For this to be Briyanna's first paranormal this was a job well. Even though the book was short a story was given because people can fall in love fast when it’s the right person. We got to experience them getting to know each other, laugh, miss each other and some spice. Kassidy and Luciano were enjoyable characters. They gave a lot of personality and that plot twist was too funny. Can’t wait for the rest of the series.
i’m so glad i read this book! usually i’m not a huge paranormal reader but with this book i didn’t really mind it! i believe this is the first paranormal book this author wrote and i actually liked it! thank you for the author who send me the arc and can’t wait to see what’s gonna happen next in this series!
Luciano is my kind of man. Yes Hunty cater to our girl! Melvin you missed out sir. Karma is a b*tch too! Baby Kassidy is a savage cause what she did in that bathroom babyyy. I bet Melvin ass wont say nothing else to her. This book is the definition of when you know you know. When you know you found your mate you know. The attention to detail that Luciano showed Kass was exceptional. From the arcade to plate to the island to the forest. So much can happen in 24 hours. If he wants you he will show you. I wanted more!!!
Ok, I really enjoyed this! Honestly it was too short and I feel like we deserve more time with these two. There was something that felt so natural between these two, like the chemistry was present. Also the messiness of it all was delicious. I hope we get to visit this universe again!
This was a really quick read, and I really enjoyed the story because it sucks you right in. I was Immediately rooting for Luciano and Kassidy, but I felt like this was a bit too quick. I still have so many questions, and it felt like we didn't get enough time with them as a couple. I would also say the drama is minimal, probably because of the page length.
What he won’t do, his uncle will 🤣🤣🫣⁉️ I loved every second of this!!! I love a good messy love story but a woman being loved properly!!! This was beautiful!!!
Received this as an ARC from Miss Briyanna Michelle herself, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fast paced, kinky and sexy. I loved the banter between the two MCs and their fated mate attraction. Hopefully this will continue into a novel or another novella. This is my first by Briyanna Michelle but it won’t be my last!
This was my first book by this author but it will certainly not be my last! Kass and Luciano have it all - she's a shifter, he's a vampire, they are fated mates, there's chemistry, there's banter, there's some kink and some spice. The characters are well written, and there's some world building. My only complaint is as a novella, there's not enough of anything! I'm begging Briyana Michelle for more of this world and these characters!
This was the first time I’ve read a book by Briyanna Michelle. When I read that sentence before the playlist, I said “oh this is my kinda author”. As the book went on, Briyanna Michelle lived up to the hype I created in my head. “Twenty-Four Hours” has a cute ass couple, some paranormal shit, some 👉🏾👌🏾, and some messy ass drama.
The feelings between Luciano and Kassidy could be felt on pretty much every page after they meet. That mate bond had them whipped af behind each other. I loved how Luciano could easily express his feelings for Kassidy to her and anyone else who would listen.
Kassidy was a firecracker and Luciano was cool, calm, and collected. Kassidy had me cracking up with some of her reactions and Luciano had me smiling nshit with some of the things he’d say.
My only “complaint” about this book is the bathroom scene between Luciano, Kassidy, and Melvin. It was a little OD for me. I was cool with Luciano beating Melvin up, but the events after that I was like “ok. Alright yall”. Like I get the reason why they did it, but I can’t imagine doing that in front of one my niblings—no matter how shitty of a person they are. I also don’t have a fated mate so there’s that. I guess it’s different when that comes into play🤷🏾♀️
& this isn’t a complaint but I just wanted confirmation on how old everyone is because the ages we get don’t make sense. (This doesn’t *really* matter in the grand scheme of the story. It’ll just ease my mind if I know lol.) If you’re like me and get curious about characters’ ages whenever you read, the math ain’t mathing with this one.
