Welcome to February!

The year has been a whole ass adventure, and it’s only been a month! Who wants to join the bears in hibernation?! raising my hand

The world, particularly the U.S. is in a state of unrest. It is no longer a time to remain silent, as things we are witnessing are no longer simply political, but moral. While I do want my space to be a haven, an escape from reality, I will take this moment to let my subscribers know, I believe the actions of ICE are inhumane and I do not support how our current administration is handling the situation.

I wish for a world where everyone can feel safe, celebrated and worthy. May we all continue to speak our truths and strive to leave this world better than we found it.

Moving to something positive…my nephew, who was diagnosed with cancer at age five, just celebrated his first full year of being CANCER FREE. The finger pricks will never end, which he despises, but he is thriving and that is what counts. Go Calvie!!

Before you dive deeper into this wicked world, know that there are MANY trigger warnings. This series is a very dark romance, with the novella One Hallowed Night bordering on horror romance. The main characters are morally black and make terrible decisions!

If you’re still intrigued, read on and stick around for what comes next in the series!

Hallowed Hills Sanatorium locked up the worst of the worst, prisoners who committed the most unspeakable crimes. And it happened to house Lacy Breaux’s. What Lacy didn't expect to find was someone new, with a soul as ruinous as the devil, and the face of a god. Her father held the answers to her past, but it was Jasper Barrett who had plans to claim her future, one desperate moan at a time.

One Hallowed Night is available on KU & Paperback on Amazon! You can also purchase signed copies in my Etsy Shop!

What’s next for this series, you ask??

A short story to be featured in the Devoured by Desires Anthology. This story will feature three new characters, all looking for answers in their own ways, and when they meet at one of the most notorious asylums in America, things go from dark to deadly quick.

This antho is also donating to a mental health org chosen by the authors, and features a plethora of characters struggling with mental health related issues. Stay tuned for more details coming early in the new year!

Two souls bound by loss, rediscovering their place in life. Drawn together by a secret he’s always known and a truth she is about to uncover.

Syve has spent the last year struggling to hold together the pieces of her life after losing her family. Her shop—and the apartment above it—are the final ties to everything she’s lost, and she’s desperate to keep them. But how do you hold on when grief weighs down every breath? As if that wasn’t enough, vivid dreams of haunting the graveyard, trapped in the body of a deer have begun to plague her nights. Searching for answers, she uncovers an old family secret: the dreams are real. When a stranger appears, offering explanations she never imagined, a door to a hidden world creaks open.

Bastien knows how fast life can fall apart—less than a minute, if you’re counting. Now, all that’s left is a hollow work to support his mother and teenage sister, and fight through sleepless nights. Only his wolf—an untamed force within—gives him escape, running wild through the darkened woods to silence the memories. Until one night, he finds someone who looks as lost as he feels. And for the first time, he can’t walk away.

When dreams blur with reality and nightmares claw their way into the light, can two broken souls find healing in each other? Or will the deer and the wolf be forever haunted by the past?

MY RATING: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 / 🌶🌶

Alright, fam. I LOVED this book. It was beautiful and sad, emotional and sweet. I loved how she created shifters and the world they existed in. The characters had depth and even the side characters became favorites! PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!

I betrayed him. Now he'll make me pay—one filthy kiss at a time.

Marry a killer or run with a monster. Those were my options.

I chose the monster.

Alec was my father's enforcer—all lethal edges and cold blue eyes. I thought I could use him, seduce him, disappear before he realised what I'd done. But you don't play a man like Alec and walk away unscathed.

Now we're on the run through Spain, and he's unravelling me piece by piece. Every argument ends in heat. Every hotel room becomes a battleground. He's furious, possessive, and determined to drag me back to the marriage that will destroy me.

Except somewhere between the burned cars and stolen moments, the chase changed.

He's not letting me go. Not to Harold. Not to anyone.

Because Alec doesn't share. And he's decided I'm his.

MY RATING: ON MY TBR

This is an author I love as a human and I cannot wait to read one of her books! I just started so stay tuned for my review!!

An impossible choice.

Layla and Costi are finally paired as spell caster and guardian—but their discovery about the secret of Layla’s magic leaves them reeling, drawn closer even as the witches of the Mountain Circle try to keep them apart.

Now Layla is faced with a terrible truth—to fight in the ancient war against the angels means keeping Costi at her side, but never as more than a friend and comrade. And leaving the fight behind to be together… may no longer be an option.

A brewing storm.

The threat of an attack still looms over the Circle, and the witches demand an answer to the obvious question—why haven’t the angels come for them yet?

But as the fractures in the Arcaenum council deepen, pitting allies against each other, it becomes clear that the angels aren't the only enemy.

Tasked with holding the last line of defense keeping the angels from both the Circle and the outside world, Layla and Costi must prepare for battle... and somehow keep their hands off each other in the process.

MY RATING: TBD 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 / 🌶🌶

I enjoyed the SHIT out of this book 2!! Action, intrigue, SEXUAL TENSION, magic and more. The main characters are excellent, the side characters are keeping me on my toes. And you truly don’t know who to trust. WHO IS THE REAL VILLAIN HERE?! Give me the next book asap!
