I was fully invested in the beginning and I was hoping for the story to go one way and it ended up going in a completely different direction. I had high hopes for it to be maybe a mafia/cartel boss/assassin/crime lord that would somehow save her from her terrible husband, it would’ve been so good but they everything when to sh!t. I unfortunately don’t like how the story goes or how it ended, I didn’t connect with the story and I was mostly skimming it towards the end. ...more
**spoiler alert** Oh. My. God. wtf was this! The only reason I finished this book was because I cannot dnf a book for the life of me, I hate leaving t**spoiler alert** Oh. My. God. wtf was this! The only reason I finished this book was because I cannot dnf a book for the life of me, I hate leaving things unfinished. But holy shit this was so bad and waaaaaay longer than it needed to be. The unnecessary and meaningless situations added nothing to the plot.
The FMC is absolutely INSUFFERABLE!!!! Her decisions make absolutely no sense, she goes from 0 to 100 and in a second, she’s spoiled and childish. The MMC is a disappointment.
Everything about this story makes absolutely no sense. Okay, let’s start at the beginning. Her parents hate her for a reason it is not explained but I’m guessing it has something to do with Richard (the secret society, Circle, boss) being Gigi’s father, but this is literally revealed in the last page and nothing ever hinted as this being the reason her parents were so rude and cruel to her, especially her mom.
Then, Gigi dropped everything and decides to join the secret society that her ex-bf’s brother is part of (and her dead brother was too) even though she knows it got her brother killed, makes their members do messed up stuff and everyone in wants to get out but can’t. At first, she claims she’s doing for her dead brother because he was known in there as one of the best bla bla bla but I quickly changes to “the Circle is my life, it’s everything…” ...more

It’s a college bullying enemies to lovers romance set about Crystal, Ares, Blaine and Caleb. The guys are part of the Tartarus house, where they are the most heinous and depraved boys on campus. Crystal is the sweet, innocent girl just trying to get through college. Until she witnesses something that will forever change her life and chain her to these boys.

Copper and salt. Lust and need. Danger and excitement. Heaven and hell. That’s what we taste like together.
Oh my freaking God!!! I am on the floor, meCopper and salt. Lust and need. Danger and excitement. Heaven and hell. That’s what we taste like together.
Oh my freaking God!!! I am on the floor, melting, dying, speechless with this book!!! I swear, every Jagger Cole book leaves me like this, his characters are just out of this world so good!! I absolutely devoured this book every chance I had. It was a thrilling, dark and delicious read!! It's a dark, enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, mafia romance.
Kratos, part of the Drakos family mafia and, Bianca, a ballet dancer and mafia princess, never thought they would find in each other the relief they didn't know they were looking for. Kratos had his demons and his monster urges to control, while Bianca wanted nothing more than to find someone that would make her fantasies come true, as twisted as she thought they were. An arranged marriage to prevent a mafia war will connect them in a way they never thought possible.
These two were FIRE together, chemistry absolutely off the charts, and godd*mn the primal scenes were seriously EVERYTHING!! I was eating all of it up and I couldn't put it down. And the mask scenes had me MELTING! Dark mafia masked man perfection, that's all I can say.
She gasps as I yank her against my chest again, grab her chin, tilt her face up to mine, and let my gaze eviscerate her on the spot. “Because you’re going to be my f*cking wife! And no one…” I hiss through clenched teeth. “No one touches you but me.”
Tropes/K!nks: - Dark mafia - Enemies to lovers - Arranged marriage - Touch her and d!e - "My wife" - No one touches you but me - V!rgin fmc - Stalker - Rival Families - Psych* mmc - Primal play - CNC - Kn!fe play - Masked, possessive mmc - Pra!se & Degradat!on...more

I always love and become obsesSpicy enemies to lovers second chance dark romance. I hate to say that was my least favorite book so far by Jagger Cole. I always love and become obsessed with his characters and books but this one did not hit it for me. I couldn’t for the life of me connect with the main characters. Maybe it was just a me thing and I wasn’t in the mood for it but I’ll keep reading the rest of the series. Although I gotta say that the second half of the book was really good and it was what kept me hooked to finish it. Also, the complexity of Jagger’s plots are always amazing to read, the plot twists in the end were also chef’s kiss! ...more
"When they first see your fire, make them think they're in control and then, when you're ready, let the inferno burn them to the ground.”
OH. MY. FKING"When they first see your fire, make them think they're in control and then, when you're ready, let the inferno burn them to the ground.”
OH. MY. FKING. GOD!! Whyyyy did I wait so long to start this series?? I'm mentally kicking myself for not starting this sooner. Mafie Kings was amazing! I seriously could not put my Kindle down and read the whole day yesterday on my day off, every single minute I had I was glued to it. It's that good!!!
Mafie Kings is centered on the boys, Alexi, Damien, and Lev, and the badass bishh Evie. Evie has only one goal in mind: get revenge on the people who murdered her parents when she was 11yo and witnessed the whole thing. After growing up training and becoming one of the best assassins in the world, her Uncle, the only one who could offer her shelter and the tools she needed to move forward, tells her it's finally time to get her revenge at the Mafie University, a university for the criminal families of the mafia world, a prestige university that is invite only and very selective. That's where she meets the Kings, Alexi, Damien and Lev. After losing a challenge, they have the right to rule over Evie for the next year, but instead of finding a submissive little mouse, they have no idea the firecracker they just encountered.
I’m not a princess, I’m a motherfucking queen, and he’s going to figure that out quickly.
I am completely and absolutely obsessed with this world! I still can't believe I haven't started this before but I'm so glad I did now, and I'm even happier that there are 6 books in the series, I'm diving into it asap because my goddd it's so good!!! Also, the MM scenes, HOT DMN!!! Can't wait to see what happens next in the series.

