It’s giving The Craft + Jennifer’s Body 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
 
Guess whoooooo. Back again. 🫣🫣🫣🫣 
 
Soooo I see why we picked homeboy…. But is the professor next orrrr?? 
 
If a group of women told me to go into a secret room behind a bookshelf. I couldn’t say no, no matter what was behind it. I’d just need a little looksee. 👀 
 
Sooo ummm. As usual. 
 
Until next time,

Oh mylanta! These aren’t your typical cuddly stuffed animals. They weren’t saying cute and catchy phrases when you pulled a string, that’s for sure. I went in blind after a friend recommended this to me and I’m so glad I did! I really enjoyed everything this story had to offer! The story line was allll the way there. Such a greatly written story. I will be waiting for the rest. Not patiently, but I’ll be waiting.

Best MC I have read in a long time! I read it in a few hours. With a twist out of nowhere, I wasn’t putting it down. I loved that Maddox and Helena had so much history but of course the timing wasn’t right. As soon as Helena needed her knight and shining chrome, he was there. And he wasn’t letting her go this time. 
 
I can’t wait to read more about the other members of the MC. I am officially hooked on this series.

It took me a while to finish this book, I just couldn’t pick it up. Because I didn’t want it to END! 
 
After reading all of the other books by L. Clara reading this one was a surprise and what a great one at that. If you’re familiar with the MMCs from the Unexpected series you’ll know that they all will bust down some doors for their women. Pocket on the other hand, she’ll beat any man with the door. It’s the blue hair, we do it better. 😈💁🏻‍♀️ 
 
Loved everything about this book. 
 
Song reference - Check 
Greys Anatomy reference - Check 
Shout out to the amazing Sarah Hurts - Double Check

When you’re ready to be more impatient, I’ll be right here waiting. 🫶🏼

Crown of Betrayal by Melusine Ashford

5.0

This book was something I haven’t read in a long time! This dark fantasy will make sure you miss your bedtime. I really thought I had it all figured out, nope wrong. Oh so wrong. Zaida the flipping princess of The Kingdom of Shadows, that girl went through it. Did she stop? Nope. She got right up in front of all her people and said what any real leader would say. Fae or not, no lies detected here. 
 
She let the pigeons go. Then there went my heart. ☹️ 
 
I can’t wait to see what’s to come of this new author! Give me alllll the darkness please. 
 
Until next time,

I don’t really know what to say other than “oh my oz!!!” This series was wrapped so perfectly. When I read the first book at the beginning of this year, I didn’t know how heartbroken I would be now that it’s over 😫 I am little forward to what’s next! 
 
If you want to read an amazing Wizard Of Oz retelling here you go!

As always, read the TWs! Also for this book, you might need tissues. 😞 
 
I haven’t read anything like this before! How  many times did I groan in agony? I lost count, it was more than 3 times that’s for sure! 
How many times did I go back and read the last chapter with big cry baby tears? I lost count of that also. 
 
This flipping book! I instantly thought to myself “This slump is not going to be fun”. It in fact has not been fun. The story line, the twist and secrets! It was exhilarating. The fact that I ran to recommend this book to some friends and they were intrigued. Even though all I said “FBI profilers, ones actually the *cereal person* and stuff starts getting wild!” Enough said. I loved this book! Especially since it did make me cry. That’s a challenge for sure. Only a handful of books have made me cry. This one though, I even had a little lip quiver going on. 😫😅 
 
Until next time,

As always please read the TWs! 
You might want to also read Rage before jumping Into this one. It is a standalone but it’s even better when you've read both! Go ahead and grab all J.S. Cannon’s books while you’re at it! You won’t regret it. 
 
Something about the way this book began instantly made me binge read the whole thing in one sitting. The amount of hurt and anger you feel from Savannah was brutal. When she finally got the opportunity to just ☠️☠️☠️☠️ someone, she found herself in a whole other world. She also finds herself a stalker but not the bad kind, if that’s an actual thing. But this stalker comes with free food and a puppy. 
 
 I loved that this book tied into Rage, because what goes better with chaos??? Two FMCs who shouldn’t be messed with! I thought for a moment, what about Paige and Logan……I still haven’t healed. 💔 
 
When it came down to the climax, the one involving the plot of course. 😉 I was ready for all the crazy doings. Victor was definitely not a fair fight, who punches someone after being *poked really hard*? Someone shouldn’t have left that arm there. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
 
The ending had me ready to 🤢😷. I just kept thinking “You can’t do this to me again 😫😫😫”. 
 
I can’t wait to see what’s next 😉😉 Hopefully more pink lawn chairs and Rottweilers 🖤

So here is the rundown. 
 
Mafia man kidnaps girl, girl isn’t the right girl buttttttt, She’s still down for the job and down for a few other things as well. 🥵🥵🥵 Oh! There was a piano involved, you do NOT want to miss that. I love the Moonlight Sonata! 
 
Harmony gets wined and dined by her not so wonderful BIL. He definitely dined and dashed though, you can’t tell me otherwise. He knew what was to come and he was probably broke, so why not 🤷🏻‍♀️ As long as you always tip your server. ☝🏼 
 
Then the fun happens. Times two. 
“Please, mi amore, let me play too.” 
 
Anywhooooo, this book was a short one so I’m gonna to wrap it up before I spill all the beans. 🫘 
 
But also, I’ll be waitinggggg 😈😈😈

If you want to laugh your ass off while also learning about a whole different meaning to double pene * -* tration, this book right here. You will not be disappointed, maybe a little bit when it’s over. The FMC is an Alpha Omega who finds herself stuck between two brothers, who are a Hydra.  If you don’t quite know what that is don't worry you’ll find out…. But a little hint, there are two heads. You’re welcome.
