Revenge. It’s all I've lived for. Revenge against those who stacked the cards against me from the start. But I’m changing the deck now. I’m getting even. Born to a vampire, I wasn’t supposed to survive—but I did.


My name is Cassidy. Cassidy Edwards. And I’m the first of my kind[more...]



Personal Review: I couldn’t put this book down when I first read it.

"Monster," is an action packed and magical romance. There is an instant chemistry between Cassidy and her boss, although much of it begins with some hostility. As the story progresses, the two begin to slowly understand each other, finding that they have more in common than they might think. Mostly the fact that they are both keeping some impressive secrets. This book is definitely worth the read. Its engaging and everything hate to love romances tend to have. Yes, you know what I’m talking about. That slow burn. The best thing about the book is that it is also a 6 book, completed series. Check out Monster, for a riveting story!!

I never wanted to save the world... or these damned werewolves.


Life was pretty sweet until my hellhound bit one of them. Then I accidentally killed him—the werewolf, not my hellhound. Now I need to help the local alpha track down and destroy a rogue angel or I’ll lose everything that's important to me, like my Corvette, and my awesome house with a pool.


I might wind up dead[more...]


Personal Review: "A demon bound," is one of the most enjoyable books I've read in a while. Our leading lady in this one is a mischievous imp, that's more trouble than she's worth to the angels trying to keep order.

Most of the trouble this little Demon finds herself in, is mostly due to her urge for mischief and chaos. Insert a rouge angel, and this demon has found herself in more trouble she could ever have bargained for. Although fun and exciting for her, she now needs help. This help just so happens to come in the form of an extremely powerful angel, who is strict and orderly and defiantly not up for some hot forbidden sex....or is he? We all know angels and demons DO NOT MIX. This makes for a funny story and a very interesting romance. The imp finds herself at the beck and call of said angel, and it gets hot and…weird. This is as slow-burning and as angst filling as they come. Follow this odd enemies to lovers story. It is defiantly a ride to remember, filled with horny demons, and celibate angels.

As with most beginnings, it started with death.


When I had nothing left to lose, I traveled to the hut in the woods; the one no one dared approach. The witch who lived there recognized the darkness in my soul and took me under her wing—to witness her reign of terror firsthand and eventually, to inherit her legacy as my own.


Now I’m the monster they fear; the one humans avoid at all costs. In this welcome isolation, I've attempted to forget my past and the future that was taken from me.


Until three men appear, somehow able to break through my protective wards and see me in my true form. While resistant to their intrusion, I recognize they may be the ones I’ve been waiting for—the ones I need to ascend to my full power[more..]



Personal Review: This is a paranormal romance that will leave you with chills down your spine, both the good and the bad kind.

This one is a retelling of baba yaga’s origin story. This first book introduces the new baba yaga and she wants nothing to do with humanity. She actually goes as far as to bury hers.

There is instant connection, and all of them dislike it. The three, too handsome men, see beneath the guise of the Yaga. Two of the three men practically fall at her feet despite the suspicion they feel towards the strange, yet charming woman in the woods. Unfortunately, the last of the three men, isn’t as blinded by her beauty. He actually immediately sees her as the enemy, disliking the unknown he senses all over the beautiful woman. The two butt heads in vicious ways. Threats of murder are thrown around, and both the hidden, beautiful yaga, and the man meant for her, find themselves denying their destiny. It makes for a interesting enemies to lovers romance. For one, there are three men involved. This is a spicy hot reverse-harem romance, that will have your toes curling beneath the covers. Warning there is gore and some good ole MM romance. There are also possible triggers, For those willing to read it, I can guarantee a very interesting story of this retelling of BaBa Yaga.

This was a read I almost dropped. It's was so slow in the beginning that I considered removing it from the list entirely. The character was also boring, and hard to relate to. It is a true joy that I didn't give up on the story. I later realized I couldn't enjoy the character, due to the fact that she was actually boring, because she hadn't gone through anything in her life, other than one tragedy. She lacked experience, and as she gained it through the story, she blossoms into a character that turned out to be incredible. Add a hot, slick mouthed, kitsune, whose goal is to remember his past and the story goes into a whole other direction, a steamy one. You defiantly won't regret this one.

You'd think that basically being in charge of love would be an epic job, right? Wrong. Sure, I can blow some Lust into people's faces and watch the show, but I can't actually participate. It gets old, trust me. Same goes for love. I can pass it out like sugar-free lollipops at a dentist's office, but I can't get any love for myself. It totally sucks.


I used to consider myself a hopeless romantic, so why wouldn't I choose to become a cupid? Sounds like a good idea, right? Wrong again. They don't call us stupid cupids for nothing. I'm stuck in this never-ending afterlife where I'm invisible, lonely, and bitter as hell. And yeah, I'm probably responsible for some terrible matchmaking out there. Sorry, not sorry.


All my bad cupid'ing might be why I was exiled from the human realm. You can only do so much before the cupid bosses get all huffy. Unfortunately, my bitterness carried over into the new realm, and then I attacked a fae prince with Love Arrows. Accidentally. Okay, not accidentally. But hey, he deserved it. What I didn't expect was for him to retaliate and hit my ass with some crazy magic mojo strong enough to push me into the physical realm. Whoa[more...]



Personal Review: This cupid is bored. Hidden in the veil between realms, shooting arrows, and spreading lust, isn't as fun as she thought it would be. You can't join in on the hot action ever, and this cupid has been without some good lovin for too long, all her existence really, at least from what she can remember.

Transferred to the fae realm, with the firm warning that she'll go poof if she were to fail on her task of spreading love, she goes in ready and eager for action. Stumbling across a prince and a princess she is sure could be great together, makes the cupid toes curl in anticipation. unfortunately the little cupid got more than she bargained for, but on the plus side, she is now outside of the veil and can be seen by everyone. On the down side, she's also wanted for murder. Crash landing on an island that's just a bit familiar, due to the fact that it hosts the hotties that she witnessed, when she first came to the realm, and this cupid is in for a ride. This ride is not exactly a nice one though. The wind through her hair is laced with shit, and her rope burns are chafing. This is a comical read with an oddball of a female lead. When she meets her love interests, they aren't as friendly as she had hoped they would be. Though she still encourages them to supply her with multiple orgasms. Of course she doesn't usually mean it...well not all the time.
