What if instead of heeding the warnings, Red Riding Hood learned to run with the wolves?

RED'S HOOD is a modern-day paranormal romance inspired by Red Riding Hood. With its sizzling chemistry, playful banter, and gut-wrenching plot, you won't want to miss it.

Hoping to provide a better life for her family, Roan Brown took a loan from the wrong crew. When they come to collect and she’s short, the thing she cares about most is taken as collateral. Desperate and willing to do whatever it takes to get it back, she turns to Obol Reed—the town’s newest resident.

Little does she know, he has an agenda of his own.

Obol Reed is traveling the country, on a mission to cut loose ends from his past. It’s no coincidence his journey includes only small-towns with one thing in common—werewolves. During his latest stop, rather than unearth the answers he seeks, he finds a new mystery in Roan Brown—beautiful, sassy, and in over her head.

To save Roan from herself, Obol will make a choice that’ll change their lives forever.

In a town where secrets have claws and ignorance is deadly, can a cynic who believes magic is "ridiculous" and an outcast with a dark secret—or two—trust each other enough to survive? As stakes rise, revelations will threaten to shatter everything they know about themselves.

In a continent shaped by ancient secrets and forgotten science, power is measured not only in armies—but in monsters.

For centuries, the Kingdom of Valkalor has ruled through terror, harnessing prehistoric creatures to crush rivals and expand its dominion. Bound beneath the reign of the ruthless King Gadrion, the realm teeters on the edge of total war. When a new external threat emerges—one powerful enough to destroy the fragile balance restraining Gadrion’s ambition—the king seizes his moment.

But his plans begin to unravel when his daughters, Kendra and Cerelia, uncover the horrifying truth behind their father’s designs. Forced into exile and hunted across savage lands, the sisters must navigate a brutal world of political intrigue, assassins, mercenaries, and carnivorous saurians. Their only hope lies in the Eden Vault—a legendary and ancient chamber rumored to wield power over creation itself.

Beauty Meets the Beast (Fairy Tales From the Underworld Book 1) by L. C. Moon

This isn't the fairytale you remember from your childhood. If you are looking for a Beauty and the Beast story with a dark mafia romance twist, this is for you!

Beauty Meets the Beast (Fairy Tales From the Underworld Book 1)

February 24, 2025
Genre: Dark Mafia Romance/ Traumance
💜Dark mafia romance
💜Beauty and the Beast retelling
💜 Forced proximity / captor x captive
💜 Morally black MMC
💜 Touch her and die
💜 I'd burn the world for you
💜 Cat and mouse
💜 Emotional Angst

A traumance. A tragedy. A love story.

Fairy tales weren't always about finding true love with Prince Charming. Once upon a time, they were dark stories about innocence lost, seeking through veiled attempts to make sense of life's unfathomable hardships. Unfit parents turned to evil stepmothers, kindly neighbors became fairy godmothers, while alluring but dangerous men were presented under the guise of the Big Bad Wolf. Through their trials, the heroes were forever changed. For better or worse.

It is a tale as old as time. Good girl meets bad boy; the pure faces the corrupt. Loosely inspired by classic tropes, Fairy Tales From the Underworld breathes new life into age-old motifs, casting them against the backdrop of modern times. Beasts and monsters no longer lurk in shadows but now inhabit our protagonists, who are plagued by the ceaseless whispers of their inner demons.

A Bedtime Story is not a romance, but a raw erotic tale chronicling the twisted love affair between two profoundly broken souls: the child of the moon and the child of the underworld. Their paths were never meant to cross… And yet, by a twist of fate, Beauty meets the Beast, plunging into a world of lies, deceit and debauchery, where her only salvation lies in the hands of her captor.

As Part I of the Fairy Tales From the Underworld saga, this first installment delves deeply into the psyche of its characters, offering a poignant exploration of the relentless pull between torment and passion in the aftermath of trauma.

(Please note, this book contains graphic sexual content and deals with heavy subject matter, suitable for readers 18+.)

Please note all these topics are treated with tact and respect. They are there to help better understand the main characters, their behaviour and choices, and ultimately what shapes their dynamic.

Kidnapping, captivity, dubious consent, murders and sex-trafficking, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, drug use and addiction.
Please note that book 1 does NOT end in HEA, it actually ends on a sad cliffhanger. But the series as a whole will end in HEA

Book Review: The Shop on Hidden Lane by Jayne Ann Krentz

The Shop on Hidden Lane
by Jayne Ann Krentz
January 6, 2026
Genre: Romantic Suspense
New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz dives into an enthralling new romantic suspense novel filled with deeply entrenched grudges, psychic dangers, and a conspiracy that threatens not only two families but also the entire paranormal community.

The Harper and the Wells families have regarded each other with deep suspicion for four generations. The Harpers have been known to offer their psychic talents for less-than-legal purposes, and the powerful Wells clan has a reputation for playing both sides of the street. But for all the years of history and distrust between them, there is a mysterious pact binding the two. They share the responsibility for protecting a long-buried and very dangerous secret.

Sophy Harper and Luke Wells are shocked to learn that her aunt and his uncle have been sleeping together—and now they are both missing. Not only that, but the last traces of them are at the scene of a murder soaked in negative paranormal energy. Clearly, someone is willing to kill to obtain the secret their families have been charged with protecting. Despite their mutual distrust, which, as far as Sophy is concerned extends to Luke’s hellhound of a dog, they both know that the terms of the pact must be honored.

Their investigation uncovers a psychic trail leading to a bizarre desert art colony where nothing is as it seems. But Luke and Sophy are concealing a few secrets, too. By a strange twist of fate, a Harper and a Wells have no choice but to trust each other and the fierce attraction that is binding them as surely as the pact between the families.

I've been watching reruns of a show my Mom loved, Physic. This story came along at the exact right time; it feels like we really needed a psychic detective to help these folks out. I loved that this story was delivered in a classic "who-done-it" style, but at the pace of all the modern-day paranormal lore I love.

If you like Clue or playing any type of detective game, you will enjoy this one. It could have used some more comedy at parts to just keep things light, but overall it was certainly enjoyable and had me sucked in till the very end.

Never felt like a fake or forced story, and that can be really tricky in this genre. By the end, I was ready for more! Worth a read on a lazy weekend.
