eater.

Lots of post apocalypse world building.

Danny is hope and soft kindness and Wyn is a monster with a task. The love they share is beautiful & Danny's openness along with Wyn's vulnerability - a beautiful combination for a sweet love story with some interesting spicy times.


Edin: book two

Edin & Hunter

Edin finds Hunter in a sinkhole and rescues him. But Hunter is on a mission to save his bff Charlie, so Edin helps with that too.

Danny and Wyn help for a bit too. There are also new monsters introduced, a human/monster underground fight club, and some long awaited revenge.

Will Hunter give up his life and job with the military to stay with Edin? 


The Rycke: book three

Aury & Gage (Ghost)

We are off to the Nebraska raider camp. Ghost, while out on a mission, ends up rescuing Aury from the Nebraska base. It's a slow build, because of the shock and trauma.

We get the raider camp drama, new characters introduced, and the RYKE. Which was a whole thing.

I wish the whole Mary storyline wasn't a thing, because out of all the scary and horrific shit this universe throws us *it's a dystopia, duh!* she is the character who gives me the legit heebie-jeebies. She is uber unsettling.

Aury was the sweetest sad boy and Ghost was such a water sign. He gave me big Cancer/Pisces energy. 


Wyn: the novella

We need infinite amounts of Wyn & Danny please. Still currently reading.

Wilder Heart: KT Yarrow

Y'all, I LOVED THIS STORY. I saw it available to arc read, and I took a chance. I am SO glad I did. I loved Cash & Wilder. If you love cowboy romances, 10/10 recommend this one. I've been crying off and on throughout the entire book. Wilder was such an amazing character. His back story was TOP TIER, and how he got introduced to the story kept me engaged the entire time. And Cash. Don't get me started on him. He is the perfect cowboy and the perfect place for Wilder to land. After being released from prison, omg that story broke my heart, Wilder goes back to his family ranch. But so much has changed, and so has he, and he doesn't quite feel like he fits anymore. Cash, the ranch foreman, is Wilder's boss... but he becomes so much more. This story has so much HEART and family dynamics. Lain, Wilder's brother and his family, also have to adjust with Wilder being back on the ranch. And the other ranch hands too. Everything is a part of the story. But there were s...

The Legend Next Door: Totally Pucked Book 2: Jesse H. Reign

I think this may be the hardest review I've ever had to write. I can't believe I'm saying this because I genuinely believed that Unbreak Me would remain my favorite Jesse book of all time... but THE LEGEND NEXT DOOR has, without a doubt, taken that spot. I loved this book. I LOVED IT. Jesse chose violence with this one because I died multiple times while reading. Died. Dead. Ben Stirling. Holy hell. BEN STIRLING CAN GET IT. Where did he come from 👀 I need to know. Jesse. How do I get a Ben Stirling, please? And Jeremiah. JELLY. Oh my god, Jelly. Both mmcs had no right to be as perfect as they were. It's just uncalled for. My heart can't take it. And Luca. 😭😭😭😭 I usually don't like kids in books, but Luca was such a sweet little character- and seeing Ben with his son was SO SWEET. But seeing Jeremiah with him was so much sweeter. The grief? God. It hit like a punch. The biawakening? Felt as natural as breathing. Believable, too. The chemistry? O...

Granddaddy's Law: Wolfe Productions

It's rare for me to go all in on a taboo story. Mainly because I need a little plot to enjoy a story and most taboo is just porny erotica. Which, to each their own, we don't yuck anyone's yum here - but I need some plot. My little corner of booksta was popping OFF about the latest taboo story, a collab of dark romance writers Brea Alepou & Skyler Snow. I've enjoyed their work in the past, and was told by a trusted booksta friend that Grandaddy's Law did in fact have a plot in addition to the porny goodness that had everyone OMG-ing the day away. I'll tell you this too, I love a well written taboo and forbidden story. I'm not in any way a prude. Y'all.  When I tell you how much I LOVED this novella - I was shocked by how much I enjoyed it. Ezekiel is a BRAT. A live wire. He is coasting through college selling & using drugs and riding any d*ck he can find. After his latest arrest, Ezekiel is expelled from school and sent to live with his unknown pa...
