ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 25, 2022

Pride can kill you… but stroking it is beautiful.

I’m one client away from making seven figures this year. Just one. Why am I suddenly surrounded by people with such a lack of pride?! Deciding I need to step away and come at it with fresh eyes another day, I leave my office.

And step into death at the hands of a psychopath. It turns out this crazy man is a son of Satan and he’s chosen me to be his queen. Without his queen, his circle of Hell is falling into ruin and chaos because he and his brothers have been cursed and it’s up to a woman to save his ass. But really, this is what karma gives me to work with?! No wonder Pride is a shitstorm.

No. If I’m going to be queen, I’m going to do it with demons worth my time, and those responsible for my death – yes, it was apparently a group effort, a fucking bet they made between them – are just not cut out for the job.

The prideful circle of Hell is falling further into bedlam and it’s up to me to master its magic that my dear Price of Pride cannot touch. No sweat. I got this.

REVIEW: Part of a series from multiple authors, this one is from Crea Reitan. Another why choose themed story from this author.

This one has our FMC dying!

Then being pursued by a group of demons determined to make her theirs!

Being a good lawyer and making money does sound a little prideful. And when

If you thought you knew anything about Hell, Crea will make you see differently. This Circle belongs to Malak (and he’s losing control of his magic, needs a mate to restore it, or he’s going to lose his throne!

This book has a few funny moments. The way Annuka looks at life was definitely a different way and it did make her a little less likeable until I got to know her, but her reasons for her behaviour does make more sense the more you read.

And how does one react to being killed by one of the demons she’s suppose to be with? Well Annuka handles it pretty well, she certainly won’t make it easy for the group of demons who want to make her theirs! She’s a strong willed individual and won’t be anyone’s doormat, it’s going to be a partnership or nothing!

Malak and the group of demons that want to claim Annuka (well this is a why choose book ?) are all different and bring something unique to this story. A little more interaction or thoughts from Malak might have been nice (but that’s my personal opinion)

So can Malak and his demons claim Annuka? It’s going to take a lot of persuasion (they get off on the wrong foot and continually get it wrong!) can they really all share one Queen without jealousy raising its ugly head?

You don’t need to read any of the other books in this series, you won’t wonder where or who fits in the timeline.

I really enjoy Crea’s work, she put lots of thought into each book, and there isn’t one book that copied another, all are unique. Plenty of action and drama.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 21, 2022

Sacred Tongue Academy. Or as the students call it, Satan’s Touch Academy.

Five best friends, a small coven of witches, embark on their culminating project for their graduate degree—to start and successfully run their own business. Their shop’s name? A Lick of Magic. And what are they selling? Why, only magically enhanced sex toys, of course.

E, Dev, Sin, Indie, and Crea have been thick as thieves since they met, and as the year starts with the launch of their shop, they expect it to go as any other. But it quickly becomes apparent this is not the smooth sailing final two years they all planned as they’re sucked into the school’s hidden secret society. Especially when they meet a group of sexy as Hell men that they’re sure cannot be human. Not being human isn’t a big deal, of course – not in their world. But why are they pretending to be?

In a school known for its dark corners, growls in the dark, noises behind closed doors, and a death or two each year, the girls now have to add ‘staying off the radar of the society that’s proving to be anything than what it appears’ to their agendas.

Five book series. Each will be following one of the five witches as they create their magical sex toys and the hilarity that comes with it, struggle to run a successful business and still keep their grades up, and you know – survive the claws of the secret society. All while falling into steamy relationships that they had not planned on.

This is a polyamorous story with content not suitable for those under 18 years of age due to graphic scenes.

REVIEW: A high school story (reverse harem) which seems to be in thing for writers to do at the moment.  

It’s a five book series with the stories focusing around five friends and each book will be following one female as she finds love in the high school she attends. 

E, Dev, Sin, Indie, and Crea have known each other for a long time, their plan to make money and finish their education is the only thing on their minds at the moment. Young witches learning their trade at the same time as their schooling might prove a bit of a challenge, but together they intend to succeed in both magic and academia. But it’s not as easy at that (well there wouldn’t be much of a story otherwise) 

And then add a group of young supernaturals males passing themselves off as human! 

I giggled and laughed through most of the book. Magically enhanced s€x toys!! But it’s an idea I haven’t read about before so I was intrigued as to where the author would take this book (and the series) and the author used the idea really well. 

We focus on Crea in this book, but there are POV (points of view) from the other girls and the males that  interact within the book. And in some parts of the book that does become a little hectic! We also have background and plot to fill in. 

