Plot Summary : Drew wants someone who simply feeds the monster in him. He is tired of everyone else and has almost given up hope when he stumbles upon his wallflower in the library. She is everything he wants and is to break. And the best part is that she has no idea. She doesn't know what is going to happen. She doesn't know how he is going to hunt her.
Overall Opinion : The best part about this author is that she never misses the mark for me. There are a couple of genres that I love and she always somehow catches them all and writes them up for me. This one is similar and that is why I love it so much. Drew and Maybell have the best tale and I don't know why I thought this one was a standalone but that ending shocked me a lot. I am not waiting very eagerly for more about them in the next book!
Definitely recommending this one to all the dark romance loving people out there!
Overall Opinion : Pepper is back!! I have been waiting so badly for Pepper and her brand of darkness because even after reading so many books , I have never found another author who mixes darkness and angst like her. She writes the most twisted characters but somehow always manages to redeem them in my eyes with the way they act and how she expresses their thoughts.
The same goes to Henri , who is Q’s half brother. He is twisted and broken like how everyone is in this dark world of theirs but now his path is to be even more tough. He has a toy of his own , his very own sweet diamond. She is everything that he wants but is supposed to break. How will this unfold?
I am always scared of picking up incomplete series by pepper because as much as I yearn for her brand of angst , her cliffhangers scare me more lmao. The same goes for this one , I knew I was going to be broken by the end but I do not regret it!! The angst was worth it and I know that pepper will soon give us the other books too , it's just that I am so hooked into the story z it's tough to wait ...more
Overall Opinion : Pam and her books have always been unique to me. She is one of those rare authors whose whole backlog I have read and I don't regret it at all. In Fact I didn't find a single bad book and loved them all so much!! And now that she is exploring Reverse harem more with a touch of suspense?! It's going to be so good!
Frankie has a tale that will completely mess up your mind as Pam does not hold back in this one. It's full of triggers and I won't say it is gentle. As this is the first book of the series , there is a lot of suspense with very character growth as they are just starting to know each other. Pam held my attention from the first page and I finished this one in a single go!
The ending threw me off and now I am just counting days until I get the next one ...more
Triggers Involved : Very dark , Dub con , Breeding , Manipulation
Plot Summary : Verity's whole life changed when she got the invitation to the Princes ball. Why would they want her? It could not be anything good. Everyone has heard tales about what they do to their women. How they are nothing but a breeding machine and she refuses to be that..until she has no choice.
Whitaker , Lex and Pace are her nightmares. Each one of them is as frightening as the last and she will not survive this. They are her enemies, then why is she attuned to their sickness?
Overall Opinion : The princes are here!! I have been waiting not so patiently for their story to start because that hype of breeding kink written by my two favorite authors is something I can't miss. Angel and Samantha have done is amazing job of giving us this world of Royals that I am hooked into. Each one of them is better than the last and I can't have enough.
Finally we are in the Prince Era and their tales are amazing and much more twisted than you would expect. The plot is good and like all the books of this series , there are tons of triggers that need to be kept in mind before picking this one up.
Definitely recommending this one to all the dark romance loving people out there who are into twisted Reverse Harem romances as well.
Triggers Involved : Betrayal , Second chance , Taboo , Dub Con
Plot Summary : The only aim Willow ever had was to take revenge for her family. She was their hidden weapon and her life has been based on that fact alone. That is until she meets her aloof and dangerous Headmaster. Alaric. A man that is broody and dangerous should not be there. There is just something about him that alerts her but she can't put her finger on it. That is until he notices. Now nothing will be the same.
Because this whole time Willow thought she was one step ahead. That she was playing games with the school and was on the right path. If only she knew that she was just a pawn in a much more sinister game and that her headmaster, the man she feared and wanted in equal measure , will not let her go until he has everything.
Overall Opinion : Omg! I was freaking out the moment I saw the blurb for this book. Like enemies to lovers , fantasy, student teacher , very dark and so much more?! It's like Adelaide created my dream book lmao.