Luciano said he’s 35 and Kassidy is 33. But Luciano is also 5 years older than Melvin and Maia which means they’re 30. Cool. Maia and Kassidy could still meet in college. But then later in the book Luciano said he joined the Black Coven Mafia when he was 23 and his sister met her mate. Now unless Luciano’s sister had them kids before she met her mate (which is hard to believe because Melvin is a junior), Melvin and Maia are supposed to be like 7 years old.
But like I said, the specific ages don’t really matter if you’re thinking about reading this book. You can still enjoy Luciano and Kassidy’s story.
This was such a cute and fast read. One thing I have mentioned in other reviews regarding the paranormal trope is how much I enjoy seeing how each author puts their spin on how the paranormal universe works. Usually, supernatural species usually stick to their own and don't mix. In this book, intersectionality between species is common and encouraged by the MCs community. It even goes so far as to have the MCs be of different species (one wolf and one vampire) to be fated to one another.
Although it was short, it didn't skimp on the drama. The FMC had just gotten out of a bad relationship with a guy (who had ALL the audacity) and shortly after she and her ex's (hot) uncle become fated mates. If you are looking for a long novel following their love story and their HEA, this may not be the book for you. If you are looking for a quick read, a sprinkle of spice, a good helping of the FMC getting her lick back... you may want to dive into this one.
I hope that Landon's story is up next because I really want to see how ends up. Especially since he isn't looking to be mated but has to in order to take charge.
For this being Briyanna’s first dive into paranormal romance, they deserve all the roses in the world.
As a lover of all things paranormal romance, this books was everything and more. It had me complete hooked, I was full on giggling and kicking my feet at the blossoming whirlwind romance between Kassidy and Luciano, I need more. I want a full on series about them, their character design is just so addicting and you just can’t help but fall in love with Kassidy. I was fully rooting for her out loud as I read this from the comfort of my couch. This book definitely made me a fan of Briyanna Michelle. I’ll definitely look more into their works!
Enjoyed this paranormal romance. Happy that Kassidy finally able to meet her fated and escaped the pain from her ex, it was funny to me some may say messy but when fate is involved who can question it😁. The funny part was when New tried to check Kassidy in the bathroom for being with his uncle after all the drama he and his fated mate did to break her heart more; after being checked downstairs in front of the family I guess wasn't enough but that second time and then to have Cassidy get her some get back was the icing on the cake absolutely loved it would like to read more about these characters especially if they add hybrid babies
This was my first read by Brianna Michelle, and I can say def enjoyed this book from start to finish! Although it was only 24hrs, baby I def could’ve used 48+hrs to get more details into Kass & Luciano story lol.
First off I def wasn’t expecting her mate to be the uncle, baby plot twist for that ass; cause I would’ve paid big money to see Melvin jr face when he found out they mated 😂🤣!
I wish the book could’ve been stretched just a smudge as I felt the ending was a bit rushed, but then again they only had 24hrs soooo I’m not complaining!
I’ll def give Briyanna Michelle another spin around the block! 🫶🏾
This was my first read from Briyanna Michelle and honestly? I’m mad I didn’t pick up her work sooner! Twenty-Four Hours is exactly the kind of spicy, paranormal bite I was craving.
You’ve got Kassidy, a bold she-wolf who crosses paths with her fated mate Luicano... who just so happens to be her ex’s uncle. The scandal! And they only have 24 hours to explore their connection—so naturally, every scene is loaded with heat, intensity, and a touch of bittersweet knowing time is limited.
