Review: LET THE MASK FALL by G.E. Masters

 

I discovered Let the Mask Fall at some point in the last couple of months when I was digging through lists and lists of sapphic dark romances. The name popped up once and then it never seemed to go away. I saw it everywhere. When I saw someone with a proof copy of it up for trade…I couldn’t miss my chance.

If you're in the mood for: romance between a stalker and the woman she's inexplicably drawn to, kinky sex, and revenge; check out this book. Make sure to check the trigger and kink warnings first though. Happy reading!

Review: SWITCH by Kat Blackthorne

 

There are some books that linger in your head and you want to read them, you know you do. But it just...doesn't happen for a while. sWitch is one of those books. I knew I wanted to read it. I really did. Every part of it just screamed for me to read it. But it took months for me to actually be in the right mood and place to read it. And I am so glad that I did. I was hooked to this book like a fish on a line. Certain parts are certainly ingrained into my brain and I don't think I want to get rid of them. My only problem right now? I don't own a physical copy of the book (or the RIP book box edition).

If you're in the mood for a taboo romcom, fucking your brother's girlfriend, and sex both physically and virtually, this book will give you all that you desire.

Book Tour: FREDDIE AND STELLA GOT HOT

Thank you so much to Toppling Stacks Tours for allowing me to take part in this tour for Freddie and Stella Got Hot. This is a new book, released only a few days ago, and I had been hearing about it for a bit before the tour announcement came out. So when they were looking for hosts to take part, I jumped at the chance. It sounded like fun!

 

Review: CABIN CLAUSE by Frankie Fyre

 

I've read a lot of sapphic books over the years, from a variety of authors. From older authors who no longer write to newer authors just getting their start. I love reading sapphic books, but I especially love reading sapphic books by new authors. Not new as in fresh, but new-to-me. So finally, finally getting to read a book by Frankie Fyre was amazing!

If you're looking for a short read with a sweet romance and steamy (or would that be frozen?) scenes, I recommend giving this book a chance. It's a relatively easy read, going down nice and smooth like the most delicious cup of hot chocolate. Take care and happy reading!

Review: MY SWEET GIRL by Char Dafoe

 

I wasn't quite sure what I was expecting when I picked up this book. I don't think I've read anything by Char Dafoe before, but the plot sounded interesting so I wanted to give it a chance. It's a sweet New Adult book with inoffensive characters and a relatively quick and simple romance.

If you're looking for a book with low angst, likeable characters, and a sweet and simple plot, you might enjoy this book. I have some...complicated feelings about it, but the writing is solid and other readers may enjoy it more than I did. Take care and happy reading!

Review: VENOM WITHIN HER by Cirrus Rae

 

It's the new year and what better way to kick it off than by talking about one of my favorite authors of last year. Cirrus Rae's first book that isn't related to the Masked Mascs series is out. And I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team. If you've not seen my previous posts about her Masked Mascs series, I recommend checking them out. I very quickly fell in love with Cirrus's characters and writing style. But I was a little apprehensive about reading this book. Because what if my enjoyment only extended to the Masked Mascs books?

If you like unusual shapeshifters, claiming, and psychic connections with your partners, I recommend you take a stab at this book. It has a different tone than the Masked Mascs series, it's not an erotic thriller but rather a monster romance, but her characters and connections still shine through. Please make sure to check the trigger/content warnings before reading and remember that they might not include everyone's personal triggers. If you need to stop at any point, please do. Prioritize your mental health. Have fun and happy reading!

Review: SWEET AS REVENGE by Cirrus Rae

 

Ooh the excitement I felt when I got the ARC email for this book!!! It was practically unmatched. Each time I got one of these books and finished it, I grew more and more excited for the next. So this book, both a spinoff and a culmination of the series, had me riding high! I am ever so thankful that not only did I stumble across Cirrus Rae's TikTok, but also that she kept me as an ARC reader for all 4 of these books. Thank you so much to her for allowing me to read this. And I truly hope that you enjoy the Masked Mascs series as much as I have!

If you remember Gia from Till Death, you might be very interested in this book. If the thought of falling for the "other woman" while seeking revenge on your cheating girlfriend sounds appealing, ooh this book might have something for you. There might be less fear in this book, at least for the protagonists, but there's still a darkness in it that calls towards the darkness that lingers in all of us. Make sure to check the trigger warnings and, if you haven't already, I do recommend reading the other three books in the Masked Mascs series before reading this one. Take care and happy reading!

Review: TILL DEATH by Cirrus Rae

 

Are you ready for the third book in the Masked Mascs series?? I sure wasn't. Another erotic thriller by Cirrus Rae that had me panting and gasping for more. I was powerless against the draw of this book. I had issues downloading it this time, thanks computer, and I was practically buzzing all day until the issue got fixed and I was able to read it. Alba may be my favorite leading lady in this series and I hope she's yours as well. A harsher book than the two previous ones, and that's saying something, Till Death may not be for everyone so take care and don't force yourself past your comfort zone.

If you've secretly craved running from a killer through the woods, this book is written for you. If the sounds of hatchets and combat boots get you going. If you want to be tied up and forced to do those kinky things that linger in the back of your brain but you'll never admit it. Till Death has what you're looking for. Just make sure to check the content and trigger warnings before reading. Take care and have fun!

Review: INTO THE FIRE by Cirrus Rae

 

What's this? Another review so soon? Yeah, I might have been waiting in anticipation for this book! The second I opened the email, I had it downloaded and ready for me to read. Much like Little Lamb, I wound up reading this book in one sitting. Cirrus Rae is very quickly moving into the category of "Auto-Read Author" for me. I don't know how Cirrus Rae manages it, but I just get dragged into her stories and wind up enjoying the hell out of them. This book has a different tone than the previous book and different trigger warnings to go along with it.

A book for those who have dreamed about being watched by someone so obsessed with you that they'll do anything, and everything, to have you. Whether it be fuck you to within an inch of consciousness or kill your ex, they'll do it. Into the Fire and the rest of the Masked Mascs books are erotic thrillers, so do make sure to check the trigger and content warnings before reading. If something will trigger you, don't feel as though you must read it. If it all sounds fun to you, have a great time!

Review: LITTLE LAMB by Cirrus Rae

 

Cirrus Rae popped up on my TikTok feed one day and then just...never left. I only recently got into dark romance (or in this case, erotic thriller) type of books, but when I first heard about the Masked Masc series, I knew that I wanted to read them. A trio of books each following their own romance with, as the name implies, a masked masc. Chasing and stalking galore, I was sold on these books. As soon as I saw the application for ARC readers, I applied. I held my breath, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best. My joy when I got that email saying that I had been chosen was immeasurable.

A book for those who watched Scream and wanted a chase scene of their own (minus the death and with a bit more spice, of course). Little Lamb, and the rest of the series, are erotic thrillers so make sure to check out the content and trigger warnings included below. Happy reading!
