REVIEW

Title: ECSTASY Author: KV Rose Series: Standalone Characters: Alex, Zara and Eli Authors note⬇️ This is not a relationship guide. This is not a recovery manual. This is not a handbook on mental health. This is a dark romance that holds a special place in my heart. Holy shit! I'd devoured this book in one sitting, I'm so invested with the story, you will love to hate vice versa the characters in this book, and every pages is worthy of time. Whilst I'm reading this I really don't have a singular idea where will the story go through, I'm on the edge. This is very dark and twisted especially the last 80% of the book wherein the shit hits the fan, shocking plot twist. And I genuinely suggest please go in blind to fully enjoy the book and promise this book will take you in a one hell of a ride. 💯💕 "What’s real? Which one is real? The psychopath? The asshole? Neither of them? Am I fucking real?

"Even when you're gone?"
"Especially when I'm gone.".

REVIEW

I’m not so sure what’s more terrifying, the violent storm inside my head or the silence.” —Oliver Masters The only reason why I'm giving this a 4 instead of 5 ☆ because of how Ollie's evil side played in this. Don't get me wrong the book is great, and enjoy every second of it, and I understand its for unravelling the story and character development, still I had a bit of withdrawal from Oliver's characterization in book 1 and how his persona drastically change. But I'm glad he redeemed himself and get his head out of his arse now. One thing I noticed though, in some instances whenever the author written a sequel it tends to be inconsistent, but thats not the case of this book, in terms of plot and character development its prominent, its still written poetically and beautifully. This book tests Mia and Oliver's deathifying, all consuming, timeless & unselfish love ♡. And Ethan fuck, I did not see that one coming. He was both the hero and villain in our love story, saving me only to ruin me. Kiss her crazy and love her insane.” —Oliver Masters  RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

 BOOK REVIEW: Tragic Beauty by Iris Ann Hunter

(Beauty & The Darkness Trilogy 1)

Author: Iris Ann Hunter

Released Date: January 23rd, 2018

One beauty. Two beasts.
The one who owns her. And the one who wants her.
***
I was sixteen when I made the deal.
When I put my fate in the hands of Shayne McAllister, a man determined to break me.
A man with black eyes and a blacker heart, who’s been obsessed with me since we were kids.
And now that my father has passed, he’s coming to collect his debt.
But before I become his, I see a chance to make a choice for myself, and I take it.
I slip away, for one night.
One dark, stormy night that goes horribly wrong.
Until a stranger crosses my path.
An angry stranger, with a harsh voice and menacing eyes, who grants me one night.
One messed up, beautiful night, that changes everything, and spares no one.
Because the stranger wants more.
More than just one night.
He wants me.
What follows, is darkness.
A darkness where secrets will be revealed, blood will be shed, and sacrifices made.
My name is Ava, and this is my story.

(This is a very DARK, contemporary romance/erotic thriller with scenes some will find disturbing. It is a story about love and obsession, about hope and despair, but most of all, it is about finding light through the darkness. For mature audiences only.)

REVIEW
