Week 52 Review: Heathens

From Goodreads:
She invited the darkness in, so she had no one else to blame…when I came for her.
It was a sinister game of submission. The Hunt.
She'd run. I'd chase.
And when I caught her…
Primal. Untamed. Merciless.
I've been watching her. Stalking her.
I will become the beast from her darkest fantasies.
Hunting her from behind a stag's mask made of bone.
Preying on her secret need for primal play.

I should be protecting her, but I'm not.
Instead… I am a Heathen.
And she is an innocent who chose this.
And if she made a mistake?
If she wants to try and escape me? Escape The Hunt?
It's far too late.
She's mine now.

My Review:

WWW Wednesday #767, December 24th

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you'll read next?

Thanks to MizB of Should Be Writing now A Daily Rhythm for starting this meme! And thanks now to Taking on a World of Words for reviving it! 

I'm currently reading Light, and I'm loving rereading it! 

I read Fear, and it was such a fantastic read! 

I'm going to be reading Heathens, and I can't wait to continue with this world! 

What about you guys? Happy reading!

Week 51 Reviews: Villains Are Made, Monsters Are Hidden, Vipers Are Forbidden



From Goodreads:
I know how villains are made.
I've watched their secrets rise from the ashes and emerge from the shadows.
As part of a family tree with roots so twisted, I'm strangled by their vine.
Imprisoned in a world of decadence and sin, I've seen Gods among men.
And he is one of them.

He is the villain.
He is the enemy who demands to be the lover.
He is the monster who has shown me pleasure but gives so much pain.
But something has changed…
He's different.
Darker.
Wildly possessive as his obsession with me grows to an inferno that can't be controlled.

Yes… he is the villain.
And he is the end of my beginning.

The problem with secrets is they create powerful monsters.
And even more dangerous enemies.

He's the keeper of all his family's secrets, the watcher of all.
He knows what I've done, what I've risked… the deadly choice I made.

The tangled vines of his mighty family tree are strangling me.
There is no escape.
I am locked away, captive to his twisted obsession and demands.
If I run, my hell will never end.
If I stay, he will devour me.

My only choice is to dare the monster to come out into the light,
before his darkness destroys us both.

Yes… he is the monster in hiding.
And he is the end of my beginning.

From Goodreads:
It's impossible to enter a pit full of vipers and not get bit.
Until you meet me, that is.
My venom is far more toxic than the four men who have declared me their enemy.
They seek vengeance and launch a twisted game of give and take.
I'll play in their dark world, because it's where I thrive.
I'll dance with their debauchery, for I surely know the steps.

But then I discover just how wrong I am. Their four, not only matches, but beats, my one.

With each wicked move they make, they become my obsession.
I crave them until they consume all thought.
The temptation to give them everything they desire becomes too much.
I'm entering their world, and there is no light to guide my way. My blindness full of lust will be my defeat.

Yes… they are the vipers and are forbidden.
And they are the end of my beginning.

Week 50 Review: He Knows When You're Awake

From Goodreads:
This Christmas, it's all about getting what you really want in this dark billionaire stalker romance sequel to He Sees You When You're Sleeping.

Stalking in a winter wonderland...

Jewelry designer Sloane dreams of launching her own custom line—but she needs a Christmas miracle to pull it off. With traditional banks turning her down left and right, she can't resist when a mysterious stranger offers her a lifeline.

I see what she creates in those stolen moments when she thinks no one's watching. I see everything. There's a darkness at her core and I will unravel her until I find it.

Reclusive billionaire Cole Asher offers to fly Sloane out to an ultra-luxurious Swiss resort for a meeting. Reluctantly, she agrees—only to realize she's met him once before in a New York bar.

She is crucial to my plans, and I need her close. She insists that we keep things professional, and I comply. But soon she will realize that every line is blurred when it comes to her and me. 

Cole offers to back her company—but there's a cost. To secure his investment, Sloane must move into his Manhattan penthouse, where she'll complete her first round of designs for him to review before Christmas.

Sloane throws herself into her work, yet soon the attraction between her and Cole becomes undeniable. As the city sparkles with Christmas splendor from her penthouse view, Sloane wonders if she has stepped into a fairy tale—until Cole's powerful enemies close in. They will stop at nothing to destroy him, including going after the woman he loves. 

I will burn down the world to get her back...and it will be in time for Christmas.

The Story: I saw Heathens on NetGalley, and it sounded really great, so I got it, but I had to read the prequel series first. And then He Sees You When You're Sleeping ended up filling a prompt, so I picked it up first, and really enjoyed it, and I can't wait to read more by Alta Hensley!

Week 49 Review: He Sees You When You're Sleeping

From Goodreads:
Why choose between naughty or nice in this steamy, suspenseful Christmas-themed stalker romance that's perfect for dark romance fans seeking a spicy, festive listen.

It's the night before Christmas and I'm alone in the house…

Popular jewelry influencer Chloe Hallman is steeling herself to spend another holiday on her own. Instead, she finds herself drawn to two different guys… a smoldering hot fan of her secret, seductive online persona, and a sexy fireman named Jack who looks out for her in their NYC neighborhood.

She has no idea that I know her better than she knows herself. Her deepest secrets, her darkest desires—she's careful, but I've been watching, never leaving footprints in the snow outside her home.

Jack was the first responder to the accident that stole a beautiful young woman's family two Christmases ago, and he's been quietly guarding her ever since. When Jack uncovers Chloe's secret account, his obsession only grows. Both he and Chloe are drawn to the darkness that mirrors their own.

She's my Christmas wish come true. And I'm hers. She just doesn't know it yet.

Will Chloe's Christmas be a tale of fiery passion...or a dangerous game with a man whose love knows no bounds?

"Fa la la fucking la. I can’t lay in bed all morning avoiding the day, and yet here I am. The Christmas lights strung on the large snow-covered hedge outside my window do little to get me in the spirit of what needs to happen for the day. The reflection of the twinkling lights dance on the frosted windowpane, creating a myriad of colors. But it all feels hollow."-He Sees You When You're Sleeping by Alta Hensley

Oh, I can feel the attitude of the narrator! Must read more now! What about you guys? Happy reading!
