It is 1 in the morning and I'm lying here thinking about what to write. Welcome to the Dark Side just took all my words and rode out into the night.
This book consumed me. I didn't want to put it down and if I did, I'd jump right back in.
You'll never meet a heroine more fierce, resilient, or sweet as Loulou. She was an absolute warrior and it only took a few pages to fall in love with her! Then we have Zeus. Daddy Zeus. As my bestie said, "f*cking perfection in manform" and I couldn't agree more. #GarroGirl
The beginning of Zeus and Loulou's story was sweet and innocent. He was her savior and best friend and over the years, she never forgets her "guardian monster". Their love grew and developed with time. Even their 19 year age-gap and Zeus' inner conflict during the time when Lou was untouchable, could not abate their chemistry as the pull was simply undeniable. It was kismet.
Gosh, this book left me such an emotional wreck. I was a breathless, sobbing mess. But, poetic justice was served in the end. Each book seems to pack a serious punch at every turn and I'm not surprised at how quickly this series is becoming one of my favorites! Now, bring on my girl HR's book with her very own western hero, Lionel Danner *giddy*....more
River of Shadows by Karina Halle catapulted her readers into an imaginative world. It was descriptive and I loved the mythology behind the c3.5 STARS!
River of Shadows by Karina Halle catapulted her readers into an imaginative world. It was descriptive and I loved the mythology behind the creatures and monsters that inhabit Tounela.
The story was slow-moving in the beginning, which I know is usually needed for fantasy world building. However, there was too many pop culture references to truly make it feel like a fantasy story. The elements were there, but it didn't quite hit the mark.
Overall, what kept enticing me back to this story was the God of Death. He's feared by all, but deep down there's a vulnerability about him and he has a heart that cares deeply about those important to him. Also, let's not forget he's a gorgeous being who'll make you swoon with his dirty mouth alone.
Hold on to your seats because this one ends in cliffhanger that might just make you want to destroy things. Book 2 cannot come soon enough!!...more
Disavow, the final installment to The Dumont series by Karina Halle was wickedly thrilling, sexy, and truly the perfect ending to this lavis4.5 STARS!
Disavow, the final installment to The Dumont series by Karina Halle was wickedly thrilling, sexy, and truly the perfect ending to this lavish story!
Gabrielle and her mother came to the Dumont estate when she was just a young girl. As the years past she soon became Gautier's personal maid. Though he was a predator who he hurt and abused her, she managed to escape when she was eighteen. Eight years later, Gabrielle is back in Paris and she wants revenge.
Pascal Dumont is the anti-hero of the story. He's in need of a personal assistant/maid. When he sees Gabrielle he's momentary struck by her unique beauty. She's quick to put him in his place and not bow down to his every whim. With the chance to return to the Dumont estate, Gabrielle can finally seek justice, but what she never expected was to fall for Pascal.
Pascal and Gabrielle are two damaged souls who seek comfort in each other. Pascal sees redemption and hope with Gabrielle. He soon realizes he isn't the villain but a tool, a puppet that was used by Gautier for his own personal gain. If it wasn't for Gabrielle's courage, Pascal wouldn't have changed and grown so much. This, was so wonderful to witness.
The Dumont series was a 'dynasty' royals collection filled with scandal, deception, lies, drama, and above all sexy, edgy, and romantic moments that will leave you at the edge of your seat! I'm looking forward to what else Karina has up her sleeve.

Violent Triumphs, the final installment to the White Monarch trilogy by Jessica Hawkins was exhilarating!
Violent Triumphs begins right at the edge of the cliff where Violent Ends left us!
Natalia has completely changed from the previous books. She is no longer the naive, fragile, obnoxious woman she was in the prior two books. Now she's fierce. Now she's a fighter. Natalia proves herself worthy of standing by Cristiano's side and ruling as his Queen ...more
Violent Ends by Jessica Hawkins is the second book in the White Monarch trilogy.
Cristiano De La Rosa is the sexiest anti-hero you'll ever encounter! Sinful and salacious, oh Lordy does that man pack a mouth on him. He'll seduce you with his words and make you swoon. He's depicted as the monster but in reality his heart is pure gold.
Natalia was the main reason I rated this novel low to be frank. There were moments where she was fierce and stood her ground and others where I couldn't stand her naiveté and to be honest, I just wanted to slap her. She constantly fought against her feelings towards Cristiano, and I understood her anger, but even when the truth was right in front of her face she still questioned it. Overall, the writing was impeccable. The story was intriguing and left me wanting more.
With an undeniable chemistry and hate that slowly begins to bloom into more, you don't want to miss what happens next!...more
Yaasss, I must say Jessica Hawkins did not disappoint!! Violent Delights 🔫 was a story of intrigue, deception, lust, love, betrayal, and loyalty all woven into one that will leave you reeling! 🌹
I won't go into too much detail and spoil the heck out of this book but its crucial that you, the reader, figure it out on your own. Ultimately, Natalia learns her first lesson, she cannot trust anyone. This is the tale of two brothers fighting and loving one woman. Natalia must decide whom she picks at the end. There is much left to be explained and resolved which has me dying for the rest of the books!
So much suspense and angst ugh, I just can't. I hate one brother and love the other. As the story progresses the truth will be brought to light. I'm shook!! 🙊😭. A warning: this book does end in a cliffhanger. So if you hate them, wait until the trilogy is complete to start.

I wanted to enjoy it slowly and take in every moment. Savour it. To say that I hated Damon Torrance is an under statement. That's the beauty of anti-heroes, you soon realize that they're human deep down. Damon was so in-depth and complex. He's scarred but he's not broken. He fought and was very self-aware. He knew when to ask for forgiveness. As my bestie said "he's a soft gummy bear", but he only shows that side to Winter ...more
