  The New Gods, (Rebels and Curses) Ripley Proserpina ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb:  Kiss me or kill me? All my life, I’ve been fascinated by stories about gods and the mortals they treated like toys. Now I’m at Oxford University with a newly acquired doctorate, and I’m making a career out of my childhood obsession. There, among medieval buildings and famous libraries, I meet five men who have names right out of Greek mythology. Achilles. Hector. Paris. Pollux. Orestes. I’m drawn to them, not only because of their names, but by the passion they try to hide. And the way our fates seem inexplicably linked. Turns out, I’ve uncovered an ancient artifact that could do more than just turn the academic world on its head. It’s the key to releasing a pantheon of angry gods who’ve had millennia to plot their revenge. And it’s the reason these legends have emerged from the shadows. Five men who were once princes, generals, and tragic heroes have vowed to stop at nothing to preve...

  His Rule, (The Rite Trilogy) A Zavarelli & Natasha Knight ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: I live in a world where secrecy reigns. A Society rooted in power, wealth, and long-held dynasties.

  Servant, (Trials of Blood) Rebecca Royce ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: By the end of the day my best friends will all be dead…. I’m not very interesting. Most people just leave me alone. I’m poor and on my own more than I’m not. Lately, however, I’ve caught the attention of five guys who I never expected to know. Rowan. Ace. Tanner. Griffin. Caesar. They are rich. Powerful. Gorgeous.

  Kill Song, (Cardinal Sins) Heather Long & Blake Blessing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: Open Case File Memo Honor my father. There are four types of serial killers.  Hedonistic.  Power/control.  Mission-oriented.  Visionary.  Not all serial killers are caught. At any given point, there could be as many as fifty serial killers active at a time. Fifty. I’m looking for one. He’s male, likely in his forties or fifties now. He’s been killing successfully for more than three decades. I suspect even longer, though our timeline is based only on the earliest victim we’ve identified with his signature mark. Seventy-nine kills that we are certain of. A year ago, the unsub’s methods changed. It was a subtle shift. Instead of one or two bodies a year, five have been dropped. Forensic evidence remains inconclusive, but in my gut, I know something’s changed. Either the unsub has a partner or he’s about to become a spree killer. It’s only a matter of time b...