This one is the first book of the upcoming series and I can't scream at you guys to read it. Like the author herself said that the hero of this book is very less of a hero and more of a villain and that is absolutely true about Alaric. That man was ughhh ...more
Triggers Involved : Dark Bully , Past Trauma , Unapologetic hero
Plot Summary : Steele and Aspen had one forbidden night in which they removed their masks and showed each other their darkest desires. They thought they would never meet again so there was no harm. That is until fate played with them. Now with Aspen being his stepsister and the sole reason for his ruin, Steele wouldn't hesitate to cross any lengths to make her pay.
She was his to ruin and by the time she was done , she would be broken beyond repair.
Overall Opinion : I absolutely loved this one! It is a dark romance standalone with an unapologetic hero. Steele crossed a lot of lines to make Aspen pay and therefore this book has a lot of triggers. It's a standalone HEA but the path is definitely not easy.
Steele and Aspen have a story that will hook you right from the start and not let you go till the very end. I was hooked as well although there was always something disconnected between the characters. I wanted them to have more depth maybe? More angst?! But yeah , sometimes I just could not feel that romance between them. On an Overall basis , as I am a hardcore fan of high school bully romances , this one was a good read.

Overall Opinion : Omg. It's been so long since a reverse harem romance has hooked me in this bad. If you want a book with 3 super villains and a girl who totally kicks their ass for trying to bully her , THIS IS YOUR SERIES. When I say i can't get enough of revenge taking Heroines ...more

Overall Opinion : Celia Aaron is one of those authors whom I read years ago, then kind of lost touch with. But I still remember the way they drove me crazy with their books. I ran to sign up for this book the moment I saw it because even though it had been years since I read Celia , I knew she would not disappoint me!!!
[image] From this day forward, you are mine to do with as I please.”
Overall Opinion : Okkkkk. So I tried for this one lmao but it was not for me. I am someone who likes a story with their steamy scenes but this book was lacking in that aspect. It has some amazing steamy scenes but there was just no backbone. I wanted more emotions? More angst? Idk. I guess I could not connect to the characters because they never talked hahahaha.
Shantel is a favorite author of mine and I always read her book so it breaks my heart to say but she has kind of lost her touch. Her last books have been like this too , with all steam and no plot and same was with this book. I hope she gets her dynamic back. I am not saying that this is a bad book or anything but I think I expected more . The hero was very hollow , he knew what the heroine had been through but still he was hell bent on screwing with her mind and sometimes I like that but in this case he had no regrets whatsoever. I don't think he even realized how much he hurted her sometimes. He was so busy in his possessive personality behavior that he never saw her love. It was very hollow. Like I said , I wanted more emotional connection.
Rest I would leave it to you but The SINNER was not an enjoyable read for me and I had to drag myself to somehow finish it.
Triggers Involved : kidnapping , past trauma , *to be updated after release
Plot Summary : Vittoria never knew that the same men whom she had been falling for , would be the reason for her demise. She should have known though, right? They neevr told her anything different , she was the one who had high hopes from them and they did exactly what they told her they would. They were her captors, why would they care for her?
Amadeo and Bastian feel like everything has gone out of hand. They have a rat in their family and not to mention their numerous enemies who have been attacking them from outside. And now their beautiful prisoner. The little girl of the man who single handedly ruined their whole family. And now it is upto them to destroy her and whatever is left of legacy to spit on the old man who was now dead but would always know the fire of their wrath. What they did not expect was to have feelings for Vittoria . Was it too late for them? Too late to change the dynamic from captors to lovers? Or had Vittoria already made up her mind to leave them both.
