Kings of Anarchy chapter 5-7

Image
Come read with me, Im at 3hr 38 min Tatum is finally accepting the Kings and that they might mean something to her. While also worried about what will happen  when school ends. But she is seeing each King in a unique light they wont show anyone else. Kyan is ...a dark angel with no god. A vigilante who answered blood with blood. But the problem was, he punished himself too. Each of the Kings she needs and feels and uses a different way. (They came ) for me in my most desperate moment of need. But it was so strange to feel that way about them after everything. I just couldn’t shake it off. Kyan she uses him to hide away from her pain I wanted to disappear into him [Kyan] and forget my pain time and again. Blake fills her with light Blake’s kisses always felt like our souls were bleeding into one another, becoming one, beautiful blazing entity that filled me up to the brim. Saint takes her control and giver her freedom And I immediately felt the shackles of my mind relea...

The Love Hypothesis

Image
 Book Review! The Love hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood is a rom-com in academia between 2 mostly anti-social scientists 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟   ðŸŒ¶ðŸŒ¶ðŸŒ¶ This was a fun book with lots of banter. Its a feel-good story that was quick to read. It had me laughing in the first chapter It even had a bit of spice, but that was not the point of the book in any way. Even the science was enjoyable and learning about the struggled of  academia

Kings of Anarchy Chapter 4-5

Image
  Come listen with me... I'm at Chapter 6, 2 hours and 27 minutes. Yes Saint was a lousy patient. Hit by a car and shot and then tries pushing weights? Tries to get back to norm "All of this makes me feel so fucking...mortal" But Tatum is there with him. Everything looks like it's changed... for now. I wish it magically changed everything... but we are at the beginning of book 3 and I know there isn't a HEA until the very end! Tatum caring for Saint because she ... cares... or because she owes him for trying to save her. The man had nearly died to save me after all . Tatum just knows what her Kings need. You dont learn that level of detail without a reason, and it's not revenge anymore. "What's the time?" he demanded, panic in his eyes. I glanced at the clock behind me on the nightstand and frowned as I saw it was three minutes to nine. "Nine am," I said immediately. "Liar," he hissed, trying to crane his neck to look at...

Court of Ice and Ash... Review

Image
 Book Review This was the second of the Broken Kingdoms book, the North Kingdom  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶🌶 It was more original than the first book. But still some aspects of Blood and Ash storyline.  This book is about building up the rebels and the raising kingdom. Legion/Valen struggles against what he wants and Elise holds the faith. Ari the new proclaimed King is ruthless! But also kinda sweet and funny. And they get a whole new crew to their inner circle!  The next book will complete the trilogy of the Northern kingdom. I'm thinking that we are meeting some of the characters for future books.

Curse of Shadows and Thorns ... Review

 So I started this series.  I didn't know that much about it, but it was on my recommended list. ... spoilers below if you've never read Blood and Ash or  this book It is the exact same story as Blood and Ash (the first book). The purpose of the MMC is different. But the rest is the... exact... same... It is the exact same story as Blood and Ash (the first book). The purpose of the MMC is different. But the rest is the... exact... same... • They meet in a bar that she sneaks out with her family • He is good looking and everyone wants to be with him • He has 2 friends that seem to know more than it appears • She is naive and sheltered, but asks questions about why things are the way they are • She has 2 people close to her  • She learns to fight and runs out during an attack to fight • The MMC is her protector and becomes close to the king • There is a history where one group are evil and are also the past leaders • MFC is injured by an evil being who never l...

Kings of Anarchy Chapter 1-4

Image
  Come listen with me, I'm halfway through chapter 4, 1 hour First if all.... YES! Kyan kissed Tatum! What a start to the next book! I couldn't wait and had to go right into it and see if they rescued her. But of course she rescued herself. It wasn't a question. Tatum the Queen of Death. Covered in the blood of her enemies. And of course! That is when Kyan first kissed her. No hesitation! She had taken ownership of my twisted, fucked up being and I would willingly dive into hellfire and beyond at her command, just to make her happy. When they get back to everyone. And Saint! Saint who threw himself at a car and got shot trying to get to Tatum. Monroe falls on his knees. And really declares himself to them all. Blake has a bit of a moment, that they all have at one time. She'd sworn herself to all of us and just because I was giving myself to her alone, didn't mean she'd be doing the same . They have all thought "my girl" at one time and check...

