Release Day Blitz…Crucible by B.B. Reid

Crucible by B.B. Reid is now live!

From bestselling author B.B. Reid comes a wicked retelling of your favorite fable. Have you heard the tale of Goldilocks? This one’s just right…

America’s sweetheart has been canceled.

From teen star to international phenom to the biggest celebrity in the world, Aurelia George has suddenly found herself on the other side of adoration. The public thinks they hate her when they never really knew her. The saddest tragedy of all is that she doesn’t know herself.

Done with the fame, glitz, and glam—the whole doe-eyed princess charade—Aurelia decides she’s taking back her life, even if it costs her everything.

But her uncle has other plans.

Shipped far away until the heat dies, Aurelia finds herself in the one place where her name means nothing. When a blizzard causes her plane to crash, she becomes stranded in the wilds of Northern Canada, a sole survivor with no one to turn to.

No one except them.

The misanthropic mountain men who’ve shut themselves away.

It’s their cabin Aurelia finds in the icy wilderness and their obsession she ignites when they discover her sleeping in one of their beds. Thorin, Khalil, and Ezekiel (and all of his personalities) have only longed for one thing in nine long years…a woman to warm their beds.

Surviving a plane crash, wolves, avalanches, frozen lakes, and a harsh winter with three feral men is nothing compared to Aurelia’s hardest trial of all—finding herself.

Crucible is a dark romance with multiple love interests, and even better, she doesn’t have to choose between them. It is also the first in a duet and ends on a cliffhanger. Please refer to the trigger warnings before reading.

Release date: 10.23.24

Tropes: Teacher x Student, he falls first, forced proximity, Doctor x Patient, Women in STEM, degradation kink, sci-fi vibes, morally grey characters, forbidden spice, stalker, dark cottage core, stalker, obsessed hero

Blurb:

Horror Romance meets science fiction in this dark and delicious gothic psychological thriller by NYT bestseller Karina Halle, perfect for fans of Gothikana, Ninth House, and Mexican Gothic.

Aspiring mycologist Sydney Denik is getting a second chance. When a dream opportunity presents itself with a prestigious foundation doing promising Alzheimer’s research, Sydney leaves the shambles of her old life to join a dozen other grad students at an isolated lodge hidden away in a remote, fog-shrouded inlet on Vancouver Island.

But the Madrona Foundation harbors more than brilliant minds. Everyone around her is hiding a terrible secret—including the resident psychologist she’s falling in love with. A student disappears, and no one but Sydney seems to care. Ghosts walk the halls. Snow falls in the middle of summer. Dead animals move like the living. The more Sydney uncovers about the foundation, the more she begins to question her own sanity. And if Sydney isn’t going mad, then the horrors in the surrounding forest are real, and the Madrona Foundation may be the biggest monster of all.

NOTE: This will be a live release on Amazon for paperback, ebook and hardcover on October 23rd 2024. The paperback and ebook cover is different from the case-laminate and dustjacket hardcovers. This is a standalone novel. Check content warnings inside the book or author’s IG closer to publication.

Content warnings: Grave Matter contains scenes of gore, body horror, animal body horror, off-page animal death, mentions of suicide, off-page suicide, graphic language and graphic scenes of a sexual nature, which include degradation and praise kink, breath play, bondage with ropes and belts, and various other mild-BDSM elements. Your mental health is important to me, and this book contains all sorts of fuckery, so please proceed with caution.

I am going to need a minute or two or a bazillion to gather my thoughts on this one.

Karina has outdone herself once again with an amazing story.

I don’t know where to start, what to say without babbling too much, or how to even put my rambling thoughts into words that can perfectly express this book.

If you love dark, gothic stories, add in some science fiction with romantic vibes thrown in – this book is for you. There are so many twists and turns that I did not see coming. I lost sleep because of this book.

Just go read this one!

I have never devoured a trilogy so quickly as I did this one.

As someone who has not read any of Alta’s stories (except ones she has co-written under the pen name Blake Hensley with Zoe Blake), I was extremely impressed with this trilogy and how each book is not only amazing on it’s own, but connects wonderfully to other stories.

House of Heathens are the stories of Apollo, Phoenix and Athena – the children of the Godwin’s.

I don’t even know where to start or what to say. These stories became more addictive as read each one. Apollo we meet in the first book. We get to know Phoenix and his mysterious ways and then Athena – she is so much more than people realize.

Each story was riddle with suspense, twists and turns and lots of spice. I love that each story held it’s own appeal and kept me captivated throughout each one. But I loved how I got the overall vibe as I was able to read these stories as a whole and not have to stop in between.

Alta has quickly become a favorite of mine with her detailed writing and her intriguing characters with entertaining story lines that keep readers captive the entire time.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Alone With You by Aly Martinez

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of From the Embers comes a new jaw-dropping standalone romance.

Pain trapped me in this house. Can love set me free?

Death had been chasing me my entire life. I survived the horrors of war, but it was the aftermath that truly destroyed me.

People called me a recluse, but the only time I didn’t feel like I was suffocating was inside that house.

For my daughter, I kept some semblance of normalcy by implementing a rigid routine. Once a week, I forced myself to walk to the diner at the end of the block—a ritual I despised but relied on as my last anchor to the real world.

Until the day a “Closed” sign on the door shattered my fragile existence. Worse, the new owner was the most haunting ghost from my past.

It had been years since I’d laid eyes on Gwendolyn Pierce. She hated me—and rightly so. But when a film crew arrived in town to dig into my past, she became my only ally.

With my secrets threatened, I leaned on Gwen, forging a connection neither of us could deny. But with a past as dark as ours, I feared it would eclipse any hope for a future.

