Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young

 

I'm surprised that I actually enjoyed this book as I was hooked by the cover but the description was something that I actually was not sure to like. 

Everything in Saiorse is connected: families, business, traditions and of course secrets. 

14 years ago a violent fire started in the island and the body of a young girl named Lily was found. Everyone blamed August and even if no proof it was him, he was forced to leave the island with his mother. 

But the old people of the island keep saying that Saiorse call everyone back and it's true: August need to go back to bury is mother. 

The plan is to go, bury his mother and leave. He never wanted to stay in the island even when he was 18 and he knows that the people will know he's there and will not be happy. 

And they knew and was not happy: not only because they still believe he killed Lily but also because the council have a big and dark secret that they don't want to come to surface! 

The island itself have a will and will help, or not, the villagers. 

That's what she have done once and will do it again! But this time in the form of a true love and redemption. 

Secrets uncover, lies discovered, an unsolved murder and the truth about everything got me gripped in this 4⭐  story

The only thing that I was not ok was with Leoda. She have so much to tell and we only heard of her twice. She is the villain of this book and only at the end we understand how her influence go and how she put her wanting before everything else.

THE FEMININE WAY: Pete Jackson private Detective bt Dr. Man

 

Following the storyline of The Unpaid Debt, this book as also full of action! (please click in the book title to have access of my review)

My heart missed some beats in the first events of the 1st chapter and after that I was able to hear it beating faster each time the events was getting into a bad moment plot! 

Got Pete stabbed by a guy seeking revenge of a pretty good lie, 3 women saved Pete until the end of the book and we can't forgot that Pete have a pretty good family and friends!  

This book got the rating of 4⭐ and next time I will read a Dr Man book I will start from the start of the story of Pete Jackson! 

Once again my big thank you for the author to providing me also this book 😘

THE UNPAID DEBT: Pete Jackson Private Detective by Dr Man

 

This book is following The Sinister Sickness where the mob is paid to end up the life of an old lady 

(click in the name book to have access to the review)

I want to thank the author for sending me this book via email and by not making any kind of pressure or asking for a review in a defined time 😍

This book only have 52 pages but they are full of action! 

Pete know that this is not over with the mob but he's not quite sure about why they stopped any plans. That's until you have 2 murders in 2 weeks and an invitation to actually lunch with the bosses. 

Even after that the big questions is: why?

This book got the rating of 3⭐ not because I didn't enjoy the plot but because a lot of questions stayed to be answered. 

I will for sure continue my journey into Pete Jackson and will read the full collection!

Wicked Villains #6 Queen Takes Rose by Katee Robert

What a waist of time at the end! 

All the book is built in how Malone is strong and deathly and how Aurora hates her for good reasons.

It's not even that smutty at a certain point... yes you have the scenes but it's no hit as the previous books.

The plot is there and is not.... 

I spent the full book hoping for Aurora split the tea and try to kill Malone and what I get? 15 days to Aurora finally be sincere with Malone. 

Malone was hurt but no blood, no fight,.... just a "get out" 

And why bring the Sabine Valley situation if you are not to clarify further than until 30% of the book? What happened to the nieces? Did the sister call to update? I mean.... 😠

Arf.... only got 2 stars rating because I really like Aurora but it was a disappointment.... 

 

Wicked Villains #5 The Sea Witch by Katee Robert

 

Almost finishing this series and with it it will be the end this genre! 

This book got a rating of 5 ⭐ and I was more than delighted after that 3 star book... 

This one got everything so.... real

Ursa is a sage women: she got to fight a lot as a black women in a white men world. 

She was betrayed, never let her guard done since and she know she is rotten apple by how far she is now but she is not ashamed of what she needed to have done to reach the top and be a territory leader. 

For someone that got so far and alone it is very unexpected to see that she is tired and Alaric and Zuri are actually what she need even if she don't believe in it. 

Alaric got into a mess thanks to his family and Zuri was a way to make sure Triton pay for what happened to Ursa in the past but Zuri can be all innocence as she is a fast learner.

That's where this book is so good to read: Zuri actually didn't change thanks to Ursa and Alaric as you can think. They actually only opened the door to her be herself and see the world as it is and the result was more than what they think they deserve.

Zuri is the kind of princess locked in the tower that got sick of it and want to live on her own. Her love is so strong that actually she don't blink when a solution to help Alaric came from Ursa. She is an hurricane and she only needed to have space to understand everything and stand for. 

