I said I wanted more, and that's what Pensy gave us! This takes place after The Ice Diamond Cuff, but you don't have to read The Custodian Novels to understand it.

This one is tough. It's not warm and light and silly, this is dark and real. MAUS takes us through the Holocaust through the eyes of the child of two survivors. I had to read it in high school, and it's stuck with me for years. Don't let the fact tha...

Contemporary

This was the first book by Allison Temple that I read, and it was amazing! It was also my first MLM romance, and I like to say it was "realistically unrealistic." Why? Well, you have to read it to find out!

Fantasy

Might have romance, might not

 
Chev Gauss profile picture
Hey look! A series that isn't romance! Eragon is awesome, it brings you into a different world. One with magic, dragons, and so much mystery. It's great to see a dragon hatch for an orphaned farm boy, then you get to see how his life changes.

Dark Romance

Self explanatory

Okay, I don't own this specific edition (I want a hardcover though), but I read this the year it came out. And I've been hooked since then! Nicole takes you into a wonderful, realistic world that shows you what can lie in the shadows.

If you're not ready for dark romance, you aren't going to be ready for the twists and turns Nicole throws at you in this novel. I went through so many emotions the first time I read it, to the point that I had to stop and cuss Nicole out mentally.
Ignite

Book 3 in HOTI and man does Nicole throw every wrench she can at you. The twists and turns she pulls you through are insane. But I loved every second of it.
Flash Point: Heart of the Inferno: Book III
 
Chev Gauss profile picture
The final novel in the main Heart of the Inferno series. I won't lie, I cried when I finished it. Nicole brought me into a world I didn't know could exist and I loved every second of it.
Embers: Heart of the Inferno: Book IV

I know I said with Ignite that you aren't ready for it if you don't want dark romance. Well, this blows it out of the water. Nicole shows you the backstory for two characters we meet in HOTI, but it's a lot darker than HOTI. It's hard to hate Rachel ...
Lies In The Dark

Chev Gauss profile picture
Set in the same world and time as HOTI, Charly Nicole (a co-author pseudonym) shows you another mafia in America - this time in New York. And it's got some fun, dark twists you won't see coming, I promise you that much.

Nonfiction

I'll admit, I haven't finished reading this yet, but it's so interesting. It's dark, so make sure you're in the right headspace for it, but it's worth it.
