Drew, an all-new dark revenge romance, and the final book in the Rydeville Elite Series from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is now available!
Mistakes and secrets.
My life is littered with them.
And it’s not always me who pays the price.
So, I do something I swore I wouldn’t do—become the monster my father raised me to be.
To shield my loved ones from the predators I hunt, I keep family and friends in the dark, but I won’t apologize for protecting them.
I do what needs to be done, and I’ve accepted my fate.
My heart is an impenetrable fortress now, and my only pleasure comes from anonymous encounters in the private dungeon of a club where I unleash my inner beast.
Years have passed, but my thirst for vengeance never dies.
I’ll tear the world apart to find the answers I seek.
No one will stop me from having my revenge.
Including the woman who took a wrecking ball to my heart.
Loving me hasn’t ended well in the past. Why would this time be any different?
“Where are we going?” Charlie asks from the passenger seat of my SUV as I turn off the road and drive through the open gates of the private entrance that leads to the old, abandoned hotel situated thirteen miles from Rydeville.
“You wanted to know, and the best way is to show you,” I supply as my cell pings with an incoming call. I press the button to accept Blackwood’s return call. “About damn time,” I growl.
“You’re not my only client.” His voice rings out through the car speakers.
“I’m the only client that matters.”
“Your arrogance never fails to astound me,” he replies in a droll tone.
“You’re not the first person to tell me that today,” I admit, and Charlie snorts. Silence descends for a few beats. “It’s okay,” I tell my contact. “Barron is with me, and he’s about to find out everything.”
“Good. That’s good. It’s long overdue.”
“Don’t have a clue who you are, but you talk sense,” Charlie says as I navigate along the bumpy driveway, maneuvering around potholes and bits of the old fence that litter our way.
“Ezra is my PI and personal hacker,” I explain, turning the windshield wipers on as the heavens open, tipping sheets of rain from the sky.
“I want to be there when you tell Daniels, Hunt, and Anderson.” Charlie chuckles.
“They will never know,” I say in a clipped tone, casting a quick glance at my buddy. “You promised you’d keep this confidential.”
“And I will.”
“I mean it, Charlie. I’m not dragging anyone else into this. It’s too dangerous.” I take a sharp left at the end of the bumpy road, driving more smoothly along the tree-lined lower part of the driveway now we’re on asphalt.
“I don’t agree, but I gave you my word. I won’t say anything to the others. The only people who will know are me and Demi.”
Charlie has changed so much. There was a time he was as secretive and stubborn as me. I’m still shocked he tells his wife everything.
I wonder what it’d be like to not have to hold anything back. To have someone accept you and love you completely knowing every dark broken part of you.
Talk about an unpredictable and explosive finale to this series!!!
I have to give Siobhan all the applause and kudos for writing not only an exceptional series, but one that has kept readers right at the edge of their seats through every single book.
Drew is the final book in this series, but should not be read as standalone. There are too many references to things in other books, and to fully grasp the enormity of everything that happens, previous books must be read to fully appreciate Drew.
I honestly don’t know what to say without spoiling every damn thing and I refuse to do that. But I will say that Siobhan executed this story (and the series ending) perfectly.
Like every other book in this series, there is no shortage of twists, turns, action, suspense and being put through a rollercoaster of emotions. And not one scene or shocking revelation was similar or remotely close to things in other books. I am one who can usually figure out the twists in books, but Siobhan definitely had my mouth gapping open in shock with this one.
Siobhan truly knows how to bring a series to a close, all the while still delivering one hell of powerful story surrounding Drew. It’s everything I love about Siobhan and her writing and nothing you will ever anticipate.