Kings of Lockdown .... Chapter 23-27

Image
  Come listen with me, Im at Chapter 28, 18hrs and 14 min Im disappointed in who the stalker is. It is too easy. I think hes being set up by someone (?Kyans family), if so I feel bad for Toby. The different things that the stalker did just dont seem to match, it seemed there was an aggressive part (the threats) and the in-love with parts (the love notes) and the creepy part (photos and stealing underwear). I thought Toby had competed in the "wiping trials" during the Night keeper party, but I went back and they didnt mention him. But it certainly brought the hunter out in the NightKeepers. We find out about Kyans family. Irish mafia and why he was so worried about what the Kings would think of him. He needs to escape them! He's way too good for them. Kyan found out about the list. And of course is good with the revenge, and even let's her get back for the bathtub (which again... he was the one to stop it, just like they storm) "And I’m not even sorry for the v...

Woven by Gold... chapter 7-29

Image
Come read with me , page 187 I thought you would keep me safe This broke the strongest amd most aloof Prince. Ezryn realizes that he abandoned her. That they all abandoned her. They were told she left and they didnt even question Kel, and fell apart when she was gone. The same way they fell apart and abandoned the realms. Dayton drank, Ezryn ran and Farron faded. Keldarion hid. But the Princes fight for Rosalina. They have something to fight for. They fight Kel, their brother. They dont win. But they fight for her. They almost get to her too late too. And they need to bring Lucas back with them. She is way to kind to him, but does it to protect Farron. They find out she is Keldarion's mate, and that he knew it from the first time. And it's just another way he is taking control and lying to everyone. He is fighting so hard to keep her away. He thinks hes helping but lying to someone's face to protect them, is lying first.  You are just protecting yourself. Now the o...

Prince of the Arena

Image
Come read with me, I finished Prince of the Area ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and 🌶🌶🌶 This is a little novella, a Prequel, but also recommended to read after book 1, and came out after book 4. Its the start of the love story between Dayton and Farron. The mistaken identity was really cute and let 2 Princes be everyday people for one night. And so they fell in love as everyday people, not Prince and consort. it wasn’t Farron running around Hadria. It was Fare. Fare, with no expectations, no responsibilities, no impending doom of ruling a realm. Of course, Fare is likable. Of course, Fare is fun. It gives alot of background of their issues and love. Also helps explaining more of why they were cursed as High Princes of the Realm. Innocent, innocent Farron. And it’s not just the s3x which is, admittedly, my new favorite hobby, even beating out my old favorite: cross-stitching Dayton is not innocent, but at the same time very emotionally immature. Afraid to feel anything or be anyone important. Whe...

Woven by Gold.. chapter 1-7

Image
  The books end on cliff hangers... so I have to keep going! Come read with me, I'm on Chapter 7 Keldarion banishes Rosalina, and the other Princes dont come for her. My heart aches at how that makes her feel. And months have gone by! She put her heart and soul into helping them with their curse, being with them every day and giving them a ball to find their mates and she dissappear and no one says a word. Not even Prince who spoke in her head. Now Rosalina has lost her confidence to talk back to Lucas, but also gained her confidence by not caring what the town thinks (you go Rosalina! They never deserved you!) “ I don’t understand why I can’t do the same thing now [fighting]. Why can’t I tell him to leave?" “Because you are afraid.... your heart knows what to fear and what is safe. And it’s hard to see a monster when he’s proclaimed a hero.” And she's so happy when she can get through to Ezryn (knight in shining armour) “Ezryn.” His name on my lips is the only thing...

Bonded by Thorns... finished

  Come read with me... I finished the book I cant put these down and just devour the story!  Its emotional and fast moving and I feel for Rosalina. She is fitting in with the Princes, who keep holding back from her. Especially Kel. But the scariest thing of all is the more time I spend here, the less I feel like a prisoner and more like another member of the household, desperate to break this curse . And as she's getting more comfortable and confident, can see them with their flaws. Every day, I am less and less surprised these idiots have not broken the curse. She promised to help them find their mates and struggled alot with the dance/ball. The people of Winter were not inviting to her and seem very biased, to both her and their prince. But considering hes been hiding for 25 years it's not surprising. He trusts the person who he left behind.... Who also tries to get rid of Rosalina... until her actual knight in shining armour saves her. And then Cassian comes. He jus...

Bonded by thorns... chapter 1-32

Image
  Come read with me The Princes are  cursed and we are looking for their mates “ The other half of your soul... Born from the same star. Someone your whole being calls to.” (There is so much character art on Pinterest)  Rosalina is spending time with Farron, shy innocent Farron who is in love with Dayton. And if they find their mates, they won't be together. So they deny each other now. But strangely enough dont have jealousy when they think about Rosalina. She's charmed them both with her heart and innocence And one day, you’re the same blood-seeking monster but a human woman walks into the dungeon determined to free you from yourself. And despite trying to tear her face off…she forgives you. Ezryn is scary and she's not really sure what to think at first. He's the scary knight. But I think he is actually falling harder for her than the others “ Brave is trading your freedom for your father’s. Brave is allowing yourself to be imprisoned in a world you know nothin...

