Torn between conflicting worlds―one light, one dark―two lovers plunge into the ultimate battle between good and evil in a thrilling romantasy by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.
I was born to hunt the evils hiding in this world. To slay and destroy.
My purpose was never supposed to be her. My forbidden soulmate. Protecting her was meant to be temporary―I’d stay close until I was certain she was safe, and then I would walk away.
I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with her, and I sure as hell wasn’t supposed to take her to my bed. I’d heard my entire life that touching her would only bring us to our deaths.
Except that with my mere touch, power flows through Aria in a way it never has before, and it’s becoming clear that our gods lied to keep us separated and weak.
Together, our strength feels unstoppable. But the monsters hunting her are more sinister than we could have imagined―a threat that could end all humanity.
Will our newfound powers be enough to save us?

Guinevere

And I will raze everything else to the ground to get it.

As the bones of Maevyth’s past are unearthed, and truths unravel with unsettling clarity, the possibility of never leaving Mortasia is becoming more of a reality. Unfortunately for Zevander, time is running out. The longer he stays in the mortal lands, deprived of essential vivicantem, the more he succumbs to the encroaching specter of madness.
Or maybe those chasing shadows are someone hunting him. A wretched evil closing in, threatening to pull him into the darkest corners of his mind.
Only, this time, Maevyth may not have the power to save him.

This was a really nice conclusion for Amelia and Jude.
There is alot of back and forth with them. Amelia tries her best to stay away, but she just can’t resist Jude and he can’t seem to let Amelia go no matter how many times he hears it.
I enjoyed the push and pull as these two try to navigate a new relationship and as secrets are revealed, you feel for these characters. I did find the spicy scenes to be a bit too much at times and at one point, it started to feel like that was all there was to their relationship – a lust attraction. Thankfully Jodi was able to prove it was more.
This book moves fast and Jodi keeps the story entertaining the entire way. I liked how things played out and that she stuck true to who these characters are and didn’t have them doing out of character just for the sake of added filler.
Stars see everything and forget nothing. And sometimes they meddle far too much.

She was wrong.
When the sinister truth slithers its way between the tentative truces formed, some friendships and alliances buckle while others break. But if everyone doesn’t work together to accomplish the seemingly impossible, and fast, all those trapped in Neverland’s gravity will be lost to an insidious darkness forever.
Can Hook and Ava find one another and manage an escape? Or will they be consumed by the malicious shadow and forget one another forever?

The Accardi Twins Duet, an all-new dark mafia romance duet from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is now available!
Cold King of New York, Book 1
Seducing the enemy was the goal—not falling for my mafia boss.
As a rookie spy, my first mission is to seduce the Irish mafia boss’s brother and prove he is behind the threat to the mafioso in The Big Apple.
It’s a dream job.
Except my new boss is sucking all the joy from my life. Don Joshua Accardi seems way too invested in my personal safety, and he’s constantly scolding me for taking too many risks.
Gone is the friendly older guy I knew growing up. His ex’s betrayal changed him. Now, Joshua is a cold, controlling man living his life by a rigid set of self-imposed rules.
He thinks he can push me around and I’ll do his bidding like every other woman in the city.
But I enjoy pushing back and seeing him lose his cool is the ultimate high.
Sparks constantly fly, and it’s not long before we cave to our insane chemistry.
Joshua has wormed his way into my heart, but the downside of loving a powerful man is getting noticed by his enemies.
Now, I’m a target and my mission just got a lot more dangerous.
YES! YES! YES!
Siobhan holds nothing back in Cold King of New York. This is a phenomenal start for the Accardi twins.
Cold King of New York sets the stage and pace for this heart-pounding duet. From the very start, this story grips you and never lets go.
Siobhan truly knows how to create depth to her stories with her uncanny writing style. Her characters are multifaceted, and it becomes so easy to see things from their POV.
This story just flows perfectly as everything unfolds but also adding more twists and turns at the same time. Siobhan blends the romance in perfectly but never pulling away from the true plot of the story.
Cold King of New York is high intensity the entire time and keeps you right in the thick of everything.
I cannot wait to see how this all plays out in Cruel King of New York.
Cruel King of New York, Book 2
The boy I grew up loving is now the made man who broke my heart.
I had one primary goal in life: to marry Don Caleb Accardi, give him lots of babies, and live happily ever after.
Until he shattered my fantasy and destroyed my belief in love.
His playboy status isn’t the issue. I learned to live with his womanizing while patiently waiting on the sideline for him to truly notice me.
But he never has. Not the way I want him to.
One promise. That’s all I asked of him, and he couldn’t even keep it.
Something inside me dies when I learn the truth, and I reach my breaking point.
This is the last time he hurts me.
I’m not saving myself for him anymore.
So, I cut him out of my life and begin dating.
Caleb sure doesn’t like that, and a switch has flipped in his brain.
Now, he wants me. And he’s pulling out all the stops to win back my heart.
Too bad it’s too late—for him and for me.
Because Caleb has powerful enemies who are aware he loves me, and now I’m fair game.
Cruel King of New York is a great ending for this duet (you must read Cold King of New York first).
This book is more romance than suspense than the first book, but don’t let that deter you. This storyline fits the characters and who they are.
Siobhan’s writing allows readers to visualize the changes in Caleb along with the hesitancy in Lili. I love that we see growth in both of them, not only as individuals but together.
Yes, this review is very short and speaks very little of what happens but that’s because the smallest bit of details will give you too much information that you need to discover yourself as you read.
The Accardi Twins duet is a great addition to the mafia world Siobhan has created and brought all of it full circle wonderfully.
That was my husband Jesse’s dying promise, a vow I’m certain he’ll keep. This wasn’t the first lifetime Jesse and I shared, and since love never dies, we knew, someday, we would be reunited.
After he passed away, I thought I’d never experience a love like that again—not in this lifetime anyway—and I accepted that.
But fate had other plans for me…
I met Dev Abramson when his white German shepherd plowed into me in Central Park, knocking me flat on my back, then slathering my face with her effervescent kisses. I was instantly drawn to Dev’s calm, centered presence and to his dog, Sheba, who welcomed me like a long-lost friend.
Dev gave me his card, but I failed to follow up, something I deeply regretted. So, when our paths crossed a second time, I wasn’t about to let him slip away again. I needed to know more about the handsome jazz pianist.
I never expected to fall in love with Dev, but now that I have—I’m afraid if I tell him that I was married to Jesse, one of the most famous rock stars in the world, and that we have shared previous lifetimes—I’ll lose him.
But my connection with Dev was instantaneous and so deep—as if I’d known him forever.
And I can’t help but wonder, maybe I have…

This book touched my soul so deeply. I won’t go into details of this book – the blurb gives you all you need to know. But this book truly shows what a true soulmate is.

If any of my four older brothers find out, they will run him out of town.
