I screwed up…
Every demon hunter knows the rules. The most important of which is to never leave a personal object in a demon realm.
But somehow, I did.
That means the demons who found my ring own me. They can use me. They can command me.
I’m at their mercy.
But what if everything I’ve ever known about demons is wrong? And what if I’ll need three sinfully sexy demons at my side, or else fall to an enemy I never imagined?
SECRET MONSTERS is a steamy paranormal reverse harem romance. It has sexy demons, a tough demon hunter, and a mysterious enemy. But be warned, this book might make you wish for possessive demons of your own. (This book was previously released as Renegade Hunter.)

Hello hello! Here’s another book review wherein I’ve read this more than a year ago and my notes on the book are little to none, so…here we go.
Root Rot Academy: The Complete Trilogy includes all three full-length books from the Root Rot Trilogy + a short follow-up for those who love reconnecting with the main characters after The End. The trilogy is a supernatural academy Why-Choose romance centered around the professors and staff. It contains mature subject matter that might not be suitable for all readers.
The warlock who murdered my parents is teaching at Root Rot Academy—and now, so am I.
Once upon a time, a monster killed my parents and left me to burn in my bed.
Twenty-six years later, I finally found him.
We might have both become professors, but we are nothing alike. Benedict Hammond is a liar, a murderer, a psychopath.
And I’m the witch here to punish him.
I renamed myself after the fury Alecto years ago, and now it’s time to taste her madness—to exact my righteous revenge.
You know…
Once I figure out what that is, exactly.
But it’s coming, and nothing is going to distract me.
Not my gorgeous vampire roommate, the complete package and totally off-limits.
Not the mysterious head librarian, a fae as intriguing as he is infuriating.
Oh, and definitely not my powerful warlock headmaster who makes me feel so deliciously small.
I’m here to collect a life debt—that’s all that matters.

Jumping right into things, I read the Root Rot Academy series in one sitting. My series review is more of how I felt about the trilogy as a whole, more than the individual books. Plus, it’s been too long (over a year) since I’ve read the trilogy.
What I can say about this series is that there are 4 points of view in total, and I enjoyed reading from all of them. …Which doesn’t happen all that often, despite me saying otherwise.
What I liked the most, and what made me decide to read the Root Rot Academy trilogy series is that the characters involved themselves are all old enough to be teachers. Which means! That! These characters are not the students themselves. Lately I’ve been into the older characters, i.e., not high school students, but more characters around the 20+ age mark. — Getting back to what I was saying though, was that I love that this story takes place in a school setting, but none of the main characters or love interests were students of the school themselves.
This is because I’ve found that lately I just don’t have the energy to put up with reading school/academy settings wherein the main characters are students themselves.
Something else that I genuinely loved/enjoyed about the series is how mature our female lead is. Like, she’s there for her friends. She’s genuinely there, and she genuinely cares. When a character is down about something, Alecto (the main lead) is usually the first / only person who does something about it. I love that Alecto takes action and stands up for what she believes in.
The writing is another thing that I enjoyed as well. I like that there were details in the story, but those details weren’t the delved into to the point where the story is consumed by them. There’s breathing room in the story from the details of everything, and I love that it was so effortlessly done.
Note that there are sex scenes in this series, and just to be on the side of caution, if you don’t like reading sex scenes, maybe skip this series. Personally I found that the sex scenes were good, which is always a good thing, in my opinion.
All in all, I give each of the three books (and the trilogy as a whole) 4 stars!

Diving back into the Draecus Clan I was super excited to see where the story would lead. And while I wasn’t disappointed with Dragon Rebel, I wasn’t too thrilled either…

Serenity has been kidnapped.
After the rebels broke into the castle, her world fell apart. Her dragons are determined to get her back, but there are dangers untold and secrets that could destroy everything. Serenity must find the strength to fight this new darkness, or this new family she’s found could be gone forever.