Strange things are happening at the school, and a lot of the time it’s not really mentioned, but it does upset the group of girls and they intend to find out what’s going on a d how they can put a stop to it….. 

I’ve read this author a few times and your always guaranteed a thrilling ride. 

Cliffhanger? A little one, but it’s more of follow on rather than a huge cliffhanger. And I felt it was a HFN (happy first now) rather that a HEA (happy ever after)

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 2, 2022

What do you see when you look into the windows of Hell?

I’ve always been a bit of a thrill seeker – questioned the unknown and the impossible. I want answers to everything! So when a new organization pops up in an old abandoned elderly facility promising that they can allow you to see into the pits of Hell, I’m first on the list to sign up. When my time finally comes and I’m offered a week’s long stay at Hell View Manor, I jump at the chance.

I’m enthralled with what I see. Fascinated by the torture, the screaming souls, and the demons administering the eternal punishments. Although we’re told the windows are a one way glass, I start to doubt that they are when a man being tortured begins to stare straight at me through the window. And then he starts talking to me. He’s telling me he doesn’t belong there. He was framed. Innocent. And he begs me to help.

As I begin to poke around, it feels as if there are eyes on me wherever I go. I’m being watched – stalked. And then I’m pretty sure I accidentally break one of Hell’s windows and it’s no longer a one way view but a doorway in. Now I wonder if I’m going to get sucked into Hell. If I’ll be able to escape Hell View Manor. Or if I even want to leave.

That’s when I meet the president of the company and I swear, I’m looking at the Devil himself.

This is a polyamorous story with content not suitable for those under 18 years of age due to graphic content.

••••••

REVIEW:What do you get when you add a house that isn’t a house, but a prison that punishes souls by demons, and a character that’s fascinated with the house?

You have a story that you can’t put down.

I loved this book, a fast paced action story that had characters you’ll love. Really well thought out and written. It’s an original idea and has the potential to be a series.

When Itani receives a ticket to go view the house, to say she’s excited is an understatement. It’s a day she’s been looking forward to for a while. She’s a ghost hunter, she has all the equipment and knows how to use it. But will reality match her imagination?

The story happens over a week. So it’s a little fast in some places, in fact a few more chapters to grow the characters a little more wouldn’t have hurt the book in the slightest. I know there is a lot to pack into a week, but in places it did feel rushed, and some characters got more pages than others.

I liked how the visitors were summed up and we were given background on them all, and the reasons why they were sent the invitation.

It sets the scenes pretty well, you can almost imagine the house with it’s one way mirrors and rules to keep the visitors safe. The tension as Itani interacts with both the other visitors and later the occupants of the place….

It’s a RH (reverse harem) read so be aware it’s got lots of spice and in parts it’s an instant love thing.

I liked the idea of a little mystery thrown into the story, it’s not just a group of supernaturals getting the girl.

I liked the premise of humans being sent an invite because they could be on the cusp of falling/walking down the wrong path, and a visit to the manor may/may not put them back on the right path.

The idea of twins being there for each other until the right woman comes along to reunite them appealed to me (one is a demon, one is a ghost). It’s a relatively quick read, but it might also be the fact it’s such a good book that I couldn’t put it down until I had read the whole thing!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date JUNE 23, 2022

I lost everything in a freak accident. My entire family; everything I’d ever cared about – gone in an instant. Unable to bear the constant reminders and emptiness of my life, I moved across the country to dull the loss, hopefully falling into the anonymity of a large city where even an alpha could disappear.

Starting over was never in my plans. All I wanted was to blend in and let life pass me by. Live in my modest studio apartment with my mindless job as an absentee owner of a popular juice bar downtown.

I spent my days with headphones in as I worked through each machine at the gym, grabbing a juice from my cafe on the way home, and drowning myself in the solitude of my house.

And then I met the only thing I’d never managed to obtain with my pack – an omega who made everything in me spark. And in the next breath, a shy beta who made my most basic instincts rear up and want to wrap her in my arms and give her the world.

Try as I may, I can’t seem to run far enough away from either of them. Once we meet, something keeps pulling us back together at every corner. Just as I start to give in and wrap myself in their pack that consists of two other alphas, I find out that the freak accident that took my first pack from me wasn’t an accident at all.

And now I’m being hunted by the murderers who intend to finish the job.

•••••

REVIEW:Another author that’s going on my author to read list. A really good read, and I’m hoping this will be the start of a new series.

