Amazon Description

Fire burns the worst sins. Trust is overrated. Killing for pleasure is messy, bloody, chaotic... He was supposed to die. But now I have him where I want him, I canโ€™t help but taste him a little. All of them. They've gotten under my skin. These Sacred Heart boys. The way they look at me, a need, a hunger clawing inside, I recognize it in the mirror. Itโ€™s their eyes. They tell me they don't give a fuck if they live or die. That Iโ€™m the prey and they're the carnivores. That they're soulless. But in the end, they all beg. Violent, bloody, and raw. Because Iโ€™m the real monster. They just donโ€™t know it yet. Publisher Note: A History of Violence is a dark RH serial killer bully romance, intended for mature readers, containing material that some may find triggering or offensive.

Amazon Description

I was born with a curse that spun a violent storm around me, seizing every beautiful and fragile thing that flittered into my life, tearing it all from my grasp as effortlessly as the wings of a butterfly are torn from its body. Or so I thought, anyway. It all changed when they came for me, when they dragged me to trial for my crimes. I should have faced execution, but fate is a fickle and funny thing, taunting me with the knowledge that I was always destined to be so much more. They know it: the five great masters who took control of my life, and now fight for control over my soul. He knows it, as well. The golden-eyed warrior whose fate is tied horribly and inexplicably with mine. From the great cliffs to the wide, violent ocean, they shadow my steps. From the perfumed halls to the quiet, dusty rooms, they push my every limit in cruel and unrelenting ways. Because we all knowโ€ฆ There is something evil taking root deep beneath the earth, a horror growing behind every shadow, a disease clawing into our midst, the end of the world as we know it drawing close enough to spot on the horizon. The darkness is coming. And I might be the only one who can stop it. This epic, apocalyptic fantasy is dark, lush and gritty. The heroin has multiple, slow-burn love interests, who all begin as true enemies, so you don't have to choose your favourite anti-hero. This series has some intense and dark themes, and the heroes begin as utterly irredeemable, alpha a-holes, so consider yourselves warned! The first book in this series contains a trigger warning.
Amazon Description

Dean, Ryan, Oz, Nick and Justin โ€” The Apex. Five of the most sought after shifter-familiars in the country. Theyโ€™re already an unconventional pack of their own. A lion, two wolves and two dragons; witches everywhere would have given their right arm to bond them.

Held within the confines of the famed Adolphus Academy, where witches went to learn beast taming magic, their only hope of freedom was to challenge a witch strong enough to defeat their beasts.

Trapped until they are bonded, their future and sanity may just rest in the hands of a newly arrived first year student.

As the strongest witch theyโ€™d seen in generations, Melody had been bound by her Aunt Georgia in their once prestigious coven, forced to bond and break every shifter they could find. Along with them, she was subjected to cruelty and neglect.

Confined in abject misery, enslaved by a madwoman, Melody was unable to even imagine an end to their torture.

Yet fate and her aunt had other plans. At twenty-five, she was just coming into her majority, and Melody would be sent to Adolphus Academy, where she had to find and bond the members of The Apex. If she failed to do so, she would die. If she succeeded โ€” they did.

How could Melody free these men, without enslaving them to another?

Amazon Description

I'm certifiably insane. Just ask my amazing therapist. He's my soulmate and aย vampiric serial killer. There's no one I'd rather stalk more.

Except no more late night slinking for me. I'm in The Asylum, committed as a danger to myself and others. They tell me I'm delusional, which they aren't wrong...except about what.

See, this place is made for supernaturals too dangerous to let roam free. The doctors, the staff, the family members that helped put us here are all in on it, trying to convince us magic is just another delusion. They plan to keep us here forever--sedated and docile.

Aren't we all just perfect test subjects for inhumane experiments? Well, the doctors think so at least.

Yeah... it's time to bust out of the loony bin. Unfortunately for our zookeepers we're the most dangerous supernaturals there are and we haven't been taking our medicine.

A genetically modified super alpha wolf monster. An ultra rare basilisk, so venomous he can't leave any skin exposed. My dreamy serial killing vampire therapist.
Oh, and me. A genetic marvel, one of the few dhamphyr to ever exist and probably, just a little... more crazy than most.

Nighty, night Asylum. Don't let the nightmares bite.

Author Note: Full-length STANDALONE! This is a why choose/reverse harem dark paranormal romance where the female lead does not need to choose between her three male love interests. There are m/m scenes, steam, and mature themes including: violence, language, and etc..

Thoughts from Paige

I've had this book on my list for a while now, ever since it was nominated as one of the Best RH of 2021 here on the site.ย  This may just be my next read, the author packs so much in a single sentence.

"Stalkers weren't supposed to accidentally stalk serial killers and they definitely weren't supposed to abruptly realize they weren't the craziest one in their obsessive relationship." Woah.ย  I learned a crap ton about our FMC from that line alone.

