Release Day Blitz…Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling

They would pay for what was done to me, but none more than good girl, Luna Pallas.

Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling  is now live! 

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes a sapphic, dark academia, Medusa retelling about a woman who was wronged by her idols and refused to pay the price without getting revenge…

I was born a woman.

Raised by women.

In love with women.

Until I enrolled at Acheron University, I’d never known much of men. I certainly didn’t know enough to fear them.

Then one stormy autumnal night, Professor Morgan tried to destroy me.

And when we were discovered by the university President, it was me who was punished for the unwanted seduction.

But they left me with two valuable lessons.

I would never let another woman be hurt by men again if I could help it.

And when someone hurts you, betrays you, and tries to rip out your soul, there is only one remedy for the pain.

Revenge.

And mine takes the form of the President’s very beautiful, very virginal, very straight daughter, Luna Pallas.

Before the end of term, I’ll destroy her innocence just as her mother and Professor Morgan destroyed mine.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Dreadful by Greer Rivers

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.

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!!!!!