Overall Opinion : Vittoria and The brothers are here! I have been positively losing my mind ever since that cliffhanger of book 1 lmao. Thank God that Natasha is a fast writer or I would have lost my wits to know what happened ...more
Triggers Involved : * will be updated after release
Overall Opinion : The last book of the Dukes trilogy is here!! I have been hooked into this series ever since I met the lord's and then the authors are giving us series for all the crazy anti heroes?! My heart went crazy lol. I already have my favorite picked up in the princes and don't even get me started on the barons lmao. They are gods hahahahah . Can't wait for their books!
Livvy is totally my favorite heroine of all time. She is sassy but the strength the girl has , it's nothing like i have ever seen before. The best ❤️ Sy , Remi and Nick compliment her in the best way. They still have a ton of issues to work out because the world never gives them a chance to do that.things are very complicated between them and Lavinia is not sure that she can once again trust the same men who broke her heart and her soul so thoroughly a while ago. Who never cared about her and only wanted her for their pleasure, she can't fall for them. But what happens when they all see a different side to their story. A side where they are all together and happy? Or is it too far-fetched for these people right now? It all depends on how much they are willing to sacrifice to get their happily ever after.
The only thing was that I somehow found this book a bit less interesting than the ones before it. There were parts where I had to drag myself to finish it but I did it lol because the storyline is good and it keeps you hooked to know what is going to happen next!
Definitely recommending this one to all the dark romance loving people out there. If you are into tropes like Reverse Harem , Boss girl , anti heroes , TONS OF TRIGGERS BUT MAJOR DARK ROMANCE , then go for this one! But as the authors have said multiple times and I am saying it too , these series are not just light dark romance , they are truly messed up in more than one way and I hope you all are ready for it!

[image] But you had the audacity to get on my nerves , so now I’m tempted to just… steal your last breath.”
Plot Summary : Cecily has everything a girl could ever want. She has the best parents , the dream life and the best group of friends she ever wanted. Or so everyone thinks. They don't know her pain, They don’t know her trauma, and what she deals with on a regular basis. SHe is barely staying afloat when another disaster hits her life. A disaster that goes by the name of Jeremy Volkov. The mafia prince , the God. And possibly the worst boy she could ever have in her life. Because bad things happen when Jeremy Volkov notices you. Things she was never ready for.
Jeremy has the picture perfect life but no one knows about the past he suffered. How the pain still rings through his head at night. Until one day he captures himself a little prey. The girl whom he had termed as “bland” was not that bland after all. Cecily knight. His little sister’s friend. He has never wanted anything for himself but he might just steam Cecily from her shining prince. The only difference is that he is ot stealing her to make her happy. He is going to ruin her and she is going to wish that she never crossed his way.
[image] That dull , maybe not so dull, existence has gotten herself the worst type of attention. Mine.”
Overall Opinion : OMG!! Jeremy Volkov is here for you all! I read this months ago as my Beat Feedback and have been keeping these words inside of myself Lmao and IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY. NOT EASY AT ALL.
Jeremy and Cecily are possibly the hottest couple of this series. Those who have read the previous books of this series already have an idea about the direction this book is going to take on the basis of kink lmao :D but if not then let me tell you that this one has triggers if you are not into dark romance and a hero who is unapologetic when he goes after his girl. And my sweet Cecily has my heart! She is the most mature one in her group of friends and the way she handles things and how much she is like Kim , just brought tears to my heart. Not to mention the cameos of the parents are always THE BEST part of this series. I am loving this second generation series but tbh the part where I get the most crazy is when an older character appears hahahahaha . It’s just so nostalgic!!
We also get some updates about other upcoming couples ...more

Overall Opinion : Okk.. so that was mind-blowing! I seriously never expected that plot twist! I mean things might go in that direction , but the way it is executed? amazing!
Hats off to these authors , this is totally my new addiction and after that huge cliffhanger , I want the next book of this series so bad asap. This one is an age gap dark romance with a lot of triggers a hero who is more of a villain however I think that the worst about him is yet to come lmao.
Define recommending this one to all the dark romance loving people out there!
