Barnes & NobleThe only thing worse than fearing a monster is falling for oneโฆ
Kierse McKenna just shattered the Monster Treaty. Again.
It wasnโt entirely her fault. The job was supposed to be simple: steal a goblin-made bracelet off of the Queen of the Nymphs in her own palace. Trade the bracelet for a way to uncover the truth about her past. Except everything goes sideways.
And then he shows up to save her.
Gravesโthe warlock who ensnared her, betrayed her, and left her to fend for herself. Heโs a villain. A monster draped in charm and shadows. And gods help her, he always knows exactly what she wants.
But Graves never does anything for free. He has a job for his favorite little thief. One that will pit her against the most powerful monsters in existence, including his mortal enemy, the Oak King.
An ancient artifact has been located, and only together can they hope to steal it. She just has to let him in.
But once she lets a monster in, heโs impossible to forgetโฆand even harder to resist.

Barnes & NobleAbout fifteen years ago, a friend of mine showed up at my house with a DVD in hand. (Stay with meโI promise this story relates to this utterly unhinged book filled with basilisk banging.) The movie in question: Gentlemen Broncos. And if youโve seen this cinematic fever dream, you probably know where Iโm going with this. If you havenโtโadd it to your watch listโyou can thank me later. For the record, I watched all 90 Yeast-Lord-filled minutes of Gentlemen Broncos. I didnโt fall asleep. I didnโt pause to pee. Iโm not entirely sure I blinkedโor breathed. I was utterly […]

Format: Kindle (419 Pages) ๐
PurchasedAdd to GoodreadsBuy on AmazonWhile I loved this book equally as much as Divine Rivals, it was very different. The story was less Winnow/Kitt romance, & more Dacre/Enva war story. Roman & Iris spent much of the book apart. Roman acting as Dacreโs war correspondent; Iris trying to find him. Making contact through wardrobe letters, slowly reconnecting, gaining trust; trying to get Roman to remember. Roman falling in love with Iris all over again, regaining his memory & then ultimately having to stay apart so they could work together to end the war. The few precious moments they had together were electric, […]
