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 ...

Step Bully Review

  Book Source: Kindle Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: MM Romance / Standalone Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Step Bully by Willow Dixon Review  When I learned Julian was called Jules, I immediately thought of Jules from Euphoria. Despite the book's description of Jules’s character, I couldn’t stop picturing him as Euphoria Jules. Which was funny because they were nothing alike. Jules and Ash were stepbrothers, who hated each other because of the situation they were forced into. By God, I hated their parents. Even to the end. I was like ‘flip them the middle finger and move the heck on’ but to my dismay, they didn’t. Which kind of pissed me off. Gosh, I am a monster. Anywhos, the boys were thrust into sharing an apartment for their senior year of college. This was where the lines got blurred. I loved the bantering. It was amazing to read. Then other things came in and I was not liking them. At parts where I should have shown sympathy...

Gloden Review

  Book Source: BookSiren Cross Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Erotic Novella  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Golden by S.B Hazel Review  Curiosity led me to read this novella. Though the description said taboo, the words ‘watersports play’ in the synopsis/bio caught my attention. I had no idea what it was. Thus, I read this accepted this Arc and read it to feed my inquisitiveness. Boy, did I find out. I was like ‘wow, oh, so that’s what it is.’ Where I’m from watersports play is called ‘golden shower’. I was more than satisfied to find that out. I patted myself on the back after reading Golden. I didn’t even bat an eye and read it without a flinch. That called for success. With that said, it was not my cup of tea. All the sports play talk. Everything else was interesting. Even though it was short.  Sammy worked at an erotic club, catering to clients of various kinks. One night, she filled in for another worker and met two gorgeous...
