Dead Wolf Walking (Bad Moon Academy #1)

One bite changed my life.

I was living life to the fullest when a wolf attacked.

Now I’ve been ripped from my home and shipped off to Bad Moon Academy, a place for changed wolves. Or so I’m told.

There’s something sinister lurking within the confines of the academy, and I’m starting to think I was brought here as a sacrifice.

This is a dark academy reverse harem with dangerously possessive shifters.

“Pack magic prevents unauthorized people from leaving. You haven’t been granted permission to leave.” He runs a finger over one of the cuts on my palm.

I hiss. “The whole stabbing part seems a bit extreme.”

He hums and sniffs my palm. “This won’t do.” Slipping his tongue past his lips, he licks my hand.

“Hey, gross. Don’t.” I try to yank away again, but his hold tightens.

Lifting his gaze to meet mine, he hovers his mouth above my skin. “Would you rather the vampires smell your blood and come for you?”

Vampires?

I wrinkle my nose and press my eyebrows together. “No.”

“Then let me finish.” Strands of dark hair fall across his forehead, and I fight the urge to brush them away from his eyes.

Am I really going to give him permission to lick me?

Do I really want to be eaten by vampires?

Absolutely not.

“Fine, but hurry.”

He smiles and tsks. “You can’t rush perfection, Little Red.”

I press my lips together and watch him lick my wounds clean. He slowly rolls his tongue over the cuts. Once the blood is gone from those, he slips my index finger inside his mouth and sucks on it. My knees knock together, heat flaring low in my belly. With a gasp, I place my hand on his shoulder to stay upright. He chuckles, and the sound vibrates against my finger as he drags his mouth to the end of it and moves to my middle one.

“Draco! Release her.” Carter doesn’t sound happy.

“It’s not what it looks like,” I say over my shoulder. He’s storming toward us and looks ready to knock Draco out. “The gate cut me, and he’s getting rid of the blood before the vampires— “

“Vampires?” Carter scoffs. “Moons, Draco, is that what you told her?”

The man in question swirls his tongue over my bloodied finger and places a chaste kiss at the tip before releasing my wrist, standing, and smirking at Carter.

“I was helping.”

Carter crosses his arms over his chest. “Fucking hell. What is your problem?”

Untamed (Rejected Mate Academy, #1)

E.M. Moore just keeps giving us the best stories.

I read this standalone novel in the Rejected Mate Academy series in less than 3 hours and my emotions are all over the place right now.

The story focuses on Kinsley who has been rejected by her mate, Jonah, for 2 reasons:

1) Not trying to get along with the pack

2) The rumour of her mother having an affair outside her mated marriage and her being the product of said affair

Starting this series it was really difficult (emotionally), because you always expect the word "MATED" to fix 90% of the problems right? Like you can be wary if you don't know the person (as you should girl) but you at least try? But WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND REJECTS THEIR MATE? Moreover, to make this rollercoaster of emotions even worse, the person who gets rejected is the one sent over to Greystone Academy (aka Rejected Mate Academy) and if they don't woo their mates into de-rejecting them they get boot out of the academy and become feral because they do not cannot belong to any pack.

With that knowledge, you can fully understand Kinsley's emotions at the beginning of the story, between letting her wolf swoon over her fated mate and d*ck punching him. Who wouldn't?

As the story progresses we get to see a little bit more of Jonah's true personality and that his intentions may not have been completely spiteful and can be considered somewhat reasonable. So the relationship ships quite easily after the first few chapters due to the angst and intense sexual attraction (and frustration) both MC are feeling.

I think the story was beautifully written, with a well set up plot with its bumps to test the two main characters and a great way to start a series about rejected mates. We definitely meet new characters who can be potential new characters for future novels and I can't wait for those (Side note: Can we get Mia a new mate please? Thanks.).

That said, this HOT angsty paranormal romance story is everything I needed today, and I am sure you will enjoy it if you like fated mates stories. My only advice? Get lots of chocolate!

Three Divisions (Crescentwood #1)

Goodreads | Amazon

Synopsis:

Mum is dead.

The father I never knew has claimed me, and I’ve been uprooted from my world and thrown into a life of privilege.

I’m not welcome here.

Two boys are leading the school to drive me out, and I’m being followed constantly by two more.

Things are much darker here than I thought; Crescentwood is full of dangerous criminals and dirty politicians.

I’m a pawn in a game I don’t know how to play, but I’m stronger than they know.

Trust no one. Corruption rules this town.

***This book is a reverse harem, meaning the FMC will have three or more love interests.

The book also has trigger warnings for emotional/physical bullying and abuse, violent scenes, reference to suicide and mature content/swearing, so please do not read if you are easily offended or have the mentioned triggers

This book is intended for 18+

I started this book not knowing what I was diving into. The amazing people at Affinity Author Services sent a a digital copy of the book in exchange of my honest review and I did not just read it, I INHALED IT. I read THREE DIVISIONS in one sitting and then immediately after started book 2 (otherwise, I would have fainted) and now I am eagerly waiting for book 3. April can't come soon enough.

Let's back up a bit. So the story starts with the POV from a guy who is clear is the "bad guy here" trying to expand his less than legal business to higher levels (not going to lie I thought he was going to be one of the characters we needed to root for and I was already judging). But then, the story starts with Sophie. A strong MC where life has moulded her to be resilient and always fall on her 2 feet. Something happens to her where she ends up being shipped to the US to live with her father, who she has never heard of before.

However, the new expected improvement in life, soon becomes clear that it's not that. Her father is clearly dangerous and she stepped into a school where the 2 guys from the wealthiest families (also the hottest) hate her just by association to her father, and into a world where she is being monitored, followed around and forced to make friends.

Can I just say that Ty and Aiden are my favourite characters? There I said it.

This story, well the series in general, is dark and twisted. Everything you expect in a story where gangs are involved and the wealthy can do anything they want. R.A. Smyth did a great job balancing the plot with mystery and building the relationships between all the characters, as well as leading to the plot twists and discoveries we unravel at the end of the book.

Highly recommend this RH romance suspense if you enjoy bully romance, a bit of suspense and some dark scenes from time to time. I am definitely staying here and waiting for book 3.
