Shadowed Obsession: An Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 1)Shadowed Obsession: An Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My go-to genre isn’t necessarily to pick a thriller, so I was pleasantly surprised with Shadowed Obsession. Suspense was woven throughout the novel as Keira’s stalker ramped up their tactics and sexual tension rose between Keira and her attractive retired Seal neighbor, Cade.
I am glad this is a series with the Shadowy Defense Security company Cade is a part of, I felt like there was so much more to explore with Cade and his partner’s backgrounds. Pieces of their stories were touched upon, but between the Shadow Defense prior military experiences and the clients Keira had at the PR firm, there are a lot of opportunities to expand upon and I hope character development overlaps!
Very enjoyable read, with just the right amount of sexual tension to make the romance aspect just as fun!

Tequila MidnightTequila Midnight by Kathryn Dodson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A gripping, suspenseful crime drama which had me hooked from page one. Starting off in Texas, and Jessica Watts is determined not to get hurt again and so keeps people at arm’s length, whilst keeping the tequila near by. She’s still scarred from her parents corruption and lack of love, but the cross-border broker, known for being tough-as-nails, softens when a Mexican tycoon, with shady connections begs her to find his missing daughter. Jessica starts interviewing the missing woman’s friends but all this does is put her in danger, resulting in her being drugged and beaten.
However, Jessica is keen to carry on, even when the trail leads from Boston to Central America. Not only is she hunted by dangerous thugs but also by her own demons, but the deal maker turned detective is determined to succeed, and to survive to find peace. Jessica is a great main character, she’s stubborn, independent, tough, determined, but also haunted and drinks a bit too much tequila, all of which just makes her more likeable and relatable. The unique settings were brought vividly to life making me feel immersed in the story, whilst the fast paced storyline and plot twists kept me happily turning the pages!

Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance (Black Shamrocks MC: Australia Book 1)Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance by Bella Faust
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in this Trilogy. And wow what a start. This is a dark psychological MC story which I love. I love how MC stories are a band of men who standby and support each other and protect the women they love at all costs. This has the same feel but is much darker than others I’ve read. The author does an amazing job of dealing with some really triggering subjects in a sensitive way but which also shows the after effects not only on the victim but everyone connected to them.
I loved the characters in this story. For me the character that really stood out for me was Lilly (Cherub). She has gone through so much and is tormented by everything that has happened to her but deep down she still has a strength and a fire in her belly which I was amazed by. The way the author writes completely takes you inside her mind and you feel not only the physical pain but also the mental torture she puts herself through.
I will advise this book does have subject matter which may trigger some readers but the author spells all that out before the story even begins.

I don’t want to give too much away as this is definately something you need to read for yourself.
Lilly went through a terrible ordeal on her 18th birthday. An ordeal at the hands of a man that nearly cost her life.
Fast forward and the monster is released and has his eyes still set on her. Lilly is now in a relationship with Zeke who is a member of an MC and he is determined to make sure he protects her. But what happens when he fails her yet again? Can Lily really trust anyone in the MC? And when suspicions start around her own father being the person who allows the monster to get her again who is she meant to trust? This is a story full of danger, angst, secrets, lies, courage and strength. It will have you feeling every emotion possible and has definately left me wanting more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a continuation from Craving Control and is just as dark and intense as the first book. I mentally prepared myself going into this story and it was completely worth it. This book completely takes over as soon as you start reading it. You fully go on the journey with the character, every emotion and all the darkness. This is not a book to be taken lightly and I would highly recommend you heed the trigger warnings.
This book was fantastic from start to finish. It is the kind of book that you have to read twice because you read it so fast the first time you need to go back and capture all the details you missed. If you like dark and intense stories then this is definitely one for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tempting Fate (Black Shamrocks MC: Australia Book 1) by Bella Faust is a great suspense romance book.

This is the third year of Lily and Zeke’s story. Alex continues to remain fixated on Lily, despises Zeke, and makes every effort to separate the two of them. This is extremely dark, precisely what I would anticipate from the author, especially when you add treachery, general MC brutality, and tons of triggers. Zeke does his hardest to protect Lily.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into the dark romance world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Shadowed Obsession
By: Mavery Ellscott

This is the start of a brand new romantic suspense series that I truly loved and cannot wait for the rest of the books to come out. The plot is excellent and filled with twists and turns that make you keep wanting to read more. The characters are so very well developed. Kiera is working for a PR firm and has a stalker. However, the police department has been unsuccessful in finding the stalker. She isn’t your typical damsel in distress though and she enlists the help of her neighbor. Cade is ex special forces and more than willing to help. But what the author does even better than the suspense is writing in the attraction between Cade and Kiera. It is undeniable from the start. It kept me hoping that not only they would find the stalker, but also that they would get their happily ever after. I felt that Cade and Kiera were very well written and that the plot was well paced. I definitely recommend picking this one up for fans of romantic suspense.

