Blurb

My past defines me, it drives me.

Every minute of every day it fuels my adrenaline and reminds me that I’m still alive.

Especially now that it’s back to taunt me.

Barely a shadow of my former self, I am the sole proof that my family ever existed.

The only survivor.

I am “J”.

One letter, one sound, unworthy of a full name.

Until today.

Today, I am Jordyn O’Neill and this is my story.

Once again – another new to me author and no-one has told me about them!? Especially when they write such fecking phenomenal dark books!!

N.O. One writes this book like a damn movie. One Kill plays out like you are watching every scene unfold. J is one tough cookie and is not to be messed with. There’s a reason she’s known as The Shadow.

The blurb gives you all need to know. There is so much more that unfolds in this story and I am not about to give one iota of it away.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Dreadful by Greer Rivers

by Courtney

Dreadful by Greer Rivers is now live!

A dark, modern, romantic retelling of Sweeney Todd with a Medusa twist and a happy ever after.
Their revenge is sweet… their love is unhinged.

Fifteen years ago, a girl sacrificed her life for mine. Ever since, justice is all I’ve wanted.

Then Talia entered the stage.

I’m the barber’s son. The Boss’s nephew.

A prince without a throne and only revenge to fuel me.

She’s the bakers’ granddaughter. Sweet Tallie.

Their dolce nipotina. My vipera.

My desires have always stopped at vengeance. She’s made me want more. But my vendetta will destroy everything in my path, and I won’t risk bringing her into my world.

I never suspected she’d snake her way in on her own.

I craved a bite of her sugar and spice, but my little vipera is fangs and venom.

Now all I want is to be bitten.

DREADFUL is a dark, revenge mafia retelling of Sweeney Todd, Hamlet, and Medusa, set in modern-day Boston and a complete STANDALONE in the Tattered Curtain Series. Guaranteed HEA. This story DOES have triggers so please check the author’s website for TW.

Goodreads: https://bit.ly/45Iho1r

Why have I not been told about this series before now?? And why has no one told me about Greer Rivers before now!??!

A dark, mafia romantic retelling of fairytales is my jam!! Dreadful contains that with Sweeney Todd, but also includes some Hamlet and Medusa – HELLO!! FREAKING PHENONMENAL!!

That’s really all my review should be. FREAKING PHENONMENAL!!

Greer weaves one hell of retelling with the perfect dark undertones in this mafia story. Talia’s story is not an easy one – what she endured as a child will leave you enraged. And Sever – he has no idea what he’s gotten himself into when he sees her working at the local bakery.

I won’t give any details away. Just read the blurb and go in from there. It is dark story and Greer’s writing is very intense. Right from the start, Greer’s writing just creates such vivid, graphic scenes and it allows readers to empathize with the characters and understand their actions.

I absolutely loved this book. I love Talia and Sever, and not just their chaotic relationship, but how they create their own story in the end.

“𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐲. 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞.”

ALL THE STARS!!!!!

Meet Greer Rivers

Greer Rivers is a former crime fighter in a suit, but now happily leaves that to her characters as a romance author! A born and raised Carolinian, Greer says “y’all”, the occasional “bless your heart” (when necessary), and feels comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life.

Greer adores strong, sassy heroines and steamy second chances. She hopes to give readers an escape from the craziness of life and a safe place to feel too much. She’d LOVE to hear from you anytime! Except the morning. She hates mornings.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Fate of A Faux by Meagan Brandy & Amo Jones

by Courtney

FATE OF A FAUX

Meagan Brandy AND Amo Jones

Release Date: October 6

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

The King of Darkness is dead.

It’s time for a new one to rise…

London Crow isn’t who I thought she was.

She’s worse.

My hate for her knows no bounds.

My need for her has no end.

But it’s my inability to have her that might just end us all, as the fates refuse to be ignored.

Now, there’s a darkness sweeping the streets of Rathe, threatening to destroy the Kingdom we know and love, and it’s all because of her.

The mate I can’t have.

The bond I can’t let go.

There is only one way to restore balance, and it begins and ends with her.

The problem? I broke the girl into a thousand tiny pieces without a second thought. Earning her forgiveness won’t be easy, but that’s fine.

If she won’t give it freely, I will take it.

One mistake at a time.

Fate of A Faux is the conclusion to London and Knight’s story, but is the second book in Amo & Meagan’s Lords of Rathe series.

This story continues on where Fate of A Royal ended. If you read my review for that one, then you know as a PNR reader, I had mixed feelings on it but was still intrigued enough to continue the series. And I am absolutely glad that I did.

Fate of A Faux definitely has more world building and paranormal elements in it and isn’t as heavy on the romance, which is what I like in my PNR books. For me, this book actually has a great balance of the paranormal aspects and the romance/relationship aspects.

There is a lot more action and twists in this second book. We get to know more about London and her background; we see more of a connection between London and Knight and not just the hot chemistry between them.

The fact that this second book is more enticing and enjoyable than the first is a great indication that Amo and Meagan are learning how to write in this genre and continuously making each book better than the last.

I am looking forward to seeing them develop this world more and learning more about the other Lords and their stories.

Cover Reveal…Bad Boys Don’t Die: The Complete Collection by B.B. Easton

by Courtney

BB Easton has revealed the gorgeous covers for Bad Boys Don’t Die: The Complete Collection!

