Rating: 4 out of 5.
His dark crown will be mine.
My mother was imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit. She was locked away in darkness, never to see light again. I was born into that darkness, that perpetual night. I learned to survive without sunlight and to thrive on the scraps that were thrown to me.
All because someone didn't want me to claim my birthright.
Now I'm free. And I'm coming for what's mine.
I'll go deep into the nightmares of an empire built on blood and bones to find the man whose name my mother couldn't utter.
A beast who stole my place among supernaturals.
I'll do whatever it takes to slice his empire apart, piece by little piece.
Even if it means making a deal with a man whose thirst for vengeance exceeds my own. A broken king. The darkest of them all.
In return for his power, he wants more from me than I can give.
He wants my heart.
Content information: Wolf of Ashes is a dark paranormal romance, the first in the Dark Magic Shifters series. Recommended reading age is 18+ for sex scenes, mature themes, violence, and language. Ends on a cliffhanger.
Tropes include: supernatural mafia, enemies to lovers, secret identity, fated mates, wolf shifters, dragon shifters, and Norse mythology.

Wolf of Ashes (Dark Magic Shifters 1) by Everly Frost

Hey Ramblers!

Everly is coming at us with another new series (or technically spin-off prequel series) that I think most urban fantasy lovers will be dying for!! I’ll be honest, this one did take me a decent amount of time to truly get me in and I’m honestly not sure why that was but it was a good 60% before I was fully grabbed…but don’t take this to mean that the moments before this point weren’t good, I just might’ve needed more time to sink into this new story! Towards the end, I was lost inside of the budding story and now I really need more information and to see where it all goes! It just came bursting to life at that end point!

Savage Hunt (Den of Shadows 3) – ARC Review

/ booknerdtassi / Leave a comment

Rating: 5 out of 5.
All dark magic has a price. And one day, the universe will come calling…

Fane and I are thrown into the Underworld’s most notorious prison, and the suffering inflicted by the supernatural guards is the least of my problems. A powerful inmate lusts for my destruction, and dark secrets surround the mysterious warden.

Princess Venna isn’t the only demon interested in discovering Ruin’s plans for the Infernal Sol. Instead of torment, the warden plays a different game to loosen my lips.

As we endure our sinister punishment in Heldrok, the amulet slowly steals my control, and not even Fane is safe from my brand of chaos.

I’m the wicked, depraved, and savage one now. And no one can stop me.

But when Fane is caught in a nightmarish fate, I’m reminded of the beast who longed to tear me to pieces. If I can’t free him, I’ll sacrifice everything to save him.

The wicked power in me will scream. The bond will break. And he’ll have his vengeance.

If you like dark, gritty urban fantasy romances featuring possessive, tattooed and pierced shifters, wicked and alluring demons, and kicka** heroines who make even the worst monsters fall to their knees, then dive right into the darkness… Welcome to Den of Shadows.

Den of Shadows is a Nightworld series along with Nightworld: Court of Magic but can be read alone.

**This book is part of a series and ends on a cliffhanger.

**This book contains dark content that may be considered a trigger for some readers, and there is mention of past abuse.

Savage Hunt by J.N Colon

I know, I know, its been an age since I’ve written a ramble…life’s been a bully but I’m here now even as my body protests me using my brain lol…but this book seriously deserves something so I’m going to try and deliver something worthy of this book.

A Dragon’s Curse – ARC Review

/ booknerdtassi / Leave a comment

Rating: 5 out of 5.
Not everything broken can be put together again.

Dawsyn
I risked everything to keep my best friend alive and now…I’ve not only lost my fated mate, but I’ve willingly become a prisoner.

Shrouded in darkness and isolated from the world, I have all the time to consider my next moves. Yet, there are only two things I can focus on…

Getting back to Cillian and making sure that at some point soon, Knox ceases to exist. Whether that’s by my hand or someone’s else’s, I don’t care. It just needs to be done.

Cillian
Watching my world literally burn is nothing compared to knowing my mate is out there somewhere and I can’t find her. That I’ve failed to protect her as I promised to do.

When I finally have her back in my arms, nothing is as I hoped. More betrayal is revealed, and a war is coming. One I don’t want to avoid if it means getting my vengeance.

Only not everything is as it seems and doing what I should instead of what I want is no longer an easy choice.Not everything broken can be put together again.

A Dragon’s Curse (The Hidden Realm 2) by Heather Renee

Hey…so this review I already had listed up on Goodreads and because of my brain fog, I hadn’t realised it wasn’t uploaded out of my drafts on my blog. So this is really delayed posting on my site but better late than never right? Least, I uploaded it somewhere.

Holy dragon babies!! 😍 Heather continues to smash it out of the park and I’m here for it all the way!!! I will say that this books cliffy is nowhere near as bad but MAN am I SO curious about all the things, which kind of makes it nearly as bad but not quite lol.

Loving all the aspects of this story and continue to love and adore the characters! I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on the next book because dang do I have a lot of questions that I need answered stat!

Thanks again Heather for yet another story I can lose myself in especially when life has been so chaotic! Those are the moments you especially need the escape that snatches you away and helps you stop thinking.

Please note that I did receive this book as an ARC but as always this is my honest thoughts on this book. Please note that I receive nothing in place for my honest review.

A Dragon’s Wolf (The Hidden Realm 1) by Heather Renee

Some things are better left unknown.

Dawsyn
All my life I’d been nothing more than the alpha’s daughter. After twenty-two years of that existence, I finally leave my pack, intent to figure out who I am.

Except a week into my newfound freedom, I discover that dragon shifters exist. Not only that, but the first one I stumble upon turns out to be my mate. One I don’t want and never asked for.