Triggers Involved : Bully , Past Trauma , Betrayal
Plot Summary : Lana had been the one girl Mason always loved. She was THE ONE. That is until she betrayed him. She never knew how much he gave up for her. How much he endured for her so that she would be sheltered from pain . But now , nothing mattered. Nothing but the ever consuming hate he had for her. He lived to see her cry. Every day , every moment, he ruined her and that was the highlight of his life. And now it was turn of the final game. Harper would never know what hit her. It was Mason's turn to choose his woman and by the time he was done with Harper , there would be nothing left of her soul.
Harper never had an easy life but the best thing she ever had was the boy who loved her. Her Mason. But then the monster took him too and she had to protect him , so that is what she did. She set herself on fire to save Mason but it didn't matter. Because the boy who once loved her? Now hates her with an unmatched intensity. He lives to see her cry. He is the one terror she can't escape. No matter how much she runs , he always finds her and now he plans to trap her permanently. Make her his forever. Only she knows that it is not from some mismatched perception of love. They don't have love. All they have is hate and pain and Mason was back to break all those small parts of her that were yet to be tarnished by his hate.
Overall Opinion : OMG. I swear I have been waiting for Mason's book ever since the first book of this series. The way he tormented Harper just broke my heart but then those glimpses where it was said about how much he once loved her , made me so curious! Like what had happened to make him hate her like this? And now I finally had all those answers and they are amazing!
Harper and Mason's book is definitely one of my favorites of this series. Their friendship and how they always somehow love each other even after so much hate gave me so much hope about them.
We get to know all about their past and also glimpses of what is yet to come. I loved the progress of the characters and meeting my favorite characters again was the best thing! Missed Micha and Logan lmao . Definitely recommending this one to the dark romance loving people . This has a dark history of bullying between the main protagonists and other triggers too so please keep that in mind.
Triggers Involved : non con , past torture , revenge and much more
Plot Summary : Lavinia had not one but 3 monsters in her life. And the biggest one of them might be Nick. The man who claimed to lover but then hurt her, broke her and then eventually betrayed her in the worst way. His love was toxic. To be loved by him was a punishment for anyone and Lavinia was done. She might hate them all but at least Remy and Sy saved her when she did not expect anyone to come for her. When Nick betrayed her.
And now he would pay. She would make him feel all the pain and all the hate he deserves and she would get her revenge on him. Maybe then people will remember again what she is and not cross her again.
Overall Opinion : Omg. That cliffhanger last time killed me. Like the third for revenge, the upcoming payback??!! I wanted to read the next book so freaking bad. And I hated Nick. Like I loathed him. He is the king of toxic lovers, hell he gives the term 'toxic love' a new definition. And then when Lavinia gave him a medicine of his own treatment??! Yeah that was so satisfactory ...more
Plot Summary : Aubrey is doing what she can to survive, that is until an incident at job puts her on the radar of the college queen. The girl who was never noticed by anyone is now the target of her. When their tricks nearly get her killed , she gets to meet her angel. Or so she thinks. Because the person she thinks is the angel might be worse than the actual devil.
Overall Opinion : Okkkkk… It is downright painful to write this review because I am very very confused about this book. I am warning you beforehand that the warning the author gives about the hero is 110% true. HE IS FREAKING CRAZY. Like no, he does not hit her or something and is not even a bully but OMG HE IS MANIPULATIVE. I will explain below...more
Triggers Involved : non con , dub con , kidnapping , betrayal
Plot Summary : Meraki and Nico have always been best friends but everyone knew that they were destined to be together. And they once did, that is until everything was brought to light and it changed their paths. Both of them now separated and had to live their own lives.
But Nico is back. And with him came the bag of secrets everyone tried to hide. All the demons, meraki hid, the things she suffered, she will have to bare it all to him because Niko always knew her. Always knew that she was his and this time he was here to remind her again. But Meraki knew that he was hiding things himself. Big things. Things that could change everything between them.
