Well I am so very sad that The King Verran Brothers stories are all finished. I am going to miss these crazy possessive brothers and their badass mates!!
I think Finnian’s story ended the series beautifully! I don't think I laughed so much in the other two books as I did in this one! The banter between Finn and Taryn was the best, then adding everyone from the other two books in with their banter and brotherly back and forth nonsense was hilarious! Finn and Taryn’s connection was absolutely beautiful and how their story came about was incredible! I felt like I was on this journey with them!
The spiciness in this is on point and the shibari play was *chef’s kiss * absolutely loved how much Finn cared for her and knew her needs without even asking!
I’m really going to miss this world and the characters. I hope Maxwell decides to visit the world again. Hopefully with Dmitri’s story because I would love to know everything about him lol

For as short as this is it sure does pack a creepy punch! I went in to this story completely blind and I’m glad I did! The creep factor was great! Somewhat reminded me of the Ring or the Grudge. I’m curious to see what else this author comes up with in the future, Kenny is definitely an author to keep an eye on!!!

Well, well, well, that was one hell of a story!!! A very interesting revenge story!!
I want to start with if you have any triggers at all please check them before reading this.
This story as horrific as it is, was so beautifully written. What makes The Boyfriend so terrifying is that for the most part this can really happen. I was obsessed right away. I was in a constant state of needing to know what was next, what the next move was, how this was going to play out! It’s a story that captures you from the start and makes you think twice about the people around you!

Can we say toxic much? Man what a story that was!!!!! Fast paced, fun, spiked my anxiety levels up a notch that’s for sure! The tension, it keeps you on your toes no doubt!! It’s a great horror/thriller story! Sylvie is flipping bat shit crazy. The author did an amazing job. Make sure you check your triggers especially if they are mental health related!!!

Well I didn't like frogs, and toads before and I damn sure don't like them now lol!
This was an interesting story that's for sure. Nobody wants to listen to legends of the island and because of that a killer curse is set free! When Justin’s nightmares turn into reality, things get weird!!!! Frogs, toads and iguanas are some of the most dangerous things on this island and don’t they care who their next snack is!!!
This was such a fun and different read! Make sure you snag it when it comes out June 28th! Thank you Angel for the early copy! I enjoyed it!

Dark romance is another one of my favorite genres and I have read some messed up things in that genre including things that happen in this story and they have no effect on me whatsoever, but this by far out beats them all. It's because it's told from a child’s POV. The horror Mella sees, hears and encounters is heartbreaking. And to hear it all in her words crushed me. So many emotions were felt while reading this. Such an amazing story! Why is horror making me cry? 😅 Incredible job Angel!

So note to self….when a tent revival comes to town it’s time to leave!!! 😆
I enjoyed this book, it was different but it was a fun, fast, easy read to me. It has small town horror, cosmic horror, ghost, some mystery, creepy smut and gore! With all the twists in this one I need more answers so I’m gonna have to dive into the other books soon!

Ummm say what? Like wtf did I just read?
I went in blind on this book and I’m so happy that I did.
I felt like my head was all over the place ya know like John's head while reading this lol! Man this was not what I expected at all and my mind is blown! My head is Stuck on the way you brought this story together and how I didn’t catch on to what was really happening.
Such a captivating and unique horror story. I loved it!!!
Ben Young….well played sir, well played!! 🖤🔦🖤🔦🖤

College, virgin mmc, opposites, sports romance, religious trauma tropes…..sign me up!!!!
This is a mm romance about Issac and Oliver and man are they hotttttttt!!! The two are polar opposite but some how completely perfect for each other! Mane poor Issac that kid went through some mess and my heart ached for him. Oliver is rich and cocky and a tad bit of an a$$ lol but he’s absolutely obsessed with Issac!! I really enjoyed this one! I hope Owen is going to have his own book!!!.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
