One minute I’m working in a bookshop and the next minute a vampire decides to kill me.
Enter the tall, dark, handsome stranger whoās been hanging around the store lately. He has a deal he says I canāt refuse. I can either a) die or b) become a vampire and Queen of the Wayward.
Great choices there, hey? Obviously, I choose option b.
So here I am, trying to get used to not only being undead, but to my new royal role where I’m in charge of the Home of Wayward Souls. Yep, any newly dead spirits that are wild, unhappy, and out to cause trouble. All mine.
Oh, and there’s another tiny thing I need to get my head around. The guy who prevented my demise? He’s Death himself. The grim reaper took a shine to me and wants to take me on a date.
Suck. My. Life.

Release Blitz – Once Upon A Kiss by Carina Rose.

Book Review- Blossom In Winter By Melanie Martins.

Book Review – Blossom In Winter by Melanie Martins.
I thought this was a fantastic dark, romance read⦠in the beginning. However, I felt it inconsistent and slow. The characters needed more development and so did the story, in my opinion. Itās classed as a romantic thriller so I was waiting for something to happen with maybe her best friend Emma, seeing as she liked to torture a boy or 2, but no. Or maybe thereād be some stand-off between her and Alex (the love interest) for Petraās affections as itās later revealed Emma seems to have feelings for her, but no. Instead, apart from at the beginning, Emmaās scenes are fleeting. I donāt even understand why Petra was best friends with her as she was a horrible person!
I couldnāt quite believe the relationship between Petra and Alex Van Dieren or that her dad came around to the idea of Petra dating and ultimately getting engaged to his best friend. The relationship just progressed too quickly!
It surprised me to find out quite late on in the book that Alex was a dom. Although it was hinted at that he had a dark sexual side and had a fetish/kink quite early on in the book, the author didnāt go into any detail until he mentioned about the girls that he had dom/sub relationships with. And this was only mentioned in passing in his narrative, it wasnāt a big revelation.
āIf I recall properly, only my former subs used to beg me to f*ck their asses. Wow. I tremble at the thought that Petra might actually want to become one.ā Page 388
That is well over half way through the story. There IS a contract drawn up but this is in relation to their relationship and the media (heās a wall street businessman in his 40s, sheās just turned 18). Hmm I do wonder what a person living the sub/dom lifestyle would think to this bookā¦
He never actually discusses this dom/sub lifestyle with her so he just comes across as controlling. Especially with him giving her rules such as not leaving the table without his permission and having to change into a nightgown when she does so. But also when he forces her to have sex with no warning at all just so he can selfishly get his rocks off! She had absolutely no idea whatās going on and is so confused and upset by it. Later, out of nowhere, Petraās personality then changes and she goes on to be the dominatrix when she next sees him. I mean, I get her thought process, she wants to beat him at his own game and prove sheās not gonna be walked over BUT this isnāt explained. Itās just as though sheās turned into someone else. Sheās also portrayed as naive yet mature but they donāt really go hand in hand and it was shocking to see her go from virgin to wanting to explore everything sexual within weeks of losing her virginity! Now, I donāt know about you, but I wouldnāt wanna try anal so soon after having sex for the first time!
In the end I just really struggled with this book. The dialogue was cringey at timeās, especially during the sex scenes when Petra would say, āAhhh…ā instead of the author simply stating that she groaned/moaned. I was expecting more thriller alongside the romance but it left a lot to be desired and a lot of unanswered scenes and questions! Scenes which could have lead the book into a thriller but didnāt really take off. The sub genre is more taboo (age-gap plus heās her godfather who brought her up like she was his own) than anything else.
this book was given to me by the author in exchange for an honest review
