My Thoughts

I love to read YA books, especially when it involves an academy and a murder! The pacing is good and so is the suspense! I did like the short chapters as I finished this quite fast. The characters were very well-written and realistic. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves young adult books and suspense!

Thank you to PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers GroupĀ |Ā G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers,Ā and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

šŸ’€Happy for now

One night.
Three lives lost.
Memories, poof, gone.

Everyone blames me—his friends, my best friend—all gone. I can’t remember what happened, but Xaden Devlin does.
He’s the devil wrapped in a beautiful package.
I'm a moth to his flame.
And he’s made it his mission to destroy me.
He’s the heir to the most feared family in town—cold, cruel, and carved from vengeance.
He calls me Tink, a cruel reminder that
ā€œFairies die when no one believes in them anymore.ā€
The more he taunts me, the more I see the truth in his eyes…
The truth about that night.
The truth about my family.
And most of all the truth about us.
Maybe the devil isn’t the monster after all.
Maybe I am.

BLURB

They say The Colony Carnivale appears without warning—rolling into forgotten towns under blood-red skies, offering laughter, lights, and salvation for the bored and broken. But beneath the painted tents, hides a different sin, each act a different obsession. Lust. Power. Revenge. Fear. The Carnivale feeds on it all—and so do the souls trapped inside.. The games are rigged, the prizes are cursed, and the performers aren’t quite human. So buy your ticket, brave the insanity, and pray the lights go out after you do. Because once you enter, the show owns you. Welcome to The Colony Carnivale—where the fun never dies, it just screams louder.

In the shadowy fringes, where twilight devours daylight and desires turn deadly, Judy and Gid prowl for willing souls. Raised as twisted twins by a man who broke them beyond repair, they spend the day luring thrill-seekers, dosing them with hallucinogens and dragging them into a nightmarish spectacle of sex, torture, and slaughter.

But as The Colony's main event, Delirium, unfolds in a frenzy of blood play, crucifixion, and cannibalistic ecstasy, a spectral figure haunts the edges. An unknown clown with a savage smile who vanishes like smoke while leaving chaos in her wake. Is she a ghost, a curse, or something far more carnal?

This erotic horror novella will plunge you into the abyss of human depravity. Buckle up for a deranged ride of masked mayhem, drug-fueled depravity, and forbidden pleasures that might just Coax you to The Colony's eternal embrace. Perfect for fans of extreme horror who crave the horrific intertwined with the erotic.

Forgive me, Father… for I’ve sinned, and the Dollhouse has carved those sins into me.

I don’t know who they are beneath the masks—or why they locked me inside their perfect little nightmare—but they hunted me, cornered me, pushed me past every boundary I thought I had.
Fear was supposed to break me. Instead, they taught me to crave the darkness I should have run from.

I need absolution, Father.

I need to escape. Because if I don’t get out soon, I can’t take down the Cosa Nostra’s don.

I swear I’ll try to be a good girl and forget what the Dollhouse awakened in me. I promise to try to stop craving the dirty things they did to me over Easter weekend.

From your sinfully naughty girl,

Jenna Xxx

šŸš€ You Shouldn't Have Answered byĀ @iam_a_em

Aurelia Vale had it all: a perfect family, a perfect fiancƩ, a career as a piano prodigy, and a future carefully planned before her. Then, in one night, everything disappeared. A tragic accident shattered her life, leaving her as the only one who survived.

When a small ad in the back of a newspaper offers her ninety days of solitude at a cliffside gothic mansion in Mendocino, California, Aurelia takes it as a sign to disappear.

The first night is easy. By the second, she feels eyes on her. Someone is watching her, leaving letters on her doorstep and calling her in the middle of the night. Eventually, she had enough and answered only one call.

And the man who has been watching her finally appears.

ā€œYou shouldn’t have answered,ā€ the words she will never forget.

This is a psychological thriller and dark romance set in the 90s, a tragic and emotional story filled with trauma and grief that will stay with you long after the final page.