Overall Opinion : Meraki and Nico pulled me in right from the start!! Almost the initial 50% of this book seemed very very similar to 'sicko' by this author so I was a tad bit bored but then things picked up and I was again hooked in. The storyline was good and don't even get me started on that ending ...more
Plot Summary : Nicole gave up her life years ago when the one person who was her family went to jail. Now after years of running away, she is there in a new city, ready to finally start a job. Things are finally looking good for her only for her to find that her new boss is none other than the one person because of whom she went away in the first place. The only boy she has ever wanted. The boy she hurt. And now the man who will stop at nothing to make her pay and ruin her.
Daniel thought he laid his ghosts to rest years ago until one of them comes back to smack him right where it hurts. Nicole. His reason for his torment. The reason he hates blondes. She is the one person he could run away from no matter how hard he tried. She was the one who broke him then and now she will feel his wrath. His hate for her. He will make her suffer, swash her like the bug she is and maybe then he can finally have some peace. Only he didn't expect to still love her. Still see her like no one else ever did. And that might be the one thing that will ruin them both in the end. Because the whole reason he hated her in the first place was not it seemed and this time, it would be him who will be asking for forgiveness.
Overall Opinion : Ever since I got a whiff of Nicole and Daniel in CRUEL KINGS, I have been wanting this book! Nicole was a real bitch back then, so I knew when they both had matured, some killer angst might be there. Also, this is me shouting to you all here, I know you don't like Nicole. I know what she did in cruel kings was very horrible but just trust me when I say that things are not like they seem. How she was portrayed in Cruel kings was intentionally done but this time, we see what has actually happened. I hope you guys see the truth from the pov of the actual characters with whom it happened rather than condemning them for what you heard from Astrid.
The angst in this book is amazing! Daniel is one the cruelest bosses of all time and damn he is crazy. I loved every second of his possessiveness so much. The way he loved and hated Nicole could be seen through his words and I loved finally knowing their truth. We see many cameos of other characters in this book as well and you guys are in for some surprises!
Now the wait begins for Aspen and King! I have been waiting for these two since they were mentioned in book one but omg , after this book I am so much more crazy for them. I hope we get their book real soon because it's totally going to be the hottest one in this series.
To all the people rating the book 1 star before even reading it since it has not been released, let me assure you that EVERY, AND I DO MEAN EVERY one of the past scenes that we did not like by Nicole is explained in this book. Things were different than what we thought. Even I was shocked. The way the scenes are written in cruel kings was from astrid's POV and for her Nicole was the villain , which she was, I won't deny that but that somewhat affected the way she depicted Nicole. What I am saying is that in this book the characters are mature and every thing is explained. I am repeating it again that all the scenes happened very very differently and YOU GUYS THINK THAT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT YOU DO NOT. Just read the damn book and see what ACTUALLY happened in the past with Nicole and Daniel and then edit your review. Nicole is a Survivor. What she sent through will shock you like it did to me. It will break your heart. I know you all hate her because of what she did and so did I but now I don't. I don't really care if you post a bad review but please read the book ❤ After that your opinions will be your own no matter if they are positive or negative.
I have never liked bullying but this is what THIS IS. You guys are rating a book that has not even been released yet. You are dictating what the author should write and what she should not which is wrong. If you don't like her work then look the other way, she is not forcing you to read it but THIS IS WRONG. I can't believe people are actually doing this, like you guys doing this are the lowest of the low. Just read the book before rating it.
From what I have seen in this book world is that people are very eager to read A hero's redemption book but if that is the case for the heroine, they won't accept it. I will admit that what Nicole did was bad but I have read the ARC and trust me when I say that things happened very differently than what they are portrayed in CRUEL KING. Even that drug scene and so much more. Everything was different. Please give both Nicole and Daniel a single chance and then decide how the book is. I am not at all telling you to give the book a good rating if you don't like it, just read it first❤ That's all from my side.