Dragon Hunted is quite the sequel. Not that I wanted to expect much from this second book, but I didn’t expect something…

To be quite honest with you, I didn’t know what to expect from Mother of Shadows, like, the way that people converse is more akin to Olde English, but with regular English thrown into the mix.
There are different points of view, and there’s also a mixture of how the story is told. We have both a passive narrators voice, alongside a first point of view.
Trigger Warnings: mentions of Stalking, Attempted Drugging, Attempted Kidnapping, Kidnapping, minor Frostbite, Anxiety / Fear, Sex Scenes, Murder, Blood, Depression, mention of Emotional Abuse from a parent, mention of Sexual Harassment.
Serenity had no idea that dragons existed. She knows she’s weird, but she’s pretty good at hiding the occasional incident of her hands catching fire. When she has the worst day of her life, though, she discovers that the world is not quite what it seems. Just like that, she’s whisked away into a world of dragon shifters, and four in particular seem intent on her. Can she accept her place in this new world of dragons? Or will she break under the pressure?

I hadn’t read a dragon-shifter book in a long time, and frankly, I love dragon-shifter stories a lot. Which is maybe why I haven’t read too many (in comparison to wolf-shifter stories).
Going into Dragon Taken I had no idea what would happen in the book, I think I read like, maybe the first 2 sentences of the synopsis and was like “YES, THIS IS FOR MEEEEE” and then downloaded the book, hahaha.
Needless to say there were quite a few things that surprised me throughout this first installation of the Draecus Clan series.
Trigger Warnings: Sex Scenes, Stabbing, Fighting, Beheading, Death, War, mentions of Enslavement, and Blood.
One hybrid Fury queen. Three pure-blood Dragon Princes. A reverse harem with a dark fairy tale twist and an epic flair!
My name is Daisy. I’ve been cursed to serve a bad-tempered elemental in my beastly form for centuries.
There’s only one way to lift the curse: a kiss from three true loves. To garner even one is nearly impossible. How am I going to get three?
Then three gorgeous-as-sin, yet clueless dragon princes stumble into my lair. Only they do not come to kiss me. They come to slay me without knowing who I really am. Unless they cut the three heads of the Furies–my heads–or make the Fury Queen fall in love with them, they’ll never shift back to dragons.
Not surprisingly, the princes all choose what they think is the easiest–to behead the beasts.

The Fury Queen’s Harem is quite intriguing indeed. First off, it’s not a wolf-shifter book which I’ve been obsessed with lately. But it IS still a shifter-novel. Dragon shifter, and Fae, to be exact. There are other supernatural species involved in this book, like vampires, demons, and sentient plants who guard their jungle.
Trigger Warnings: Fighting, Blood, *lots of* Sex Scenes, Drugging, Kidnapping, and Murder. Please note that there may be possible triggers that I’ve missed.
Little fox shifter in a big bad wolf’s world.
My day started like every other day, my colleagues laughing at the tiny fox while I took down a red cap twice my size. It ended with an undercover job with three incredibly hot guys who are now my fake husbands.
This was the stuff of dreams. If the job went well I’d get a promotion and the big undercover jobs would become my norm. Except things never go quite to plan do they?
We were supposed to watch the pack dealing in a deadly and highly illegal drug. Except I spotted something else, something much bigger and more far reaching. Soon we were pulled into the fae courts, the elite dragon houses, and worse; there might be ties to the agency I’d dreamt of working for since I was a little girl.
Time to show the world just how well this tiny fox kicks ass.
This is a standalone reverse harem romance with fake relationships, three smoking hot shifter guys, and a tiny fox heroine with a point to prove.

Let’s start off with mentioning that there quite a few sex scenes within Outfoxed. For real. And the last sex scene in the book (pretty much the end scene to this first novel) is one big incredibly detailed and unnessecarily descriptive sex scene that I honestly skimmed over. Now…I’m all for sex scenes in books. However, the last one that I’m mentioning was too much for me. Yikes.

The Rise of Eden was pretty good! I read this right after finishing The Dark Eden (book 2). Let me tell you, this third book is one hell of a whirlwind.
