October Wrap

 I wanted to go with some spooky-ish themes this month. I know not all of these are going to be spooky reads but hey I wanted to get some good reading in this month. I had a bit of extra time this month and a little bit of extra time to read during work hours

Synopsis:

The answer to your question will be revealed on the Lunar Eclipse.But when finding the truth, don't let the shadows take you.

The week of The Reckoning has begun. And senior students have been tasked with making the freshmen's lives pure hell as they prepare to take their fateful assessment.

With the Lunar Eclipse on the horizon, Tory and Darcy have more to worry about than just passing their exams. A dark plot is unfolding and the shadows are drawing closer...

My Opinion:

I have to be really honest I got burned out by the time that I finished this book. I think that is because I read the first three of these in less than a week. I'm pretty sure I read these over the course of four days. By the end of this their orders have emerged. It's amazing honestly.

However, the grudge that the girls had at the end of the second book that I completely justified... I can no longer justify at the end of this book. I just can't because you hear about it all the way from the beginning of the second book until the end of this book and I already know that it also continues a bit in the fourth book. After hearing about this for so long you just get tired of it.

I love how they have grown in their powers and it seems that Darcy has grown as a character even if she is in a forbidden romantic relationship. Out of the two girls Darcy has been the one to grow. I love that at least one of them has honestly grown. I just hope that Tory grows at some point because honestly if she doesn't she may kill this series for me and I love it a lot right now.

Synopsis:

Jack is a faceless gamer known as The Joker. He makes a living playing video games and using his gravelly voice to bring people’s sexual fantasies to life.

When the top gaming site on the West Coast sends someone out to interview him, Quinlan walks into his apartment with her auburn curls and thick curves, and they’re instantly drawn to each other.

Quinlan has no idea of the monster that lurks beneath the surface of his calm demeanor.

Jack is quicksand, pulling her down into the dark underbelly of his desires.

To get out unscathed, she’ll need to give into the hunger she has always tried to deny.

My Opinion:

This was a quick read. I literally sat down in one sitting and managed to read this. It is all of 90 pages. It was an okay book. It jumped into the spice real quick. Extremely quick. It felt like I barely got five pages in before the smut started. I am not complaining about it. Trust me I am not. The play in this particular book though for the spice is not my cup of tea. He treats her like a dog telling her she can't walk she has to crawl. I'm not for that kind of degrading just not my cup of tea. Great spice though when it came to the sex.

This book is an 18+ obviously for it's adult themes.

Synopsis:

Cora knows she’s lucky to be engaged to the handsome Marky Harrison, a former high school football player. As a curvy girl, she knows her place in life and landing a man like Marky is sheer good fortune. But when her fiancé blows up their engagement, Cora retreats to a cabin to cry and rage.


Matt Harrison has been attracted to his son’s beautiful, sassy fiancée for a long time, but he was determined NOT to be that douchebag father-in-law. The alpha male tamped down on his attraction to Cora while his son was in the picture, but now that Marky’s gone, why not act on his deepest desires … even if it means giving Cora a baby?


This is a taboo tale where a curvy girl meets the man of her dreams … who also happens to be her fiancé’s father. Forbidden? Check. Wrong? Check. Utterly sizzling, knock-your-socks-off-filthy, mouth-wateringly delicious? Check check. Click “Read” now! No cliffhangers, no cheating, and always a HEA for my readers.

My Opinion:

This was a cute taboo read. I mean it's a quick read and I enjoyed it. I kind of needed the quick read. Something to get my brain going again after I stalled on reading again. And this is an age gap. The age gap is between our main character and her future father-in-law. The fiance she was engaged to finally discovers his truth. Her mother convinces her to go out to the cabin. Her now ex-future-father-in-law has to get the engagement ring and goes out to the cabin and the time goes on from there.
