For someone who doesn’t have and doesn’t want children, I sure do read a lot of intense parenting horror stories 😂.

After happening upon a children’s birthday party they weren’t invited to, Lola and Ian decide to have a baby as an attempt to reconnect with their old friends. While happy with their current lifestyle, they wonder if they are missing out on this experience.

When pregnancy and parenthood prove to be more difficult than expected, cracks start to form in the foundation of their relationship. Are they evil for not feeling a loving connection with their child? For missing the life before he came? Or is there something wrong with this seemingly perfect boy?

The character building in this story was incredible. Lola and Ian are charismatic and relatable (who hasn’t gone through an identity crisis, ha) and the tension of something being very wrong builds in a very propulsive way.

There is a supernatural element to the story that I personally could’ve used more of, but this book is brisk even though it’s over 400 pages.

If you want a creepy look at the extremes of parenthood I’d definitely recommend this one.

Thank you to Robert Ottonefor providing me with an arc of your book.

My name is Ellie Troy, and my brother, Arden, would kill me if he knew what I was up to. I’m not even kidding.

It involves hot hockey player Nils Sten. He plays for the Atlanta Thunder and happens to be my overprotective brother’s best friend and teammate.

He’s also my secret crush.

Unfortunately for me, Arden wouldn’t approve of anything happening between me and Nils. Not now, not ever.

Too bad, because I’m going to make it happen—Nils will be mine, maybe for just one night of fun, or maybe for forever.

A Deal with the Shadow King: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Curse of the Fae Book 1) by Anya J. Cosgrove is releasing May 9th!

My father sold me to the Shadow King.

I would kill for a normal life, but my father took a reckless gamble, and I must pay the price. His betrayal forces me to live in Faerie with king Damian and grow my magic, even though it’s forbidden.

Now, I must learn to protect myself from the nightmares, dreams, and fantasies that govern this mysterious realm.

If I don’t, my kingdom will fall.

𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 from @britneyking_ ➜ Kill Me Tomorrow: A Psychological Thriller is 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 and #OnTour #Reviews #OneClick today ➜ http://bit.ly/killmetomorrowuniv 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 From the bestselling author of The Social Affair and HER comes a mind-bending thriller that's soaked with raw sensuality, as an investigator’s search takes a wicked turn when he meets a beautiful and provocative woman. Ali is a sex therapist-slash-guru, famous for the work she does helping others find pleasure. The problem: Ali can never quite find it for herself. Her life’s work makes nothing taboo, nothing off limits. And she’s tried everything short of murder. Although, with the way things are going, it’s not off the table. When Ethan Lane is hired to investigate the death of a wealthy bachelor, he isn’t expecting to stumble into a string of murders. The victims are men, and all members of a popular dating app. Operating undercover with a profile of his own, he meets the woman of his dreams—who also happens to be his best suspect. The question: Can Lane stay alive long enough to prove his theory? And does he want to?

Left-Handed Monkey Wrench: An OPS Protector Romance by Giulia Lagomarsino is releasing on April 22nd!

A few days in the jungle with her changed my world.

The grumpy, angry man who used to reside in my body was gone, replaced with someone who knew how to smile.

But just as quickly as this new man emerged, I was replaced with my former self. And that’s when I knew I would go to any lengths to find her again.

Yet, even as I moved heaven and earth to find her, danger was lurking. I didn’t know who was after her or why. The urge to protect her was stronger than ever. And with the help of an old friend, we might just get out of this alive.

I’ve always believed that something good can come out of something tragic. But as I stood in that forest looking over the cliff, I struggled to see how that could be true.

The fabulous @girlnovelist has done it again! I adore the cover of my upcoming release, STEALING TIME!!! #coverreveal #AlteredHeroesSeries #StealingTime #ComingSoon #AprilRelease #KrisNorrisIsACoverArtGoddess https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvxgo-hAZIW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bob8wbka3vac