“I don’t care what’s on the other side,” I whispered into her ear. “As long as you’re in there with me.” All I f*cking wanted was her.
My heart… serio “I don’t care what’s on the other side,” I whispered into her ear. “As long as you’re in there with me.” All I f*cking wanted was her.
My heart… seriously, I didn’t know I had it in me to love Augie after everything he did in Saint View High. I hated him and he was beyond forgiveness imo, BUT Killer Kiss showed a side of Augie that no one expected, a side that didn’t justify what he did but explained why he did it and how he truly felt about everything. It was a beautiful book to read, seeing Augie’s growth and how he changed and valued the importance of having people around him was seriously beautiful to see.
Ophelia was Scythe/Vincent and Fawn’s older sister. Scythe/Vincent is from Saint View Prison and Fawn we meet at the beginning of Saint View Strip. Fawn’s a sweet girl running away from a dark past that led her to Saint View Strip Club, making her a part of that big family but when she goes missing nothing is as it should be, there’s now a missing piece in the family and everyone is doing the best they can to find her. Ophelia, that helped Fawn escape their crazy family, didn’t know about her sister’s disappearance until she accidentally met Augie, and that’s when everything changes.
This book was a rollercoaster and I seriously could not put it down, it was so good!!!! The spice, the character crossover from other Saint View series, the plot twists, everything was just amazing!! Also all the scenes with Scythe were my favorites for sure, he’s the best Saint View character and I always die laughing with his scenes ...more

I will be the first and onl“I have far too much to do before then--like becoming the Red Mountain Pack’s Alpha, the strongest pack in all of history. I will be the first and only female alpha.”
And, again, KA Knight knocked another Courts & Kings book out of the park! Court of Beasts is set around the same world as the previous books but it is centered on the Red Mountain wolf pack, which has Jang as alpha, and Quinn as his daughter. Quinn has had a traumatic past and suffered the loss of people very close to her and whom she loved more than anything at the hands of the Hunters. After that tragic event, she tried her best to prove she deserved to be part of the pack and could lead them all into a better future. Everything she did was for the pack, she helped and thought of everyone before thinking of herself and when the hunters' threat gets closer than ever before, her loyalty and strength will be put to the test. The hunters, Vale, Lucien, and Jai, were raised in the hunter world, where they learned to hunt and k!ll the monsters that hunt innocent humans. However, somewhere along the way, the senior hunters stopped thoroughly checking the threats to make sure they were eliminating the bad monsters. These three men will bring forward a change in that outdated thinking, but not with a lot of sacrifice first.
This book was absolutely amazing! Filled with action, fast-paced, and a LOT of smut, it was perfect for me. I could not put it down and I devoured it every time I could. I also was absolutely sobbing by the end of it so bad that my husband came to ask me what was happening. Whoever reads this book will know which part I'm talking about, oh my god, I was destroyed and my heart broke so badly for all of them. The ending though, the reward he got for what he did was beautiful and he deserved that more than anyone. I also loved how there was mention of Althea and the new hunter boss, Angel, and how the queens are all rising and will be the ones to bring forward the change their world needs. Anyway, I loved this book, as I do each of Katie's books and I'm so thankful I got to read an ARC of it. Now I'll be patiently (or not so much) waiting for the next book, Court of Heathens, especially after that epilogue.
Tropes in this book: - Bad*ss FMC - Enemies to lovers - Reverse harem - Blood play - Possessive/protective mmcs - Dark paranormal fantasy romance - a LOT of spicy scenes
“Fuck.” He groans against my lips, the sound husky and so fucking sexy. “Why do you taste so good?” He licks my lips, rubbing himself against me. “Like the freshest fruit. Forbidden.” He nips my lip. “Do you taste that sweet everywhere?” “You’ll never find out,” I tease, nipping his lip again. “Want to bet, she-wolf?” He murmurs before deepening the kiss.
“Good girl, you’re doing so well, she-wolf. Shit, you should see how you’re taking us both. You are stretched so wide for us, your greedy little cunt leaking around him. Does he feel good, Quinn?” She nods, but I grip her head, yanking it up with a snarl. “Use your words, she-wolf.” “Yes, yes, he feels good.” She groans. “So good, please.”
“I caught you, my prey. Now I can eat you,” I murmur, “like we all wanted to do in that cage.” Her heart skips a beat, and her legs tighten around me as I smirk, pricking her skin with my fangs. “You want to be fucked, Quinn. You want to be used, tied up, and forced. You want to be dominated, and that’s exactly what we are doing, baby. Now, be a good little prey and scream for me.” ...more