It’s not like Cillian is bad on the eyes or that I’m repulsed by his grumpy demeanor. In fact, everything about him is rather…appealing. He just wasn’t part of the plan.

Cillian
The realm I call home is under attack and things are only getting worse as the weeks pass. When I decide to do something about that, I get more than I bargained for.

I get Dawsyn Chase.

A wolf shifter with a bite as vicious as her words that also happens to be my fated mate. She’s a distraction I intend to stay away from, but when the world demands otherwise… It could be more than our bond at stake if we’re not careful.

A Court of Debt and Deception (Shadowguard Trials 1) by Samantha Britt

Hey, hey Ramblers!! Welcome to my first ARC read of the year and daaaang was it one that I LOVED and completely DEVOURED!! I was more than a little sad to see this book come to an end.

There was so much to love about this book and I can’t express how much I loved falling back into the Shadowguard world. I remember when the first one came out in 2019? I was lucky enough to get my hands on the ARC of that one too and I just adored how Samantha wrote. Since then, I’ve fallen into each one of her worlds and loved them all. Her writing style and ability to weave a story has always had a way of catching my attention and holding it. And this new series is no different. I can’t tell you how fast I fell in love with the main character, Andie. She’s one you just can’t help but connect with and love. Then add in the other characters and don’t forget about the plot, it’s just the icing on the cake.

Heyoh Ramblers! I hope you are all doing well and keeping out of mischief and staying sane? I have to admit my brain has been haywire and all over the place. Definitely keeping out of mischief, but I dunno about the sane part 😆. Life has been crazy. My body has decided it doesn’t want to play by any rules and is just here there and everywhere, with what it throws at me of late. So much fun aye. 😆

But let’s forget a bit about life for a little while yeah. And this is a great book to do that with. When I say this book dives right in…I mean. Right. In. So if you ask me…

Holy flippin’ Fae wine. That. That was the most adrenaline-pumping, emotionally-stirring, edge of your seat worthy read. And I’m sad to see some of my fav character’s story come to a close…but seriously exceptional read. It was all tied up so perfectly (well outside of the fact that it ended lol…but we can’t have everything, now can we?) And since nothing can really meet the energy of the kid from Incredibles, this gif feels hella appropriate for this book.

Vampire Vow (Scorned by Blood 3) – ARC Review

/ booknerdtassi / Leave a comment

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well I’ll be damned. I didn’t think Heather could outdo herself like this but daaaang she did. Whilst my emotions are still on the rollercoaster ride that is this story. This is an easy 5 stars to give. A story that can make you feel so strongly and has you blaming onions for your stingy eyes deserves all the stars. Wouldn’t you agree?

So whilst cutting my non existing onions (shh don’t tell nobody that)…I needed a minute to just be like how could you do me like this Heather?! And whilst I’m still all aboard that train I love the fact that she can mess with my emotions so easily. So whilst I’m holding a teensy bit of a grudge against her currently… I love her and the amazing journey this book is. It really is a book about finding your people, your home and that with them you can get through anything. Which warmed my heart so much. Our dear Amersyn started off with nobody and as the series progresses you see her let people in and that’s such a beautiful thing to watch bloom. People accepting you for who you are and making you the best version of yourself. Beautiful. No, no I’m not gonna cry.

This book was just incredible. The characters (oh the characters!) I adored them. So relatable and loveable. The story development and growth was something I truly loved experiencing. It took me a little to get fully invested in this series world but once Heather got her claws into me, I was a complete goner. I truly think this could be some of Heather’s best works yet. I know right?! You’d think that was impossible. But with every story this girl releases, she herself shows so much growth. And I’m here for it all. 😍

With everything coming to a head, the final battle is nigh and players are bringing their all. So be prepared for anything.…anything. It’s time for Amersyn and her friends to take down Viktor and his nest once and for all. With plot twists and turns, expect the unexpected folks. And even then you’ll probably still get shocker punched (I spelt it wrong for a reason lol).

This book I would definitely recommend reading. So do yourself a favour and add it to the list. You guys can thank me later 😉. This book releases on the 20th January but if you want to read now the paperback just went live. (Find here —> Vampire Vow)

Thank you so much Heather for providing me with the ARC of this incredible mind-blowing journey. As always it’s a pleasure being apart of your team, even when you are a little bit evil. 😜 I can’t wait for others to read this awesome story you created.

Anywho, I’m gonna leave it at that and am going to find myself some chocolate to eat now lol. I know I’m complaining but my heart hurts. You’ll understand. But I did very much (or vermicelli as my autocorrect wanted to say lol) like how their story was wrapped up! I’m curious to see what more Heather has in store for us in the MM world.

Til next time. Happy reading Ramblers! 🤍

Ps my computer has decided to move on to its next life (RIP you had a good life!)….so whilst my reviews for a time will be lacking the gifs I hope they still get across my real feels.

Holy flamin’ mushrooms on toast! This was so torturously perfect! 😍 …if I wasn’t already obsessed with this series this book would’ve done it for me. So much so, I think Jena might be starting to regret her beyond awesome-saucy talents…and now everytime I message her she’s probably thinking…

But girl it’s out of my control. You stuck with me now 😂, an Aussie is a hard thing to shake…after-all you only have to look at all the possible dangers we might have to face for the day 🤣🤣🤣… so the worst you can do is kill me off in your story. So I’m pretty okay with that lol. 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

The torture of waiting for the second book was seriously intense and when Jena messaged me with a surprise of the ARC early, I was legit out of my mind with excitement.
