Elements of Mischief
Tate James - 2017
Read with a glass of wine and a smile! Four hunky, supernatural plumbers. One reluctant, slightly drunk human. A match made in heaven … or in the bathroom, rather. My name is Arizona Smoke, and I'm the proud owner of a house haunted by my dead Gram, best friend to a cocktail dress loving werewolf, and apparent soul mate to four plumbers who also happen to be elemental dragons. Besides rippling pectorals, tattoos, and … uh, nice, long pipes, the guys also have control of the elements. Supernatural law (whoever heard of such a thing anyway?) dictates that since I stumbled upon the guys in their alternate forms, I have to marry them. All four of them. Oh, and apparently one lousy (okay, awesome) night of sex means that I'm an elemental, too—and no amount of magical penicillin can cure this disease. All I wanted was hot running water and toilets that flushed, but now I'm dealing with monsters lurking in the sewers, supernatural politics, and four penniless (but totally hot) plumbers living in my crumbling old Victorian. I'm Ari Smoke, wine aficionado, ex-barista, and a girl who is completely out of her element. Having four hot husbands is nice … but the death threats, not so much.

Queen of the Dead
M. Sinclair - 2020
I’m joking, it sucks.Can I really blame them though? I mean sure, I'm a total bad*ass and babe. But why would two sexy vampires, a century-old demon, and wolf shifter be interested in little old me?Now, I don’t want to discredit myself because let me be clear… I’m awesome.The fun kick*ss leather wearing type of awesome that hangs out with the dead because frankly, the living are pretty annoying.

Right?! Apparently, not if my friends have anything to say about it.This is why I stick to the dead and not the living.

If you actually want to read a deep, epic story and witness every character grow throughout their journey, give this story a chance but be prepared for realistic pacing for character growth.Book One is 155,000 words, but the entire trilogy is over 700,000. This is just the beginning. Each book completes a part of the whole journey and should be read in its entirety.Warnings: Triggers for abuse, mental health disorders. Heavy violence, horror, strong language, emotional and controversial themes, sex, rape(not praised), will have multiple loves for the heroine(stressful but worth the wait and makes sense when it's meant to)*Please do not criticize the mental health disorders in this story or how the character copes with these disorders as well as grief, trauma, and confliction. This book was written for a very specific group of readers in mind, and bashing Jane's path to heal, how she reveals her tragedies, and how she raises her children with these disorders may cause distress to these readers. Be considerate. Everyone grieves differently, loves differently, and heals from trauma in their own ways. Criticizing a survivor in any way is awful, so please be mindful with your reviews.

Ill Will
Cate Corvin - 2020
Relentlessly sensual vicious. Utterly delicious vile. Marrying into the famous Godalming slayer-clan was supposed to be my family’s big break. Our clan is fractured, my brother is dead, and my mother’s spirit was broken by the ordeal. I’d do anything to make her proud and see her truly smile again. I’d even spend a year in the snobby, prestigious Libra Academy with Lord Godalming’s gorgeous son. I don’t know what I did to earn Will Godalming’s seething hatred, but he’ll do anything to get rid of me for good, even if he sometimes seems like the only one who understands me. Sura Enver is almost irresistible with a cruel streak a mile wide, but he’s hiding dark secrets under those knockout looks. And when I put a dying vampire out of her misery, I end up at the very top of an ancient warrior’s hit list. No sane slayer angers Càel the White Wolf, the fiercest knight of the vampires’ Clouded Court. They’re unstoppable. Wicked. Malignant. And each wants to make me suffer. Between the torment of Libra’s eat-or-be-eaten rules and the rising threat of a new vampire king, enemies prowl on all sides. But they’re messing with the wrong slayer. Ill Will is the first book of Victoria’s Trilogy in the Bonds of Blood universe, a steamy, medium-burn reverse harem bully romance in a college-age academy setting.

The Labyrinth Queen
Tansey Morgan - 2018
In a world where Kings and Queens make court, where monsters are real, and magic is to be feared, there exists a great and terrible labyrinth of unknown origin, lorded over by an equally enigmatic and mysterious King. No one who enters the labyrinth without the King's permission leaves, those who defy the King are thrown in as punishment, but for everyone else who lives within this King's domain, the labyrinth is a source of safety and protection. For Cora, the labyrinth is about to become a nightmare from which she can never awaken. The Labyrinth Queen is the first in a brand new series by Tansey Morgan, author of the hit debut novel, 'Serpent's Touch', and the Last Serpent series. Departing from her usual style of contemporary paranormal romance in favor of the fantastical, Tansey offers a spellbinding story filled with twists, turns, magic, and danger, told from the standpoint of a woman who questions her own self worth, but yearns to find it. More than just that, however, Tansey introduces us to the love interests in the story by giving you their unique points of view, allowing you to follow this Reverse Harem novel through the eyes of not just one, but many viewpoints. If you love the paranormal romance and fantasy genres, if you like your stories to have a little bite in them, if you aren't scared of excitement, then this is the book for you. Disclaimer: this book is part of a continuing series of novels, all which will follow the same arc over many books, but each which will tease into the next - expect to be left with questions at the end. As a reverse harem fantasy novel, you can expect there to be action, magic, intrigue, and multiple primary love interests. Sexual content will also form a part of this series, as will swearing and violence. If you're happy with all of this, then... Pre-order the Labyrinth Queen today, and "forget about the baby"!
