He’s promised me sunlight.
Hope for a better future.
Freedom from this horror.
A life that doesn’t end in a dark cellar.
But, we’re trapped together.
Forced to live for the worst kind of people.
Desperate to survive for each other.
I crave his touch with every breath I take.
My heart aches for him.
He’s my hope for survival.
The man I want a future with.
I can have it all again, if only I trust him.
Even if that’s the only thing I can’t do.
Dolly by Measha Stone, narration by Michele Blackstone
I purchased the audio and paperback of this book.
I bought this paperback a year ago?? Like right when it came out. I like dark books but I gotta work my way up to reading them. I know I am weird. ANYWAY! I finally decided this was the time. I saw the audio was available and since it was 5 hours that would only take me a day to read.
I want to start out by saying the narration was not my favorite. I would have loved to have a female voice it AKA Dolly vs having a man AKA Ken Doll voice the story. I also didn’t get drawn into the story with Michele voicing the characters and the story either. I pushed through because I wanted the story. The story was where it was at.
Ok yall. This book is a little slower to start but I wanna say PAY ATTENTION to the beginning 10-11 chapters because once we hit chapter 12-13, ITS GO TIME!!! I was there for it. Dolly and Ken Doll are trapped and being abused by 2 horrible humans but why??? WELL, we soon discover why when they get free and go on their bloody revenge tour. I was there for that as well. The stuff we learn in each chapter had me saying YOOOOOO WHAT. And also, a big GASP with “I did Not see that coming!!” I mean I knew stuff would be flying outta closets but it got me good with the twists.
The story of Dolly/Abigail and Ken Doll/Brian was a good one. The relationship between the 2 characters was sweet and loving one minute while total Bonnie and Clyde murders the next!!

I’ve forgotten the answer to that question long ago. Ever since I ran from that house, so desperate to escape, I left with only the clothes on my back and socks on my feet. After that day, I’ve only ever walked in stolen shoes.
Could I be a girl who is searching for the meaning of life in faceless men? They were all so forgettable. Until he came along. He took me under a waterfall and made me forget my name, and in return, I took his instead.
Enzo Vitale.
An enigmatic man that will only ever love the deep sea. Or rather the predators that inhabit it. Turns out, he’s not so different than the monsters he feeds. He lured me onto his boat like a fish in the ocean, seeking vengeance for my crime. Had I realized his intentions, and that a massive storm would leave us shipwrecked, I would’ve ran.
Now, I’m a girl who’s seeking refuge in a decrepit lighthouse with a man who loathes me almost as much as he craves me. He wants to hurt me, but the old caretaker of the abandoned island may have intentions far more sinister.
It’s no longer a question of who I am, but rather, will I survive?
I received this audio book from the authors PR firm for an honest review.
Man there is so much to say before I get into the review for this book. I read the Adeline duet like everyone and liked it a ton. So when this book initially was released I didn’t grab it because I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to the hype in my head after Adeline. I let it go for a bit and was getting ready to grab the book when her PR firm offered a review audio copy. Audio is my JAM and I said yes!! Troy and Michelle were amazing voices for the story and kept me fully invested. I loved loved loved the audio so much with them telling the story.
Now when I jumped into the story I could SEE a similar vibe between Enzo/Sawyer and Adeline/Zade and I was ALLLL in. However, the story changed directions and so did the characters. Now I see a lot of Enzo hate because he isn’t Zade and I don’t think that is fair. Enzo isn’t a great guy but yes he isn’t Zade. But Enzo is a great anti hero initially. He does some not nice things to Sawyer on the boat when he finds his “Little Thief”. When the 2 are stranded on the island with creepy Sylvester the story changed its vibe again from an Adeline vide to a mystery/paranormal. There were a lot of things going on but through it all, Sylvester was CREEPY!! LOL
I did enjoy the story and the twist of everything that was happening at the light house. I did enjoy the story of the survival and how Sawyer could change her life drastically. I loved Enzo hating and then fully loving Sawyer. I loved him pushing her and pushing her until she too was in love with him. I absolutely loved the story for what it was…which is Sawyer and Enzo’s story.
What I didn’t care for …the sex filler. Ya’ll I love me some sexy times but there were times I felt like oh hey lets just fill this chapter with sex and then move on. I mean I skimmed a few sexy times because it didn’t move the story forward. It was just filler.
So if you loved Adeline go into this with a different head space. It isn’t as dark, there are dark themes, but understand Enzo and Sawyer are 2 different characters. Their story is nothing like Zade and Adeline.

