LORI REVIEWS BULLSEYE.....BY MONICA JAMES

I am amazed at the talent of Monica James. She went from writing a spiritual, almost ethereal novel in Chase The Butterflies, to the dark, raw story she tells in Bullseye. Both stories had my jaw dropping. Clearly in different ways.

I was sucked in from the start of Bullseye and I couldn’t stop reading. If you’re looking for an insta love story this isn’t it. It’s unique, it’s relentless and you won’t be able to put it down. Bullseye starts in a dark place and just keeps getting darker.

Bull has been damaged by a tragic event that happened when he was fifteen years old. He’s spent most of his years after that tragedy planning revenge on the people that caused him such pain. His only goal from the beginning is vengeance.

Bull makes no apologies for who he is. He’s not the knight in shining armor, he’s no ones savior. In his head he’s the bag guy with zero redeeming qualities.

Until he meets Tiger Lily, and two other women that see more in Bull than he sees in himself. But remember, I told you it’s not an insta love story, it’s an electric crackling jolt of insta animal attraction.

Tiger Lily is a spitfire who aspires to be a dancer. She’s never had an easy life, but she did have someone who loved and took care of her until he left.

Bull makes it clear he has no feelings (like legitimately none at all) and he’s no ones White Night. Lily sees something good in Bull and the two of them become involved in each other’s lives. When they finally give in to their feelings it’s carnal and raw and hot af.

Lily makes Bull feel less dead inside. Just when you think things are looking good for Bull and Lily, the plot twists and you will not be able to believe your eyes when you see what comes next. It's a knock you off your feet kind of twist.

Bullseye ends with a jaw dropping cliff hanger. Needless to say I can’t wait to get my hands on the continuation of the drama that’s on its way.

Another 5 star read from Monica James. Her talent and her unique storytelling ability will keep you coming back for more.

COVER REVEAL!!! NIGHTFALL.....BY NIGHTFALL

Nightfall - CR banner.jpg

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas comes the thrilling, final installment in the Devil’s Night series…

Nightfall-FOR-WEB.jpg


EMORY

They call it Blackchurch. A secluded mansion in a remote, undisclosed location where the wealthy and powerful send their misbehaving sons to cool off away from prying eyes.
Will Grayson has always been an animal, though. Reckless, wild, and someone who was never bound by a single rule other than to do exactly what he wanted. There was no way his grandfather was going to risk him humiliating the family again.
Not that the last time was entirely his fault. He might’ve enjoyed backing me into corners in high school when no one was looking, so they wouldn’t catch on that Mr. Popular actually wanted a piece of that quiet, little nerd he loved to torture so much, but…
He could also be warm. And fierce in keeping me safe.
The truth is… He has a right to hate me.
It’s all my fault. Everything.
Devils Night. The videos. The arrests.
I’m to blame for all of it.
And I regret nothing.

WILL

I never minded being locked up. I learned a long time ago that being treated like an animal gives you permission to act like one. No one has ever looked at me any other way.
Their only mistake is believing anything I do is an accident. I can sit in this house with no Internet, television, liquor, or girls, but I’ll come out of here with something far more frightening to my enemies.
A plan.
And a new pack of wolves.
I just didn’t expect one of my enemies to come to me.
I don’t know who smuggled her in or if they meant to leave her here, but I can smell her hiding in the house. She’s here.
And as the security detail leaves the supplies, the gates close, and the door to my gilded cage opens, giving me free reign of the house and grounds for another unsupervised month, I remember with a smile…
Blackchurch houses five prisoners. I’m only one of her problems.

*Nightfall, Devil’s Night #4, is a full-length, romantic suspense suitable for readers 18+. It’s necessary to read the prior installments in the series before starting this story.

REVIEW TIME!!!! ANGRY GOD.....BY LJ SHEN

I spent most of yesterday off social media. When I saw Angry God by LJ Shen was finally live, I one clicked and couldn't stop reading. It's not unusual for me to finish a book in one day. What is unusual is that I completely ignored my family because I couldn't put it down.

During this time I wasn't absolutely wrecked in the best way by a book. A book about a boy and a girl who knew each other for a really long time and challenged each other every single chance they got. 

I'll admit, when we first knew Angry God  was coming, I was absolutely Team Lenora. Then toward the time of the cover release I was Team Poppy for a millisecond. I thought maybe someone as sweet as Poppy could light up Vaughn's darkness. As I read the story, I knew Lenora was only ever going to be Vaughn's person. It couldn't possibly be anyone else.

They are two strong characters. Both of them are broken and that's where the darkness comes from. When they are together, the electricity crackles so strongly, you can feel it through the pages.

When Vaughn and Lenora have to spend senior year together at All Saints High, you're not sure if they're going to kill each other or devour each other. Side note, Vaughn and Lenora make biting and a good make session super hot. They also know how to torment each other and push each others buttons.

We knew Vaughn was dark from Pretty Wreckless. He was cold and didn't really care about anything or anyone. In Angry God we learn the reason Vaughn is this dark, mysterious person. As his story unfolded, I felt actual pain in my heart for this young boy.

The story unfolds and an incredible tale of  deceit and vengeance is weaved. Leigh put this story together perfectly and I was enthralled by not only the characters, but the story as well. 

Let's talk for a minute about how much I love the Spencer family. Emilia and Vicious love there son fiercely. But why would that surprise anyone? We watched the love between Emilia and Vic so of course their son would fit into that bubble. What I didn't realize at first is how fiercely Vaughn loved his parents. They are a family that would do anything to protect each other.

I haven't read very many books that I would like to give more than 5 stars for, but Angry God deserves all they stars for making a beautiful story come out of such darkness.

Excerpt


Her little nose scrunches. “Don’t be a dick.”
“Don’t ask questions you know the answer to.” I shrug. “Why would couples stand off to the side or walk away from groups and shit like that?”
 She purses her lips, giving a sassy, “Privacy.”
“Exactly.” I shift her more, so they can’t see my face. “Right now, at least half of them are staring right at us, each one thinking something along the lines of how bad you must need me, or how hard I must be for you, if we have to take a few extra minutes to ourselves before we can even consider sitting through a dinner with the rest of them.”
She attempts to glance over her shoulder, so I shoot my hand up, catching her chin before she can, my fingers spreading along her jaw and neck in the same move.
Damn if she doesn’t even flinch. 
I continue. “The girls are wondering what filthy things I’m promising to do to you later when you come to my room, you are coming to my room by the way.” Her eyes narrow, but it’s playful as hell. “The guys are wondering if you’re biting into your bottom lip, if your eyes are growing darker, and wishing they knew what that looked like, knowing they’ll never get the chance now that you’re mine.”
 “Wow,” she teases, purposefully breathy. “You really think you’ve got this whole prepped and ready thing down.”  
A laugh escapes me before I can squash it, and I tug her a little closer. 
She stares a long moment. “So, I’m challenged with convincing everyone your mood swings turn me on?”
“And I get to be the possessive boyfriend who doesn’t want you outta arm’s reach.”
“Get to?” She smashes her lips to the side, tryin’ real hard not to let her grin slip.
“Get. To. D.”
“What makes you think possessive is what I’d like?” 
A light chuckle leaves me, and I lick my lips, leaning into her as I slowly slide my arms down. When she doesn’t budge, my palms slip a little lower, now resting just below her waist, my pinkies propped on her ass cheeks.
She inhales, waiting.
“Demi,” I whisper. “I tell you right now, the last thing you want is a pussy ass dude who won’t push you. You’re too smart, too independent for a doormat of a guy, and too strong to ever be one yourself. You’ll take charge... but you’ll like it more when I do.”