Tequila Midnight is the first book in the Southwest Suspense series by Kathryn Dodson. I really enjoyed this book, it has a lot of what I look for in a good read, there was a mystery, suspense and a good romance (I want to find myself an Angus!). The story follows the main character Jessica as she gets roped into working for a Mexican criminal to find his missing daughter, however it seems like it may be more difficult than she thought. Throughout this, she is also trying to deal with her own issues, reeling from her parents abandoning her, Jessica tries to use her own kind of therapy to cope with her pain. I found this book engaging and didn’t want to put it down. I think this is a positive start to what will be a great series and I want to read more.

This was such an explosive start to what looks like an amazing series! I have not read anything from this author before, but I will definitely be checking out her other works ASAP. The book starts off strong with action right from the start and we see the intense chemistry between Keira and Cade and it was steamy. He was such a strong and sexy hero and Keira was such an amazing heroine. She had a rough past that had definitely colored her present, but she pushed through. This book definitely had you feeling the suspense of who is after Keira and the author did an amazing job of multiple red herrings. I couldn’t put the book down until I finished the last page. It definitely had me guessing until the final reveal. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Tequila Midnight
By: Kathryn Dodson

Oh my goodness, this is such an amazing story. I definitely did not want to put it down at all, I tried my best to read it in one sitting. Kathryn Dodson has created the perfect main character in Jessica Watts. Jessica Watts is quite honestly the perfect gritty heroine in my opinion. She keeps everyone at arms length and has a bit of a drinking problem. She was so relatable in so many ways to me. The setting of the borderlands is the perfect setting for this book, for Jessica Watts. It is gritty and filled with people who are escaping / hiding from something, including Jessica. She’s trying to hide from the pain of her past. She also has a dangerous job, working as a private investigator. She goes looking for a missing girl and definitely gets more than she anticipated. Jessica is the type of character that you find yourself rooting for, hoping for a happy ending, but knowing full well that you might not get it. I am glad to find out that there will be more books in this series as I truly loved this one. It had the perfect amount of suspense and grit and realism.

I was really excited to give The Misery House a try based solo on the synopsis as I had never heard of this author before. This was one of those stories that had me absolutely hooked from the very first sentence and captivated to the very end. I liked that the chapters varied in perspective, really allowing the reader the “big picture”. This novel left me craving more by the end and gave me a new author to keep an eye on!

The Misery House (The House on the Hill #1)The Misery House by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Misery House is the first book in the House on the Hill series, and told from multiple POV. The book takes place is the quaint little town of New Haven, where everyone knows everyone, and nothing interesting ever happens. Growing up in a town just like this one, I immediately felt comfortable and familiar with the setting. That is, until things start happening. A local grocery store burns down, and two bodies are found inside. Then, someone goes missing. Are they connected? And if so, who, or what, is to blame? Could it be the new family in town? It soon becomes apparent that the creepy old house on the hill at the edge of town might be the connection. The locals call the house The Misery House, and nothing good is said about it. From multiple perspectives, you learn that everyone mutually fears the house, possibly for good reason. How is the house connected or involved? Where did it all start, and why? The Misery House reels you in and keeps you guessing and wondering. Unfortunately not ALL the questions are answered, as the book ends on a cliffhanger. I do like how the book kept me engaged enough to want to pick up the next one and see where this will end up, and the story itself was interesting and immersive. Job well done to the author for skillfully bringing all the perspectives full circle, and I will be happy to read more from him.

This was an entertaining and spooky read! This is not my typical genre, but I enjoyed the story overall. The author introduced and told the story from multiple points of view which helped me engage with the story. I did find myself wanting a little more out of the character development, however, I did enjoy plot, setting, and development of the story. It gives you all the spooky feels of a haunted house story with an underlying mystery at hand! For reasons which will become obvious upon reading I can’t wait to see the rest unfold in a future installment!