Written in multiple points of view (which sometimes can get a little confusing) But this one had clear characters so I didn’t get confused at all. It’s a story set in the Omegaverse (a universe where Alpha/Beta/Omega are an everyday occurrence, it can be human or shifter)

Main characters are: Terence (who is an alpha) Kaiser (the omega) Marley (beta) Phynn and Adrian (who are both alpha’s)

It’s full of emotion, full of action and I couldn’t put it down, have tissues handy and chocolate at the ready! Twists and a few sudden turns will have you trying to read the pages faster. ?

Terence starts the story. A few weeks ago he’d lost his pack in an accident, totally bereft, totally at a loss at which direction his life would go…

We then follow him as he goes through the motions of shutting down his emotions, we watch as he cuts contact with everyone, he interacts with no one!

Being an absent/silent owner in the juice shop his pack owned is his only source of contact, the gym is where he goes to tire himself out! And that’s his life! Meeting Kaiser should have been a happy moment (he and his pack were always searching for an omega to add to their home) but it’s only bringing back sad memories, so when he meets Marley in the same moment as Kaiser, walking away is the only course of action. He can’t, he won’t put himself through it again! But Kaiser and Marley aren’t willing to let him get away, Kaiser might be the omega, but he has the pack wrapped around his finger, Phynn and Adrian now want to meet the alpha who made their beta and Omega decide they need an additional alpha added to the pack.

There is M/M content, so if it’s not your thing I’d suggest you not pick it up. There is also MFM, it’s a reverse harem in full swing. It is a slow burn, but once it gets going …… ?

You can’t but hope Terence accepts his feelings for a potentially new pack. You hope Marley and Kaiser can persuade Terence to join their pack.

And when Terence finds out his old pack was actually murdered and not a car accident his first thought is he should have been with them. Can he find out who and why his old pack was murdered before he loses his new pack?

I loved this book and I can’t wait to return to it at some point.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

By the time Lena was able to wake the monster god and destroy the idols, too many immortal lives had already been lost, and the camp was decimated in the process. Unable to stand the trauma, the gods move on and become a little more domestic.

While Lena still faces some personal challenges that require her to come to terms with many aspects of her life, she and the men she’s gathered start to truly settle into a home all their own. But there are obstacles in her life that continue to make Lena feel helpless: her best friend’s empty marriage, the looming dread of creating an eighth Onama, and Syna is stuck mid-transition into a vampire.

And then they learn that they didn’t just build their new neighborhood outside a mortal town, but also outside a nest of fire-breathers. And one of these hotheads is beginning to challenge Delete as his beast lays claim to Lena as his mate.

••••••

REVIEW:Definitely not a series to be read out of order, if you do then expect to be a little confused!

After battling the false gods, Lena and her community need to move, it’s no longer safe! But moving to a new home comes with lots of other challenges (and a few surprises)

We have a few new faces joining in this book, and I can’t wait to see where they take the story.

One of the other characters I’ve been reading avidly about gets her HFN (happy for now) ending, she’s been through a lot, so when it’s her turn I hope she gets a better deal than of late.

What this book lacks in action is made up with solid storylines. You don’t need to go at 100 miles an hour all through the book, the s€x scenes don’t need to last for chapters ? continuity and clarity are the key words when dealing with lots of characters. And you definitely get that in this book. I don’t get confused as I did with book one, lots of the characters are becoming firm favourites.,

I’m hoping there will be a few loose ends tied up in the next book (they won’t majorly become an issue, but they were serious enough to be mentioned) ?

Is this a RH (reverse harem) I’d say yes, but there are also dynamics within Lena and her lovers (a little m/m action) that doesn’t make it completely focused on her.

So where does this book take us? It’s possibly starting a new plot. We battled the idols, so that’s done (maybe) we now need to settle down into the new neighbourhood and see where it takes us…..

I could happily watch this as a tv series (a movie wouldn’t be long enough and I’d hate for them to cut too much out) solid characters and a really well thought out storyline.

But if your going to read it, then definitely start at the beginning.

MORTAL SOULS
(Immortal Stream: Children of the Gods Book 1)
by Crea Reitan
Release Date:June 15, 2020
Genre: adult, fantasy, paranormal

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK:

“My name is Lena. I’m not a God. I’m not even a hero. But this is my adventure: Through the Valley of the Kings to retrieve Pandora’s Box – stolen by the Seven Deadly Sins. Into the Evenfall Mansion to wage battle against a Fire Elemental. To the Akropolis to burn the awoken Nightmares. Through the Underworld to retrieve my soul from the rings of Chaos. Into Mount Olympus to face the big 12.

