My rating:

Dallas Wilde is a paid assassin, and fish trainer. He takes on many dirty jobs, like tracking down and killing a necromancer, which is what he's doing when we first meet him. That job does not end as successfully as Dallas thinks, and his next assignment from a wealthy succubus proves to be a challenge. To make matters worse, Dallas seems to have inherited a vampire thrall that insists on being his bodyguard.

Review - Mind Controlling the Twins by Adara Wolf & R. Phoenix

My rating:

Content warning: The book in this review contains non-consensual sex and incest. Nathaniel and Basile are twins who have been sold off by their parents to pay off the money they embezzled. With any luck, they've been purchased by an old lady who just wants a couple of cute young men to clean house, but when they find out their owner is Lord Aetherton, Nathaniel knows they're in trouble. He saw the lord molest another student at university but used his magic to ensure the young man had no memory of the rape.

Review - Garden of Secrets by Drake LaMarque

My rating:

On the eve of his twentieth birthday, Alistair feels more lonely than ever. His parents are going out, without him. They never take him to any of the parties they go to almost every night. The two hardly interact with Alistair at all. He's had tutors but has never been to school. Then, that night, his parents are killed. When their will is read, it presents Alistair with a choice: He can live on an impossibly small allowance until he's 25, or if Alistair attends Misselthwaite college for a year, he can come into his full inheritance.

He's not sure why he was arrested in the first place since he had nothing to do with the fire at a jewelry store where he was dumpster diving.

Review - The Captive Prince by A. C. Fox

My rating:

Lord Domlen is desperate to lift the curse the Boa Visk placed on his stronghold. It was once known as the Fortress of the Sun, but now it's the Fortress of the Rain. It's not just the perpetual rainstorms. The guards and staff of the castle are all dead but can't cross over. They're barely corporeal ghosts, and if Domlen doesn't find a way to help them, they'll turn into ghouls roaming the countryside and sucking the life out of every living thing.

Review - Something Wicked by Eden Winters

My rating:

Once upon a time, in the magical realm where fairies, elves, ogres, and others once lived in peace alongside humans, a powerful sorceress emerged. Never content with what she had, the woman sought even more power by stealing it from others, killing them in the process. The sorceress served a king whose castle was built on an ancient wellspring of magic, but in truth, she only served herself.

Review - Regi's Goddess by Lyn Gala

My rating:

Regi continues to wrestle with the idea that he has been "noticed" by one of the many gods his people believe in. What's more, he thinks the human Dante has been favored by the same goddess, and that's something that the xenophobic Kowri would never accept. Navigating the complex politics of his people's religious leaders to keep Dante and the rest of his Coalition crewmates safe proves to be quite challenging.

Review - Hardwood by Sam Burns and W.M. Fawkes

My rating:

Unlike his brothers, Malcolm has no problem being an incubus. His father may be an evil bastard, but at least he's a rich evil bastard who can buy Malcolm nice clothes and get them into clubs where there are lots of pretty humans to pick from. It's a long way from the squalor he grew up in with his drug-addict mother, and Malcolm has no intention of going back. Kosta is a siren who has turned his back on his kind.
