What da FUQ did I just read and why do I feel guilty for having THE BEST TIME?This book was a fucking SHOCK to my little vanilla icecream, white bread, pepper too spicy system. (I know there's WAY worse/more fucked books out there, but most of the time I like to read for fun, silly tehe's and men kissing, so I'm very inexperienced in the fucked up book world)WOW.Wow.wow.If I could have recorded my face whilst reading this, I have not a single doubt it would have been like:AS MUCH AS I AM TEAM "N...

5 stars. i said it before and i’ll say it again - Ariana Nash never disappoints.✦ this was so good!! this was very Game of Thrones-like, dragons and incest galore.✦ an elven assassin, who's life mission is killing the dragon queen, and a dragon prince falling in love?? fuck me up please.✦ very frustrating and angsty at times, but this is Ariana Nash we’re talking about. she’s the queen of angst. all this suffering is SO enjoyable though. i can’t wait to suffer some more while reading this ser...

I'm a little disappointed because I didn't love this as much as I thought I would. I absolutely loved the Captive Prince series and I heard this was similar, but although it was definitely similar, I didn't think it was nearly as good in comparison✅ I LOVED THE WORLD and magical creatures, although I was surprised to find out this was a post-apocalyptic world instead of straight fantasy? But anyway, this had both dragons and elves, two of my favorite fantasy races!! I feel like elves are oftenti...

⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱*Might Contain Spoilers*⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱ I was scared to start this one was people said that if you like Beautiful Monsters series by Jex Lane you'd like this one..... I didn't like BM that much. It had too much darkness, if you will. I felt the same when I started reading this author's The Prince's Assassin series, however, the author kept a fine line, enough for me to enjoy it. I don't like torture, flogging/whipping, dismemberment and rape. Hate it, in fact. I'm loyal to a fault, I prefer mono...

So... after some debate, I decided to take PUC's rec and give this a try. I see Monique likes this author's books too, and since I'm on a MM binge, let's see where it goes!I don't know how I feel yet... This is a tough one.OK, here are my thoughts: THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE! Lots of trigger warnings - so do your research-- LOTS AND LOTS OF RAPE!! That being said...1) 5 stars for the world buildingWhat can I say, I LOVE dragons!! Gotta be my fave shifters out of all shifters out there. Any author w...

Love it. Dark fantasy adventure romance. There are two hot men, an elf and a dragon. What's not to like?Lots of twisted dark, rapey stuff. But somehow, this particular author does it right. Like, the capture, torture, rape scenes aren't just devices for titillation, but they have a purpose, to move the plot along, to show the workings of a character's mind, and that's why I don't mind them.Unlike another book in the same genre. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...In fact, compared to this bo...

5 'Where has this book been all my life!?!' stars Being a survivor, living with the pain, healing from it, it makes you strong. This book is bloody brilliant and I have no idea how is it possible that I haven't come across it sooner. I might be repeating myself since I was already gushing about plenty of things in my review for the prequel novella but I have to say it again. I absolutely love the worldbuilding. The lands are dominated by dragon shifters - metal and jeweled kind - who are fight...

This book was so fucking good but please, for the love of GOD, don’t read this without fully digesting the content warnings in the synopsis. People are not joking when they say this book is full of torture, sexual assault, physical assault, emotional torment, pain, blood, grotesque incest and just tons of insane suffering that rivals Game Of Thrones. Jesus christ, some parts of this (namely the dick-chopping scene) made my vagina jump right up into my body and hide like a fucking pine marten. I ...

Audio – 5 stars! I’m so glad I waited on the audio because the narrator’s performance was perfect. Story – 5 stars! Loved, loved, loved. Thank you so much for the rec, Achim!! xxIt’s the rare story that I find extended couple separation acceptable. This is one the rare stories. Firstly, because it’s book 1 of a trilogy. If the author makes up for the separation in the upcoming books, all will be forgiven. Secondly, I felt the connection between the MCs even though they were together for a short ...