Hating the guy across the street should never lead to camping, bears, and kissing.
Love Hazard, an all-new steamy novella set in The Bet world from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken is now live!
When hate leads to love next door…
My dad is protective. Scratch that. He’s like the person who would grab a chair, place it on the lawn, and watch me walk across the street just to deliver an apple. So, when a bet between the rude, good-looking guy across the way becomes a full-on battle, it turns into absolute chaos.
He says my degree is useless and that I’m a rich, spoiled princess.
I say he’s an idiot who only knows how to fix motorcycles and is incapable of having a clean-shaven face.
He gives me a tiara. Thanks.
I buy him a razor. Perfect.
He follows that up with a book… Like. I. Can’t. Read.
I then give him soap—explanation easy there.
The following day, I receive a pink princess blanket that I may or may not have burned and tossed on his front doorstep, not realizing his dad is a cop. Now, both dads want the war to stop between us, forcing us to go on a camping trip to bury the hatchet—which I’m convinced he actually brought.
He’s a hazard to my health.
But it’s only a weekend. I honestly don’t know if we’ll make it out alive, but the dads are tired of it all. Regardless, I’ll come out, and prove I’m not the princess he thinks I am. Maybe he’ll end up lost in the woods—one can only hope.
One thing’s for sure. I will never, ever fall for him.
Ever.
A bet with the boy next door? Challenge accepted. I’ll be waiting for my trophy at the finish line.

Grin smug, I was maybe a foot from the Jeep when I heard a crack and looked down. A branch. A branch under my foot. Slowly, I looked over my right shoulder. Hell was waiting for me there. With a yell, I grabbed the driver’s side door and jerked it open, then started the Jeep and hit the accelerator with a bear close behind me. “Ahhhhh!” Hazel screamed as she got thrown across the back seat. “I’m not buckled in.” “But you are alive.” I took a turn, then another, then went up onto the highway and headed toward the small town of Canon Beach. “You’re alive.” I was damn near hyperventilating when she crawled into the front seat, buckled up, and turned to me, her brown eyes twinkling. “Naked and Afraid has nothing on us.” “Well,” I joked, “at least the afraid part. We didn’t have to get naked.” The air thickened. Shit. Again, I did it to myself. “I guess.” Her voice was quiet. “There are no rules in nature, anyway.” Vague. I wanted to ask her what she meant, and then I wanted to analyze and digest every part of the sentence. My grip tightened on the steering wheel. “We’ll just find a hotel.” Yes, because that would fix every ounce of sexual tension—forced proximity, a comfy bed, bathrobes, and adrenaline. Sure. Oh, the lies we tell ourselves.

Shattered Vows is the second book in the Midnight Manor series. It can be read as a standalone but you will want to read the first one after reading this, if you haven’t yet.
I love this fairy-tale retelling of Rapunzel. These two authors truly know how to take reimagine a fairytale in today’s modern world and make it very intruiging.
Shattered Vows is Kol and Rapsody’s story. They met many years ago but had an abrupt ending far too quickly. Now that Kol has found her once again, he doesn’t want to give her up as quickly.
I really enjoyed how this story unfolded and all the ins and outs that took place. It’s not as cut and dry as one thinks with a fairytale retelling; there are quite a few surprising twists that keep this entire story enthralling.
I am absolutely loving these stories and cannot wait for the next one!!

Biting banter is all they know. But messy feelings have a way of coming to the surface in this beachside romance from USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey.
Paige Young and Cole Clark are polar opposites. A world traveler since birth, Paige loves to lead activities for guests at a luxury island resort in Turks and Caicos. From bingo nights to cliffside hikes, Paige is up for anything. Cole, meanwhile, prefers his number-crunching desk job. He’s the assistant director at the resort—stiff and meticulous. He’s so by the book that he keeps the book. In his desk drawer.
They’re perfectly aligned in one way, though—their ability to drive each other crazy. Every day brings a fresh battle of wits. They’re rivals, archnemeses…and they’re definitely never going to talk about that one time they kissed. Ha ha. Nope!
But when Paige finds out that Cole has been ordered to fire her on the same day a hurricane threatens their little slice of paradise, it’s clear the game is over.
At odds, in peril, and forced to shelter in place together, these two enemies might finally have to confront their true feelings. (You know, the ones hidden under all those withering looks.)

The plot was cute but felt slightly disjointed in areas. I enjoyed it but this didn’t flow like other previous Grey books.
The characters were enjoyable but felt very cookie-cutter and similar Grey’s previous characters.
Their Last Resort was enjoyable. And while it wasn’t one of my favorites, I know others will possibly enjoy it more.
