Due to her father being the king of the underground people think that perhaps Ruby was much better off being raised in foster care.<\/p>\n<p>People would be wrong. She\u2019d just traded one monster in for another, an even bigger one.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as an adult, and after the murder of the only family she had left, Ruby finds herself all alone in the world and seeking answers. Answers she has to venture into the underground to find.<\/p>\n<p>Not a safe place for an innocent girl because the underground isn\u2019t just full of criminals. It\u2019s a place of darkness for the real life monsters that most people think are make-believe. The stuff nightmares are made of, that\u2019s what lurks in the underground.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby may be innocent but she\u2019s anything but average. More familiar with monsters than most, she goes looking for answers and a murderer.<\/p>\n<p>And she gets far more than she bargained for.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25373 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/228362138-cursed-by-death?ac=1&amp;from_search=true&amp;qid=zDglt6JwLz&amp;rank=1\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25375 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EX0eoZ\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25377 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Review by Twinsie Angie<\/p>\n<p>I was given this book by the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>I had zero clue what this book was about but when Mary offered it, I jumped.\u00a0 Imagine my shock and excitement when I saw it was a RH\/Paranormal\u2026yes please.<\/p>\n<p>The book starts off with Ruby Jane and her twins being punished.\u00a0 We don\u2019t know why but know it will be part of the story moving forward.\u00a0 Ruby is being raised in an orphanage by a very nasty woman and when she is 18, she us contacted by her dead grandmother\u2019s attorney telling her she is rich. Pride keeps her from accepting the \u201ccharity\u201d until her belly grows.\u00a0 Then Pride be damned.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby is thrown into a world that she knows about but isn\u2019t ready for.\u00a0 I mean she walks her butt into the underground strapped with weapons to find her Mate??\u00a0 WHUTT!!\u00a0 She is none to thrilled.\u00a0 We then mee the other men who will be her harem\u2026..the shifter, the detective, and the hunters aka the twins from childhood.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby has a lot to deal with. But meeting her father wasn\u2019t on the bingo card she planned on playing with.\u00a0 She sure isn\u2019t ready for the demands he makes on her either.\u00a0 The is a great start to a new series.\u00a0 I cant wait to see what happens with all her men and all the ways they should despise each other but work together to be with Ruby Jane.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/melinda-e1649296389766.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25381\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/melinda.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>I was excited but a bit nervous when Mary sent me this book.\u00a0 The title and cover of this book did scare me a bit thinking it was going to be a dark story.\u00a0 I have to say once I started reading it, I was hooked and could not put this one down.\u00a0 I absolutely loved Ruby Jane.\u00a0 She is a loner and can take care of herself. She doesn\u2019t need anyone\u2019s help but oh my how she ends up getting it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby Jane has never had an easy life. She grew up in foster care after being left behind by her parents. She was forced to live with an evil woman but she did have her \u201ctwins\u201d there that helped protect her when she was little. When she was older, the only friend she had was her deceased grandmother\u2019s attorney, old man Thomas, that watched over her. Thomas was the only family she had left until one night he was taken from her.<\/p>\n<p>While trying to figure out why Thomas was taken from her she somehow found herself surrounded by all kinds of men that wanted to protect her.\u00a0 Her twins, Bane and Roan, from her childhood were reunited with her. She found a new friend in the detective Johnny Rowans that was assigned to the murder case. Then there is the shifter, Rally, that claimed her as his mate when she went to the underworld to find answers to her friends\u2019 death.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby Jane is used to being on her own and watching her navigate all these new relationships was entertaining.\u00a0 I have to say it was fun to watch the guys interact with one another even though none of them see eye to eye on things except to protect Ruby Jane.\u00a0 To say Ruby Jane will have her hands full is an understatement. I have to say one of the most shocking things was finding out who her father is and how he plays into this was a bit shocking. I am so exited about this series and so ready to find out what happens next with Ruby Jane and her harem of mixed matched men.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mary Martel was born in West Michigan and spent the majority of her life there.
