  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...

  Kingdom Fall, (Underworld Kings) A Zavarelli ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: I was a nanny in need of a job. He was darkness personified. I had little to call my own. He was filthy rich, powerful, and dangerous. The assignment was simple, and my goal was too. Take care of his son. Keep my head down. When he least expects it, destroy him. It should have been easy. I thought it would be until I looked into his stark blue eyes. Kissing the enemy is a bad idea, but so is falling in love with him. He doesn’t know my crumbling foundation is built on lies. When he discovers the truth, I’ll find out if he’s as brutal as I believe. I came here to steal his life. I didn’t count on him stealing my heart. Kingdom Fall is part of the Underworld Kings series. If you read the Society Trilogy then you already know a little about the world this series is set in but you don't have to read that trilogy to read this book. In this book we have Alessio and Natalia. Alessio is a Sovereign Son in IVI....

  Ruthless Traitor, (82 Street Vandals) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: At the heart of it all was a secret and a lie. A secret we didn’t tell her. A lie we told ourselves. Emersyn Sharpe is more than just the girl we watched over. She’s very much the woman who fits us. The last thing we should have done was take her and the worst thing we did was keep her, but she needs us. I think, more than one of us—myself included—needs her. The secret wasn’t ours to share and the lie? I bought into the lie that keeping her was saving her. The lie that persuading her to trust us was needed. The lie that falling in love with her was as natural as breathing. It didn’t matter if I wasn’t alone in falling into this trap. It mattered that when the trap closed, it put her on one side and us on the other. Damn and we were so close too… My name is Vaughn Westbrook and I’ll be damned if I give up now. RUTHLESS TRAITOR is a full length mature college/new adult romance with enemi...

  Wicked Dark Heathens, (Sick Boys) Lucy Smoke ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: What tangled webs we weave... He's everything I don't want. A playboy. A best with a cunningly gorgeous smile. Faces like his only mean one thing. Somewhere underneath all of that handsomeness, there lies a monster. And if anyone can sense a monster, it's me. I understand cruelty. I've lived and breathed it my entire life. I existed on the 'charity' of others until I realized that it woudn't be enough. My demons would soon be set free. They were coming back for me and to be ready for them—to be ready for him—I needed to make myself invincible. But it's not enough. If I'm going to survive then I need to make an alliance with a monster of my own: Abel Frazier. Wicked Dark Heathen is the fourth book in the Sick Boys series but this one isn't about Dean and Ava. Nope this time we get Abel and Rylie. Can I just start off by saying that I want to have babies with Abel Fr...

  Vicious Rebel, (82 Street Vandals) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: My name is Emersyn Sharpe. Until a few months ago, I was the lead performer for a traveling show finishing up a contract. I had been beaten, but never broken. Then they took me. I didn’t belong in their world. Still, they took me and I didn’t know why. They promised to protect me and to keep me safe, but they had to know I’d run. They had to know. Now my world and theirs might be on a collision course and as much as I didn’t belong in their world, I didn’t want mine to rain down on them. Not on Jasper, the dictatorial jerk who kissed like he wanted to own me. Not on Rome, the tortured artist who protected me. Not on Kestrel, the liar with the soulful eyes and dedicated heart. Not on Liam, the bastard who loved his brother. Not on Vaughn, the beautiful man with the beautiful voice who made me want everything I shouldn’t. Not on Doc, the gifted physician who’d kept his promises to me. I ran. Bu...

  Defiance and Dedication, (Untouchable) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads  Blurb: Autumn in New York promises a turn in the seasons as we kick off the next stage of our lives. Colorful leaves falling, dropping temperatures, and the first days of classes loom even as the lingering summer heat and humidity make the city stifling. Summer was a time to get away, to just be us, and what a magical time it was, but we can only run away from our lives for so long. We have family, careers, friends—new and old—as well as commitments waiting for us. With a new place to call our own in a new city I’m already half-in-love with, we’re not afraid of the challenges ahead. Of course, not everyone is rooting for us, not everyone wants us to succeed, and some choices may come back to haunt us. But don’t come for those I love and expect me to do nothing. They might want to surround me in a layer of protection, but they’re mine and I’m more than willing to fight to keep them. Feel free t...