Come read Beasts of the Briar

Image
  Come read with me. Im going to do a re-read of the Beasts of the Briar. I got to book 4 (broken by daylights) and then the cliff hanger! But wanted to get closer to the completed series (Oct 20) before starting again. Book 6 comes out next month so I thought it was a good time for a re-read This is a why-choose, Beauty and the Beast retelling... with fae seasonal princes (Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall). Im on Chapter 20. The chapters are quick and short and so far it's mostly the traditional-ish Beauty and the Beast storyline. Rosalina is a book loving human with a really, really awful kinda-boyfriend who just says hes going to marry her. Her father is the town crazy archeologist who says his wife was kidnapped by fairies. He comes across a castle in a briar and goes there for help and is thrown in prison. Rosalina trades herself for him and now she's a prisoner of the Fae prince. There are actually 4 fae princes... and they turned into beasts. The princes are all dif...

Kings of Lockdown... Chapter 22-25

Image
 Im in the middle of chapter 25, 15:50 Chapter 23 ended with the stalker showing some of their hand. Im not sure who it is yet. But Im sticking with my  previous guesses. Maybe Kyans family put them up to it? We've learned more about the unspeakables and their actual crimes (I thought maybe with Deep/throat that maybe the unspeakables were punished for crimes, but they seemed so pathetic). How can you think there were actual crimes when Tatum was punished for something she didnt do. Its just a reminder the bad people know how to manipulate and pretend they arent bad And now some Kyan-love. If Blake is a teddy bear, Kyan is the Rottweiler that will fight and attack others but also cuddles and is ridiculous with his family. We learned more about Kyans story and my heart is aching! His family is Irish mafia-style evil .... I think Kyan should have been on the cover of this story instead of Monroe for this book... Kyan is so hopeless and so afraid to share. He wants love and ...

Kings of Lockdown... chapter 19-22

Image
  Come listen with me Im at Chapter 23, 14:17 Tatum is getting closer and closer to her revenge list. The blue balls she gives to boys! I thought those would replace the sex tape.... but apparently not. I think it is good revenge for enjoying the idea of the sex tape and the revenge. But she keeps crossing off the list. But I think it's getting harder to do it. More that she has to do it to feel true to herself than she wants to do it. The fun revenge parts, yes are true to her revenge. But when she gets evil.... The fish stew (fun) the humiliation afterwards (evil) The ice in bed (fun) The gun in bed (evil.... but also safe). And Blake needs the evil to repent The pepper spray (not evil) Locking out in the rain (fun... but also they got off lightly for that one) The drunk scene with Blake and Kian and Sin taking control 🔥 🥵 Even Sins punishment (consequences)  wasn't horrible and Tatum is very in-tune with what each of them needs. Monroe is still the anomaly unti...

Kings of Lockdown... Chapter 11-19+

Image
  Come listen with me, the middle chapter 19, 12hrs 12 min. Tatum and her pranks/revenge list are hillarious! OMG the cornsyrup and tampons! That was hillarious. And waking Kyan up with vodka. She's showing her cheek and her sense of humor. Even the iced crotch of Blake and the fish stew (without the words) were perfect revenge. And the boys fight it, but I dont think they hate it as much as they think they do. Kyan and Tatum. The heat between these 2! And they are both so stubborn. He keeps telling her his truths and then ruins it all again. “ So if you’re looking for someone to save, then you’re looking in the wrong place with me.” “I’m not looking for someone to save, Kyan,” I think he is the one who did the least to her, but is the one she feels safest with to get back at. I wasn’t frightened of him. I wanted to see how far I could push him before he snapped. (These are AI created images of what I picture) Blake is sweet right now. A big teddy bear who tries to keep...

Kings of Lockdown... Chapter 9-11

Chapter 11, which is 6hrs 11 min Oh Kian... “ You’re everything and I’m nothing. And the worst thing about that is…you know it" He's such a hurt little boy. And they just need to get over their crapp. He humiliated her as part of the Kings group, but she humiliated him as an individual. She got upset and jealous and interrupted things because she was upset. I hope she comes around soon And Blake! Trying to get over his grief Thinking It made me wonder if I hadn’t totally screwed everything up with her. Because surely if she still gave a shit about me after everything, then there was hope. "Im yours too" They are almost trying to redeem themselves And they are starting to recognize that she is their weakness, and they won't let her go She is always very honest with then that she's going to run as soon as she can. She gets back at Saint and things explode. Burning his records and he FLIPS! Blake and Kyan actually stand up for her. Making her thiers m...
