Don’t be scared by AJ Merlin
3 Stars
Bailey has always celebrated Halloween with the rest
of the town but this year it’s different. There are people being murdered she
has a close connection with. They are the ones responsible for the death of her
best friend and no one ever was punished for it. Now someone is making them all
pay but will they hold her responsible too?
This was an interesting trouple. I love the idea of
the book and mostly how it played out. There were issues with the plot and so
many questions still unanswered. One of the big ones is Bailey’s parents didn’t
question anything or keep her close when people are dying. Like ok. Also MMC
parents are mentioned but not used even though it was their daughter that died
and someone is getting revenge for. Also how did the guys meet and end up
together. Lots of questions so it was ok. If you like a darker story based on
revenge with some interesting smexy times give it a shot.

Bad Prince by Lilian Monroe
2.5 Stars
Prince Charlie must select a bride, or his father will.
To help him a ball is given where he meets the woman of his dreams, Elle. The problem
she’s not exactly who the King would be happy with his son bring homing. Since
he can’t be with her in the open, he will meet her in secret until he comes up with
a plan to keep her forever. However, the king has his own plans and forces
Charlie’s hand into marrying someone else. Will he find a way to be with her?
How was she not furious with him that he abandoned
her when she was pregnant to marry someone else?!?!?!? Then he finally is able
to come back, and he proposes right before she is due, and all is forgiven. She
spent months alone and she doesn’t even hesitate to take him back. I was so
disappointed. It wasn’t bad until this point in the book. It had a good pace
with a lot of smexy time. I wanted more world building and more info on the
prince’s family and FMC history. Overall, it was ok but needed work.

Daughter of Persephone by Helen Scott
2.5 Stars
Poppy is just trying to live her life, barely making
ends meet but doing the best she can. A strange necklace shows up and her life
changes. She’s mated to some hell hounds and needs to track down the rest of
her fated mates if she chooses to continue down the path to become a goddess.
I wanted to like this more than I did. It felt like
the beginning of a story and not a complete in anyway book. I looked at the
rest and there are 3 more books and $3 each so total would be $9 for a complete
story. That’s not horrible but also with how much the first book was lacking I
am not interested in investing in another book. It also doesn’t help that the
description of the books are almost identical which leads me to believe the plot
doesn’t move fast. If someone else wants to give it a shot and let me know if
they are worth it.

Knotty New Year by Merri Bright
4 Stars
Candy just wants to live her life to the best, but
her designation means other people get to tell her what to do and when to do
it. When she and her friends start a business to be betasitters she feels like she’s
finally taking her life into her own hands. Her first job is for a billionaire who
happens to be her fated mate and they end up snowed in. He’s grumpy and wants
nothing to do with her until her heat hits. When it’s done Nicholas walks away
thinking he’s giving her the choices she wants but instead hurts her. When he
finally realizes his error can he fix things with her without more problems?
Spicy Snowed in, age, gap, omegaverse book that’s
worth reading. Nicholas is an ass through most of the book but he pulls out a
super sweet move to win her over just to royally fuck it all up. He sort of
makes up for the later mess but not really for the issues he caused. I loved
Candy and all her friends. I also loved Nicholas’ siblings. The siblings are
all so welcoming to her and want to take care of her all while bashing their
brother. I kind of want more books with all of them. Can’t wait for the next
book.