Releasing: October 5, 2023

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the Netflix original series Sex/Life) comes a New Adult romance with a dark, dystopian twist.

With only three days left until the predicted apocalypse, the small town of Franklin Springs, Georgia, has become a wasteland of abandoned cars, abandoned homes, abandoned businesses, and abandoned people. People like Rainbow Williams.

Rain isn’t afraid of dying. In fact, she’s looking forward to it. If she can just outrun her pain until April 23, she’ll never have to feel it at all.

Wes Parker has survived every horrible thing this life has thrown at him with nothing more than his resourcefulness and disarming good looks. Why should the end of the world be any different? All he needs are some basic supplies, shelter, and a sucker willing to help him out, which is exactly what he hops to find when he returns to his hometown of Franklin Springs.

As society crumbles, dangers mount, and secrets refuse to stay buried, two lost souls are thrust together in a twist of fate—one who will do anything to survive and one who can’t wait to die.

Perhaps, together, they can learn how to live.

Before their time runs out.

Titles Included in The Complete Collection:

Bad Boys Don’t Die

Bad Boys Don’t Stay

Bad Boys Don’t Fall

Meet BB Easton

BB Easton is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, the hilarious, steamy, tell-all memoir that inspired the Netflix Original Series, SEX/LIFE. Within the first month, SEX/LIFE was viewed by 67 million households worldwide, making it the 3rd Most-Watched Netflix Original Series of all time.

BB was a stressed-out school psychologist and mother of two when the inspiration to write 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN struck. Through that process, she rediscovered her passion for writing, became dangerously sleep-deprived, and finally mustered enough courage to quit her job and become a full-time author.

BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly autobiographical books in the 44 CHAPTERS series: SKIN, SPEED, STAR, and SUIT. Since then, she’s been hard at work writing fictional stories that appeal to her love for us-against-the-world romance, including a suspenseful dystopian trilogy (BAD BOYS DON’T DIE), a psychologist-client romantic comedy (GROUP THERAPY), and a dark Irish mafia romance (DEVIL OF DUBLIN).

I have a secret…

And I’ve kept this secret hidden since I was eight years old. But I’ll no longer allow my past to define me.

A fateful decision has left me a fugitive on the run. I should be afraid, yet I’ve never felt more alive.

My name is Mia Lee, but that person died the night I spilled blood and didn’t feel a thing.

I’m on a Greyhound bus, ready to start a new life. A life that includes finding my mother, who left without a word when I was three.

But I end up meeting four people who change my life forever. And one person, in particular, shakes things up beyond repair.

Quinn Berkeley.

He’s just as damaged as I am. And harbors secrets just as dark as mine. But he gives me hope that living a normal life is within reach.

However, the blood on my hands has forever stained my soul.

No one can outrun their past.

Especially one filled with bitter memories that refuse to remain…dead.

I did not read this book when it was originally released back in 2014 so I jumped at the chance to read it this go around.

Mia/Paige has definitely lived a horrific and unthinkable life since the age of 8. It has definitely hardened her and shaped her into the fierce 19-year-old she is today.

Hoping to make a new life, she stops in a town in hopes of just earning enough money to continue on her journey to her next destination. What she had not anticipated was finding people who would welcome and accept her as she is.

Monica wrote a gripping dark romance that will have readers begging for the next installment (thank goodness we don’t have long to wait). The pacing of this story was perfect as it allowed for everything to play out naturally and nothing felt forced to happen just to create more drama.

I loved everything about this book. The characters are unique – some you will love, some you will hate, but these characters will bring out strong feelings and that’s the whole point.

I loved the layers this story has and cannot wait to see what happens next.

LOVE SICK

Monica James

Series: Heart Memory Transfer Duet: Book Two

Genre: Dark Romance/ Gothic Horror

Cover Model: Darcie Hamilton @darcie_hamilton

Photographer: Michelle Lancaster @lanefotograf

Cover Designer: Lori Jackson Design @lorilovesbookjackson

All I want is revenge.

But I’m afraid it will destroy me because I’m not a monster.

Or maybe I am.

And that’s thanks to Doctor Alanna Norton.

She’s tortured me.

She’s made me forget who I am.

And she’s done all this in the name of love.

But the love I feel for my son, who was stolen from me, will triumph. I won’t accept any other outcome.

There is another love which I will fight for—Dutch Atwood.

But what I find…the sting of betrayal lingers. I look at Dutch through new eyes; he doesn’t trust me, and I don’t trust him.

I’m faced with so many scenarios—I wish I knew how this story ends so I can make the right choice.

But there is no right in the hand I was dealt.

Alanna wants love so badly, so I intend to show her what true love looks like, because the only thing that matters is getting out of here…but not before I take from Alanna what she took from me.

Her heart.

YES! YES! YES!

Cue all the accolades and applause for Monica!!

HOT DAMN!! Monica, you have blown me away with this duet.

Love Sick is the continuation of Heart Sick and conclusion to this duet. And god damn, it was worth the wild and chaotic ride.

This duet is like nothing I have read before and Monica’s delivery of this story is superb. I was enraptured from the start and no matter how disturbing the scene became, I was all in!!

“In every book, every reader wants to know why… why did the villain do what they did? They want to know their backstory to know why they’re the bad guy”

GAH!! This book, this duet, was insane in the best ways. I could not get enough of it.

Luna and Dutch’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful.

Just go read it but heed the trigger warnings if you are sensitive to certain things.
