Spice Radar: 🌶🌶/5
Type: Novel
Genre: Dark Dystopia 
Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5


Wretched was one of those books I stumbled on while cruising through Goodreads. I read a few of the reviews and thought 'why not see what this is all about?' A book not meant for the faint of heart. Trigger warnings included incest, child abuse, substance abuse, gore, profanity, and sexual scenes. See? Not for the faint of heart. Let's get the review on the road. 


Wretched Review 


Two bestselling authors, Yolanda Olson and Emery Leeann, came together to create a powerful novel, Wretched. Abused at a young age by their mother, Tieran and Hensley set out on a mission of revenge. Wretched took me through the hardship the twins faced as they struggled with their past and present. They were victims, who channeled their hatred to the outside world.

I was a bit lost at the opening chapters but picked up on things as the story progressed. The authors showcased why the twins became the people I read about in the book. It was an amazing outline of how some victims struggled to get past their past. Even when they believed they had. 

The smut scenes were a good addition but not to my liking. I felt like it would have been better. The little action scenes bent towards unrealistic for me. If it leaned more to being realistic, it would have been a plus. It could have even elevated the story a little. The ending, oh gosh, the ending. I was definitely not a big fan. 

Still, Wretch was a short read with major themes that touched my emotions. I rated it three out of five stars. I recommend it to readers who are chained down by their abusive past. We can't be a better version of ourselves unless we first decide to let go and move forward.

Sucked Review

  Book Source: Kindle Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Erotica Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶/5 Sucked by AR Taboo Review ‘She can’t keep it out of her mouth’.  I went into this one with an entire baggage of curiosity. I noticed a friend read and gave a review. Two sentences got me wanting to find out what it meant. There was nothing there for the book bio/synopsis which enhanced my urge to know what the hype was about. Knowing me, I got a little too curious, and rushed to read it. I gobbled up this thing without batting an eye. No one would think I was reading anything smut worthy much less as taboo as this. Like what the heck?  I’ve become so desensitized to these things that nothing affects me these days. No triggers. Not even this Novella. At this point, I could wave down the train to hell and buckle myself in. This was just…I’m lost for words.  Father reunited with daughter after years of not seeing each other. That was just ...

The First and the Last Review

  Book Source: Kindle Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶/5 Type: Series Genre: MM Romance  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 I was in desperate need of a quick read. This book came to my rescue along with Str8te Guys by Evangeline Anderson. Loved that erotica by the way. Also a MM Romance. I was more than happy I stumbled on these two books. Read them in one night. Yeah, one night. Who needs sleep when we have a book, right? The First and the Last Review  The first and the Last was a MM Romance by Jessi H Reign. A friends-to-lovers omegaverse. The paranormal romance began with the growth of Sully and Jules from their high school years until they became shifters. The two saw each other as best friends until a Storm flew through their pack. Okay, not an actual storm but a woman called Storm. A mind-blowing threesome and the males realized they liked the experience of each naked a little too much.  I hoped that wasn't a spoiler. But, I th...

Edin (Monstrous, #2) Review

  Book Source: Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Series Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶/5 Edin (Monstrous, #2) by Lily Mayne Review I was in love with Edin from book one. Who wouldn’t? He was the monster that made the best of men doubt their bodies. The same one with amazing abs and a rocking body that attracted eyes. Yes, the monster with child-like personality. A hyper-active one. The perfect sweetheart. When I noticed he had a book for himself, I was thrilled. I dove into it without a second thought.  Hunter, another military guy, was the complete opposite of Edin. A hot head to Edin's calm and happy-go-lucky attitude. A seasoned veteran stationed out in the wastelands. On Hunter's way to report to his base, he and his best friend slash partner were ambushed by Kolebs. Hunter’s friend, Charlie, was taken by the monsters during the encounter. Edin happened to be passing by and helped Hunter from maybe dying. The duo then had to...
