This was a great MC book. They have a whole community, not just a clubhouse. And Roadkill and Clyde are adorable together. Not gooey adorable, but loyalty and letting down barriers with each other adorable.

He's the stag with his antlers lowered, I'm the wolf trying to get a bite. Vibes: two closeted rivals in enemy MCs start a secret lake house tryst after almost killing each other.

One doesn't need much experience to see he wants to submit and please me. If that's his desire, who am I to deny him?

The Shadow Prince's Ruin by K.A. Merikan

Didn't personally like Sylvan or Hawk as people, but they worked well together as characters. Much more adventurous than the first book. Can't say which I liked better, they're just different.

Finding Home by Charmkeeper #chocobros Noctis/Prompto/Ignis/Gladio

A very cute fic where Prompto joins the pack. Slice of life. Werewolves but not omegaverse. Noctis is one of the best ace depictions I've seen, not stereotypical sex repulsed.

I wanted something with plot but not HEAVY and I gave this one a try since it's a different couple in each book so I knew they wouldn't be pulled away from each other at the end.

Taken By The Lord Of The Nocturne Court by K.A. Merikan

Overall I enjoyed this new book by one of my favorite authors! Luke's ability to be manipulated did get old, but the world and the creatures were a lot of fun. Kyran 🥰❤❤

#BookReview #BookRec #BookSky #MMRomance #SpicyRomance

Book includes: burgers, misunderstandings, strangers to lovers, first time, Court intrigue, violence, kidnapping, elves, goth, spice, shadows. Quote: I shouldn't be listing after a guy who's kidnapped me, but I've never had good taste in men. No reason to break that pattern now. Luke: Goth human who can't decide what he wants Kyran: Badass elf trying to save his kingdom Quote: Tomorrow, I will start courting him in ways he cannot even fathom. I wonder if he's ever witnessed an execution before. Vibes: Human abducted by the dark eleven prince to be a source of power in saving his kingdom. Misunderstandings, betrayal, and trust issues abound. Will their forced marriage ever actually happen? Cute bats that may or may not be terrifying. Secret shadow world. You should read if you like: Spice, tall dark and handsome, secrets, isekai humor, confident virgin, irresistible chemistry, court intrigue, violence, unique animals/fauna/monsters.

Spikemoss by an_aphorism #sheith

I read this twice last year. It's Keith whump for sure, but Shiro is there to hold him up through trauma and recovery. Second half is Keith building his life and Shieth getting together.

TW: ARFID but I learned I used to suffer after connecting with Keith.

Folk trilogy by Lily Mayne

A range of feelings here. The grief was too much for me and generally I would skip if I knew ahead of time. Ash isn't the most likeable person, but I love Lonan. I love the themes and what they overcome.

#BookRec #BookReview #BookSky #MMRomance #SpicyRomance
Covers for Folk series by Lily Mayne: Mortal Skin, Forgotten Vows, King of Death. Books include: bittersweet, spice, fate, vows, enemies to lovers, family, emotional, slow burn, mortal, fae, grief. Quote by Lily Mayne from King of Death: My mother once told me that love is not always pleasant. That it doesn't always make you happy. Sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it takes more than it gives. Ash: abducted reckless fated human Lonan: sad misunderstood unseelie assassin prince Quote by Lily Mayne from King of Death: "What you want doesn't matter." The face loomed closer again, and something soft and cold feathered over my cheek, making me flinch violently. "You can't turn back now. Everything will die if you turn back now." Vibes: Human abducted by the fae and seduced by the dark prince. Extremely reckless behavior in the fae courts. Loss, found, loss, and found in order to come back together United. Changing the kingdom. You should read if you like: spice. Enemies to lovers. Tall dark and handsome. Fae customs. Found and blood family. Coming into power. You shouldn't read if you don't like: Very heavy and prolonged grief of a loved one. Slow burn. Repetition of themes/events. Quote by Lily Mayne from Forgotten Vows: I felt the sharp tip of a sword pricking gently into the soft, vulnerable dip under my chin. Lonan's scent surrounded me as he pressed himself against my back. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from groaning when I felt the hard length of him rubbing against me. "Can't shoot me from this close, hunter," he rasped in my ear. I swallowed. "And you can't get me on my back when you're pressed up against it."

91% through Wolfgang by Grae Bryan.

Wolfgang competes for best in the series so far with Lucien. I just love Wolfe. He's so caring and protective and gives Eric the perfect amount of space.

Primal Sin trilogy by Ariana Nash

I love Severn and Mikhail's [eventual] loyalty to each other 😍 The angel/demon world was fun to explore. And in true Ariana Nash fashion, they are repeatedly pulled apart physically and emotionally.

Last SOS Hotel: End of the Road by Adam Vex (Ariana Nash)

Good wrap up to the whole series. Fleshes out the trios relationship and where the world building left off in the original series. Frogs.

Cannot be read standalone this time.

More going on in this one. Learning about the trios magical connection to each other. Fun LARPing.

Shenanigans continue but this time in Gen Z lingo. Making new friends. Making new enemies. Family drama.

I guess you could read standalone if you're into being a tiny bit confused?

Keith/Shiro/Lotor #vld #sheith #kotor

Great getting out of and recovering from abuse fic. The pacing was slow after Keith is in his recovery phase but still a great fic. Shiro and Lotor are enemies to friends but both take care of and love Keith equally.

SOS Hotel by Adam Vex (*cough* Ariana Nash)

If you liked Hazbin Hotel you'll love these books. Shenanigans and murders abound. Each book is paced well to explore a character or reveal a secret without feeling episodic.

Today's rec:
Book 7 in Lily Mayne's Monstrous series, Lor!

This one is a 180 from the rest of the series, pre-apocalypse and political. I loved it, BUT the end (iykyk) is too long for me for a romance. A lot is needed for plot, but I'm not here for grief.

Book 5 of Lily Mayne's Monstrous Series, Moth!

Moth and Charlie are adorable. Moth is so prickly but Charlie takes such good care of him regardless. This book probably has the most adventure in the series. Kudos to Lily Mayne for how different each book is.

Its cool getting to see such a different character. Gloam is more serious than the other monsters, being so smart. I love Rig's dedication to his mystery monster.

Book 3 in Lily Mayne's Monstrous series, The Rycke!

Honestly, I was looking forward to this most, and it's my least favorite. It took too long to start the relationship and I didn't really feel the chemistry? I still give it all the kudos tho and I love the boys!!

Book 2 from The Monstrous series by Lily Mayne, Edin!

We get to meet Wyn's large purple happy friend. And we get to see the world from the pov of the soldiers.

Neither Edin or Hunter are personalities that I'm normally drawn to, BUT I still couldn't put it down. Just as good as The Soul Eater.

The Soul Eater by Lily Mayne

How good this book is: I listen to books in the car, but this one I had to pull my headphones out to listen more often. And the rest of the series I got ebooks so I could read whenever I had a moment.

Soft, spicy, monster romance with some violence 💯
