Come Read with Me

  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...

  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...

  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...

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...

  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...

  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...

  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 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...

 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 ...

  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...

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...

Im at 5:23 and chapter 10 Tatum is getting her sweet revenge! She has her list and is crossing things off her list. She does have more of a heart than the boys appear to though... Nash became a Night Keeper. Im not sure how this is going to work yet because hes a teacher. Of course he has all of the Orian (ZA) vibes but with more self esteem and a bit less than an a$$. .... now I know these are supposed to be teenagers.... but that's not how I pictured them. I think of them as more 20 -25 years old with a more mature brain and able to make their own decisions. More like college kids.... so the whole age thing is just something I dont pay attention to. But I know some readers dont like the age issues. But this is a fantasy world and society rules are not the same... Tatum is getting her revenge on the boys while also getting closer to Nash. He tells her his background story and it was so sad! I had to stop what I was doing and just listen to his story. Can totally understand why...

  Come read with me Im on page 641, in the middle of chapter 28 in Fairydale (these chapters are long) We're getting all the answers. . . . Im glad that we were seeing the truth through Elizabeth/Darcys eyes. It makes the heartbreak so much worse because Amon is cast as such a bad guy. When all he wanted is to be with his soul mate. Sela, Elizabeth and Darcy are all innocent, all being brainwashed and all rescued by Amon. Sela and Elizabeth has evil mother's. Darcy lost her mother, but it seems the father would have been the evil one, but she was saved from that. It is like Persephone/Hades mythology. (and also Amun/Met... I think). Especially with Amun losing his eyes and his monster form. Amon is accepting of everything Sela is and she is so innocent he can show her his world. But I love how she can be innocent but also strong. Sela has amazing power and everyone wants her for her power but Amon just wants to support her. The fated Mate mythology and instant love and ...

  #comereadwithme Im on page 507, Chapter 25 of #Fairydale Things are all coming together! I have about 3/4 of the answers and know what is happening. Its also getting spicy. I would say 🌶🌶🌶 From the warnings and some hints earlier in the book, I thought it would be spicier, but Im not done the book yet. I need to keep reading! Find out what is happening and get the answers to see who is telling you the truth. Now for the spoilers . . . . Yes! I was right that Amon and Darcy's Caleb are the same person. And Mr Meow. And that her Caleb wasn't her second cousin. She doesn't have to choose! Lydia, her daughter knowing what will happen and trying to guide events! 💔 Amon and Darcy's original spirit were some kind of gods or other beings. Still not ruling out vampires, but probably more Egyption gods (Amun and Mut, Im not that knowledgeable about Egyptian gods, but I did recently read a series with some of the same gods The Echo Trilogy by Lindsay Sparks https...

  #comereadwithme I'm at 3hrs and 56 min (chapter 8) of #kingsoflockdown The Kings of Lockdown is the second book of Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep and in the world of United States of Anarchy The first book is Kings of Quarantine. This is my review https://artemisthereader.blogspot.com/2026/06/kings-of-quarantine-review.html?m=1 ... This review is not really any spoiler, most of this is in the title description... . . . The Kings are in the aftermath of the school invasion and Tatum may be sick. Saint is off his routine, Blake is realizing hating Tatum isn't helping his grief and Kyan just wants her. They are realizing that she owns them as much as they own her. And they dont all like it. And then there is Mr Monroe/Nash. He fought for the school, and for Tatum and tied himself to the Kings. You are also getting some hints of behind the curtain of the boys. You know Blake's mother died, and Nash need revenge. But you learn Saint's issues of control and Kians sel...

Answers are slowly coming... but are they the right answers? They are different from what Darcy has experienced and feels Spoilers if you keep reading . . . . . There was a period of time I thought they were vampires and Hales were the same as the Creeds and the plague was from vampires. But now we have more information. Rhiannon gave one story, Amon is a demon and killed Elizabeth. But that is not what Darcy really thinks happens. She goes to Mr Nicholson, her grandfather and he tells her the same story. But she gets a glimpse of a different life of her and Amon together in ancient Rome. And Caleb teases and flirts and says all the right things. But he paints her body and experiences. So he knew her in a past life as well. He leaves her for days and then proposes and Darcy says yes. *Amon is a demon according to the witches. But is he? I think they are both some kind of god and goddess (greek gods)? Her spirit cursed somehow by the 6 witch families and they all know her pa...

 Read with me Find Fairydale on Amazon at https://a.co/d/05b6ienM It will be spoiler free (no plot info beyond what you read from the back) But I'm going to share my theories at the end Still trying to figure out what exactly is happening. You have Darcy in 1955 in Massachusetts, she is in Fairydale and weird things are happening to her and in the town. She may have found someone who can help her, a man in town (Caleb) but she's not sure who to trust and if she is imagining things or not. Darcy is also dreaming of Elizabeth in 1789 in Kent. The dreams are so life like and seem so real. There is also a Man who Elizabeth wants to trust (Amon) but is warned against. Some weird things happen around him too. I have some theories to some questions. May or may not have spoilers. And I might be completely off base . . . . . . . *Who is Elizabeth and Darcy to each other? Are they the same person? Past lives and same soul. Maybe Elizabeth is a relative. Elizabeth's m...
