My Review 

“Lovely Bad Things” is a masterfully crafted crime thriller that blends elements of psychological suspense, philosophical musings, and a touch of dark romance. This book takes us on a wild ride through the eerie town of Hollow’s Row, where the line between sanity and madness is hauntingly thin.

The story revolves around Halen, a crime scene investigative criminologist with a knack for solving bizarre cases, and Kallum, the enigmatic bad-boy philosopher whom she once accused of morbid, ritualistic murders. When Halen is called to investigate a gruesome act of violence in Hollow’s Row, she has no choice but to seek help from Kallum, the very man she had locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane. Their paths intertwine once again, and Halen is determined to solve the case, even if it means making a deal with the devil himself.

The scenes are brutal and intriguing in the best way possible. Each crime scene is meticulously described, drawing us into the dark and twisted world of Hollow’s Row. The involvement of secret societies and philosophers adds a layer of intrigue to the narrative, making it a thought-provoking read without overwhelming the reader with unnecessary details.

The chemistry between the main characters, Halen and Kallum, is toxic, slow-burning, and wickedly captivating. Their interactions are charged with tension and a palpable sense of danger, making every scene they share a highlight of the book. Their methods are unorthodox, yet following their journey gives the story an addictive tone.

The disappearance of the residents of Hollow’s Row, combined with the ritualistic displays, creates an atmosphere of suspense that keeps us on the edge of our seats. The book’s ending is nothing short of brilliant, leaving our heads spinning and eager for more. It’s clear that this is only the beginning of a thrilling series, and I, for one, cannot wait to dive into the next installment.

In conclusion, “Lovely Bad Things” is a book that will haunt our thoughts long after we’ve turned the last page. The intriguing plot, complex characters, and unique tone make it a standout in the genre. If you’re looking for a book that combines mystery, philosophy, and dark romance in a truly unique way, this is the one for you.

Sicko by Amo Jones

  Before I dive into this review, a word of caution: Sicko is not for the faint of heart. It's gritty, brutal, and mentally taxing, so be mindful of your triggers before picking it up. Sicko is a double POV, but the majority of the story unfolds through the eyes of Jade, our FMC. And what a journey it is. Jade's life? Unfair doesn’t even begin to cover it. From the moment she was abandoned by her birth parents, adopted into a wealthy family, and then inseparable from her adoptive brother, Royce—until he disappears—her life is a rollercoaster of emotions, highs, and extreme lows. What starts off bad, quickly enough turns to an absolute nightmare. And just when she’s trying to move on, Royce reappears, and with him, even more chaos. I have to say, I was glued to the pages from start to finish. Jade’s path is bloody, brutal, and filled with secrets that unravel in the most agonizing way. There were moments where I had knots in my stomach, tears in my eyes, and honestly, I needed ...

Deviant King / RinaVerse #2 / Royal Elite #1

 This book dives headfirst into the unhinged mind of Aiden King—a man with zero boundaries, no sense of morality, and a possessiveness that is downright terrifying. It’s the kind of dark academia romance that will have you questioning your own sanity for enjoying it—and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m here for every crazy minute of it. Aiden King is everything you’d expect from a dark romance anti-hero. He’s arrogant, dangerous, and a complete psychopath hiding behind the perfect mask of a star football player. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself, and he makes that clear from the get-go. Aiden’s possessiveness is toxic and more often than not, far from charming—he’s the kind of guy that, if you met in real life, you’d probably want to avoid at all costs. Those grey eyes would be enough to make me want to play dead if I ever crossed his path. Try run, and he’ll chase. But in the safety of the pages? I couldn’t get enough of his twisted mind. Or maybe I just need therapy. Aide...