Almost 300 pages where you can see all the power games Ursa show and keep working, a strong black women, a young women that came with a hurricane of emotions, friendship that sound more real than anything, Alaric that is more than a pretty fuck boy and ofc the BDSM parts that actually was hard this time but Ursa is actually very harsh so..... 😅

The plot was perfect! 

The side characters are as I expected and even more! 

Wicked Villains #4 The Beast by Katee Robert

 

This book got a 3⭐ rating and it was not even hard to come to that decision!

In this volume you have the story of Gaston, Beast and Isabella and also a promising war between Ursa and Isabella's sister Cordelia (that is the heir of the territory after the death of their father)

You may think that I didn't like this book due the M/M/F relationship and maybe was part of the reasons but like 1%

All the book seems that they only make choices in the heat of the moment. It's a lot as "let's try this and hope it works otherwise I think in something else". 

Beats over and over again show that it's not a made up moment decision but we are unable to understand when he came with the idea and it's frustrating! 

It was more than obvious that Izzy will never choose Gaston or Beats. It was more than clear in the previous books that she was unable to do such a thing.... 

The plot was so promising that I got shattered when it was not as expected. 

I was hoping a fight between Cordelia and Izzy about Gaston and Beats. 

I was hoping for Ursa break in the territory and deal with Beats in the next seconds 

I was hoping Beats on knees and Izzy bossing him and lecture Gaston

What I got? 

Cordelia and Izzy fight was very stupid (and glade it was mentioned actually in the book)

The promising war with Ursa after half the book look like what it is for real: a decoy

Izzy submit without any resistance.... they fight but it was all cleared in 1 day

From what I saw in the final pages, Ursa book look like more promising and with a lot of games and I really hope that actually it get that as I need smut and power games

Wicked Villains #3 A Worthy Opponent by Katee Robert

 

Time can heal a lot of things but the memories will never fade. 

5 years ago Tink make a bargain to get out of an very abusive relation and during that time she survived and took control of herself. 

Now the contract took an end and she realize that the menace was never gone... And all memories comes back and the strong women she built is a facade. 

Hook always got his eyes to every movement Tink have done since the first day they met but what 5 years ago he didn't finish is now coming back and to finish him. Having Tink at his side only make Peter go wild and can make the end of all the troubles. Only is a problem: Peter's ex is Tink and more than wanting the territory back, he want to make her suffer. 

During this all book you can see how deep marks can go when you go into a very dark and possessive relationship. 

You see the build of trust between Tink and Hook, the way the correct partner can make miracles and that's why it got a 5⭐ rating. 

Also my congrats to Katee as she made a great research regarding BDSM and Bondage. It's not slutty at all... it's erotic and after 3 books I'm not deceived reading that scenarios!

Moving for book 4 and unto a Love Triangle!

Wicked Villains #2 Learn My Lesson Katee Robert

 

I ended up now the book 2 of Wicked Villains Serie and it got my 4⭐ rating. 

This book is about Meg, Hades and Hercules and no, they are not enemies this time! 

Meg and Hades had a 10 years relationship that started as a normal an usual bargain but with a love interest from both parts. 

But the years pass and Meg is not happy, Hades keep is last plan out of her as finally is 30 years revenge can start. 

Hercules is done with is father and got out of Olympus after failing a rescue. Everything is normal until he got between the legs of Meg and wanted to save her from Hades. 

Hades plan is moving but something unexpected happens and it can cause the lost of everything. 

Repleted with threesome scenes this book got less sex scenarios than the first one as the main plot was about trusting and healing a relationship and learning from the past but it was very very well done!

I'm now heading for the book 3 that is about Hook and Tink!

Wicked Villains #1 Desperate Measures by Katee Robert

 

It was thanks to Tiktok that I learned about this serie BUT nothing was preparing me about the intense smut parts. 

By surprise, this book have a plot: 

Jafar always wanted to have the control and power but here Ali (Aladin) is the real villain as Jafar indeed have a love interest! 

Jasmine look fragil and it's really not her fault! Her father simply saw her as something to get more power, a trophy and she never was allowed to fly! 

Not only she finally see what life can be outside the mansion as she is growing. 

Of course this book is +18 and BDSM so the description of that scenarios are really well done and not in a disgusting way as many other books make it look more pornographic and "savage". 

Katee make sure you enjoy reading that parts without tending to pass them as too savage, vulgar,... The word "erotic" is the most accurate to describe that scenes.

This book got my 4⭐ rate in Goodreads.com

As this serie have 6 books (that I got them all at the same time) I'm moving for the second one where Meg and Hades (you read correctly) are the MC