The pacing was perfect for a novella, giving me just enough character depth, worldbuilding, and straight-up steam. This Blackened Coven Mafia world? Yeah, I’ll definitely be back for more
the chemistry between kassidy and Luciano was there. I just wish the story was long enough for us to explore it more. Because baby 24 hours just isn't enough time to explore anything really. If this was a full novella I believe this could have easily been a 10/10 read. Especially with how interest this world is. Like maybe see what goes down when Luciano went on his missions or more details on him being black for the mafia. Like it's soo much potential just got to be a longer. But nevertheless it's definitely worth the real quick and spicy
Briyanna jumped into her paranormal bag for the first time and killed it. Now this is 1st time I've read getting with your bestfriend's uncle and it wasn't on no funny stuff. Luciano was on her from the moment they met. All it took was one look & knew she was his fated mate. Kassidy (wear wolf) is just chilling when Luciano (vampire) flows into life, and now she doesn't know what to do. But she Luciano's lead & they only have 24hrs before leaves for a mission. That 24hrs was loving, funny, passionate, and spicy! Quick fun read.
Ummmmm this was a really interesting read. I think considering how short this story was Briyanna did a good job at providing context for the scenes and characters. She also told us up front what this was and what to expect.
I just wish there was more character and relationship development for us to follow.
But if someone wants a quick smutty read this is for them. I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into until I read the disclaimer in the beginning. I usually don’t read synopsis especially if someone recommends the book to me.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Kassidy and Luciano was the best. Loved this love story. Loved how he knew she was all he needed from their first encounter inspite of her past relationship with his f-boy nephew Melvin. And the bathroom scene, was spot on, if get back was a scene that was it. This paranormal romance was just enough to keep hope alive for us single girlies. And Luciano bringing her fantasy to life was EVERYTHING
The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it wasn’t long enough. It took me a while to finish this only because I had some personal things going on. I love a book that can capture my attention at the beginning of the book and keep it to the end. The characters were well written as well as the story. I could imagine how things were happening and it kept me smiling the whole way through. I wanna know what happened to them now. Can we get a book 2?
I was hoping for a quick read with this because it was only 100 pages but I called it quits after chapter 2. Something about the way the characters talked didn't work for me - felt like it wasn't consistent in the style/language. And given these 2 were mates & typically they know instantly, the connection between them just wasn't working for me. I found this from the author's TikTok page & was intrigued. It has potential; I'm not opposed to trying this author again in the future.
Short and sweet. I loved reading about Kass and Luciano. To find a mate and have an immediate connection is a beautiful thing. I know this was Bri’s first paranormal but, it was good. I lived the detailing of the scenes, especially the Fantasy of Kass’s at the end. I wish book was a little to talk about the breakup of Melvin and Kass to him cheating and having a family. The scene between Melvin and Luciano being more detailed would have been nice. But, overall good work Bri.
I normally don’t read paranormal books but Twenty four hours was a good short read that I enjoyed. When you know you know doesn’t matter how long you knew a person. Luciano that man ain’t nothing but the truth and FINE baby. A true man through and through. For this to be Briyanna first paranormal book she did a good job and I need more or Luciano and Kassidy.
I usually don’t gravitate to paranormal but this book was just what i needed to start this journey. Luciano and Kassidy’s character was very enjoyable, the author did a very good job for her first paranormal. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read your book as an arc, wishing you all the best
I enjoyed this book. This is my first read from this author and now I have to read more from her catalog. For it to be Briyanna’s first paranormal I’m impressed. Unk knew Kassidy was his mate and made it happen. I love seeing a grown man that knows what he wants. Can’t wait to read more from Briyanna Michelle.
All I have is 24 hours… are you game? YES! What one family member won’t do, the next one will… AYEEEE 🤭 One dose of you…. Whew! Luciano was hooked & his “flower” felt the same about him too! Listen… Luciano played no games about Flower! We may be blood, but she is my heart‼️ Baby… I want to be Luciano’s flower!
This was a good book. I’m sure that this world will come up again and I hope that next time it’s not going to be a novella. Luciano and Cassidy were a good time. The book just felt so rushed. I hope that we hear more about their story and I hope that we hear more about the stories of other characters in the book.
This was my first paranormal romance book so it was different. kass and Luciano were cute and sweet. Fate brought them together and Luciano didn’t realize how much he needed her. They were able to experience genuine love and happiness! It was a cute short story.
