Four Psychos (The Dark Side, #1) Review

Four Psychos? Honestly, I never understood why the book is called this. Yes, there were four guys. Were they psychos? No. Or not my type of psychos. I went into the book, thinking dark and riveting. I never got that. Nor the spice. But...yep...I liked it, nonetheless. Kristy gave me something I never expected to gobble up like Four Psychos whether the men were stable or not. 

Lucifer? Now, that is the definition of psycho and what I was expecting from the four stars. I would totally date him. Not in real life, though. But he seems hot in my head. In an age-gap kind of romance. 

A sad side note - I never read the synopsis, so I went into this blind. I should really stop doing this. 

If anyone would ask me who was my favorite out of the four men, I wouldn't know. Their knight in ghostly armor ate up all my attention. (Side joke) I was a bit confused at the beginning of chapter one.  As the story progressed, so did my understanding of what was going on. And I loved Keyla---me trying to jog my memory if this is how her name was spelled. 

She had me cringing, laughing, and cursing the men on her behalf. Everything she did kept me moving forward. I stopped caring about the men---not like I gave a rat's ass about them from day one, but you get the drift---because she was the perfect protagonist. I'm not usually a fan of one point of view but being in this not-so-ghost's head made my day. If only all female leads could be this amazing then most books would be more readable. Like if the book was named after her, I would have understood and accepted it. 

There were times when her actions contradicted her thoughts. A bit weird. It wasn't anything major to distract me from the ride Kristy meant to take me on. I got irritated with the guys, which got me dropping off a star. It pissed me off even more that she couldn't just drop them. Like gosh! This is me being angry, remembering the story after waiting several days to write the review. 

Okay, maybe I should start from the start. After five years of watching four mystery men, this ghost got a chance to be recognized when men broke into their house to kill said men. My girl saved their asses and got the attention she needed---or not to a certain extent. They were more assholes than psychos and none of them deserved her. Even so, these five people had to solve the mystery of who they were while trying to stay alive in purgatory. So yes, the book had a great plot. The men were not so worth it. The female lead was badass. Some of the side characters held more interest to me. It ended on a cliffhanger. But go ahead and read it for yourself, you might just get it or them.

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 ...