“At least I have the help of my friends who are gods.”

This isn’t your typical story about Greek gods. If you’re expecting to read about how a girl was fated for a god who will now love only her for the rest of eternity, or perhaps a goddess who had been waiting hundreds of years just to fall in love with that single boy and now her life is complete… well, this is not that story.

These gods are beautiful and they know it. They’re promiscuous and find no reason to hide it. They stay angry for hundreds of years, plotting their petty revenge for even the most insignificant of slights. If you’re a means to an end, they have no qualms about manipulating you to obtain the outcome they desire. That includes your death. Humans, as fun as they are for the gods, are disposable since their life only registers with a god for less than a heartbeat in their eternity.

Join Lena as she navigates her way through the world of the gods with all their beautiful temptation and frightening adversaries. She adventures through the deadly and enchanted. By her side, and sometimes in her bed, are her friends, an array of terrifying, gorgeous beings. And, increasingly, as she journeys through each book, her eyes are opened a little more to the truth of what the gods are: savage, unforgiving, fickle, and ridiculously promiscuous.

Except that, in the end, gods don’t actually have friends. They don’t trust each other or any other soul. So who Lena can trust in a world that has turned her life upside down is never really clear.

•••••••

REVIEW: I’ve read a few books by this author before, and noticing these on KU (kindle unlimited) I decided to give them a go (there is nine books in this series so far)

I really liked the pictures Gods family tree and their domains, it’s something I kept going back too, and the back pages have it in more detail.

Book one sets the scene, Olena (Lena) comes from Rhode Island, she’s come to wherever this is to study (I’m thinking this could be the start of a bully romance?) not really knowing anyone is a little daunting , so when the resident hot guy volunteers to show her around she’s a little apprehensive!

The setting of the scenes are detailed and well thought out. The characters are either going to be the ones you root for, or your going to hate. And for a while I wasn’t too keen on any of them! Petty, spiteful and filled with self importance!

It did make for an interesting read, the gods don’t see monogamy or love important, they are only out for themselves. There is a lot of information to process, but once Lena settles down and makes a few friends the characters are easier to follow.

Harry Potter/The Maze/Hunger Games all spring to mind (and I personally think the series would make a great tv series.)

I love Greek mythology, and love reading different spins on the stories we already know and love.

Am I looking forward to reading book two? I think I am.

GODS OF IDOLS
(Immortal Stream: Children of the Gods Book 7)
by Crea Reitan
Release Date:January 21, 2022
Genre: adult, fantasy, paranormal

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK:

LITTLE NIGHTMARES. LITTLE MONSTERS. TERRORS.
The Idols are coming.

They’ve known for two years that the Idols are coming. Despite all the research and preparation, Lena still doesn’t truly understand what that will entail. All she knows is that they drove the local vampire colony mad with bloodlust that compelled them into a violent murder spree before the previous uhnupte sent the idols to their graves until they learned civility several millennia ago.

Lena and her friends know that the idols are not civil. So what has freed them, you ask? The necromancer from a few years ago had disturbed their tomb while he called on the long dead in a misguided effort to get his girlfriend back, allowing the idols to work themselves free. Now camp is filled with their tell-tale warning: the scent of pine, peaches, and rot.

They’ve gathered a whole plethora of immortals from many pantheons to assist in taking down the idols. Yes, Lena is there, the unimpressed vessel to the monster god. But she feels its destructive core and is too afraid to embrace its power.

However, she may not have a choice when she finds her friends falling to what appears to be their permanent deaths.

•••••••

REVIEW:Book seven in this series, and it’s definitely not a series you can dip in and out of, they do need to be read in order…..

I like the beginnings of the book, you get a refresher of who is who, what they’ve been doing and their strengths and weaknesses. The names and designations of mortals/vampires/demons/gods do take a little getting use to. In fact some names I can’t pronounce so its usually abbreviated. But the index definitely helps, it also stops the author from repeating themselves too many times.

The gods still like to dabble/sleep with one another, but as the series progresses I do get a sense of cohesion, they might still fool around with one another but nearly as much as they use to.

Lena is the main character in this series, but we do to visit with other people, and I think this keeps the story from getting boring. She has lovers/powers/happiness. But with the imminent arrival of the idols, Lena isn’t sure where this is going……

Idols are false gods, but they’ve grown in power and now threaten the gods and their existence. It’s Lena’s job to stop them, but her powers aren’t ready, she’s still getting use to them.

