Fundamentals of Being a Good Girl by Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone (ARC Review)

New to town and freshly single, rookie lecturer Maddie isn’t looking for trouble … until she ends up in bed with Bram – a sexy, grumpy single dad – on her first night. The catch?

One Killer Night by Trilina Pucci (ARC Review)

It’s Halloween night, and out-of-work writer Goldie Monroe’s trip to the drugstore scares up more than the fake blood she’s looking for. It leads to the man of her naughtiest dreams.

He’s there for candy, but…… Read More One Killer Night by Trilina Pucci (ARC Review)

The Hellebore Technical Institute for the Gifted is the premier academy for the dangerously powerful: the Anti-Christs and Ragnaroks, the world-eaters and apocalypse-makers.