I always said that when Death finally came for me, I would be ready, eager, and alone.
Always alone.

But for Gwen, maybe I could face the world again as long as it meant I could be alone—with her.

Release Day Blitz & Review…My Heart Still Beats by Helen Hardt

Every moment with him unshackles a little more of my fears, cracks another layer of ice.

My Heart Still Beats, an all-new must read, emotional, dark romance from New York Times bestselling author Helen Hardt is now available!

Some days I can almost see the person I used to be. See the version of myself that felt joy, even passion. But she’s gone…just out of reach.

Life moves on for everyone else, though, and as my best friend’s maid-of-honor, I have a bachelorette party to plan—in Jamaica, no less. And that means working side by side with the best man: Benjamin Black.

Billionaire. Workaholic. Ultimate bachelor. The perfect catch for any woman—unless she’s lost her sense of self.

Apparently my body hasn’t gotten the memo. Because from the second we meet, something begins stirring, warming my blood.

And when our hands touch, it’s a heady reminder that even if I feel numb, my heart still beats.

He’s nothing like I thought. Every moment with him unshackles a little more of my fears, cracks another layer of ice.

But I should be afraid—and so should he. Because the past never lets go so easily.

I will be quick with this one because well, I don’t have too much to say on this one.

My Heart Still Beats was right down the middle for me. With the trigger warning, I was expecting it be darker, and while for some this will be triggering, for me, it was just down the middle.

This book is perfect for those wanting to dip their toes into dark, emotional romance. There isn’t alot of depth to the darkness (sort of closed-door) that gives you and idea but never very detailed. Alot of this book is very surface level, never getting too descriptive. And for many, that’s what they want.

Helen definitely focused more on Tessa than Ben and I think that may hurt this story a bit. The plot was ok, but definitely had the potential to be more. The ending was probably the best part but still felt rushed.

Overall, it was right down the middle for me. But again, I think those looking to try out a darkish romance would enjoy this one.

The Elite Kings Club left a trail of fear behind every person who whispered their names throughout the centuries that they’d existed. They were the product of every nightmare you were told as a child, only now, they don’t go bump in the night. They race modified cars, throw parties to conceal their morbid games, and leave behind the kind of chaos that can never be tamed.

They were from an ancient bloodline of the three Founding Fathers, and it was almost time for them to plunge deeper into the depths of hell. Now that they were all on their motherland, and even closer to an island with history as dark as it was ruthless, no one had a say in the carnage of what was to come. And in this case, with War and Halen. Until now, they were nothing but exactly as they appeared on the outside.

He was a brother’s best friend, and a boy Halen had never not known.

She was the daughter of one of the most feared families known to man, and the only girl who ever kindled his rage. They’d push and pull until it tore them apart…if only to feel the shell of their bodies close.

Halen knew crossing that line with him was dangerous ground, yet she yielded her weapon and did it anyway. But history was being challenged, and The Kings were about to learn that not all enemies are discovered on a battlefield.

Some are the ghosts of what was left behind.

About the Author:

Amo Jones is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, totally winging this author thing (she’s probably doing it all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic (Slytherin). She’s a profound work-a-holic, but when she’s not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & Husband at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand.

New Zealand is not a state of Australia and rugby is the best sport ever played.

My future is gone, completely destroyed.

Every dream and every hope I had for humanity is now sitting firmly in my rearview mirror.

Life is dark.

Grim.

And after everyone I cared for was ripped away from me, all I see, all I feel, is vengeance.

The scars I wear are invisible but no less profound and can only be healed through bloodshed.

And I will shed blood.

I will hunt.

I will catch.

I will avenge my broken soul and, this time, I won’t do it alone.

With no secrets to hold me back, I welcome the day I can drop my armor and expose my heart to the one man who can handle my world.

The one man who sees no damsel, only demon.

The one who sees me for who I truly am.

I am Jordyn O’Neill and I do not come in peace.

HOT DAMN!!! These two ladies can write freaking phenomenal dark stories with amazing characters.

You MUST read One Kill before reading One Love – no ifs, ands or buts on this one.

We were left one hell of a cliffhanger in One Kill and I honestly wasn’t sure if these two ladies could give J the ending she so rightly deservers. Boy, was I completely wrong.

I won’t give any of the story details away but if you are looking to reading this book, then you know what happened at the end of One Kill and well, shit just keeps hitting the fan.

There is zero shortage of action and suspense in this book. There is also of spice (HOLY HOT!!!) and I thoroughly enjoy how everything plays out – EVERYTHING. I have zero complaints about this duet.

I love that these two ladies keep J real and authentic and never change her, even when things get complicated and dicey for her.

The amount of layers and the depth to these characters is perfection. These two ladies truly know how write a captivating story with characters you can’t ever forget.

I cannot recommend this series enough.

Abbie Roads has always been able to pull me in immediately with her stories. Defying Evil is no different. However, it did not hold my attention like her other books.

Defying Evil is a thriller book with a bit of trauma bonding added in. The “romance” part of this book is what moves at fast pace, which makes the overall book move at fast pace. I felt like the thriller parts were too short and the development of Mercy was a bit lacking.

I love Abbie’s writing style and it’s why I continued on with this story, but this book had a lot of potential to be so much better.

I did enjoy Cain’s backstory and how he’s been able to overcome his horrendous past and move forward. I loved the otherworldly aspect of both Cain and Mercy’s abilities and how Abbie weaved them together into the story.

Overall, it was just an ok read for me. I know Abbie has the ability to dig deeper so this would be a great book for new readers to her work.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Love Sick by Monica James

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.
