Tate James’ 7th Circle: Action and Romance in Hades’ World

Posted on by Letty Reads

7th Circle by Tate James

7th Circle is book one of the Hades series by Tate James. It is set in the same universe as the Madison Kate series, and it is recommended that you read this after finishing the Madison Kate series.

7th Circle follows Hades, the infamous businesswoman and leader of the Tri-state Timberwolves. We hear of Hades in the Madison Kate series, and that Hades is not to be messed with. We don’t, however, get the identity of Hades in the MK series. It was one of the biggest things I was questioning when I finished Kate. Who is Hades?

Wanted: A Look into Dark Themes and Complex Characters

Posted on by Letty Reads

Wanted by Lauren Biel

Wanted is a DARK GRAY romance novella with high spice and low plot. This home invasion story will leave you questioning if you should leave your door open at night.
I’m wanted.
On the lam, running from the law and my mistakes. The house tucked into the trees seems safe—an excellent place to hide out.
Once inside, I find something unexpected. A nurse that can do more than heal my wounds. But the longer I’m awake, the more reality starts to blur, and I can’t tell what’s real and what’s not anymore.
Plagued by ill fantasies and temptation, I try to keep her safe from me. It works until the lines between us also begin to blur.
Vanessa, like her home, will never be the same once I get inside.
Wanted is a dark, spicy novella with a plethora of content advisories. It’s part of Lauren Biel’s “after dark” collection, and warnings on LaurenBiel.com should be taken seriously.

Goldflame: The Dark Romance Awaited by Fans

Posted on by Letty Reads

Goldflame by Aveline Knight

Releasing 12th June 2025

There are many things I never thought I’d find myself behind; the barrel of a gun is one of them. I feel the tingle, the rush, as it slithers down my skin. I feel the cold. Too many deaths – one of them will be the death of me. Julian is determined to make me pay for someone else’s sins. And I’m struggling not to succumb to his mercy, not to fall to my knees and beg. But as my legs give in, as my muscles strain and my voice weakens, I keep the handle of my knife tight in my grip. My Mother’s suffering collides with mine as I use my last breath to take away the ones who stole hers. I keep fighting. I keep killing. I keep hoping. Even when ghosts are the only company I have left. Even when he’s the last thing I see.

C.J. Riggs’ Shelly: The Ultimate Mix of Horror and Erotica

Posted on by Letty Reads

Shelly by C.J Riggs

Shelly is a short erotic horror story by C.J Riggs. I think this is the 4th book I’ve read by this author, and I have enjoyed every one that I have read.

This book follows Atlas, who is the MMC, and he could never find the perfect girl; he wanted a connection, but couldn’t connect with any of them the way he wanted. So, what does a normal person do? They make it.

Connection. It’s the one thing I can’t seem to ascertain within my dating pool. Then one morning, I had an epiphany.

Fake is book 3 in the Madison Kate Series. This book finishes off where we ended in Liar. Madison Kate has just found out that her father sold her to Archer, and she is married to him.

Madison Kate’s Dark Journey in Liar: A Five-Star Review

Posted on by Letty Reads

Liar by Tate James

After finishing Hate, which is book one in this series, and you can find my review for it here, I knew I had to jump straight into book 2. If you have not read book one, you may want to skip this review, as there will most likely be book one spoilers.

This book follows directly on from book one, where our FMC, Madison Kate, is in the hospital after being attacked. She believed that Archer was the one who stabbed her, and the boys were banned from the hospital. Madison Kate then decides to discharge herself early and stay at a hotel instead of coming home, but obviously, Archer finds her and drags her home. In this book, we see more of MK’s stalker, and the relationship between MK & the boys is heating up. We also learn more about Zane, who is Archer’s brother, and more attempts are made on MK’s life.

Madison Kate’s Journey: Love, Revenge, and Bad Boys

Posted on by Letty Reads

Hate by Tate James

The first thing that drew me to this book was the cover. That neon green and pink against the black just spoke to me. I had seen that my friends on TikTok had read the series, and I trusted their views. When I saw the set at a good price, I had to pick them up.

Hate is the first book in the four-book Madison Kate series. It is followed by Liar, Fake, and Kate. I believe these are reverse harem.
