Thank you @jennyproctorbooks for my eARC.


I absolutely adored this book, I love the whole Hawthorne family.  

Flint Hawthorne is a mega movie star and moved back home to Silver Creek, NC to have more privacy.  Audrey is a Wildlife biologist who is dedicated to her work and the land that her research is done she decides that she will take a chance in trespassing to continue her research.  Then she caught on the security cameras…and their friendship blooms from there and their fake dating scheme ๐Ÿ˜‰

This is a wonderful feel good story and it’s nice seeing Audrey bloom and become more confident, I love how open and honest they are with each other.  

Definitely recommend this book ☺️

Dark Obsessions


 

Dark Obsessions

By : Effie Campbell

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spice: ๐ŸŒถ️๐ŸŒถ️๐ŸŒถ️๐ŸŒถ️๐ŸŒถ️


TROPES + WARNINGS


This is a book with trigger warnings includes Abuse (not MMC), SA (Not MMC), Torture (Not MMC)


Tropes : 

☠️ Stalker romance

☠️Mafia/crime family

☠️Dark

☠️Praise

☠️Degradation

☠️Obsessed hero

☠️BDSM


“It was all wrong. I’d woken up thinking my boyfriend had finally focused on my pleasure, only to come all over a masked man’s fingers.”


‘Mac, what the h3ll?’ I couldn’t go out with my tights ripped to shreds. ‘With all due respect, shut up, Katie.’


Where do I even start?  This book is the 3rd book in the McGowen Mafia Series and the 3rd book I’ve read from this author.  I devoured them all.  This book is very dark at times so please read the trigger warnings.


Katie has had a rough life under the rule of an awful mafia father so once she is no longer under his rule she wants a life of freedom but that is not what she gets dating her rockstar boyfriend Tommy.  (There is a special place in h3ll for men like him)

Not long into the book Katie realized she has a masked stalker and ends up having a fling with someone she doesn’t even know.  

There is also a mystery that they set out to solve and some action.  It’s hard to write this review without giving too much away.  


If you love dark romance and morally grey characters I highly recommend this book.  


Thank you Effie for the e-arc and for bringing this family to us all.  Cannot wait to see what happens in Logan’s story.

Fourth Wing

 “I wouldn’t be standing here if I’d quit every time something seemed impossible to overcome. I will not die today.”


Mini Blurb

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.


“Hope is a fickle, dangerous thing. It steals your focus and aims it toward the possibilities instead of keeping it where it belongs—on the probabilities.”


They hype and obsession over this book is real and understandably so.  I felt this was a perfect mix of world building and character building.  I felt that the story went a long at a great pace.  I LOVE this book, is easily one of my favorite books of the year and will probably become my whole personality.


Violet was a great character, I love how she didn’t let her disability stop her from achieving all that she did.  It also shows that physical strength isn’t everything and is not all that makes someone great.  


“There’s nowhere in existence you could go that I wouldn’t find you, Violence


Xaden…(swoon) he was deliciously morally grey and the chemistry between him and Violet was ๐Ÿ˜˜๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿฅต

I also enjoyed the banter a lot!  


“I would rather lose this entire war than live without you, and if that means I have to prove myself over and over, then I’ll do it. You gave me your heart, and I’m keeping it.”


Dain…well what can I say about him.  He’s well, a D-bag.  I don’t care for him and I would love to see Violet lay him out in the next book.  


This is a binge worthy action packed romantasy I will recommend this book to everyone.  Go read it ASAP!!!!