I like these books because they don’t end on a cliffhanger, not all the problems are solved within the book but a few are (and those are dealt with as the story progresses)

The ending to this book did have me wondering where this would lead Lena to next.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Ira is a Fixer, a child raised and trained to “fix” broken fairy tales by an organization the Fixers refer to as DeadEnd. Because once you enter a fairy tale, there’s no getting out.

Ira has been assigned to Neverland. You know Neverland, where Peter Pan lived because he didn’t want to grow up. Neverland, with fairies and pirates. Neverland, which has consumed thirty-one Fixers before Ira and has been dubbed “toxic” by the Operators of DeadEnd. But Neverland needs to be fixed. It’s been toxic so long that every Neverland story in the real world is being transformed into something entirely not child friendly.

Ira comes from a long line of Fixers. Every female in her family for four generations had been Fixers. She’d been at DeadEnd since she was seven. And when she was assigned her world, Ira was ecstatic. She studied every rendition of Neverland, loving the new adult twists. She was psyched to see what was in store for her.

But when she enters Neverland by falling endlessly through the stars, she is not at all prepared for how dark and broken it is. There are some children, but the violence far outweighs the lighthearted, fun, make-believe world she’d imagined. And Peter Pan… well, he was not at all a child anymore.

She was equally disturbed to find that pirates, fairies, and mermaids were the least of her worries. And disheartened to discover that she has no idea what the true problem is. Where the toxin comes from. What had broken their fairy tale. Never mind how to fix it.

However, Ira was not at all disappointed to be surrounded by wonderful men. All of which were big, gorgeous, and interested – except for the elusive Pan. But who should she choose? Can she trust them? Will they help her fix their world, or are they only interested in climbing into her bed? And why was there a weird lack of women in Neverland?

Everything seems endlessly messed up and is getting less clear as she moves along. It isn’t for quite some time that she realizes the fairy tale she’s been sent in to fix has actually been infected by another…

•••••

REVIEW:The final chapter in Ira, Elidih, Shade, Akule, Lirit, Nev and Pan’s story is finally here!

This is the fourth and final book, so reading the previous three books is a must as it will make this one clearer.

Ira has had a real battle trying to find the knowledge and the battle skills to beat the wolf that’s trying to kill the lost boys! Constantly fighting with Pan doesn’t help either, but moments have them looking at one another with more than hate in their eyes (but it doesn’t last long!)

The battles in this book are intense and vibrant in their details. I’d watch this as a movie or series (might have to be an +18 ?) it’s kept me locked to the pages until the eyes can’t stay open any more (?)

Demons and vampires are added to Ira’s problems, and when Pan suggests they visit the fairies ?‍♂️ to sprinkle dust over Ira to help her fight the wolf, it all just a little too much for her!

Throw in Pan stirring things up with her group of men, you have to wonder when Ira will snap with Pan!

I’ve mentioned Nev (Never Say) as one of Ira’s partners, and we do have a few more, but I have a soft spot for Nev (being the first person Ira meets) he’s the glue that keeps them together, he’s also the voice of reason, but that’s not to say he doesn’t get jealous when men look at Ira (who aren’t part of her ever growing harem) I also liked how he is with Pan (he’s the only one allowed to call him Peter) and how he keeps pushing Pan to accept Ira.

So will Ira be able to bring together different factions of NeverLand together to fight the wolf? Maybe if she wasn’t fighting pirates and vampires all the time she might succeed.

I honestly was kept guessing with the story, yes you could predict a few things that would happen, but the death of a character did catch me by surprise! And the fact Ira and Pan didn’t fall for each other straight away.

With each book Ira grows as a character, becoming more aware of herself and the powers she’s beginning to wield. Her confidence does take a knock or two, but she rolls with the punches, never letting the toxins that are trying to destroy NeverLand get her down.

I have to admit I’d not read this author before. But I’m definitely going to find out if Ira’s friends (from her home world) have books.

The whole series was just great.

I liked how Pan and Ira didn’t click immediately, in fact through the whole series I did wonder if they could even be friends let alone lovers!

Cleverly written and executed perfectly. I’d recommend reading this series in order, and I’d recommend you read them now ? I’ll never look at NeverLand and Peter Pan in the same way again ?

NEVERWITH
Neverland: Chronicles of Red 1
by Crea Reitan
Release Date: September 2021

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

REVIEW:This is a four book series, a few triggers in this reverse harem dark romance.

It’s based on the Neverland story (think Peter Pan and crew) but this is no child’s fairytale, this is definitely adult only!