I LOVE when authors assume we can keep up, and don't spell everything out for us.ย  Please keep in mind I've read exactly one page of the first chapter.ย  I couldn't let myself go on because I want to finish the book I started at 4 am today.

Okay I lied, I read to the beginning of the second page too and had to stop at "murder cooler".ย  Seriously, thank you to whoever nominated this book. I've just bumped it up on my TBR list.

Update: I'm going to leave my initial thoughts here. ย It fits this theme request, if my memory serves me correctly.

Amazon Description

Intimidating. Fearless. Destructive.

Theyโ€™re everything a girl shouldnโ€™t want. Too bad this foster girl never had a daddy to chase away the monsters because Iโ€™m a sucker for a bad boy โ€ฆ or four.

Carver, King, Cruz, and Graysonโ€”the Kings of Ravenwood Heights.

When I was forced to come here, I was expecting just another run-down town to add to the ever-growing list of unwanted homes. What I wasnโ€™t expecting was them.

Theyโ€™re dangerous and they're keeping one hell of a secretโ€”a secret that's going to change it all.

Amazon Description

I never claimed to be a good girl, but I definitely never asked for this.

Killian, Tristian, and Rath.

These three men are a part of my past--one that I'd rather never look in the eye again. In high school, they knew my secrets and I knew theirs. They had power and I had nothing. The night everything fell apart, my stepbrother allowed his two best friends to take their rage out on me while he watched. While they laughed.

But what happened that night wasnโ€™t my biggest secret. So I ran, planning on never coming back.

Three years later Iโ€™m standing on their doorstep like a stray. Theyโ€™re more powerful than ever now, having risen to the rank of Lords at Forsyth University. But Iโ€™m still on the run and there's another monster chasing me down.

What could bring me back into their lives, their homes, and ultimately, their beds?

Fear.

Shame.

Desperation.

Killian, Rath, and Tristian arenโ€™t the only ones who want me. Thereโ€™s someone far more dangerous out there who's been stalking me since I left town the first time. Someone who makes the evil I know feel less dangerous than the evil I donโ€™t.

But being their Lady is more than just fancy clothes and reputation.

I might be under their protection, but Iโ€™m also at their mercy.

And there's nothing a Lord loves more than taking control.

WARNING: This book is a DARK/BULLY romance. It contains graphic content of abuse and assault that some readers may be particularly sensitive to. If you have triggers or are even remotely unsure, please heed the note at the beginning of this book.

Amazon Description

As with most beginnings, it started with death. When I had nothing left to lose, I traveled to the hut in the woods; the one no one dared approach. The witch who lived there recognized the darkness in my soul and took me under her wingโ€”to witness her reign of terror firsthand and eventually, to inherit her legacy as my own. Now Iโ€™m the monster they fear; the one humans avoid at all costs. In this welcome isolation, I've attempted to forget my past and the future that was taken from me. Until three men appear, somehow able to break through my protective wards and see me in my true form. While resistant to their intrusion, I recognize they may be the ones Iโ€™ve been waiting forโ€”the ones I need to ascend to my full power. Too bad I would rather grind their bones than invite them in. But something is mysteriously devouring the forest, and I suspect the threat may be the same one I barely escaped many moons ago. If it is, he will find me a more worthy opponent than the last time we met. I am the Yaga and I may be broken, but my edges are sharp. -- The Yagaโ€™s Riders is based on the folklore of Baba Yaga, with creative liberties taken.

Itโ€™s a common story. Iโ€™m sure you can guess how it goes.

Girl winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
She witnesses four gods of beauty and brutality murder some poor sap, and sheโ€™s stupid enough to get caught.

Come on. You know what happens next.

You know they tracked herโ€ฆ meโ€ฆ down.
I donโ€™t need to tell you that they claimed me. Ripped me from my safe, perfect world and bound me in chains to their throne.
All of that is obvious.

Itโ€™s the part where they corrupted me, dragged me into their world of death and destruction, made me theirs in every way I didnโ€™t know was possible, and I became a soldier in a war that will bring all of Cinco City to its kneesโ€ฆ

โ€ฆthatโ€™s when it gets interesting.

Kora ran away to start a new life where she was in control of her own destiny and her own body. Instead, she was captured and auctioned to the highest bidders: Three former mercenaries with black hearts.

Mace is their leader; ruthless and unforgiving. Kade lives in the shadows and, if his growls are anything to go by, may not be a man at all. The third one, Lucian, seems to delight only in wine and tormenting their new possession until she breaks ... and she might. Kora wasnโ€™t a slave before and she must keep that secret at all costs. If they learn who she is, sheโ€™ll be forced to marry a man who scares her far more than her harsh masters.

Can she escape these three dangerous Brothers who have begun to show her that there is more to them than their tragic pasts? And if they find out her secrets, can she trust them not to throw her to the wolves?