In “The Misery House,” skillfully crafted by David Kummer, a gripping and chilling tale unfolds as part of “The House on the Hill” series, with this volume just beginning an exciting journey. As a devoted fan of David Kummer’s work, I eagerly anticipate whatever captivating stories this imaginative author has in store for the future.
Set in the quaint rural town of New Haven, the narrative unravels with disturbing events centered around the ominous Misery House. This foreboding structure conceals more than mere secrets within its haunting walls. Amidst the unsettling atmosphere, the Woods family and their dwelling on the hill become central figures, entangled in the web of danger that lurks at every turn.
From the outset, the book enthralls readers with its spine-chilling allure, leaving them unable to resist its gripping pull. Death looms around each corner, infusing the story with an eerie intensity. The journey that unfolds is nothing short of exceptional, capturing attention from start to finish.
“The Misery House” is a masterful blend of thrill and intrigue, keeping readers on the edge until the final page. You are left with unanswered questions since it is part of a series. As much as I dislike this, I look forward to the next book! Its unpredictability makes it the best story, captivating readers with every twist and turn. Once immersed in its pages, it becomes nearly impossible to put the book down.

Highly recommend that you read Bella’s first book Craving Control before starting this series. (READ HER TRIGGER WARNINGS). This series is absolutely a dark romance and so unique. Bella had me on the edge of my seat, waiting for what would happen next. I am eager to read this entire series and see what happens to the Cherub, Venom, Slash, and the rest of the Black Shamrocks. I am grabbing the next book Making Choices, immediately.

The Misery House (The House on the Hill #1)The Misery House by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book number one of this thrilling series and it does not disappoint.

The small town atmosphere created within this story is quaint, close knit and felt safe enough to leave their doors unlocked at night. Very unassuming and typical of an old fashioned lifestyle that is the appeal of living in such conditions.

The small town was shaken at the core after a suspicious fire took the lives of two individuals, one of which is a child. To make matters worse, a newlywed couple has gone missing. For a community so used to being supportive and open with each other, they find themselves questioning the latest events, and the possibility of not feeling safe again.

The community struggles to make sense of things, the lack of clues and the thought of hidden secrets belonging to an individual or group of folks who are less than upstanding and downright dangerous.

This thriller has all of the makings of a great introduction into The House On The Hill series. In true great horror story fashion, it brings to mind that the plot could be easily adapted into a stirring movie or series.

I cannot wait to see what happens next after the electrifying cliff hanger.

I give this story 4 out of 5 stars.

This book sucked me in right from the start. I typically don’t read soft horror or paranormal psychological thrillers, but I could not put this damn book down! It’s so good! It’s told from the perspective of the Woods family in split POVs, with a couple third person chapters thrown in there too. I’ve never read anything by this author before, but he’s definitely one of my new go-tos. The only thing about this book that upset me was the ending, since it ends in a cliffhanger because it’s part of a trilogy. However, the writing style is immaculate. It’s a very quick and easy read: Under 300 pages. Y’all, do not wait on this book. It’s absolutely fantastic and 100% worth the read. And for the author, thank you. And hurry up with book 2!!

I don’t really want to give away too much. You must read it to find out more. The chemistry is off the charts. The characters are so well written and drawn into the story so well that you can’t help but be pulled in right from the beginning.
At times, I found myself holding my breath waiting to see what happened. I am waiting to see what comes out in the next book.

Keira is a publicist about to make partner at her bosses association. After years of hard working clients and challenges she is more than ready to make it happen. But an expected situation develops when a random stranger keeps sending her photos of herself in different places, her house and work included, dismissing it as a ridiculous matter she does not give it her attention, until things get a little too scary to ignore them. 

 

Cade is an ex-militar with a job in a security firm, just moved to a new home in order to heal from his last mission that damaged not just his knee but his heart as well. He can appreciate the beauty in his new neighbor and somethin tells him she needs him more than she can possibly imagine. 

 

An amazing thriller with touches of romance, this book is a nonstop adventure that delights the imagination.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the first book I’ve read by Bella Faust, and I must say that I am going to be looking up other books that she’s written! This is by far the best psychological thriller that I’ve ever read! I could not put this book down from the moment I started reading it I was intrigued by the back story of our main characters, Lily and Venom, and what had happened with Alex, because it was horrendous. The characters are created so realistically that they sound like my relatives, a bunch of bikers who look out for one another, it’s the family code. I must say, this book is not for the faint of heart or anyone who may suffer from triggers due to sexual, physical, or psychological assault, if you fall into any of these categories, the author does warn you to be aware before reading. The twists and turns that this book made had my head spinning, I must say expect the unexpected because anything goes when you have a war of at least two separate gangs, add in young love and you are in for some real trouble…we all make mistakes, but are Lily’s ever going to be repaired, or will they cost her the life of those she loves as well as her own? This story is truly a work of art, that is so mind-blowing, and so realistic, beware you will get attached and pick a side fairly quickly, but watch out, there are so many secrets being kept, and plans being made behind the backs of those you thought you could trust. Once you pick up this book, you are going to be craving more, luckily, I heard there’s a pre-qual that you can only get from the author, as well as a part 2 that you won’t want to miss! As for me, Bella Faust is joining my favorite author’s list, I intend on following her so I don’t miss out on any new books coming out.