Ira is a fixer (their job is to fix the problem that occurs in a world) I liked the rules that the author had given the “fixers”

-This is a one-way door. Once one enters, the door seals shut. It will only open again when one fails. Otherwise, should one succeed, the door will vanish forever.

-Your sole mission is to set the world right again. There is a wrong afoot, not necessarily the “evil” you might anticipate, but something has knocked the world off balance. Your one and only job, your sole purpose in your life once you walk through that door, is to set the world right.

-As stated in Rule 1, this is a one-way door. You will not be returning, nor will you ever have contact with anyone Outside ever again. Again, your primary goal is to fix the world. But remember along the way that you will need to build a life there. You won’t be coming back. Period.

-Yes, you can die. You are subject to whatever the laws of their universe are. Those who have gone before you have likely died while on their mission.

I really liked the other characters that started their journeys with Ira before travelling into other problem worlds (need to see if they have stories out!) strong women who have trained for years to fix whatever has broken. These worlds have had many “fixers” so are these women the people to mend the worlds that need fixing?

We meet Pan, and he’s not happy to see her. Everyone else, but not him. And the lost boys, well they aren’t boys anymore, they are now young men (so Neverland is ageing them).

Ira needs answers to the many questions she’s has before she can formulate a plan to fix NeverLand.

The first couple of chapters almost made me put the book down, it felt a little jumbled (just persevere) but once we get down to the story, it’s full steam ahead, there is fighting, action, drama and a fair amount of romance. But it’s not Ira and Pan, it’s Nev (short for Never Say).

When Ira finds out that the problem is a beast that is the cause of the break in the fairytale. But finding it is causing problems. Can Ira and her group of “lost boys” actually find the beast?

It does end on a cliff hanger, so I’m eager to see where we go next…..

NEVERSHADE
Neverland: Chronicles of Red 2
by Crea Reitan
Release Date: February 16, 2022

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

REVIEW:With the ending from book one still fresh in my mind, I couldn’t wait to see Ira find herself and the beast. To come into her own, the years of training should hold her in good stead.

Ira has collected a few men along the way, and it’s still ironing out her hate/hate relationship with Pan (boy there is some real tension there and it could go either way!) I get the feeling he’s jealous and so tries to discredit Ira and makes her life hard in general! He should be the one to save NeverLand and I think he’s jealous of the closeness Nev and Ira have (the lost boys are grown men with “needs”) She needs to find balance as this will be her home forever if she fixes the problems NeverLand have, or she’ll die trying! (Just like the other fixers before her have tried)

This book has dark elements that certainly weren’t in any fairytale I read about the lost boys and NeverLand. The characters are well thought out, we also have merfolk, pirates, lost boys, faeries, and things that go bump in the night! We have magic, we also have a little folklore thrown in. We have moments between Pan and Nev which were so cute (Pan almost redeems himself with the way he feels about Nev) we have the fiery/antagonistic relationship with Ira and Pan, and then the relationship with Ira and Nev (which is going from strength to strength)

I like how we get inside everyone’s mind. Each being so different makes the characters easier to remember and to keep separate (lots of characters tend to make the book chaotic) .

I’m really enjoying Ira’s journey to “fix” Neverland and the help she finds along the way. (She’s getting quite the harem) ? I would definitely recommend you read book one first as there is lots going on.

Be warned the book ends really sudden, and on a cliffhanger!!

Book three please…..

NEVERBLOOD
Neverland: Chronicles of Red 3
by Crea Reitan
Release Date: March 23, 2022

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

REVIEW:Book three continues at the same pace books one and two did, so you’ll definitely need to read the previous two books before diving into this one.

Pan and Ira still aren’t getting along, poor Nev is in the middle trying to keep the peace and both people he cares about from killing each other! We also have the rest of her harem dynamic to contend with, and it does get a little confusing.

It’s is still trying to find and fix the problems with NeverLand (the fairytale is broken, and it’s not full of lost boys, they are growing up and becoming angry young men!). But fixing the problem is not as easy as Ira first thought. It seems there is something else at work too! Could Pan be behind it?

We do spend more time with the group and how they interact with one another. There are a few sad moments, and there are a few light hearted moments, but Ira is definitely the center of attention.

And now we are almost at the end of the book and the series, will book four gives us the answers we desperately need, or will Ira become another casualty in this broken world? Will Pan ever accept Ira in his world? Can they work together to figure out how to save NeverLand?

I need book four to find this things out…..

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…

When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!
