Surviving the Hunt: An In-Depth Review of Lucky 14 From Alina May’s Hunter’s Club Series

Posted on by Letty Reads

Lucky 14 by Alina May

18+ Contains Adult Content

Lucky 14 is book three in the Hunter’s Club series; they don’t have to be read in order. You will understand the side characters if you do, though. Lucky 14 follows Holli Oakley, Kyan & Wyatt. Holli, a therapist, has been kidnapped and brought to an Island with 30 other people. She has to survive for 14 days, whilst being hunted. Oakley is the reason Holli has been brought to the Island. He didn’t realise when he signed up and put Holli’s name down that he would be required to hunt and kill. Now Oakley needs to save himself & Holli. Kyan doesn’t know what is going on, but something strange is happening on the island, and now Oakley wants his help to save Holli, and Kyan can’t say no; they have a way of looking inside his soul and seeing things he doesn’t want them to see. Wyatt is the game master, and wants to know who has snuck people into his game. Who is trying to tear down everything he has built? He will find out, even if it means no one survives the game.

Anger makes me tighten my fist. Not good enough to take part in their bullshit little club? I’ll show her. “I can handle it.” “You won’t even fight for your…” she hesitates, “partner. What makes you think you can handle this?” “Fight for her? I’d kill for her!” The words come out in an angry burst, but I realize I meant every word. I’d kill for Poppy.

Seduced By My Stepdad: Snowed In & Falling Hard For This Age Gap Romance By C.J. Riggs

Posted on by Letty Reads

Seduced by my Stepdad by C.J. Riggs

18+ Contains Adult Content

Seduced by My Stepdad is an age gap romance novella from the amazing C.J. Riggs. I have spoken about Riggs many times before on my blog, so it is no lie that I love this woman and her work. Riggs is known for her erotic horrors depicting feminine rage. This book is completely different. Dare I say this is cute? This is 100% a romance, which follows Robyn and Jack. Jack is married to Robyn’s mother, not for much longer, but he is still married to her. Robyn comes to stay with her mother, whom she rarely sees and doesn’t have much of a relationship with, only to find her mother has once again forgotten about her. She ends up staying with Jack since there is a bad storm, which results in them being snowed in. Jack is drawn to Robyn and vice versa, but they are determined not to give in to the pull. Until they do, but only until the snow thaws, then they go their separate ways…right?

“A bit of snow?” I snort. “I don’t want to be stuck here with you for the next… however many days.” “That’s unfortunate for the both of us, then.” He steps closer to me. “Because you’re not going anywhere, little bird.”

Crawl Space by J.N. Bamforth

18+ Contains Adult Content

Crawl Space is a pitch-black erotic horror that follows Iris, who finds out she has been left a house by her Grandma, whom she had never met. She packs up her belongings and moves into this old, creepy-looking house. Where Silas, also known as the Silent Killer, lives in the walls and the basement. A silent killer, who has become obsessed with Iris, but what if Silas isn’t the only unhinged man obsessed with her?

Fucking hell. This little demon is beautiful. My fingers itch to crawl inside her skin, to wear her flesh like a suit. I know she’d be warm and cosy, like a soft blanket.

You can’t turn people into blankets, Silas.

Mr. Sin by S.J. Tilly

18+ Contains Adult Content

Mr Sin follows Sasha & Vincent, who meet in Vegas and have a one-night stand. Imagine Sasha’s surprise when she learns that Vincent is her new client, the guy everyone has known as Mr Sin. Vincent is just as shocked as Sasha, but since Sasha left before giving him one last tussle in the sheets, he naturally pulls her into his office to rectify that. Sasha can’t let her boss at the PR company she works at know that she has been/is involved with Vincent, but the more that gets unravelled about Vincent, his past & his feelings for Sasha, the less she can stay away. So when a crazy man from the past looks to hurt Vincent, Sasha becomes the target. Can Vincent save her, or will he be too late?

The head is still very sore, so again I have no idea what I have written below…hopefully it makes sense haha.

His lips are full, tipped into a small frown and sinfully sexy. As if beckoned, my gaze snaps up and I find myself looking into the eyes of the Devil.

Love, Betrayal, and Horror: Exploring the Twisted Tale of “Fractured” by A.L. Maruga

Posted on by Letty Reads

Fractured by A.L. Maruga

18+ Contains Adult Content

Fractured is an erotic horror that follows Cordelie, who walks in on her boyfriend cheating on her with her childhood best friend. Heartbroken, she starts to lose herself and those around her. When she has the chance to sign up for an anti-Valentine’s app, she does. One night, no names, no mercy and hidden identities. A night for Cordelie to live out her fantasy, to be chased through the woods and be devoured by a mystery masked man. This could be what she needs to get over Noah once and for all. The only thing is that Cordelie thinks she’s meeting a stranger, but she is wrong. Cordelie has been stalked long before she signed up for the app; now he controls the rules, and he won’t let her escape. This is a toxic love story that does not have a happy ending.

I also want to apologise if this review was all over the place. I have the beginnings of a migraine, which means my head hurts and my vision is very fuzzy, but I needed to get this written up as it’s nearly the end of February.

He was the villain in my story, and not the white knight he tried to convince me he was. We knew, we just didn’t want to believe he would hurt us.