Dark, love triangle with warnings
What a brilliantly executed book. This has everything from psychological thriller aspects (including a psychopathic character) to an enduring love and romance. I didn’t realise there was a prequel, which I am going to have to rectify immediately. This is book 1 in the Duplicity Trilogy and with the way this finished I am hoping that book 2 is not too far away. With well developed characters and an intense and engaging narrative this book draws out all the emotions. Highly Recommend.

4.5 Stars

 

Tempting Fate is the first Book in the Black Shamrocks MC: Australia series by Bella Faust. OMG- this series!!! It’s quite edgy, raw, dark, intense, and twisted! I seriously recommend reading ‘Craving Control’ first before starting on this book, as “Craving Control’ is a prequel to this book/series and sets the groundwork and lays out the backstory that sets everything here in motion.
I won’t go into the story here, as I really don’t want to give anything away that will spoil it for you. But I will say that there are a lot of potential triggers in this book/series, things do get quite dark at times- and the story/series isn’t for the faint of heart, that’s for sure… so if you are looking for a light-hearted read, hearts and flowers, have triggers, or don’t like having your emotions toyed with- then this probably isn’t the book for you. For everyone else, strap yourself in because you’re in for a bit of a wild ride as Ms. Faust takes a dark turn, with shocking details that will strips you bare, then toy with your emotions, unbalance you, and twist your mind- all with an evil grin on her face and a sinister cackle echoing around her as she unleashes the tsunami of angst that’s brewing for her readers. Ms. Faust certainly proves her writing prowess with this dark tale.
Bring on Book #2!!!
Addictive Reading…

Thank you, Bella Faust!

If your highly sensitive, avoid reading this as there is multiple triggers. Liliana is my favorite character. Yet I’m a little bias just because of her name. Also can’t help but admire her for her strength and her determination to show she is a survivor. Lily has the skills to keep going forward. Though she was a victim she isn’t drowning in her sorrows. I highly recommend this book if you can take the triggers. If not kindly move on.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The prequel isn’t a romance, but a deep dive into a psychopath’s mind where we hear his side of the story.  Think Criminal minds except worse. When the author gives you warnings about the triggers, please understand it isn’t just a line or a paragraph mentioning said triggers but pages of details. The kind of details that keep you up and make you keep the lights on.  With that said, I feel the prequel was necessary.  The author can spin a tale,  but what blew my mind was the way she navigated these dark waters.  I felt the gamut of emotions.  Third, this book is more of a dark romance but please be aware there are still triggers that come up as danger surrounds Lily once again.   Zeke and Lily’s relationship is complex as it layers over the past.  A past that starts to feel very “in the present”. The author’s understanding of the human mind and the way she presents it to us is very unique.  Her writing made an impression on me.  She wrenches emotions from the reader and is hardly breaking a sweat it seems. My compliments to the author!

Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance (Black Shamrocks MC: Australia Book 1)Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance by Bella Faust
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is an absolute thick piece of an enticing romance full of love, betrayal, tenacity, and hope. It is a very graphic book, so please check trigger warnings and keep your mind safe as you read through this, because it does have detailed descriptions of SA and physical abuse. However, it absolutely sucked me and kept my attention as I started to delve into the Shamrock MC. I loved Lily, and the evolution of her character was fantastic. As I said, this is a very thick book, and while some parts are a little slower, the pace is set very well. The writing is a little different from what I’m used to, but it didn’t deter me from falling in love with the book or the characters. Highly recommend, and I’ll be waiting for book 2!

This book drew me in from the start. This story is full of drama, betrayal, angst, love, steamy moments, great characters and so much more. There are definitely trigger warnings. I had a hard time putting this down because the author kept me glued to the story with twists and turns. I found myself on the edge of my seat at times while reading because I became so engrossed in the story. You can feel the love between Zeke and Lilly but that doesn’t mean they don’t have some issues to work out. There are a few characters that I couldn’t stand which made the story that much better. This is a must read and I can’t wait until I can read the book in this trilogy. I highly recommend this book.
