Absolutely YES, 6 STARS 🖤
Excellent start to a truly amazing series. Possibly the best trilogy in fantasy. A genuine masterpiece of the genre. I hope you will be in love with it as much as I did.
Jade City (Green Bone Saga) by Fonda Lee
If you're looking for hard core smut and dirty kinks, this book is for you! I greatly enjoyed this book. Especially the audio book. The story line was entertaining and the taboos were even better. This book is definitely not for the light hearted. Re...

Pretty Monster by Sheridan Anne
And yet another perfectly written novel by Katee Robert! I’m obsessed with this series and each one gets better and better! A great re-telling of Helen and Achilles.
Wicked Beauty (Dark Olympus Series) by Katee Robert 3/9
Honestly one of the best dark/paranormal romance books I’ve read. Like Buffy or The Vampire Diaries but with tons more spice, a titillating fork-tongued demon, and a ritualistic monster cult. Please enjoy reading it as much as I did
Her Soul to Take (Souls Trilogy) by Harley Laroux 1/3
Dark romantic comedy series of interconnected stand-alone novels following the Kane brothers and the badass women they fall in love with. Expect dual POVs, happily-ever-after endings, and some pain, heartache, and comedy along the way. Please read re...
