Official Reviews
The Beast⭐⭐⭐⭐
Twisted Kingdoms Book 4
By: Frost Kay
Making deals with a dragon is never wise.
Living on the outskirts of society taught Thorn three vital lessons. Money and beauty bought everything, people were obsessed with treasure, and no one returned from the beast's territory.
No one, but Thorn.
When she's commissioned to retrieve a special flower from deep within the mountains, she knows it's a bad idea to tempt fate again, but is left with little choice when she's blackmailed into accepting the job.
It was supposed to be a simple extraction.
Ambushed and captured by the cursed dragon she hoped to avoid, the cloaked shifter gives her two choices. Play his wicked game or pay for her transgressions in blood. Despite the way, his deep voice sends shivers down her spine, or the way he seems to soften toward her, she knows there's only one way their games will end.
In regret, heartache, and betrayal.
The Beast is a complete, *stand-alone novel*, inspired by the classic fairytales Beauty and The Beasty and Jack and the Beanstalk with a "happily ever after" ending. It's a must-have for romantic fantasy readers who loved A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova and Of Goblins and Gold by Emma Hamm. If you love books that feature enemies to lovers, rags to riches, mates, dragons, and pulse-pounding adventure, you need to start this fantasy retelling with epic twists.

Dark Fae ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ruthless Boys of Zodiac Book #1
By: Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti
Me.
Elise Callisto. Vampire. Angel of vengeance. And a girl on a mission to destroy one of them for murdering my brother. I just don’t know which one did it yet.
When I kicked the ass of a Werewolf who was high on a new and dangerous drug called Killblaze, his final words painted a dark reality for me. The King of Aurora Academy killed my brother. The trouble is, there are four kings at that school and each of them has motive and cutthroat natures.
Aurora Academy isn’t a place for the faint of heart. To put it lightly, my town is the asshole of Solaria where the dodgiest Fae in the kingdom resides. The school itself is divided by the two gangs who run this town. The Lunar Brotherhood and the Oscura Clan. And guess what? Two of the kings run the gangs at the school, their hatred for each other so fierce I hear a day doesn’t go by without blood being spilled in the halls.
I might be a petite, lilac-haired girl who looks like a fragile doll, but they haven’t been introduced to my fangs yet. And they don’t know why I’m really here. Or that I’ll do whatever it takes to bring down the Fae who took my flesh and blood from me.
I don’t believe in fate, but I do know this… the King who killed my brother is a dead man walking. And I’m prepared to sacrifice my heart, body, and soul to ensure I get my revenge.
This is a reverse harem series set in the world of Zodiac Academy four years before the Vega Twins were Awakened. Expect some character cross-over, dark and hot romance, and a twisted murder mystery that will leave your head spinning.

Conversion Series Book 2

Emily
When I moved to Portland to start my dream career at one of the top advertising firms in the world, I had not expected to fall for my smoldering, sexy boss. I tried like hell to end things before they started, but it proved to be more difficult than anticipated. After a disastrous night trying to escape the reality of my situation, Reid was there to pick up the pieces. It was then that I knew I needed him in my life. So, despite a nagging worry that our feelings might have an effect on my job, we have found ourselves navigating both a working and a romantic relationship, something neither of us had prepared for.
While we are taking things slow and learning more about each other every day, I’m certain there are things Reid isn’t ready to confide in me about. When he takes me to an out-of-town event and gives me the royal treatment, I’m sure life couldn’t get any better-- that is, until I’m knocked back into reality when his past crashes the party.
I’m no longer certain anything in my life will weather the storm, including my beloved career, which seems to be going down with the landslide.
I’m not ready to say goodbye to Reid and Emily but I will say I’m happy with the way things ended. There were some definite rocky bits throughout this series but all in all, I enjoyed my time with the characters. I was happy to get more Kat time and thrilled to see the next book will be her story! I do feel like some parts felt rushed but it happens and the storyline didn’t really jump around so it’s all good. I got my HEA story & just in time because it was a great distraction from my work-life stress! Melissa & Kristin can bring on more stories maybe even give us some insight into their story :p

@HeatherB: Can’t believe Sullivan Meadows is dating TWO men and they’re like all together. Like OMG. Totally didn’t think the rumors were true.
@YuiK: anyone know what happened to Sullivan Meadows? News is saying something bad went down. Seems bad.
@PaulieP: Why is there no reporting on the thing that “allegedly” happened to that Meadows girl? They aren’t saying whether her boyfriends were there???
@TiffanyW: Y’all I can’t with Sullivan’s boyfriends. They just sandwiched her in PUBLIC to avoid cameras lmao
@RiverT: Banks Moretti & Akara Kitsuwon are totally banging. I don’t make the rules
@CarlaR: OMGOMGOMG Sullivan Meadows qualified for the Olympics! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
@LacieA: Celebrity Crush is saying ALL the families will be at the Olympics to root for Sullivan. I'm dead #HalesMeadowsCobalts
@GeorgieO: Dude no way she wins a gold medal. Sulli the Slut is too busy screwing anything that walks
@VenusQ: I bet her boyfriends will distract her. Last Olympics, she was single. This one, she’s a MESS. Messiness isn’t getting gold #sorrynotsorry
With danger, Olympics, and unexpected life twists on the horizon for Akara, Sulli, and Banks, the only way out of the rising tide is to swim harder.