Orange Is the New Black meets Walter Dean Myer’s Monster in this gritty, twisty, and haunting debut by Tiffany D. Jackson about a girl convicted of murder seeking the truth while surviving life in a group home.
Mary B. Addison killed a baby.
Allegedly. She didn’t say much in that first interview with detectives, and the media filled in the only blanks that mattered: a white baby had died while under the care of a churchgoing black woman and her nine-year-old daughter. The public convicted Mary and the jury made it official. But did she do it?
There wasn’t a point to setting the record straight before, but now she’s got Ted—and their unborn child—to think about. When the state threatens to take her baby, Mary’s fate now lies in the hands of the one person she distrusts the most: her Momma. No one knows the real Momma. But does anyone know the real Mary?
I was looking on TikTok about a week ago, for some disturbing books. I couldn’t find anything that struck my fancy, so I went on Pinterest and came across a pin about this book, along with a few others. So of course, I bought it.
First, I 100% suggest going in blind – if you can of course. I know a lot of us need to read the blurb but with this book, it was so much more fun, going in with no information at all.
Now I will preface this by saying that this is NOT a romance, while there are some romantic elements in it. It’s YA and packs quite the punch. It’s like Orange Is The New Black but with younger characters. Also, the main premise of this book is that the lead character “killed a baby”, so if that’s a trigger, please read with caution.
This book is raw and gritty in the best of ways. It’s dark, written well and kept me engaged from the first few chapters in to the end. I will be honest and say that it did take me about 3 chapters to get fully invested in this story but once I did, wow. Just wow.
Mary…oh Mary. I really couldn’t predict the outcome of this book. I was a mixture of feelings when it came to this girl. And I say “girl” because she is just a kid.
Mary was accused of killing a baby and this book recounts what actually happened. It’s a “did Mary actually kill this baby?” kind of story. We don’t even know exactly who Mary is until the very end of the book. Now I did glance at some reviews saying that they lowered their star rating based on the last chapter but I honestly thought it ended perfectly. I was left in shock and I sat there for a few minutes after turning that last page and thinking “wow.” Now that’s a job well done on the author part.
I won’t give much away because like I said, I do suggest going in not knowing much about this book at all.
So if you like stories filled with grit, mystery, family drama, and “who dunnit” moments, I highly reccommend reading this one!

Whoa! Holy what the heck did I just read?! I have the worst (best) book hangover! A friend of mine read this and immediately recommended the book to everyone. She said the best way to go in was completely blind. Okay, I’ll bite. I purchase the book without reading the blurb on the back, I have no clue who this author is, and did not check out any of the reviews. I highly suggest doing the same, you won’t regret it. Now, if you refuse to go in blind, please continue on and I’ll tell you a little about the story.
This story is about Mary, who is now 16, but at age 9 was convicted of murdering an infant. The story dives deep into the life she has led leading up to this point. In jail, mostly in solitaire because no one knew what to do with such a young murder. She experienced mental and physical abuse…this will make you cringe. She is trying to survive. She is now in a group home and ends up getting pregnant by Ted. He is another group home convict. Mary is truly trying to make something for herself and with some help she starts advocating for herself. She is smart and wants to keep her baby, but she also must literally watch out for her life while living in the group home. A necessary evil. Some of the people in her life are incredibly terrible, but some are really genuine. The hardest part is trying to figure out exactly who you can trust. I went through most of this story just knowing that she was going to win but then you start to feel the doom and gloom. Then, all of a sudden, this crazy curve ball comes flying from out in left field and I sat here like, I can’t believe that just happened. But then the end actually happens, and I just sat there trying to comprehend what I just read. Like, did that just happen? Yeah, that did just happen…OMG! The twist at the end made my head spin!

Blaming himself for his best friend’s suicide, former Army Ranger Jase Larken, retreated from life. To honor his best friend’s memory and assuage his guilt, he started an outdoor adventure company to help veterans with PTSD.
Bree had better things to do than catch her cheating fiance in bed with another woman. Jase is something better – for a night at least. For the first time in years, Jase wanted more. When he finds her again, he doesn’t give her another chance to run.
Jase’s protectiveness grates on Bree’s independent nature. She’s dealt with her fair share of alpha-male, door kickers and doesn’t need one telling her what to do now. But as a new danger emerges, Bree and Jase must face their pasts, before someone’s obsession with Bree destroys any chance they have of a future.

