Tyson's story starts out this series of dark college romance and it's obscure secret society.

The Sacrifice: A Dark Revenge Romance
This is the prelude to Haunting Adeline. It documents Sibby's sick and twisted carnival killing days. Extremely violent and graphic.
Satan's Affair
This is the first book in this series. There is a good amount of backstory introduced so the first half of the book drags a bit. But the second part makes up for it! "Run little Mouse, run." I love the poetry bits of celestial beauty Zade spews rando...

The second book in this installation picks up where the last one left off. Zade must inflitrate and navigate the ugly underbelly of the sex trafficking world as he hunts for his Little Mouse. Nothing will keep him from tracking down his beloved Adeli...

Shorter book to offer back story on Adeline's predecessors. The cycle of obsession, stalking, and betrayal appears to date back decades...
Where's Molly
Long read but it keeps you very engaged! The very spicy smut scenes start right away in this book, so definitely NOT a slow burn. I love all the taboo stereotypes this book breaks. Who wouldn't want three boyfriends? Her bed is definitely never cold....
Untamed Vixen
The sequel to UV picks up right where the last book left off, our heroine healing from her gunshot wound. Will there be a new addition our protagonist's roster.. I mean boyfriend list? Reverse harem at its finest, just when you thought there wasn't e...

Pool Reads
A little spice, a little romance, perfect for lounging poolside.

Ugly Love
Even the cover screams beachside reading. Malibu never looked so dreamy, although it may have to do with the characters and their beautiful bodies. Even California fires couldn't snuff out this Love.
Malibu Rising
Fun read for the hockey puck bunny ladies.
Icebreaker
Thriller
Lisa Jewell is probably my favorite author right now. Her edge of the seat thrillers always hit for me.
This is the book that got me back into reading! But who is it that's actually watching whom?

Nobody can watch you if they don't notice you. And if they don't notice you, does that make you invisible? What is it that people do when they don't think anyone is watching them?
Invisible Girl: A Novel
This was a page turner, couldn't put this one down. Definitely a quick read.
Her One Mistake
I read this in like two days, this was so good! The woman she works for can't walk or talk... so how did she see her in the window and who is telling her son secrets not to tell? Oh Verity, you sure are full of all the wrong kinds of surprises 😮
Verity
Book 1 was so good, such a page turner. Book 2 was a fast read too, I love how the author switches perspectives in different parts of the book. I've heard Book 3 is harder to digest, I've yet to try.
The Housemaid - 3 book series
This started out a bit slow but once Ruby is back and not going anywhere, plenty starts to come out of the woodwork. A shocking conclusion to a tale of wrongfully misplaced trust. A little gossip never hurt anyone - or so they thought it wouldn't.
Such a Quiet Place: A Novel
Investigating the suicide of your best friend shouldn't make people this uneasy. After all, if it was a suicide, what on earth would there be to investigate?
The Last House Guest
