The Rycke (Monstrous, #3) by Lily Mayne Review

The third installment in the Monstrous series, The Rycke, was a refreshing break from the military men and monster combo. Ghost, a raider, from the same camp that Cat---yes, that mysterious man in the fight club (I don’t remember what that place is called) from book two---was sent out to scavenge for anything that might indicate where said Cat was. In the midst of the ruined military base’s rubble---the same Nebraska base from Wyn's days (Book one) ---Ghost’s best pal, Rig, stumbled on a wounded monster. I was not-so-surprised it was a Rycke. Yeah, it was the book's name, so I figured it was that monster.

Anyways, the men helped the monster and brought him back to their camp to recover. The gentle, terrified monster with PTSD. Like Jesus, I never thought monsters could have PTSD, but anything was possible in this lovely series. He and Danny should start a support group. Moth, the Aytorin, and his two tree-eating friends would undoubtedly join. Not to mention, Cat. God knows why he didn't want to escape with the others and I'm beyond curious at this point. I'm sizzling to find out, but I'm having a little self-control ---for once--- and reading the books in order. Yeah, the support group crap was a sick joke, but I couldn’t stop myself from making it. God, I would join too. I feel like I need help.

Put all fun and jokes aside, Aury was the best. A dangerous beast trapped in the mind of a sweetheart. Gosh, why can’t I have a monster who would want to read to me at night? I would love that. Why not me? The real world is so unfair. I loved the reverse situation with Ghost and Aury. A bit different from a monster tending to a human but in Ghost and Aury’s case, it was the human taking care of the monster and then vice versa. Loved the protectiveness the two had to go on. Loved it even more when it wasn’t one-sided.

I totally dug Rig for sneaking that book out of the room. I would do the same, so he immediately went on my best book friend list. I can’t wait to get into his story. Therefore, I’m skipping over Wyn’s book and diving into ‘The Gloam’. I kind of wanted a dual point of view to get a whiff of what was going on in the monster’s heads throughout the story. Maybe it would have given me PTSD, but I would have loved it. Still, craving it. Maybe Lily will surprise me.

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 Dark One (Vicious Lost Boys, #2) Review

Book Source: Kindle Store Cross-Post Review: Chantie's Goodreads Review Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 Type of Novel: Series Genre: Dark Romance Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Book two of the Vicious Lost Boys series and I am here for it. The cliffhanger in book one got me intrigued. I jumped into book two to see what happened. Triggers includes Sex scenes, profanity, violence. I advise reading Nikki's content warning before jumping into this one. The Dark One (Vicious Lost Boys, #2) After The Never King came The Dark One in the Vicious Lost Boys series. Nikki St. Crowe once again gave us what we needed in this Peter Pan retelling. I figured the title referred to Vane, the character. However, it was still centered around The Lost Boys of Neverland. A continuation of the last scene in the first book, The Never King. I liked the way Nikki wrote the novel. It made it seem as if I was watching a bad ass show on tv. Sex included. The story got more in debt of the lives of the pe...

Coming Up for Air Review

Book Source: Kindle Cross-Post Review: Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Novel Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶/5 Coming Up for Air by Amanda Meuwissen Review I stumbled on this story and noticed the merman on the book cover. I didn't even think much into it---not even to read the synopsis---why I took such a chance was beyond me---and got the book. My childhood obsession with merfolks--not Ariel, I hated her---followed me into adulthood. Therefore, anything merfolk and I'm going to read it. This book fell into that category. And, I was glad I decided to read this book. It all began when Leigh was dumped into the river by the mobster brothers, whom he stole from to appease the mafia he worked for. On the verge of drowning, he was kissed by an angel. Later he woke ashore without the shackles that the gangsters had tied around his ankle. Thinking nothing of it, Leigh went home, trying to come up with a plan to get himself out of the bind he ...