While retrieving his sister from the pack who’d saved her, the last thing Luke expected was setting his eyes on his true mate. Unable to return to his pack without Adira, he sets out to woo the fascinating and formidable woman.
Choosing which pack to settle down with should be the biggest trial ahead of them. But when someone sets out to tear them a part, the ever logical and calm Luke learns there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for the woman he loves.
Can he ask her to stay with a target on her back, or will he choose to leave his now-whole family behind?

Warning: This is the second and final installment to the Duet. You must read Haunting Adeline first.
The first book and this book are 2 totally different realms of reading. If you saw my review for book 1 you will recall I said I didn’t think it as all THAT dark. Well that is NOT the case for book 2. Book 1 is a cupcake with a scoop of ice cream on a summers day in comparison to book 2. It is a throat punch from beginning to end. The anxiety I had for the beginning part of the book is not anything I expected to have/deal with.
Book 2 is split into 2 parts and I have to say….BRAVO, I loved the way the book was written. Because the book is in 2 parts my review will also be split in to 2 parts.
Part 1 is Not for the weak of heart. It is not for someone who has any issues with triggers because this part of the story is a landmine of triggers. The rape, sexual assaults, abuse, etc are OFF The CHARTS!! SO if you take this book on, know you will be uncomfortable and you will be horrified. You will also be cheering as people are murdered and again, I questioned my mental health with this book. The author did an amazing job making me feel broken and destroyed and THEN we enter part 2.
Part 2 is much “easier” but its still brutal. We are seeing Adeline deal with the trauma she endured but we are also seeing Adeline grow. She is not the same woman and I gotta say, she is an even better match for Zade now then before. Adeline’s ARC over the 2 books was amazing. She goes from a carefree woman to a woman on a mission of revenge.
Zade…omg can I say I fell even more in love with him. He is not a good man. He is the best Antihero I have ever read. He is not the guy you should be rooting for and yet when he makes Adeline mac n cheese wearing an apron for dinner…..I was melting. Yes melting!!! Zade teaches his mouse a lot but vengeance and bloodletting are the biggest lessons along with loving your person with your entire being.
GAH this book ruined me in all the best ways possible.
Now I hear Sibbie is getting a book. SHUT UP and take my money!! I need more of that crazy ass Bish and her henchmen…but who is Craven???
H. D. Carlton is an International Bestselling Author. She lives in Ohio with her partner, two dogs, and cat. When she’s not bathing in the tears of her readers, she’s watching paranormal shows and wishing she was a mermaid. Her favorite characters are of the morally gray variety and believes that everyone should check their sanity at the door before diving into her stories.
Cordelia has never known anything but the safety of her fathers guarded compound where she’s lived her entire life. A life that, as the alphas daughter, has always been a privileged one, albeit an incredibly sheltered one.
Until one night, life as she knows it, is flipped entirely upside down when she’s promised to another alpha in order to buy safety for her father’s pack. This doesn’t exactly sit well for Cordelia seeing as she has different plans for her life, even if she doesn’t know what those plans are just yet. Out of fear of what she doesn’t want her life to become, she does the unthinkable and tells her father the one thing he’ll never tolerate from anyone in his pack, especially not his daughter. She tells him no.
As a result, Cordelia learns just what kind of depraved man and alpha her father is and is left a broken, bleeding mess because of it.
After finding kindness and compassion from two strange men who show up at the compound and help her when she is no longer capable of helping herself, Cordelia does the only thing she thinks she can do in order to survive and not be stuck in a world of abuse and misery.
She runs.
Unfortunately for Cordelia, she doesn’t make it very far before she finds herself in trouble again and at the mercy of another male with alpha tendencies. This alpha also comes with a brother by blood and one by choice.
The problem is, Cordelia’s not so sure she could ever find a place in a pack again after everything she’s survived. She won’t have long to figure it out though because, no matter the cost, her father is determined to find her and bring her home.
Warning – Due to certain sensitive sexual subject matter and abusive situations, this book may contain triggers for some people.
It’s also a Reverse Harem book.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Jesus lemme get my head straight after reading this book. If there are a few things you need to know about Mary and her stories here they are…..Her men love FIERCE, Her Women are NOT WEAK, The chemistry is crazy in all the right places, and there will be blood…LOL …but I am serious!!
Now if you read the trigger warning I will say it’s not AS ROUGH of a scene as I was expecting or have read in the past but friends, its hard. Its hard because how can someone who should love and protect you, do that to you!! Its also quickly done and done well so we feel for Cordelia, but mainly so we can understand the shape that Cal and Luca find her in…it was bad…….
Cal, Luca and Darius……they are all so special to Cordelia for their own reasons, but this book is owned by Darius. Dude, he was so scary and then so sweet but so fierce. I mean I don’t think I knew how menacing he was until we see him with his old pack….dang he was hawt!!!
Cal and Luca long for their time for Cordelia but understand and show true patience to be with their girl because make no bones about it, SHE. IS. THEIR. GIRL!
Seeing the story of the impending war due to everything that plays out in the book is making me on edge because the 4 of them need to be on the same page to stick together and to make sure no one feels left out of this unusual mating!!

