I don’t really have an explanation on why I sometimes jump to book 2 in a series. But when the trend is it’s a different person’s book, then I guess it’s less confusing. I read this first because of the Vampire/Hunter trope that ALWAYS GETS ME. You have “Professor Blood” , Quinn who is trying to find a way to make a version of Blood that will allow Vampires to not needs human as food source anymore. In his class, he gets a student named Brandon who is a hunter and naturally finds out his secret. What I like about this is Brandon overcoming his prejudice towards Vampires ; realizing that not all of them are murderers and that they were once humans. This one is a quick read and not hard to get into 💙.
Title : Forbidden ( Siren Cove Book 1)
Author : Claire Cullen
This is the first time I’ve read a book where a Siren is the main character. Add a werewolf to that and it’s really something else. Jonah lives alone in their family home, a surviving part of a dying breed of creatures. He works as a vet and is just enjoying his quiet life alone — Then comes Nate, an alpha of a pack seeking refuge. They meet and their lives change. There is something about this story that just got to me. How Jonah was so convinced that he will just be alone but gains a family c/o the pack and especially Nate. I also like the Siren aspect and how their powers were used in that final confrontation. Plus, there is also Mpreg, just a warning if you don’t like that kind of thing.
Title : P.S I Spook You ( Spectral Files 1 )
Author : S.E Harmon
My first S.E Harmon book and It was a delicious treat. This person writes explicit scenes on a different level. AMEN. 🙏🏻 We have ex-boyfriends Rain and Danny who are working on a cold case together. Add some ghosts in there, mystery and lots of feelings. It’s just one of those stories that flows so well and had no “boring” page at all. I really am a sucker for Paranormal themes so if you are too, give this one a go. This description I gave is so poor for a books this good- just please read it. 😂
Title : Badlands ( Badlands Book 1 )
Author : Morgan Brice
This whole series ( 3 books and 4 novellas ) is without a doubt my Favorite M/M Romance with a paranormal theme. 💜 I’ve always been weak for a psychic/medium MC and pair them up with a cop — then top it all off with a good Mystery. So this one starts with Simon who is a medium/clairvoyant living his life and being a badass on his own who meets Vic who is a cop, desperate to find a lead in a serial killer case. I love Simon as a character— his power, his interesting little shop and his group of “superheroes”. AAAAARRGGHHH! There is just so much to love about these books : The Mystery and how they solve the cases. How the supernatural aspect is involved and all the side characters are just lovely. The domesticity of the main pairing and the right amount of fluff/angst. These two are really just the definition of OTP.
Title : Finding Alexander ( Lost Treasures #1 )
Author : Pandora Pine
If you like your characters going on a quest and sort of solving a mystery then this one is for you. A indiana-jones type of plot, where the main characters are looking for lost treasure in Egypt. The story itself though is more focused on the relationship rather than the historical bits. This one starts with Cairo Vanderbilt whose family legacy is to head an expedition that will lead them to treasure. It’s now his turn to fulfill that legacy and he’s brought Dillinger DeCosta with him. Dillinger is a professor and owns a blog who comes along to document the dig and share it with the world. Their relationship just made me so giddy. 😭 I could not wait for them to get together ; their chemistry was just jumping off the page from their first meeting. There is some good conflict and a nice dose of angst & hurt/comfort along the way too.
Title : Hug It Out ( Haven Heart Universe #2)
Author : Davidson King
I picked this up cause it’s one of those Fanfic tropes where Person A hires a professional hugger. That’s it. Riordan Darcy is an assassin who is recovering from a job gone wrong. In comes Teddy, a TLC provider and tries to provide companionship and “touch” to the Assassin’s life. The Conflict on this one is there is a Mole in Riordan’s organization, figuring that out and Teddy suddenly in the midst of of it all. This one was a welcome surprise and one that I did enjoy very much. It banked on the relationship but also introduced a lot of interesting characters that moved the plot forward The ending may be a bit cheesy for some but yeah, I really liked this story.
Indiana Jones meets Clark Kent in this modern-day treasure hunt.
Archaeologist Cairo Vanderbilt was born to be a treasure hunter, whether he liked it or not. When his famous father dies in search of the tomb of Alexander the Great, Cairo picks up the trail to find the world’s most famous lost treasure.…