SO I have seen this book on Tiktoc and was like hrrmmmmmm. I mean I like dark but dark scares me. Anywho, I went to an author event, and she was there. Thankfully I had VIP so my wait was only 20 minutes. I jumped up and bought the duet without really knowing what the book was about except the following: 1. Stalker 2. DubCon 3. Hella dark. I pulled up my big girl panties and dove in. Also because of the gigantic size of the book, I purchased the audio. LAWD Teddy’s voice was like butter. *Fans self* He totally brought Zade to life for my in the biggest way possible. Since I am giving out compliments, I gotta say Michelle was perfectly vulnerable as Addie. She was also very sassy bringing Addie to life as well.
So lets discuss all that is with this book. Remember I said it was dark. Well I guess I expected it to be darker….now don’t go thinking this is hearts and flowers ya’ll because that it is not. Its not ok in parts and there is absolute dark themes but with that said….I expected worse. I am worrying about my mental health at this time.
Addie was just doing her life. She was drinking with her bestie and signing books when Zade sees her AND decided she was his. Zade did “everything he could” to let her go…by everything he obsessed over her and checked in to her life in every aspect before ….well going after his little mouse.
Their relationship is crazy. She is being overwhelmed by him and the more and more they are together he is becoming overwhelmed by her and her acceptance of him.
The side plot of who killed Gigi, I was like meh when it was discussed but yet at the end I was like OH SNAP….I mean didn’t see it coming.
The cliffhanger at the end, I thought I had it figured out and much like the whole damn book with situations when I thought I knew what was up…I was damn wrong!!!! I am absolutely obsessed and need the next audio like right effing now!! Zade and Addie….I need the final. From what I understand its super gory and I am there for it. I mean I cheered when a box of body parts shows up at Addie’s door. LOL Again, I question my mental health.

Since I was born blind, most would think I’m missing out on a lot life has to offer, but with them— my silent suitors— I know that’s not true.
It started with only one.
Every night he would sneak into my room, and every night I was left wanting more.
I’ve never known what it’s like to see, so it was easy for him to stay hidden, but when one set of hands turns into two, and eventually three, my thirst for answers becomes unbearable.
Each one of them are calculated and smart— making sure to only give me enough to keep me satisfied throughout the day before they return again in the night.
Our little game continued for months— years— before they finally revealed their identities, and although it’s all I wanted to know, now it just makes things more complicated.

All I wanted was to get what I was owed. I carried out the hit as I was hired to do by Irish Mob boss, Vernon O’Keenan. It’s not my fault they found out too late that they had the wrong man. All I wanted was my money. I thought I could kidnap the Mafia Princess Brianna O’Keenan and get the ransom money. What I got was so much more!
Ruthless, feisty, and incredibly sexy, she’s far from the timid daddy’s girl I was expecting. Bree has her own agenda. She wants to dominate in a world ruled by men. I have no doubt she can do it, but she will need my help. Her family rules state only males can run the business. So, Bree proposes we get married. She gets to rule, and I get more money than I ever dreamed of.
Two dark, evil worlds collide when we agree to our black wedding. We will fight each others enemies and come out on top. But what happens if we develop real feelings and we realise our wedding wasn’t all that black?

Emma Luna is a midwife and lecturer who lives in Cambridgeshire, UK, despite her heart still very much being Northern. She lives surrounded by her crazy family; her Mum, who is her best friend and biggest fan; her Dad who helps her remember to always laugh; her Grandparents and Brother who can never read what she writes and her long suffering man-child Boyfriend who she couldn’t live without (but don’t tell him that!).
In her spare time she likes to create new worlds and tell the stories of the characters that are constantly shouting in her head. She also loves falling into the worlds created by other authors and escaping for a while through reading.
When she’s not adulting or chasing her writing dream she loves dog-napping her Mums shih-tzu Hector, chilling curled up on the sofa with her Boyfriend binge watching the latest series or movie, drinking too much diet coke (it’s her drug of choice), buying too many novelty notebooks, and completing adult colouring books as a form of relaxation. Oh and she is a massive hardcore Harry Potter geek. Ravenclaw for life!
